Management Company: Janus Capital Management, LLC
Funds Affected: Janus Henderson Global Sustainability Equity Fund
Principal Sustainable Investment Management Strategy: ESG Integration, Exclusions (Negative Screening)
Summary:
The fund will typically invest in companies whose products and services are considered by the portfolio managers as contributing to positive environmental or social change and sustainable economic development, including those that are strategically aligned with environmental and social megatrends such as climate change, resource constraints, growing populations, and aging populations.
In selecting investments, the portfolio managers will also consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that can create sustainable value, such as a company’s supply chain, reputation, brand value, and use of management incentives. Key ESG factors considered as part of the investment process include corporate governance, human capital and diversity, carbon footprint, and business ethics. The portfolio managers use a screening process to identify companies that are considered to have a potentially negative impact on the development of a sustainable global economy. The screening process, which may employ third-party inputs, is designed to identify issuers whose products or services are considered to negatively impact the environment or society. These companies include issuers based in countries subject to economic sanctions, issuers that stand to be disrupted by the transition to a low-carbon economy, and issuers that engage in activities related to the production or sale of products such as fossil fuels, alcohol, tobacco, and armaments.
