Janus Henderson packages fixed interest strategy into new ETF

Janus Henderson Investors has grown its exchange traded fund (ETF) offering in Australia to five, with the release of its new Janus Henderson Australian Fixed Interest Active ETF (JFIX).
Available via Cboe Global Markets, the ETF leverages Janus Henderson’s expertise in its Australian Fixed Interest strategy that first launched as a managed fund 31 years ago and now holds $5.2 billion in funds under management (FUM).
The manager said the new ETF launch aims to address demand for actively-managed fixed interest products, as the fund offers investors access to government and semi-government bonds, and corporate and asset-backed securities.
“We believe 2025 marks the beginning of a new growth story for fixed interest in Australia. Government policy settings aimed at stimulating growth are likely to reignite investor interest in the asset class,” Jay Sivapalan, Portfolio Manager and Head of Australian Fixed Interest at Janus Henderson Investors, said.
“The fixed income ETF market has expanded significantly, and actively managed solutions are playing a growing role in helping investors navigate today’s complex market environment.
“These strategies offer access to income-generating opportunities, can help stabilise portfolios during volatility and provide a pathway to attractive returns across market cycles.”
JFIX joins two other fixed interest ETFs available locally, including the Janus Henderson Tactical Income Active ETF (Cboe: TACT), and the Janus Henderson Sustainable Credit Active ETF (ASX: GOOD). Janus Henderson’s other two ETFs are global equities-focused and available on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
“As advisers reassess client portfolios, we’re seeing a clear shift in fixed income allocations. After a period of underweight exposure, many are now restoring bond allocations to benchmark levels — or even increasing them — to capture renewed opportunities in the asset class,” Matt Gaden, Head of Australia at Janus Henderson Investors, said.
“In an increasingly dynamic market, investors and advisers are strengthening their core portfolios and turning to actively managed fixed income solutions for diversification and income stability. With a strong 30-year track record, this strategy remains true to its objective — offering high-quality interest-bearing securities while prioritising capital preservation.”
