Future retirement of Co-Fund Manager

 

 

After over 43 years in financial services, including 13 years as Manager of Henderson European Focus Trust plc ("HEFT"), John Bennett is retiring from the asset management industry and Janus Henderson Investors at the end of August 2024. In the meantime, John will continue to work closely with both Co-Fund Manager Tom O'Hara and the Board as part of a well-considered succession plan. 

 

Tom O'Hara, with 17 years of financial industry experience, continues as Co-Fund Manager of the Company, supported by the well-resourced European Equities team. There will be no change to the successful investment process implemented by John, Tom, and the team, which has delivered outperformance in most market conditions over many years.

 

Vicky Hastings, Chair of Henderson European Focus Trust plc, said:

 

"John works with and has led a very strong investment team with an excellent investment process. We are confident that this will continue for HEFT. We have worked closely with Tom as Co-Fund Manager for three years, and have John in place for a final year, so we are confident about the succession and continued support for the Company."
