⚡ Quantum Brief
The Janus Henderson Intermediate Term Income Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index in Q4 2025, returning 1.21% gross versus the benchmark’s 1.10%, driven by strategic yield curve positioning. Short-term Treasury yield rallies steepened the curve, boosting returns, while spread risk allocation—particularly in high-yield and securitized sectors—weighed on performance despite an overweight stance. Managers maintained high-yield and securitized overweights, citing strong economic fundamentals, tight supply dynamics, and expectations of sustained demand amid AI-driven corporate investment. A resilient 2026 economic outlook, fueled by AI capital expenditures and anticipated Federal Reserve easing, underpins optimism for fixed-income markets, supporting risk assets. The firm’s active management approach emphasizes flexible sector allocation, leveraging macroeconomic trends like AI growth and monetary policy shifts to navigate bond market volatility.
