Management-Led Buyout of Quantitative Equities Subsidiary Intech

Janus Henderson today announced that it has made the strategic decision to sell its 97%-owned Quantitative Equities subsidiary, Intech Investment Management LLC (‘Intech’), to a consortium comprised of Intech management and certain non-executive directors (‘Management Buyout’). The Management Buyout is expected to enable both organisations to refocus on their key value propositions: Janus Henderson on providing active, fundamental investing; and Intech on delivering quantitative investment solutions for institutional investors. As part of this decision, JHG and Intech will enter into a transition services agreement that provides for continuation of support services to help ensure a seamless transition in operations and continuity in serving Intech’s clients. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022.

With a focus on company strategy and execution, Jose Marques, PhD, former Head of Trading at Bridgewater Associates and current Chief Executive Officer at Entrypoint Capital, will join Intech as Chief Executive Officer. Adrian Banner, PhD, will continue to lead Intech’s investment teams and quantitative research initiatives as Chief Investment Officer. In addition to his current role as Chief Investment Strategist of Janus Henderson, Myron Scholes, PhD, will join the Intech Board in an advisory capacity.

Dick Weil, Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson Group plc, stated:

“2021 was a year of significant progress towards our strategy of Simple Excellence. We launched new products in focus areas of growth including active ETFs, ESG and Fixed Income. We strengthened our leadership with key hires. We improved our platform through significant technology and data upgrades, and the strategic decision to sell Intech further simplifies our operating model. We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Intech that benefits both firms, providing Janus Henderson with increased operating efficiency and focus on fundamental, active investment, while fulfilling Intech’s desire to operate independently in the delivery of quantitative investment solutions.

“Our dedicated focus on our clients produced good momentum in our business. Flows into Fixed Income and Multi-Asset capabilities were robust and we saw good client demand in our Intermediary channel, particularly in the EMEA & LatAm and Asia Pacific regions, which had net inflows for the year. Investment performance remained solid, and combined with favourable markets, increased AUM to a record US$432.3 billion at year end. Our financial results were strong. We continued to generate significant cash flow and increased capital returns to shareholders through both dividends and share buybacks. As we enter 2022, we believe that the significant progress towards our strategic objectives and the momentum in our business positions Janus Henderson well on the path to sustained growth.”

Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable.

Cash management vehicles, ETF-enhanced beta strategies, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 5% of AUM as at 31 December 2021. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

Analysis based on ‘primary’ share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares or share class with longest history for US Trusts; Class A Shares or share class with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components.

____________________
1		JHG contracts with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of its investment products. Fees for distribution and servicing related activities are either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by JHG and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees collected by JHG are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and service fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, JHG performs the distribution and servicing activities and retains the applicable fees. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by JHG are not deducted from GAAP revenue.
2		Adjustments primarily represent rent expense for subleased office space. In addition, the adjustments for the three months ended 30 September 2021 and the year ended 31 December 2021 include a one-time charge related to the employee benefits trust. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
3		Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognised at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. Adjustments also include impairment charges of our goodwill and certain mutual fund investment management agreements, client relationships and trademarks. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
4		Adjustments primarily represent contingent consideration adjustments associated with prior acquisitions. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
5		The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable US or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible.
