Bill Gross verlaat Pimco voor Janus Capital Group. Een bloemlezing uit het persbericht van Business Insider:
Janus Capital Group Inc. today announced that William H. Gross, world-renowned fixed income investor, will be joining Janus Capital Group. He will manage a recently launched Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund and related strategies, and will join Myron Scholes, Ph.D., and other members of the Janus team focused on global asset allocation. Mr. Gross’ employment will be effective September 29, 2014 and he will begin managing the Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund and related strategies effective October 6, 2014.
“I look forward to returning my full focus to the fixed income markets and investing, giving up many of the complexities that go with managing a large, complicated organization,” said Mr. Gross. “I chose Janus as my next home because of my long standing relationship with and respect for CEO Dick Weil and my desire to get back to spending the bulk of my day managing client assets. I look forward to a mutually supportive partnership with Fixed Income CIO Gibson Smith and his team; they have delivered excellent results across their strategies, which deserve more attention.”
Er zal ongetwijfeld iets spelen bij Pimco , aangezien eerst een andere topman, Mohamed El-Erian, vertrok en nu volgt de king of bonds en vertrekt bij Pimco . De partij waar Gross heen gaat Janus Capital staat in de pre-market handel ruim +38% hoger. We zien niet vaak dat koersen zo heftig reageren op het aantrekken van een fondsmanager.

Op 24 septbember meldde Bloomberg dat de SEC PIMCO's Total Return ETF onderzoekt op fraude. Zou dat er iets mee te maken kunnen hebben?
Pacific Investment Management Co. said it’s cooperating with regulators examining how the firm assigned asset prices at Bill Gross’s Pimco Total Return ETF.
“Pimco has been cooperating with the SEC in this non-public matter, and we take our regulatory obligations and responsibilities to our clients very seriously,” Mark Porterfield, a spokesman for Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, said in an e-mailed statement. “We believe our pricing procedures are entirely appropriate and in keeping with industry best-practices.”
