Janus Launches New International Equity Fund

Janus Capital Group Inc. (NYSE: JNS) today introduced Janus Adviser International Equity Fund, a portfolio that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in non-U.S. companies. The fund, which is based upon an existing institutional strategy, aims to leverage Janus’ proprietary research process to identify and capitalize on firms with strong growth prospects or a sustainable competitive advantage in the international market. The fund normally limits investments in emerging markets to 15% of its holdings and normally maintains both sector and country exposures within a 10% range of those in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index. According to Jonathan Coleman, co-chief investment officer of Janus, the new fund leverages the research efforts of the company’s international equity team. "This fund is a great fit in our international product lineup,” said Coleman. "We think this is an attractive investment option for intermediary and institutional clients seeking a broadly diversified international portfolio.” Janus Adviser International Equity Fund will be managed by co-portfolio managers Julian Pick, Doug Kirkpatrick and Laurent Saltiel. All three portfolio managers are members of the international equity team and have managed similar investment strategies in Janus’ institutional portfolios. Pick has been with Janus for more than nine years and also serves on Janus’ financial sector team. He has a bachelor’s degree in economics from George Mason University and is a CFA charterholder. Kirkpatrick joined Janus in 2001 as an equity analyst specializing in industrial and consumer staple stocks. Prior to joining Janus, he was an analyst with Artisan Partners LP. Kirkpatrick has a master's of business administration degree from the University of California at Berkeley and is a CFA charterholder. Saltiel joined Janus in 2002 as an equity analyst covering basic material, consumer staple and retail securities. Prior to joining Janus, he was an analyst with RS Investments in San Francisco.
