Capital markets round up: Henderson targets advisory

During 2008, Henderson Global Investors expanded into the advisory business and Ganesh Rajendra has been hired to drive this part of the business forward. Rajendra last worked at Deutsche Bank, where he was head of European ABS research.

Henderson has advised the receivers on several SIV restructurings, including that of the Sigma SIV, a natural fit given the past experience of Jim Irvine, Henderson’s head of structured products, in managing the White Pine SIV while at JPMorgan (the vehicle was subsequently sold to Standard Chartered). But Irvine is keen to emphasize that Henderson’s advisory experience stretches well beyond this sector, with a series of mandates including both assuming the management of existing transactions and taking over entire portfolios.
