Named after the Roman god of gates and transitions, Janus Capital seizes opportunity in the market as one of the top US mutual fund managers. Known for its high-flying technology funds in the go-go late 1990s, the firm manages more than 60 funds, including equity, fixed-income, and money market funds. It provides investment services to individuals and institutions in the US and abroad. Holding company Stilwell Financial owns more than the 80% of Janus, but chairman and president Thomas Bailey, who founded the company in 1969, retains the controlling interest in the firm. In response to slowing business, Janus axed more than 1,000 positions (more than 30% of its staff).
