The firm has also confirmed a departure from the team.

Janus Henderson Investors has appointed Dean Cheeseman as fund manager of its multi-asset team in London. He will join in September 2017.

Cheeseman will report to Paul O’Connor, head of multi-asset, the firm said in a statement.

He will join the firm from Mercer, where he was lead portfolio manager responsible for managing over $5.8 billion of active institutional strategies.

“I have known Dean for many years and believe his experience and calibre will bring great benefits to our team,” said O’Connor. “Dean has an impressive track record of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns for clients based on his skills in asset allocation and fund selection. His proven ability in raising assets will be invaluable as we focus on exploiting the many growth opportunities facing our multi-asset business at this time.”

Also the firm has confirmed that Chris Forgan, fund manager in the multi-asset team, will be leaving the business at the start of August.
