Our history

Investing in a brighter future together

A rich heritage

We are proud of our deep-rooted research culture, which has underpinned our 89-year track record of investing. Our identity today is shaped by a strong people-based approach. This has endured through our history as Janus Capital Group and Henderson Global Investors, and since we merged in 2017.
