Henderson Global Investors has taken on credit manager Kevin Loome and five US credit specialists from Delaware Investments.

Based in Philadelphia, PA, the team reports to Loome, who in turn reports to global head of credit Stephen Thariyan.  

The five credit specialists are: Charles Devereux, head analyst; Devon Everhart, senior analyst; Douglas Zinser, senior analyst; Matthew Fanandakis, analyst; and Gregg Gola, trader and analyst.

The firm said the move comes to satisfy increasing demand from its global client base and to build on its existing European fixed income business.

Henderson has about $102 billion in assets under management, of which some $26 billion are fixed income assets.
