Janus Henderson, a leading global active asset manager, has
selected the Charles River Investment Management Solution (Charles
River IMS) following the merger of Janus Capital Group and
Henderson Group. The new entity, Janus Henderson Investors, will
use Charles River IMS delivered as a service and MSCI’s portfolio
and risk analytics to improve decision support, streamline
operations, and increase front office productivity across multiple
regions.
“The priority was to create a unified investment platform
strategy for scaling up the business without increasing operational
costs. After extensive review of solutions in the marketplace,
Charles River and MSCI proved to be the best fit,” said Enrique
Chang, Global Chief Investment Officer, Janus Henderson Investors.
“Centralizing and automating the new entity’s processes will allow
our alpha generating team to maximize investment performance and
bring new products to market faster.”
Charles River IMS serves as the front and middle office

will help provide an enterprise-wide, consistent and more efficient
operating model,” said Spiros Giannaros, President, Charles River.
“Our growing third-party provider ecosystem enables investment
professionals to access their preferred analytics, data and
liquidity venues from a single desktop. Leading providers such as
MSCI can now deliver fit-for-purpose portfolio and risk analytics
to our mutual clients directly from Charles River IMS.”
“MSCI’s analytics suite enables investors to manage their
investment process more efficiently and streamline workflows across
asset classes,” said Jorge Mina, Head of Analytics at MSCI. “This
underscores the value that global investment firms find in adopting
open and extensible platforms. With the increased pace of M&A
amongst asset managers, the ability to consolidate disparate

will serve as a key enabler of growth for the newly combined
entities.”
