Multi-sector income
Driving your yield potential through our active multi-sector approach
Why now is the time to use a multi-sector approach for fixed income:
The investable fixed income universe is vast, spanning numerous sectors and industries, making portfolio construction complex.
A multi-sector approach offers several advantages:
 |
Broad Exposure |
Enables exposure to the extensive fixed income market.
 |
Risk Management |
Helps balance and diversify key risk factors.
 |
Enhanced Returns |
Can improve both absolute and risk-adjusted returns long-term.
Considering these points, a multi-sector strategy can be a powerful tool for investors looking to navigate the intricate world of fixed income investing effectively.
The value of an investment and the income from it may go down as well as up and you may loose the amount originally invested.
Fixed Income return disparity
Performance among various fixed income indices is constantly changing. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately predict which sectors will do better than others from one year to the next. An active, multi-sector approach may help to achieve better outcomes over the long-term.

Capital at risk. Past performance does not predict future returns
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.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) left rates unchanged, quelled the idea of a rate hike, and announced plans to slow the tapering of its balance sheet. Portfolio Manager Seth Meyer dissects the Fed’s decision and discusses the relevance for investors.
Our strategy is designed to:
Construct a portfolio of best ideas across all fixed income sectors
Actively add alpha through dynamic sector allocation and bottom-up security selection
Seek similar yield to high yield funds with significantly less risk by balancing interest rate and credit risk
Why Janus Henderson for Fixed Income?
- Utilises a forward-looking approach that looks beyond benchmarks to put investor objectives at its core
- Collaborative teams that share and debate ideas globally but retain investment flexibility within a rigorous risk-management framework
- A range of actively-managed solutions from core bonds to multi-sector that reflects four decades of addressing clients’ evolving financial needs
I think our key advantage in the portfolio is we really are a multi-sector fund and we have dynamic sector allocation.”
