When Janus Capital and Henderson Global completed what they termed an “all-stock merger of equals” on May 30, changes were made at the board level to divide it equally between board members from Janus and Henderson. The CEOs of the merged company, Dick Weil of Janus and Andrew Formica of Henderson Global, were named co-CEOs. The company also announced the merger of several mutual funds.
