Janus Capital Group Inc. said it received a request for general information from the Securities Exchange Commission related to FBI raids last week of three Connecticut-based hedge funds. The Denver-based mutual fund giant says it intends to fully cooperate with the inquiry.
"Janus maintains rigorous compliance procedures and Janus has confidence in the integrity of its processes and its people," the company said Nov. 23 in an e-mailed statement.
The Associated Press notes Janus is the first publicly traded company to acknowledge getting a request in the inquiry, which grabbed headlines when the FBI raided three Connecticut hedge funds.
