Friday, August 10, 2012 Janus' Slide Goes All The Way to Japan Janus has found a big investor based a long way from their Rocky Mountain home. The publicly traded asset management shop based in Denver, Colorado has sold a 20 percent stake in the firm to Dai-ichi, a Japanese financial company. The SEC filing for the deal notes that the Japanese firm will purchase "at least 15%, and no more than 20%, of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock" from Janus. Reporter Taiga Uranaka picked up the story for Reuters, and reported the price of the sale would likely be around $300 million. Reuters also reported the deal to be for up to 14 million shares. Dai-ichi will take one seat on Janus' board following the deal. This deal follows a report from Bloomberg last month that Janus had seen profit declining by 44 percent last quarter. The article noted the shop was down to $152.4 billion AUM. Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=40900 Copyright 2012, InvestmentWires, Inc. All Rights Reserved |
