Janus Henderson Opens Office in Hungary

Global fund management company Janus Henderson is establishing its new business service center (BSC) in Budapest, further strengthening Hungary's position as one of the leading business service locations in the region, according to the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA).

The London-based company, which manages almost USD 500 billion in assets, will create 400 jobs in Budapest. The new center will be Janus Henderson's largest European office and the third globally.

In the initial period, the Budapest office will mainly deal with operations directly supporting investment activities, the role of which will be continuously expanded with high value-added functions such as risk management, data analysis and legal compliance monitoring.

Budapest will thus be enriched not only with a new operational center, but also with a complex BSC covering a number of professional areas, which will offer outstanding career opportunities to Hungarian professionals.

Supported by the HIPA, the company will also launch a HUF 1.6 billion training program for the training of future investment and financial professionals.

Janus Henderson has been in business for 90 years, with 25 offices worldwide and over 2,500 employees. Its services are used by more than 60 million people.
