Trusted By
Largely fueled by mergers and acquisitions, the size of registered investment advisors (RIAs), as measured by assets under management, has grown significantly. As of December 31, 2020, there were 749 RIAs with $1B+ in AUM, up 17% from 2019. Today, there are over 130+ firms with $5B+ in AUM. To shine a light on the growing RIA landscape, FINTRX explores three of the largest registered investment advisors (RIAs) based in Colorado.
1. Janus Capital Management, LLC = ~$236B+ in AUM
Janus Capital Management, LLC, was formed in 2017 from the merger of two complementary businesses that trace their roots back much further. Henderson Global Investors, which was established in the UK in 1934, largely offered bottom-up, analysis-based strategies. US-domiciled Janus Capital Group was founded in 1969, also with a strong research-based approach to security selection. The core client bases of each group were regionally distinct, and the merger of equals formed a truly global platform.
Today, Janus Capital Management is a Denver, Colorado-based global asset manager helping individual, intermediary, and institutional clients achieve their long-term financial goals. As a global asset manager with over 340 investment professionals and expertise across all major asset classes, Janus seeks to benefit clients through the connections they make. The firm has significant assets under management, a broad spectrum of investment capabilities, and a distribution team with a wide reach. These capabilities are important at a time of such change at an industry, regulatory, and client level.
The outlook for markets in the foreseeable future suggests returns are likely to be relatively lower and more volatile than they have been in the past decade. In this environment, the value of active management is often crucial. Its global network of distribution and investment specialists connects its capabilities with an in-depth understanding of client needs. They then deliver tailored solutions designed to meet requirements in different markets. Janus Capital Management remains focused on acting responsibly, not only in terms of how they engage with clients, but also in managing its impact on the environment and contributing to the communities in which they work.

RIA Review
A registered investment advisor (RIA) is any firm advising or managing the wealth of high-net-worth individuals or institutions. Directly regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), RIAs offer a wide range of financial services — from wealth and investment management to direct lending and personal finance education, etc. An important distinction regarding RIAs is the fiduciary obligation to always act in the best interest of their clients.
