Henderson launches second flagship fund
Henderson Global Investors Australia has continued to grow its Australian presence, this week announcing the launch of a new product, the Henderson Global Fixed Interest Total Return Fund.

Commenting on the launch, Henderson Australia managing director, Rob Adams said the new product would be led by Phil Apel.
“This is another key milestone for Henderson in Australia,” he said. “We are committed to bringing high quality, contemporary offers to the Australian market, and this new fund certainly ticks all the right boxes.”
“Phil Apel and his team are recognised as world-class managers, with proven skills across all types of fixed interest instruments. The Henderson Global Fixed Interest Total Return Fund allows them to navigate across fixed interest markets with the ability to take views on interest rates, credit and loans while seeking to protect client capital,” Adams said.
