Track record

Action taken against them

1 fine in 2019, £1.87m in total. This is part of the official register record and is worth reviewing before going ahead.

  • Fined £1.87m on 18 November 2019
    On 18 November 2019, the FCA fined Henderson Investment Funds Limited (HIFL). The reason for this action is because HIFL breached Principle 3 (management and control) and Principle 6 (customers’ interests) in relation to the management of two funds from its range of Global Enhanced Equity Funds between November 2011 and August 2016. In November 2011, HIFL’s appointed investment manager, Henderson Global Investors Limited (“HGIL”), which at all material times was acting as HIFL’s agent, decided to significantly reduce the level of active management that was being applied to these two funds. HIFL’s subsequent treatment of retail investors in these funds (through the actions of its agent HGIL) was substantially different from its treatment of the institutional investors in these two funds, namely: (1) HGIL informed nearly all of the institutional investors who were affected by this change and offered to manage these two funds for those investors without charge; and (2) HGIL did not communicate its decision to change the investment strategy to any of the retail customers who were invested in these two funds and continued to charge these investors the same level of fees. As a consequence of this action HIFL has been fined £1,867,900 pursuant to section 206 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The FCA’s action took effect on 18 November 2019 and a copy of the Final Notice is displayed on the FCA's web site.
