Janus Henderson has agreed to acquire three specialist investment management businesses from Insignia Financial: Antares Fixed Income, Antares Equities, and Fairview Equity Partners. Financial terms were not disclosed. Together, the three units oversee about A$33 billion invested in Australian fixed income, broad-cap shares, and small-cap shares. Antares Fixed Income will be combined with Janus Henderson's existing Australian fixed interest team, while Antares Equities will be integrated into its global equity operation. Janus Henderson will also purchase Insignia's 40% holding in Fairview Equity Partners, which will continue as an independent boutique focused on Australian small-cap equities. The deal, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory approval, builds on a longer-term relationship and aims to strengthen Janus Henderson's presence in Australia.
