Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE/ASX: JHG) (“JHG” or the “Company”) today announced that Dick Weil intends to retire as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective 31 March 2022. The Board has initiated an internal and external search process with the assistance of a leading executive search firm to identify a successor to lead Janus Henderson through its next phase of growth. To ensure a seamless transition, Mr. Weil will remain in his role until March 2022 and assist Janus Henderson with an orderly transfer of responsibilities, serving as an adviser to the Company through 30 June 2022.

Richard Gillingwater, Chairman of the Board of Directors stated, “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank Dick for his outstanding service to Janus Henderson over a 12-year career. As the leader of Janus Capital Group, Dick successfully executed the merger integration that has resulted in the Janus Henderson that we know today. Under his vision and stewardship, the Company has transformed into one of the world’s leading active asset managers with steadfast investment principles and an unmatched commitment to serving clients. Dick has instilled a unified culture of excellence throughout Janus Henderson and, as a result, we have built a strong global franchise well positioned for continued growth.

Dick Weil, said, “It has been a true privilege to lead Janus Henderson, and I am incredibly proud of all that our team has achieved over my 12 years with the Company. Together with my colleagues, we have built a strong operational and financial foundation, extended our product offering, created significant value for our clients and our shareholders alike, and successfully positioned the Company for future growth. With the Company operating from a position of strength, I believe that now is the right time to begin the search for a new CEO who will continue the journey of growth that the firm is on. While the search process for my successor is underway, I remain committed to working alongside the Board and executive team to further our strategy and, to ultimately ensuring a seamless transition. In announcing my retirement, I do so with full confidence in my colleagues and their ceaseless dedication to delivering excellence.”

Mr. Gillingwater continued, “We wish Dick the very best on his well-deserved retirement and we look forward to working with him as we transition to the Company’s next CEO. The Board’s focus is on ensuring we identify a leader who can build on our success to date, and who has the relevant skills and expertise to enable us to realise our growth opportunities, expand into new markets and products and continue to drive value for our clients and shareholders.”
