Janus Henderson Group plc announced has launched the Janus Henderson B-BBB CLO ETF (JBBB) for U.S. investors. The exchange-traded fund (ETF), which is the first ETF focused on providing exposure to B-BBB-rated Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs), will be managed by Portfolio Managers John P. Kerschner, CFA and Nick Childs, CFA. Jessica Shill will serve as Associate Portfolio Manager.

The ticker for the fund is JBBB. The launch of JBBB follows the pioneering launch of the Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF (JAAA), and provides investors with additional options to gain exposure in this highly specialized and traditionally hard-to-access asset class. The market for CLOs—structured securities collateralized predominantly by broadly syndicated, below-investment grade corporate loans—has grown dramatically in size and liquidity over the last few years, as investors seek floating rate exposure.

This announcement is further demonstration of Janus Henderson's innovative strategy and commitment to growing its offering of actively managed ETFs.
