Janus managers construct portfolios and funds one company at a time and base stock selection on extensive proprietary research. In pursuit of an information edge, managers and analysts research products, visit company management teams, inspect sites and interview competitors, suppliers and consumers. Janus' analysts and managers place a primary focus on companies exhibiting positive and dynamic traits. These include companies with above average growth compared with their peer group or the general economy and companies that are realizing positive changes as a result of new product developments, a favorable regulatory environment or a shift in management.
All Janus' managers have full autonomy to construct portfolios on a stock-by-stock basis. Where some equity managers first choose favorable sectors, then individual companies within those sectors, Janus' managers analyze and select individual companies. This "bottom-up" selection process is based on proprietary research that is conducted by an experienced staff of portfolio managers and securities analysts.
