"Last year was very successful for Henderson. We delivered strong investment returns for our clients, our best ever year of inflows and record profits. We continued to invest in people and new systems, and we expanded our global reach, all of which significantly contributed to the progress we are making to grow and diversify our business.
"This year has started well, with renewed client demand for European assets. As last year's results demonstrate, our business is becoming stronger across market cycles, and we look forward to continued growth in the years ahead."
