LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Janus Henderson today announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Rantum Capital, a Frankfurt\u2011based private markets investment manager, strengthening its presence in Germany and accelerating its ambitions in private markets across Europe.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nFounded in 2013, Rantum Capital focuses on providing private debt and private equity financing solutions to family and entrepreneur\u2011owned small and mid\u2011sized companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (the DACH region). The firm has raised around \u20ac1.2 billion of capital across its private credit and private equity strategies.<\/p>

\nGermany is one of the largest and most important institutional investment markets in Europe. The acquisition will significantly increase Janus Henderson\u2019s scale and local presence in the country, while Rantum\u2019s established relationships with institutional investors, including pensions, insurers and family offices, will extend Janus Henderson\u2019s reach across the DACH region.<\/p>

\nRantum is expected to play a central role in the build\u2011out of Janus Henderson\u2019s pan\u2011European private credit platform, leveraging its 13\u2011year track record and highly experienced investment team. The firm\u2019s differentiated sourcing model and established capabilities position it well to support a phased expansion across Europe over time.<\/p>

\nThe acquisition also enhances Janus Henderson\u2019s capabilities in private equity, complementing the firm\u2019s broader private markets strategy. Rantum\u2019s private equity expertise has the potential to support future product development.<\/p>

\nA distinctive element of Rantum\u2019s platform is its industrial partner network, a group of highly experienced former board members and senior executives from leading German companies. This network provides deep sector insight, strengthens sourcing and enhances local credibility, offering additional perspective and connectivity for Janus Henderson.<\/p>

\nThe acquisition builds on Janus Henderson\u2019s recent expansion in private markets, following the acquisitions of NBK Capital Partners in the Middle East and Victory Park Capital in the US in 2024, and the firm\u2019s pre-IPO investment strategies, and represents a further step in developing differentiated private markets capabilities across key regions.<\/p>

\nAli Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson, said:\n<\/b>\u201cAs client demand for private markets continues to grow, we are very excited to announce the acquisition of Rantum Capital, which expands our private credit and private equity capabilities in Europe, a strategically important region for the firm. This transaction reflects our focus on diversifying into high\u2011demand areas while also amplifying our existing strengths, including our institutional client relationships, to better support our clients\u2019 evolving needs.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

\nAlex Veroude, Head of Fixed Income at Janus Henderson, said:\n<\/b>\u201cWe are delighted to have the Rantum team join Janus Henderson. They have built a strong private markets platform with a proven track record and deep relationships in Germany and across the DACH region. As clients seek differentiated exposure to private credit, this transaction strengthens our ability to meet that demand. It builds on the private markets capabilities we have been expanding globally, including Victory Park Capital in the US and NBK Capital Partners in the Middle East, and complements our broader offering, including our securitised and ETF capabilities, allowing us to offer a wider range of credit solutions to clients.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

\nDirk Notheis, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Rantum Capital, said:\n<\/i><\/b>\u201cWe are very pleased to be joining Janus Henderson, a company with a strong culture and entrepreneurial approach. By combining our local and private markets expertise with Janus Henderson\u2019s global distribution platform, we will be able to create even more value for our investors in the future and expand our offering across Europe.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

\nFinancial terms of the transaction are not disclosed and the acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.<\/p>

\nCampbell Lutyens served as exclusive financial advisor to Rantum Capital. Schilling, Zutt & Ansch\u00fctz acted as legal counsel to Rantum Capital and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom acted as legal counsel to Janus Henderson.<\/p>
