Henderson prepares to do battle down under

Henderson’s ambitions to return to the southern hemisphere were initially highlighted in April when it purchased a 33% share of an Australian natural resources specialist

Ten years ago, the Financial Services Authority gave the go-ahead for AMP Group to demerge Henderson Group from its main business, resulting in two separate business units – one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere.

As a result, UK-based Henderson Global Investors - then part of the HHG Group - exited all operations in Oceania. A decade on, a very different Henderson is preparing to re-enter the Australian market while executing an ambitious global expansion plan in both institutional and retail markets.
