Denver-based
Janus is adding to its burgeoning fund family with its new
Strategic Value Fund, which will have a subscription period starting today and ending on February 29. The new fund will be managed by
David Decker, the portfolio manager of the
Janus Special Situations Fund since its inception in 1996.
"Janus Strategic Value Fund will transcend conventional growth and value labels by combining David's expertise in identifying undervalued companies with Janus' proven stock-picking approach," said
Jim Craig, director of research for Janus. "David has shown that he is particularly skilled at discovering these companies before the market takes notice."
"I invest only in those companies with favorable risk/reward characteristics and growth prospects that have been overlooked by the market," says Decker. "That doesn't mean I'm limited to buying the old, stodgy manufacturing businesses most people have come to associate value with, but any well-run company with strong growth prospects."
The fund will only be available directly from Janus or through Charles Schwab during the subscription period, for an initial offering price of $10.
