JHAI is designed as a high-conviction portfolio focused on upcoming industry leaders poised for the future of innovation
Janus Henderson Investors (NYSE:JHG) today announced it has launched the Janus Henderson Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:JHAI), further broadening the firm's equities ETF offerings for U.S. intermediary clients.
The new actively managed ETF seeks to generate strong investment returns by identifying disruptive companies enabling, enhancing, or benefitting from the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
The Fund is managed by Portfolio Managers Denny Fish, Jonathan Cofsky, CFA, Brian Recht, and Chris Benway, CFA.
Janus Henderson has a long history of managing global technology and innovation portfolios dating back to 1998 in the U.S.
Separately, Janus Henderson also has a track record of investing in companies that could benefit in some way or another from the mega theme of artificial intelligence.
The investment team believes the case for active and bottom-up fundamental research is additive to an AI-focused ETF, and that investing over time in companies that contribute to or benefit from AI could offer an opportunity for investors to benefit from significant disruption and durable growth.
JHAI seeks to help clients harness the long-term disruptive power of artificial intelligence by utilizing the firm's dedicated technology and industrial analysts, well-established history of investing in innovation, and its potential to identify trends over the long term.
"We believe artificial intelligence could be the greatest productivity booster since the Industrial Revolution and the biggest economic multiplier in history. We aim to target companies reshaping their business models with AI, beyond just traditional technology investments. Our analysts are strategic investors with hands-on, deep domain knowledge, which we believe gives them an edge in identifying tomorrow's AI leaders," said Denny Fish, Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson.
The Fund continues the expansion of the Janus Henderson Americas Equities team into the ETF space, utilizing the team's well-established fundamental research philosophy and process for global technology and innovation, including AI.

OBJECTIVE: Janus Henderson Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (JHAI) seeks long-term growth of capital.
Artificial intelligence ("AI") focused companies, including those that develop or utilize AI technologies, may face rapid product obsolescence, intense competition, and increased regulatory scrutiny. These companies often rely heavily on intellectual property, invest significantly in research and development, and depend on maintaining and growing consumer demand. Their securities may be more volatile than those of companies offering more established technologies and may be affected by risks tied to the use of AI in business operations, including legal liability or reputational harm.
Actively managed investment portfolios are subject to the risk that the investment strategies and research process employed may fail to produce the intended results. Accordingly, a portfolio may underperform its benchmark index or other investment products with similar investment objectives.
Concentrated investments in a single sector, industry or region will be more susceptible to factors affecting that group and may be more volatile than less concentrated investments or the market as a whole.
Equity securities are subject to risks including market risk. Returns will fluctuate in response to issuer, political and economic developments.
Foreign securities are subject to additional risks including currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, increased volatility, lower liquidity and differing financial and information reporting standards, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.
Growth stocks are subject to increased risk of loss and price volatility and may not realize their perceived growth potential.
Industry and Sector Risk. Investing a significant portion of its assets in companies in the same industry or economic sector can make the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments than funds that invest more broadly. A more concentrated portfolio can be susceptible to factors affecting that group and may be more volatile than less concentrated investments or the market as a whole.
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are highly speculative investments and may be subject to lower liquidity and greater volatility. Special risks associated with IPOs include limited operating history, unseasoned trading, high turnover and non-repeatable performance.
Funds classified as "nondiversified" can take larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than "diversified" funds, which could lead to greater volatility.
Smaller capitalization securities may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and may be more volatile and less liquid than larger capitalization securities.
Technology industries can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants, and general economic conditions. A concentrated investment in a single industry could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated investments and the market as a whole.
