Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 28

Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:JHG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his take on. Cramer mentioned the company during the episode and stated:

“Or how about the deal this morning, where Trian, the fund led by Nelson Peltz, and an outfit called General Catalyst Group are taking the storied money manager Janus Henderson private for $7.4 billion, which is 18% above where it was trading back in October when Trian and its partners made their first offer for the company. The big story here, Janus knows that it wants to move aggressively using AI to come up with great things for investors. The performance for most of their funds has been stellar, and if you have money with them, you won’t even notice these moves they’re going to be making that I’m about to talk about. But Janus doesn’t feel it can make these kinds of moves with AI without crushing its stock, as long as it remains a public company, which is why it wants to go private here. I think this deal is the template for dozens of companies going private in 2026.”

Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:JHG) manages investments for institutions, retail clients, and high-net-worth individuals. The firm also invests in real estate and private companies.
