Janus Henderson Cautious Managed fund loses Elite Rating

Sam Slator 19/02/2018 in Multi-Asset

Janus Henderson announced this week that Chris Burvill, manager of the Janus Henderson Cautious Managed fund, is to take an extended period of leave from the fund for medical reasons.

Chris has run the fund since 2011, with the help of co-manager, Stephen Payne, since 2016. Stephen will continue to manage the fund in Chris’s absence and will have the support of fixed income managers John Pattullo and Jenna Barnard.

Darius McDermott, managing director of FundCalibre, commented: “Unfortunately, the minimum three-year track record on this fund is only attributable to Chris, so the fund will have to lose its Elite Rating. We wish Chris all the best and hope he makes a full recovery from his health issues.”
