Janus Henderson Group Plc posted a seventh straight quarter of outflows, highlighting the asset manager’s continuing struggle to win over investors more than two years after it was created in a high-profile merger.
Clients pulled $9.8 billion out of Janus Henderson’s funds in the second quarter, taking withdrawals to $17.2 billion in the first six months of the year, according to a company statement on Wednesday. That keeps the pressure on Chief Executive Officer Dick Weil as he tries to turn the firm around during a tough period for asset managers, with investors increasingly shifting their money into low-fee index-tracking funds.
