Flows, AUM
Average assets under management during the fourth quarter 2010 were $167.3 billion compared with $155.2 billion during the third quarter of 2010 and $155.2 billion during the fourth quarter of 2009.

“The increase in complex-wide assets during the fourth quarter 2010 reflects $13.5 billion of net market appreciation, partially offset by long-term net outflows of $4.7 billion,” the company said in a press release.
“Mathematical equity and fundamental equity (includes growth/blend, global/international and value investment disciplines) long-term net outflows totaled $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, while fixed income long-term net inflows totaled $0.6 billion,” it explained.
Also, fourth-quarter flows were heavily influenced by a $2.6 billion fundamental-equity redemption by an institutional client, according to Janus.
The increase in year-over-year assets was primarily the result of $20.8 billion of net market appreciation and long-term net outflows of $10.8 billion, the company explains.
On Wednesday, Janus announced the appointment of Augustus Cheh, formerly CEO of AllianceBernstein in Hong Kong, as president of Janus Capital International, effective March 29.
