••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score

Guru Investment Theses on Janus Capital Group, Inc.

John Rogers of Ariel Funds Comments on Janus Capital Group - Aug 17, 2012

From John Rogers' second quarter letter:

Janus Capital Group Inc. (JNS) has tried even our patience over the years, but the company is on a much better path after taking some aggressive steps during the worst of the market meltdown. In 2009, the Janus board fired then-CEO Gary Black, replacing him in February 2010 with 13-year PIMCO veteran Dick Weil. In many ways, hiring someone from a world-renowned bond shop ran counter to this high-octane growthstock manager's brand. And yet, Weil arrived armed and ready to broaden the company's fixed income capabilities and expand its domestic and international equity offerings. As a result of these efforts, fixed income now represents $24 billion or 16% of assets under management (AUM), which is substantially up from 4% when he started, and value has grown from 10 to 12% of assets. Weil has also worked to extend the brand presence globally and also grow assets in the institutional arena. During this time, Janus's dividend jumped from 4 to 24 cents annually and debt was dramatically reduced from $1.1 billion at the time of the 2009 market low to $539 million today.

Business Description

Janus Capital Group Inc. (formerly Stilwell Financial, Inc.) was incorporated on January 23, 1998, and its subsidiaries provide investment management, administration, distribution and related services to individual and institutional investors through mutual funds, separate accounts and subadvised relationships in both domestic and international markets. JCG provides investment advisory services through its main subsidiaries, Janus Capital Management LLC, INTECH Investment Management LLC and Perkins Investment Management LLC. Each of the Company's three main subsidiaries specializes in specific investment styles and disciplines. The Company's investment products are distributed through three channels: retail intermediary, institutional and international. Each distribution channel focuses on specific investor groups and the unique requirements of each group. Janus offers growth equity, core and international equity funds, as well as balanced, fixed-income, alternative and money market investment products. INTECH's unique investment process is based on a mathematical theorem that attempts to capitalize on the volatility in stock price movements. INTECH has managed institutional portfolios since 1987, establishing one of the industry's longest continuous performance records of mathematically driven equity investing strategies. Perkins has managed value discipline investment products since 1980. With its industry experience, fundamental research and careful consideration for risk, Perkins has established a reputation as a respected value manager. The retail intermediary channel serves financial intermediaries and retirement plans for the advice-driven market, which includes asset managers, bank/trust officers, broker-dealers, independent planners, third-party administrators and insurance companies. In addition, this channel serves individual investors who access JCG's investment products directly. JCG has aligned the channel to focus resources on distributor needs and is targeting product platforms that tend to have high asset retention rates to enhance long-term profitability. The international channel serves professional investors outside of the United States, including central and local government pensions, corporate pensions, multi-managers, insurance companies and private banks. International products are offered through Janus Capital Funds Plc, separate accounts and subadvisory relationships. The institutional channel serves corporations, endowments, foundations, Taft-Hartley and public fund clients and focuses on distribution through consulting relationships and on a direct basis. Investors in the institutional channel often rely on advice from third-party consultants. Accordingly, JCG has assembled a Consultant Relations team dedicated to providing information and services to third-party institutional consultants. Although the current asset base in this channel is weighted heavily toward INTECH's risk-managed products, the Com
