BNP Paribas’ Securities Services business has won a long-term strategic mandate with Janus Henderson to provide a wide range of fund and market & financing services across the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, and Australia.
Following a competitive tendering process, BNP Paribas has been appointed by Janus Henderson for its capacity to help enhance operational efficiencies across regions, and notably, to support Janus Henderson’s front-to-back target operating model transformation.
Through the new mandate BNP Paribas will service Janus Henderson’s open-ended funds and investment trusts in Europe and Asia-Pacific, alongside depositary, custody, cash, and FX services.
BNP Paribas and Janus Henderson have a long-standing partnership spanning over two decades, with Securities Services supporting Janus Henderson’s various fund launches, system changes, and targeted integration acquisitions globally.
Panos Nikopolitidis, Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Janus Henderson Investors, said: “As we continue to evolve our global operating model, it is important that we work with partners who can support us across regions with scale, resilience, and deep market expertise. We look forward to building on our long-standing collaboration with BNP Paribas as we execute our strategic priorities and continue to serve our clients globally.”
Arnaud Claudon, Head of Asset Managers and Asset Owners Client Lines, Securities Services, BNP Paribas, said: “Harnessing the expertise of our Securities Services and Global Markets businesses, we are able to offer Janus Henderson a unique and integrated solution that goes beyond asset servicing, driving their business forward and supporting their ambitious plans. This mandate is a testament to the strength of our client relationships, as well as our ability to deliver service excellence globally and meet their evolving needs.”
