Janus Henderson Investors today announced the launch of the Janus Henderson Global Research-Engineered Equity Active Core UCITS ETF (Ticker: JGBL), now listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The ETF targets a tracking error of approximately 1.5% relative to the MSCI World Index and is designed for investors seeking to outperform the market through fundamental research while maintaining low levels of active risk. The fund is managed by John Jordan, Joshua Cummings, and Jeremy Tjaden, a highly experienced investment team with a proven track record of delivering attractive, risk-adjusted returns over the long term. Collectively, the team actively manages approximately $35 billion across multiple research-driven strategies.

While demand for ETFs remains strong, many investors seek to go beyond passive exposure, and this new ETF is designed to meet that need.
