Nick Maroutsos, the head of the bond department at Janus Henderson Investors, with a portfolio of about $ 400 billion is ready to live the ultimate American dream.
At 44, Maroutsos has one of the most elite jobs in the money management industry. And yet, he announced that he would leave in October to consider his next step and “take to the streets” literally starting road trips across America with his young children, for “as long as they still like me” as he characteristically said.
Maroutsos, better known as the successor to former bond king Bin Gross, told Bloomberg he has not yet thought about what he will do next. But whatever it is, it will involve watching his 14-year-old daughter play lacrosse and more time with his wife and their other two young children. Maroutsos will join the legions of wealthy Americans who quit their daily jobs, adopting the saying “life is short” that grew during the pandemic. In essence, this is another unexpected result of the pandemic, which led some to renounce corporate life.
