Qatar Investment Authority has joined a consortium of investors to acquire asset manager Janus Henderson Group in an all-cash transaction that will take the company private. The deal values the firm at approximately $7.4bn.
Headquartered in London, Janus Henderson manages around $484bn in assets on behalf of institutional and retail clients worldwide. The company employs more than 2,000 people across 25 cities.
The transaction is expected to provide Janus Henderson with greater strategic flexibility as a privately held company, enabling long-term investment and operational focus outside the pressures of public markets.
