Tabula Investment Management

What Tabula Investment Management does

Tabula Investment Management Limited is a London-based specialist ETF manager that was acquired by Janus Henderson Group plc in 2024 and now operates as the dedicated ETF arm within the $378.7 billion AUM parent. The company designs, issues, and manages exchange-traded funds spanning core fixed income to high-conviction active strategies, with particular specialisation in three differentiated product categories: Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) ETFs that package structured credit exposure in an exchange-traded wrapper, ESG-focused ETF strategies addressing sustainable-investing mandates, and tokenised investment vehicles providing digital-asset exposure through regulated fund structures. The firm is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA, reg. no. 11286661) and, since 2024, has used Waystone Investment Management (IE) Limited as its appointed MiFID-authorised distributor across 15 EEA jurisdictions.

The company's revenue model is fee-based and recurring, deriving income from management fees and advisory fees charged on ETF assets under management. Products are targeted exclusively at professional and institutional investors, including wealth managers, financial advisors, pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds; retail investors are explicitly excluded from the website and distribution channels. Go-to-market is delivered through Janus Henderson's global enterprise distribution network, supplemented by Waystone's European intermediary coverage. All product content, investor disclosures, and regulatory filings are now issued under the Janus Henderson Investors umbrella, with Tabula functioning as the specialist product and structuring unit rather than a standalone distribution brand.

Operations are concentrated in London, with registered offices at 10 Norwich Street (EC4A 1BD) and business operations at 27 St. James's Street (SW1A 1HA). The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and is led by founder and CEO Michael John Lytle. Following acquisition, Tabula's product innovation roadmap, distribution relationships, and regulatory licences are being deployed as part of Janus Henderson's broader European ETF expansion, positioning the unit as the group's centre of competence for structured credit, ESG, and tokenised ETF product engineering.
