Bill Gross was having a good 2018, until he wasn’t.
Gross’s $2.2 billion Janus Henderson Global Unconstrained Bond Fund fell 0.83 percent as markets plunged Monday -- its biggest drop since Dec. 30, 2016, and the worst one-day performance in Morningstar Inc.’s nontraditional bond category among 64 funds with at least $20 million in assets. The swing reversed the fund’s year-to-date total return to a loss of 0.4 percent from a gain of 0.4 percent.
