Janus Henderson Investors announced today that Janus Capital Management LLC is engaging with The Pacific Financial Group (TPFG) to provide research services for both the PFG Tactical Income Fund (PFTSX) and PFG Janus Henderson Balanced Strategy (PFJHX).

The model portfolio business is a growing area of focus for Janus Henderson. Given the firm’s breadth of investment capabilities, extensive value-added/professional development resources, deep intermediary relationships, and product flexibility, it is seeking to provide high-quality model portfolio offerings and services for advisors and their clients.

“Janus Henderson continues to invest in and expand its model portfolio capabilities through high-quality partners like TPFG,” said Matt Peron, Director of Research at Janus Henderson.

“Our long history in active management and broad asset class capabilities delivered across a range of investment vehicles, including ETFs, give us the tools to construct a truly robust asset product mix,” he said.

“We have strong beliefs that financial professionals should be able to provide their plan participant clients with strategic and tactical investment models and are excited to have Janus Henderson join our line-up of outstanding strategists,” said Cory Kendall, Executive Vice President of Sales Strategy for TPFG.

The PFG Janus Henderson Balanced Strategy (PFJHX) seeks capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of income and uses a multi-asset class approach with a blend of equity and fixed income.

The PFG Tactical Income Fund (PFTSX) seeks current income as its primary objective.

These services are available on The Pacific Financial Group’s (TPFG) Self-Directed Brokerage Account platform called Strategy PLUS™. The specialty platform offers financial professionals a multi-strategy, multi-manager model approach to investment management for retirement plan participants that taps the intellectual capital of trusted investment managers. With the offerings through TPFG’s Strategy PLUS platform, advisors will have the ability to offer model allocations based on client objectives.

An early pioneer and innovator in the participant-driven group retirement space, TPFG has built a unique market leadership position in self-directed brokerage for 401(k), 403(b) and 457 accounts, with total firm assets under management exceeding $3.7 billon. The continued popularity of retirement plan brokerage windows and target date options demonstrates plan participant and plan sponsor interest in multi-manager investment offerings.
