Business Wire
Janus Henderson Investors (NYSE: JHG, ASX: JHG) today announced
that the firm has received the 2019 Best Analytics Initiative award
given at the 15th annual American Financial Technology Awards event
for its Portfolio Construction & Strategy (PCS) Portal,
launched earlier this year.
The PCS Portal, developed through a partnership between Janus
Henderson’s Technology division and Portfolio Construction &
Strategy team, is a proprietary portfolio analysis platform that
has already created over 10,000 customized client investment
portfolio presentations and is used by over 75 Janus Henderson
employees. After the successful 2019 launch, the firm plans to
globally launch the platform in 2020.
The American Financial Technology Awards (AFTAs) recognize
excellence in the deployment and management of financial technology
within the asset management and investment banking communities. The
Best Analytics Initiative category rewards innovative use of
analytics tools to improve efficiency and operations, with the
judges looking for companies to demonstrate that their analytics
tools deliver measurable business benefits. Past winners of the
Best Analytics Initiative award include Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan,
Northern Trust, Fannie Mae and Morgan Stanley.
Cyril Obot, Global Head of Distribution Technology, said, “This
is a highly competitive industry award and this year was no
exception, a great recognition for everyone involved. The PCS
Portal is one of many examples of how close partnership between IT
and the business, helps drive innovative thinking and solutions to
meet our business objectives. Janus Henderson’s embrace of a
culture of collaboration, innovation and creativity is evident in
our pedigree of award-winning platforms like eQuantum, Quantum
Mobile and now PCS Portal. Many thanks and congratulations to the
team of engineers, designers and business partners that were
involved in the delivery of this ground-breaking product.”
Paul Algreen, Chief Information Officer echoed Cyril’s comments
by saying, “Winning an AFTA is fantastic recognition for the Janus
Henderson PCS Portal and the technology and analytics solution
that’s delivering such a positive impact for our business and our
clients.”
Internal data from Janus Henderson shows that clients receiving
service involving the PCS Portal are twice as likely to invest with
the firm and, on average, they invest 30% more than clients not
served through the Portal.
Adam Hetts, Head of Portfolio Construction & Strategy,
commented from a client-facing perspective, “At Janus Henderson
we’re focused on delivering solutions to our clients and this
technology is used every day by my team of portfolio strategists to
help our clients solve complex investment problems. The scale Paul,
Cyril and team have helped build is game-changing because it
empowers our broader sales force to deliver a sophisticated,
customized response to a huge client base that my team alone could
not address.”
