"The fund delivered 3.60% in Q4 2025, outperforming its index. The manager is constructive on the structural opportunity in Japan, driven by political stability, wage-led inflation, and corporate governance improvements."
In Q4 2025, the Janus Henderson Japan Opportunities Fund returned 3.60%, outperforming its benchmark TOPIX index (2.62%) and peer group (2.99%). The Japanese market was boosted by solid corporate results, wage-inflation dynamics, and the introduction of a new stimulus package by PM Sanae Takaichi. The fund benefited from positive contributions by Shimizu and Mercari, while Nippon Sanso and Sony detracted. Active portfolio changes included initiating a position in Chugai Pharmaceutical and exiting DMG Mori following a severe profit warning. The manager remains constructive on Japan's long-term outlook due to attractive valuations, structural governance tailwinds, and wage growth supporting domestic demand.
