The Janus Henderson Global Natural Resources Fund has been added to the investment menu of the Colonial First State FirstChoice platform.

The strategy, managed by the Global Natural Resources Team’s head of global natural resources, David Whitten, managed over $1.3 billion as at 24 May on behalf both institutional and retail clients.

The firm said the strategy was a high-conviction equity portfolio invested across mining, energy and agriculture companies, aimed at early identification of profitable resource investment trends and pricing inefficiencies.

Also, the strategy offered the flexibility to move across the resource supply chain, which included production, extraction, exploration, processing, distribution and transportation, or the provision of services to the industry.

This meant the fund could take advantage of pricing shifts between upstream and downstream sectors and across a range of commodities, the firm said.

According to Janus Henderson’s head of distribution, Matt Gaden, the strategy reflected continued demand for diversified global equities.

“The global resources sector, which includes the mining, energy and agriculture sectors, has historically exhibited a low correlation to other asset classes,” he said.

“As a result, we believe the strategy provides potential blending benefits when combined with other global equities funds as part of a diversified portfolio.”
