Janus Henderson Short Duration Income ETF Price & Performance (VNLA)

Janus Henderson has announced a significant shift for its Small Cap Growth Alpha ETF and Small/Mid Cap Growth Alpha ETF by transitioning them to actively managed strategies. The new approach, set to launch in May 2025, aims to generate alpha through systematic processes and flexible rebalancing capabilities.12

The asset manager plans to convert two index-tracking ETFs into actively managed ones, focusing on portfolio optimization and alpha generation. This change aligns with their Mid Cap Growth Alpha ETF launched in 2024. The move reflects a broader industry trend towards active ETF management.23

Janus Henderson’s planned ETF strategy overhaul will retain current portfolio managers Benjamin Wang and Zoey Zhu. The update introduces active management without altering fees or classifications. This decision ensures continuity while aiming to enhance fund performance through a more dynamic investment approach.14
