"The fund returned 2.87% in Q2 2025, outperforming its peer group through strong credit selection. The managers are prioritizing credit carry over duration risk, but stand ready to increase duration if labor markets show material deterioration."
The Janus Henderson Fixed Interest Monthly Income Fund delivered a return of 2.87% during Q2 2025, outperforming its peer group average of 2.27%. Performance was primarily driven by the fund's credit holdings, with duration positioning acting as a smaller positive contributor. Macroeconomically, risk assets rebounded as US-China trade tensions eased, though focus shifted to US debt sustainability under the newly enacted OBBBA. In portfolio activity, the managers actively managed duration by reducing exposure in Germany and North America, while increasing outright US Treasuries on weak economic data. Structurally, they increased credit exposure using index derivatives and rotated out of tight investment-grade bonds into AAA-rated CLOs to optimize yield. Moving forward, the managers emphasize that 'carry is king' and maintain a higher conviction in credit over duration risk, while watching labor market data as a potential catalyst to increase duration.
