Janus Henderson, which had previously launched a suite of actively managed fixed-income exchange traded funds (ETFs), has now launched the Janus Henderson Asset-Backed Securities ETF.
With the ticker JABS, the fund will invest in high-quality, investment grade securitized assets meant to give retail investors access to high-quality and short duration assets. It is also a fixed-rate complement to the company's CLO ETF (Ticker: JAAA).
The product also joins Janus Henderson's group of other actively managed fixed-income ETFs, including JAAA, the largest CLO ETF; JBBB, a floating-rate CLO designed for exposure to BBB-rated assets and JMBS, an actively managed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) ETF.
"JABS will build on the success of our leading securitized products franchise, with the potential to help clients achieve superior financial outcomes," John Kerschner, global head of securitized products and portfolio manager at Janus Henderson.
