Our approach to DC
Through our experience, we recognize that DC default design continues to evolve, responding to the growth in assets and changes to regulation. We structure our DC investment solutions by aiming to meet specific requirements across each stage of the glide path.
Investment priority
Long-term capital appreciation
Key DC member risk
Missing out on investment growth
Investment solution
Return seeking assets, namely equity markets
Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income
from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

Key DC member risk
Falls in fund value
Investment solution
Defensive and diversified assets, namely diversified fixed income
Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income
from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
DC members select from a range of investment options
- Annuity
- Cash
- Income Drawdown
The Pension Freedom legislation, introduced in 2015, have led to a dramatic change in the way in which DC members can convert their accumulated DC savings pot into a source of retirement finance. The need for income generating investment options is fast becoming an important component within decumulation investment design, as more people consider income drawdown.
At Janus Henderson we have a range of investment options where generating a sustainable level of income is central to the investment objective. These include:
Global Dividend Equities
Defensive Equities
Strategic and Multi Asset Fixed Income
Multi Asset Income
Property
Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income
from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
