Ex-bond king Bill Gross has something to prove
Now at Janus Capital, he manages less than 1% of the assets he once ran at Pimco
New York

Instead, Mr Gross stunned the financial world in September by leaving for Denver-based Janus Capital Group Inc. The former "bond king" now manages less than 1 per cent of the assets he once ran at Pimco, the firm he co-founded in 1971.
