Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:JHG) is looking for M&A. Roger Martin Thompson, Chief Financial Officer, said that ?Finally, I'm pleased to say that our improving financial results and cash flow generation, along with a strong and stable balance sheet, has enabled the Board to authorize a new share buyback program of up to $150 million to be completed by April 2025. The buyback program does not change our desire and pursue to diversify our business through M&A where clients want us to do so. At this stage, our liquidity profile allows us to do both as we've demonstrated by the acquisitions announced earlier today that Ali will discuss further about in a moment?.

?Our return of capital reflects our positive financial outlook, our cash flow generation and our strong and stable balance sheet. We believe that our buybacks and stable dividends do not impair our ability to execute M&A, should further opportunities arise, and we'll continue to actively look to buy, build or partner to diversify where clients give us the right to win?. Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer said that ?We are executing our strategic objectives.

U.S. intermediary flows are positive, and our early strategic efforts in the EMEA and Latin America intermediary segments have resulted in improved intermediary flows. We continue to work on our institutional channel. We amplified and diversified our business with client-led inorganic bolt-on acquisitions.

We expect that these acquisitions are only the beginning. The M&A pipeline remains active and we continue to look to buy, build or partner where clients give us the right to further diversify the business?.
