Business Wire, Jan 23, 2008

Brings Retail Mutual Fund Experience to Institutional Marketplace

CHICAGO -- Henderson Global Investors, the $123.5 billion investment management company, today announced plans to launch a mutual fund for institutional investors. The Henderson International Equity Fund*, to be made available on January 31, 2008, will be the first product in the Henderson Global Fund family for the U.S. institutional marketplace. The Fund will follow an All Cap strategy focusing primarily on the developed markets of Europe, Australasia and the Far East (EAFE). Selective investments may also be made in emerging markets.

"Henderson has been serving institutional investors in the U.S. since 1991 and today offers a wide range of products and strategies," said Dan McDonough, head of institutional business development in North America. "The launch of this Fund is the next evolution in the continuing build-out of our products for the U.S. institutional marketplace."

The Fund will follow a bottom-up EAFE All Cap Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) strategy, and aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation through investments in equities of non-U.S. companies. The minimum investment is $1 million, and the Fund will be managed by a team of portfolio managers, including Manraj S. Sekhon, Yu-Jen Shih, Iain Clark, Simon Savill and Yun-Young Lee.

International investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. The Fund may also invest in smaller companies, meaning these companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources than larger, more seasoned companies. In addition, the Fund may invest in a limited geographic area or in a small number of issuers. As such, investing in the Fund may involve greater risk and volatility than investing in a more diversified fund.
