An extract from the latest HG Briefing – how much value could active fund managers add if they understood the value of human governance?
Henderson/Janus merger begs the bigger question of maximising shareholder value?
Business Wire (a Berkshire Hathaway company) has reported a possible “shareholder rights” challenge to this proposed merger to ensure Janus’ directors are “undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders.” This begs a more fundamental question of whether Henderson and Janus are already doing their best to produce maximum value; irrespective of any merger? A regular S&P (SPIVA US Scorecard) survey recently found that 90.2 per cent of the actively managed US mutual funds “failed to beat the market over the past year”.
