SINGAPORE (June 22): Janus Henderson Investors, the dual-listed global asset manager with US$330.8 billion (S$459 billion) in assets under management, has appointed BNP Paribas Securities Services to service its Singapore-domiciled funds.

Janus Henderson Investors has migrated the custody, fund administration, middle office, trustee and transfer agency services for its Singapore-domiciled funds to BNP Paribas Securities Services.

The migration took effect on May 1, prior to the merger between Henderson Global Investors and Janus Capital, which completed on May 30.

The migration extends Janus Henderson’s existing relationship with BNP Paribas as global middle office provider, fund administrator and global custodian. The relationship covers key markets such as the UK, Continental Europe and Australia. 

Sophia Rahmani, Chief Operating Officer, Pan Asia at Janus Henderson Investors, said: “We are pleased to be extending our strategic partnership with BNP Paribas through this appointment. The depth of our global relationship with BNP Paribas and efficiency of our operating model are key to us providing high quality services to our clients. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with BNP Paribas in Singapore.”

Mostapha Tahiri, Head of South East Asia at BNP Paribas Securities Services, says: “We are proud to have extended our trusted relationship with Janus Henderson to Singapore. This should help provide them with significant operational efficiencies across Asia. Our network plays a key role in our long-term partnerships with leading global asset managers such as Janus Henderson, helping them grow their businesses. We are excited about this mandate, which demonstrates our extensive local knowledge and ability to support Singapore Collective Investment Schemes.”
