Janus Henderson Forty Fund’s Q4 2025 Investor Letter

Janus Henderson Investors, an investment management company, released its “Forty Fund” fourth-quarter 2025 investor letter. U.S. shares increased following positive news about corporate earnings. Economic growth has remained relatively stable despite challenges such as a government shutdown, policy headwinds, and slower-than-expected employment growth. Excitement around artificial intelligence (AI) drove strong returns early in the quarter. However, concerns about valuations in late October led to declines in AI stocks. The Fund returned 0.27% In the fourth quarter, compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 1.12%. Stock selection in the healthcare and consumer staples sectors contributed to the performance, while the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors detracted. The Fund is optimistic about the market environment in 2026, supported by ongoing steady economic growth. Please review the Fund’s top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2025.
