Summary of changes
The Janus Henderson Global Life Sciences Fund (the “Fund”), which currently promotes environmental and/or social characteristics pursuant to Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ("SFDR"), will adopt a new commitment to invest a minimum percentage of its net asset value in sustainable investments.
The Company's decision to include the commitment is down to its manager, Janus Henderson Investors Europe S.A. (the “Manager”), who continuously monitors and performs assessments of the Company's sub-funds to ensure they continue to meet client expectation and needs. Feedback from clients suggests there is a demand for the Fund to commit a minimum level of exposure to sustainable investments. Due to this response, the Manager, on the recommendation of the sub-investment adviser, has decided to introduce a minimum commitment in sustainable investments for the Fund.
Sustainable Investments
The sub-investment adviser will use its sustainable investment methodology to determine which investments may be considered sustainable investments. The sub-investment adviser uses a pass/fail test meaning that each sustainable investment must meet all three requirements below:
- it positively contributes to an environmental or social objective;
- it does not cause significant harm to any environmental or social sustainable investment objective; and
- it follows good governance practices.
An investment to the Fund will be determined to make a positive contribution to an environmental or social objective where:
- its business activity, defined as a minimum 20% of revenue, positively contributes to environmental and/or social objectives, which may include but are not limited to, alternative energy, energy efficiency, pollution prevention, nutrition, sanitation, and education; or
- its business practices incorporate carbon emissions targets approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative.
A summary of the amendments to the existing disclosures can be found in the Janus Henderson Notification opposite.
These changes will happen automatically so policyholders do not need to take any action.
The changes described above do not have any material impact on investors or on the risk profile, investment strategy, or portfolio construction of the Fund.
