Select the least volatile from pool of large-cap stocks
Janus Henderson Market Consensus Indices
CONNECT TO THE WISDOM OF CROWDS.
The Janus Henderson Market Consensus Index process seeks to outperform traditional indices by relying on the principle of the wisdom of the crowd in stock market prices. By utilizing big data sets from industry experts, the process seeks to select those stocks that have the highest return potential relative to their risk.
The Market Consensus Index process follows three steps:
- Select the least-volatile stocks from an eligible pool of large-cap stocks.
- Determine the Market Consensus Score for each stock.
- Weight each stock by its Market Consensus Score. Stocks with the highest expected returns and lowest historical volatilities receive the highest index weights.
