Drew Elder, Head of US Distribution “In the US we see the most immediate promise coming from an expanded actively managed product set in areas of strong client interest, including non-US equities in developed and emerging markets, income-oriented equities, and credit-oriented fixed income strategies.” Graham Kitchen, Global Head of Equities “As a leading active equity manager with global scale, Janus Henderson will have the diversity and strength in depth to deliver superior investment performance to clients, worldwide.” Kumar Phalgat, Global Head of Fixed Income “The merger gives us the opportunity to create a global multi-disciplinary network of investment research and skill, providing us with richer and deeper insights into fixed income markets, enhancing our ability to identify great risk adjusted opportunities for the benefit of all clients, and to really understand the relative value of these on a global basis. All time zones execution capability means we'll be able to put ideas to work quickly in client portfolios. We are creating a truly global network, borne out of established local expertise in all fixed income markets.” Jennifer McPeek, Chief Operating & Strategy Officer “We are integrating our firms to have a combined global operating platform, which will create cost efficiencies and also superior operating capabilities, both internally and with outsource providers. We’ll drive savings through greater bargaining power with vendors and suppliers, and leverage all of our data and technology investments across a much bigger asset base. We’ll be able to do more, better!” Roger Thompson, CFO “For the first time, both firms will have global investment capabilities and distribution. Expense synergies alone mean the deal is accretive: more exciting are the opportunities for revenue growth.” Bruce Koepfgen, Head of North America “The strategic importance of our partnership with Dai-ichi Life cannot be overstated. Our four year partnership with them has exceeded all expectations and we are eager to extend the benefits of that relationship to the entire Janus Henderson family. It is difficult to imagine a more positive partnership with greater potential.” Greg Jones, Head of EMEA & LatAm Distribution “We are optimistic about early growth opportunities in EMEA and LatAm as we combine two highly talented sales teams and create a truly global product range. Longer term, we look forward to having the freedom to manufacture new product, for example developing a range of compelling asset allocation strategies.” The opportunity Rob Adams, Head of Asia Pacific “Janus Henderson in Australia will be in an even better position to continue our strong growth path. The expansion of our capability set and service offer positions us as a true market leader and significantly improves our ability to form deeper relationships across all channels.”
