Our
  History

For over 90 years, Janus Henderson has been investing in a 
brighter future on behalf of individuals, financial advisers, and
institutions around the globe.

A rich heritage since 1934

The Henderson Administration was founded to manage Alexander Henderson's assets when he passed away in 1934. The organisation went on to become Henderson Global Investors, a global asset management firm based in London.

Janus Henderson today
Janus Capital was founded in 1969 when Tom Bailey acted on his view that the asset management industry could benefit from a firm 'west of Wall Street', and established his company in Denver, Colorado.

In April 2024, we rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate our 90 year milestone.
