History

The Company was established in 1934 to administer the estates of Alexander Henderson, 1st Baron Faringdon. In 1975 it started managing pension funds. It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1983.

On re-listing as HHG Group in 2003 the group comprised:

• Henderson Global Investors, a UK-based investment manager
• Life Services (comprising the life and pension books of Pearl Assurance plc, NPI Limited, National Provident Life Limited and London Life Limited, and HHG Services Limited.)
• The financial advisory firm, Towry Law

Between 2008 and 2012 the Group was tax-resident in the Republic of Ireland. With effect from 12 December 2012, the Group changed its tax residency from the Republic of Ireland to the UK by means of a corporate restructuring.

In 2010 the company phased out the New Star name.

In 2014 the company rolled out a new brand identity.
