Henderson Global Investors has co-invested £100m (€148m) alongside its clients to demonstrate an alignment of interests in a new move for the asset manager, according to chief executive Roger Yates.

Yates said the money was invested in a range of asset classes, including hedge funds, private equity and real estate. "Many of our clients want to see us put our capital to work too. We have over £100m invested alongside our clients, which is a very new development for us," he said.
