Relative Value: Janus Capital (JNS US)
From BUY to HOLD/SELL – the $4bn man
JNS US: US$ 15.89
September 29, 2014
The news of Bill Gross resigning from Pimco to Janus generated a $4bn switch in
value from Allianz to Janus. On Friday, Allianz which owns Pimco, lost $3.4bn
because of this news, and Janus gained $900m. The gain in Janus would be
justified if Gross' arrival would mean that FUM would increase by at least $50
to $100bn. We think that this is “grossly” over-optimistic. Janus was one
of our focus long recommendations in our last IRS/Global Fund Management report
on Aug 26 at $12.10, and previously on Sept 11, 2013 at $8.5. At $15.90,
Friday's close, and at 1.75% of AUM, we believe the shares are expensive. Thanks
Bill Gross and exit.
