How it started
History
The organization was founded in 1934 to manage the assets of the wealthy London financier Alexander Henderson after his death. The group became Henderson Global Investors. Separately, Janus Capital was created by Tom Bailey in 1969 in Denver, Colorado, who sought to establish an independent asset management service in the western US.
Janus Henderson was then formed from the all stock merger of Janus Capital Group and Henderson Group which completed in May 2017. At the time of the merger, the combined group had assets under management of US$331 billion. The new holding company, Janus Henderson Group plc, was incorporated in Jersey and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In November 2019, the company was fined £1.9 million by the Financial Conduct Authority for overcharging investors. In March 2023, the company was fined €1.7 million by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets for failure to provide notification of its shareholding of 3.02% in Renewi on a timely basis.
The company entered into a joint venture with Privacore Capital, to provide alternative assets for private wealth clients, in June 2023.
In May 2024, the company acquired Tabula Investment Management which specialises in European exchange-traded funds, and in August 2024, it acquired the majority stake in Victory Park Capital Advisors, a private credit manager focused on private asset-backed finance.
