The official launch took place today, February 18, 2026.
The new instrument invests in US short-duration high yield corporate bonds, primarily focusing on securities rated between BB and B. The stated objective is to offer high income potential while containing interest rate sensitivity and targeting solid risk-adjusted returns.
JSHY is managed by Erin Noel, Global Head of Quantitative Fixed Income, together with Brent Olson, Portfolio Manager on the High Yield team, and Mike Talaga, Global Head of Credit Research. The team is supported by 65 analysts globally, specializing in corporate credit, securitized products, emerging market debt and quantitative research.
The management approach combines a systematic framework using proprietary quantitative models to identify mispriced bonds and risks, integrating it with fundamental credit expertise. The strategy evaluates the full investible universe daily to identify relative value opportunities in the short-duration high yield segment, an area where traditional approaches often have limited coverage. The process follows a rules-based framework and integrates key quantitative signals within strict risk parameters, aiming to generate consistent alpha while maintaining controlled portfolio volatility.
“US short duration high yield has historically delivered solid risk-adjusted returns, benefiting from structural inefficiencies that result in a higher quality issuer base and lower volatility, often outperforming other traditional spread products,” said Erin Noel, Global Head of Quantitative Fixed Income at Janus Henderson. “By combining our deep fundamental credit expertise with advanced systematic signals, we aim to achieve consistent alpha, efficient portfolio construction and a more resilient way to access short-dated high yield opportunities.”
JSHY marks Janus Henderson’s ninth active UCITS ETF launch. The issuance follows the growth trajectory of the firm’s CLO ETFs, JAAA and JCL0, further expanding the solutions available to non-US investors.
The launch comes at the end of a period of significant growth for the manager’s ETF platform. As of end-January 2026, the European ETF platform had surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, while the global platform had exceeded $40 billion. Janus Henderson also confirms its position as the world’s largest provider of CLO ETFs and the third largest global provider of active fixed income ETFs.
