Andrew Formica, Chief Executive

The increasing influence of political events on capital market behaviour has generated further volatility and uncertainty, most notably in the eurozone. These political ramifications have a disproportionate influence over the investment universe, making the challenge for investment managers even greater. At Henderson, we capitalise on opportunities presented by a volatile market environment, whether that be at a corporate level for example the combination with Gartmore in April 2011, or by developing products that suit our clients needs, such as global income product – Henderson Horizon Global Total Return Fund. The main focus of our strategy and business model is our clients and we have undertaken a number of initiatives this year, whilst requiring some investment, year, will lay the foundation for making this an even better business in future years. By staying close to our clients and partners and delivering strong investment returns and excellent service, we believe we are in good shape. Therefore despite this ongoing market volatility, I remain confident about the outlook for Henderson and our ability to serve our clients’ needs.

“Clearly, the centre of gravity for both private wealth and institutional fund management is shifting towards Asia. We as fund managers need to recognise our clients’ needs and redefine our approach to Asian markets, in both products and distribution.”

Alex Henderson, Managing Director of Asia

Asia now has four of the top ten private wealth markets globally with Hong Kong and Singapore emerging as the largest private wealth management centres in Asia. In the institutional space, the Asia-based sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and insurance companies have also become increasingly visible and active. This clearly represents a significant opportunity for wealth managers in Asia. Since setting foot in Asia 17 years ago, Henderson has grown steadily over time with offices across Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, India and Australia managing a total of US$5.4 billion assets under management. Singapore and Hong Kong serve as the key anchors of our Asia retail market with our distribution strategy focusing on building strategic partnerships with our partners across the private banking, premier banking, insurance and IFA channels. While we have long been known in Asia as a sector specialist for our technology and property capabilities, we have in recent years also gained recognition – through the China and European equity long/short funds – as a provider of UCITS capabilities. Looking ahead, we intend to build on our existing success by introducing more products that are truly relevant to the Asian investor.

Understanding the fund The majority of the holdings in the Henderson Horizon Asian Dividend Income Fund consist of quality, high-yielding companies with sustainable earnings and cashflows. The remainder of the portfolio consists of companies with the potential to grow dividends over time. Such a strategy is likely to suit investors who believe in the long-term structural growth story of Asia, but at the same time are wary of short-term market volatility.

Key risks consideration: • Henderson Horizon Fund, as an umbrella fund, has within it different sub-funds investing primarily in equities or debt securities, each with different risk profiles. • Some sub-funds have the ability to use financial derivatives instruments (“FDIs”) extensively for investment purposes with a view to enhancing their performance. Such investments are subject to significant risk including liquidity risk and counter-party default risk. Together with the leverage effect embedded in FDIs you may lose your entire investment in such sub-funds. • Some sub-funds may invest in a single market / sector (e.g. smaller companies) and may subject the sub-fund to higher concentration risk than sub-funds following a more diversified policy. • Some sub-funds may invest in emerging markets which may be subject to higher risk of economic, political and regulatory changes. These investments may be less liquid and more volatile than investments in developed markets. • Some sub-funds may take short positions through the use of FDIs in some securities. Should the value of such securities increase, it will have a negative effect in the sub-fund’s value. You may lose your entire investment in such sub-funds. Note: Investment involves risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The value of the units and the income from the sub-fund may fall as well as rise. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. You should not only base on marketing material alone to make investment decisions. You should read the Prospectus, Offering Documents and Key Facts Statements of the sub-funds for further details. If you are in any doubt, you should seek independent advice and consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser.
