Nelson Peltz's Trian and General Catalyst are leading a $7.4 billion takeover of Janus Henderson, a significant move in the investment sector.

Janus Henderson is being acquired by Trian Fund Management and General Catalyst for $7.4 billion, with the deal expected to close in mid-2026, aiming to enhance investment in people, technology, and clients.

Global dividends reached a record $1.66 trillion in 2023, with Microsoft reclaiming the top spot as the biggest payer. The fourth quarter of 2023 saw strong growth, and Janus Henderson forecasts dividends of $1.72 trillion for 2024. Despite some sectors experiencing lower distributions, corporate cash flow remains strong, providing support for dividends and share buybacks. Europe and Japan were major contributors to global dividend growth, while banks led the way in payouts. Despite the impact of higher interest rates, the outlook for dividends in 2024 remains optimistic.

Global dividend payouts to shareholders reached a record $1.66 trillion in 2023, with a 5% year-on-year increase, driven largely by the banking sector's record payouts due to high interest rates boosting margins. However, cuts from the mining sector offset some of the gains. Europe was a significant contributor to the growth, with 86% of listed companies globally increasing or maintaining dividends. Janus Henderson expects total dividends to reach $1.72 trillion in 2024, with 5% underlying growth.
