Shares of Janus Henderson jumped after the asset manager agreed to a
$7.4 billion take-private deal valuing the company at
$49 a share, an 18% premium to its pre-announcement closing price. The all-cash acquisition will be led by Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management and General Catalyst, alongside MassMutual, Sun Hang Kai & Co., and the Qatar Investment Authority. Trian, which owns 20.6% of Janus Henderson and has been involved since 2020, is a key participant in the transaction.
CEO Ali Dibadj will remain in his role, and the deal is expected to close in mid-2026. Janus Henderson manages
$483.8 billion in assets and has seen improving revenue trends after declines in 2022 and 2023, with growth continuing into 2025.
