Janus Henderson Investors (NYSE/ASX: JHG) today announced the
innovative Janus SG Global Trends Index has been licensed to Global
Atlantic Financial Group, a leading U.S. retirement and life
insurance company. The Index was developed in partnership with
Société Générale who acts as the index sponsor and licensor. As
part of this agreement, Global Atlantic will have exclusive usage
rights to the index within their Fixed Index Annuity offering.
Janus Henderson Indices has been providing quantitative index
strategies since 2012, and these strategies are now the basis for
$3.5 billion in investment products with major financial partners
including Fixed Indexed Annuities, Variable Annuities, and Exchange
Traded Funds. Janus Henderson Indices specializes in building
custom indices to meet the needs of sophisticated financial
partners such as Global Atlantic who today announced that the Janus
SG Global Trends Index will be available in a first-of-its-kind
crediting method for Fixed Index Annuities known as the Enhanced
Accumulation Strategy, or EAS, available within Global Atlantic’s
Choice Accumulation Edge product.
The Janus SG Global Trends Index uses dynamic risk management
tools designed to effectively diversify among global stocks, bonds
and commodities. Traditional tools have typically relied on the
assumption that stocks are always higher risk, while bonds are
relatively safe, which does not always hold true. Such asset
allocation approaches can overallocate to bonds in rising interest
rate environments, and may not consider the changing return
potential of different asset classes over time. The Janus SG Global
Trends Index uses market signals to manage these challenges
dynamically, adapting to changes in risk profiles between bonds,
stocks and commodities.
“We believe that this innovative approach to dynamic asset
allocation and the risk aware features of the Janus SG Global
Trends Index can make it more likely than traditional approaches to
deliver consistent, stable returns across varying market
conditions. The index is particularly suited to the innovative
crediting method, EAS, which Global Atlantic has today announced,”
said Nick Cherney, Head of Exchange Traded Products for Janus
Henderson.
“We’re excited to feature the Janus SG Global Trends Index
within our Choice Accumulation Edge FIA as the basis for our
innovative EAS crediting method. This option gives customers a
compelling new avenue to pursue their growth objectives,” says
Paula Nelson, President of Retirement at Global Atlantic.
Janus Henderson Indices is an innovator in index construction,
offering investors sophisticated approaches to understanding
complex markets. Grounded in our decades of experience in asset
management, our rigorous, rules-based approach powers transparent
and investable products around the world in a variety of asset
classes, markets and weighting methodologies. For more information,
