Henderson

Henderson's Emily Adderson, manager of the £85m Global Financials fund, gives her take on the findings from the stress tests on Ireland's banking sector, announced yesterday.

Henderson shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the acquisition of Gartmore, with 99.97% giving the go-ahead.

Manager of Henderson Extra Monthly Income Bond fund Ben Pakenham, explains why he is adding to risk assets following the Japanese earthquake and subsequent sell-off in high yield debt.

Henderson's Michael Wood-Martin discusses the impact of the Japanese earthquake on equity markets and explains how recent spikes in trading volumes provide some good news from a market perspective.

Fund managers warn Japan could take a short-term hit to GDP following last week's earthquake and tsunami, but they are less concerned about the longer-term impact on the country's fragile economic recovery.

Gartmore's Global, European and Fledgling investment trusts will make the move over to Henderson after the merger, with no plans to rename them as yet.

Henderson Global Investors has confirmed a raft of changes to be made to the Gartmore fund range following the takeover of the group.

Henderson's Trevor Green has joined Aviva Investors' UK equity desk, replacing Mervyn Douglas.

The Henderson International Income trust will be invested entirely in equities at launch to exploit the higher dividends on offer and the potential for growth.
