Henderson Global Investors acquires H3 Global Advisors


Australian and UK-listed fund manager Henderson Global Investors has acquired 100 per cent of H3 Global Advisors’ equity.
Henderson has $123 billion in assets under management.
Based in Australia and London, H3 Global Advisors is an alternative investment management firm that specialises in active and enhanced commodities strategies.
It manages around $342 million on behalf of institutional and retail clients.
Henderson Australia’s managing director Rob Adams said the investment strategies managed by the H3 team are contemporary and complement their business globally.
“The strategies managed by H3 offer strong uncorrelated returns and can be an ideal hedge to more traditional asset sectors. We not only see strong demand for such return dynamics here in Australia, but we believe they will have global appeal,” Adams said.
H3 Global Advisors spokesman Andrew Kaleel said working within a global business would give the company an opportunity to fulfil their long-term objectives.
“Our boutique structure has served us well; however we are looking forward to being able to focus all of our time on investing and providing solutions for our clients. We are very confident that working with Henderson, we can do just that,” he said.
