Janus Henderson investors pull $18bn in second year of big outflows

Fund manager blames pressure on fees and the rise of index investing, with the market rout of late 2018 contributing to its woes

Janus Henderson reported falling profits and a plunge in assets under management in the final quarter of 2018. Chief executive Dick Weil described continuing investor redemptions as “disappointing”.

The US-Australian fund manager’s net profits slumped 77% to $106.8m in the final three months of the year compared with the same period in 2017, the company announced on February 5.
