What is ESG and why do we care?

Janus Henderson understands that Responsible Investing and use of terminology like “ESG” continues to evolve and mature. Our focus on ESG integration includes the analysis and incorporation of financially material ESG issues in the investment process, just like other financially material factors. We believe this incremental lens of risk/return analysis can make us better investors on behalf of our clients.

Building the foundations for responsible AI investing

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is the fourth wave of technology, following from the mainframe, personal computer (PC) internet and mobile waves. These prior waves of innovation have transformed industries from retail to media and ecommerce and now Gen AI has the potential to transform a broader range of industries – underscoring the critical need for responsible deployment amid challenges and risks.

Here we explore the importance of evaluating the credibility of corporate transition plans across key industries to identify the leaders and laggards capable of delivering long-term returns.
