Andrew Formica, Chief Executive of Henderson, said: 2015 was another strong year for Henderson. Our active investment management capabilities delivered excellent returns for our clients in difficult market conditions, and we achieved record net inflows and underlying profits. Our organic growth initiatives are making good progress, with encouraging performance from new investment teams and AUM growth in all regions, notably the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. We accelerated our growth plans in Australia with three acquisitions in the course of the year.
The first few weeks of 2016 have been challenging for investors and our clients, with a wide range of economic and geo-political risks weighing on markets. We will review our short term plans if difficult market conditions persist, but remain focused on our long term goals to grow and globalise our business.
