Henderson Global Investors Launches Industries of the Futures Fund

CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Henderson Global Investors, the global asset management company,
has announced the launch of the Henderson Industries of the Future
Fund on August 29, 2008. The Fund seeks to invest in companies that
contribute to an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible
global economy on the premise that over the coming years, sustainable
development will be a critical success factor and that social or
environmental leaders will be most likely to harness the rewards of
early adaptation to sustainability's challenges.

The Fund will invest in themes identified as "Industries of the
Future" which are based on sustainability trends and challenges, to
include cleaner energy, environmental services, health and sustainable
transport. The Fund's strategy will mirror that of a Henderson fund
available in the UK since 1995, run by the same portfolio management
team.

Sean Dranfield, Director of Retail Distribution, says, "We are
very pleased to be launching another Henderson Fund which we believe
offers a differentiated, bottom-up approach to global investing. The
Industries of the Future Fund is particularly exciting because
Henderson has been managing sustainable and responsible investment
strategies since 1977, so we bring a wealth of experience and
expertise in this arena to our shareholders."

The Henderson Global Funds family includes eight other load mutual
funds: the European Focus Fund, Global Equity Income Fund, Global
Opportunities Fund, Global Technology Fund, International
Opportunities Fund, Japan-Asia Focus Fund, US Focus Fund and Worldwide
Income Fund. The company also has two international separately managed
accounts products which are available to retail investors.

As Henderson's fund offerings have grown, the firm has retained a
focus on bringing its global investment expertise to US investors.
Total assets under management in the eight existing Henderson funds
totalled approximately $6 billion as of July 31, 2008.

Before investing you should carefully consider the Funds'
investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other
information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained for
free by calling 1.866.443.6337 or visiting the Funds' website at
www.hendersonglobalinvestors.com. Please read the prospectus carefully
before you invest.

International investing involves certain risks and increased
volatility not associated with investing solely in the US. These
include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack
of timely or reliable financial information or unfavourable political
or legal developments. In addition, the Funds may invest in a limited
geographic area or in a small number of issuers. As such, investing in
the Funds may involve greater risk and volatility than investing in a
more diversified fund. Technology companies may react similarly to
certain market pressures and events. This may be significantly
affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of products and
services, competition from new market entrants, and obsolescence of
existing technology. As a result, the Global Technology Fund's returns
may be considerably more volatile than a fund that does not invest in
technology companies.

The Industries of the Future Fund invests in securities of
companies that meet its "Industries of the Future" guidelines. As a
result, investing in these securities may entail greater risk and
volatility than investing in a wide variety of economic themes.
