As UK-listed asset management group Henderson Group confirmed it was in talks to buy UK rival Gartmore, Henderson turns out to be the home of this week’s top-performing portfolio manager. And what’s more, he has been holding shares in one of Gartmore’s investment trusts.

The top-performing manager over the five days from Monday to Friday last week was Paul Craig, manager of the UK Strategic Income at Henderson Global Investors, according to data provider Financial Express.
