Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management said it has held discussions with Janus Henderson Group Plc about getting representatives affiliated with Trian appointed to its board.
Trian said in a filing Thursday that as part of its ongoing discussions, it floated the idea of having independent directors affiliated with the New York-based investment firm appointed to the Janus board, among other candidates. Trian owns an almost 17% stake in Janus, according to the filing.
