The all-cash transaction, led by Trian Fund Management and General Catalyst, values the New York-listed company at about USD 7.4 billion. QIA and Hong Kong-based Sun Hung Kai Co. Limited are among the strategic investors participating in the deal.
Janus Henderson, which is headquartered in London, manages around USD 484 billion in assets and employs more than 2,000 people across 25 cities worldwide.
