Henderson Group travelling well
Four years after being demerged from AMP, British-based Henderson Group appears to be on track, having substantially lifted both assets under management and its returns to shareholders.
The company has provided a briefing for investors revealing a steadily improving bottom line, with operating profit for Henderson Global Investors before tax for the first half of the current financial year already standing at £61.4 million on the back of total income of £178.7 million.
The company outlined its objectives moving into the future as being attracting and retaining talent, sustaining good investment performance and improving on those areas that have lagged, continuing to expand high margin products and exploiting operational leverage.
It said it also intended to drive revenues, profits and margins higher.
