Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
The fund pursues long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of 35–55 common stocks selected through bottom-up analysis for trading at significant discounts to the manager's estimate of intrinsic value, with expected value growth over time and aligned management teams. The fund is nondiversified, permitting larger positions in individual securities than a diversified fund would hold. Because performance depends on the manager's valuation judgments and the securities selected, results may diverge materially from the broader market. The fund may invest across all market capitalizations and in foreign securities.

What the fund is made of
Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

How it has done
JSVAX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 19.73%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 8 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.77% | +31.73% | +56.29% | +55.08% | -13.76% | |
| 0.90% | +31.52% | +55.60% | +54.01% | -13.80% | |
| 1.63% | +30.64% | +52.49% | +48.73% | -14.05% | |
| 0.63% | +31.90% | +56.84% | +56.07% | -13.72% | |
| 1.37% | +30.89% | +53.45% | +50.43% | -13.96% | |
| 1.11% | +31.26% | +54.68% | +52.44% | -13.88% | |
| 0.65% | +31.85% | +56.75% | +55.94% | -13.73% | |
| 0.53% | +32.04% | +57.36% | +56.93% | -13.65% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 8.19pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.64pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
