Janus launches two new funds

Janus Capital Group Inc. of Denver, Co. has launched two new funds: Janus Adviser Global Research Fund and Janus Adviser Global Real Estate Fund.
Both funds will be sold as third-party financial institutions and intermediaries.
Janus Adviser Global Research Fund (JRGSX) is a sector-neutral and diversified strategy that will be managed by Janus’ team of 37 equity analysts and led by Jim Goff, Janus’ Director of Research.
The fund seeks to outperform the MSCI World Growth.
The company anticipates the fund will have between 100 and 150 holdings and will typically invest at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. securities.
Individual position weights will be determined by the analysts, who are organized across eight global sector teams: communications; consumer staples; energy; financials; health care; industrials and materials; retail; and technology.
The goal of Janus Adviser Global Real Estate Fund (JERSX) is long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in global real estate securities.
A portion of the fund may be invested in non-U.S. securities in real estate markets with high barriers to entry and growth opportunities.
Janus Adviser Global Real Estate Fund will be managed by Patrick Brophy, who will be supported by Janus’ equity research team.
Mr. Brophy has more than 15 years of professional real estate experience. Prior to joining Janus in 2005, he was a principal at THK Associates, Inc
At the end of September 2007, Janus managed approximately $208 billion in assets.
