Henderson Global launches new fund



Henderson Global Investors has further grown its Australian presence with the launch of a new fund — the Henderson Global Equity Fund.
The company said the new product would be managed by Henderson's London-based head of global equities, Matthew Beesley, and that its launch followed approval from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) for two Australian Financial Services Licences, one of which allows Henderson to offer registered managed investment schemes to Australian investors as a Responsible Entity.
Henderson Australia managing director Rob Adams said it represented an exciting development for Henderson's Australian business.
"Our global equity capability, run by Matthew Beesley, is world class," he said.
"Matthew and his team have delivered exceptional performance to investors in other parts of the world, and feedback from Australian investors is that high quality, differentiated offers such as this will be warmly welcomed, as increasing allocations are made to global equities."
