EXHIBIT (h)(xii)

                      FORM OF EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT

         This EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is effective as of
____________ __, 2004 by and between Henderson Global Investors (North America),
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Adviser") and Henderson Global Funds (the
"Trust"), on behalf of the Henderson U.S. Core Growth Fund series of the Trust
(the "Fund").

         WHEREAS, the Trust is a Delaware business trust, and is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an
open-end management company of the series type, and the Fund is a series of the
Trust.

         WHEREAS, the Trust and the Adviser have entered into an Investment
Advisory Agreement dated August 31, 2001 ("Advisory Agreement"), as amended by
letter agreements dated September 24, 2003 and _________ ___, 2004, pursuant to
which the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Fund for
compensation based on the value of the average daily net assets of the Fund, or
average daily managed assets with respect to the Henderson Income Advantage
Fund; and

         WHEREAS, the Trust and the Adviser have determined that it is
appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to
maintain the expenses of the Fund at a level below the level to which the Fund
may otherwise be subject;

         NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       EXPENSE LIMITATION.

         1.1 Applicable Expense Limit. To the extent that the ordinary operating
expenses incurred by the Fund in any fiscal year, including but not limited to
investment advisory fees of the Adviser, but excluding any distribution and
service fees under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and/or shareholder service fees
as described in the then current registration statement offering shares of the
Fund and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs
and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred
in the ordinary course of the Fund's business ("Fund Operating Expenses"),
exceed the Operating Expense Limit, as defined in Section 1.2 below, such excess
amount (the "Excess Amount") shall be the liability of the Adviser to the extent
set forth in this Agreement.

         1.2 Operating Expense Limit. The Operating Expense Limit in any year
with respect to the Fund shall be 1.75% (annualized) of the average daily net
assets of the Fund.

         1.3 Duration of Operating Expense Limit. The Operating Expense Limit
with respect to the Fund shall remain in effect until July 31, 2007, unless
renewed by written agreement of the parties.

         1.4 Method of Computation. To determine the Adviser's obligation with
respect to the Excess Amount, each day the Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund
shall be annualized. If the annualized Fund Operating Expenses for any day of
the Fund exceed the Operating Expense



Limit of the Fund, the Adviser shall waive or reduce its investment advisory fee
or absorb the other Fund expenses in an amount sufficient to pay that day's
Excess Amount. The Trust may offset amounts owed to the Fund pursuant to this
Agreement against the advisory fee payable to the Adviser.

2.       REIMBURSEMENT OF FEE WAIVERS AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS.

         2.1 Reimbursement. If on any day during which the Advisory Agreement is
in effect, the estimated annualized Fund Operating Expenses of the Fund for that
day are less than the Operating Expense Limit, the Adviser shall be entitled to
reimbursement by the Fund of the investment advisory fees waived or reduced, and
any other expense reimbursements or similar payments remitted by the Adviser to
the Fund pursuant to Section 1 hereof (the "Reimbursement Amount") during the
period from April 30, 2004 through April 30, 2007, determined on a first in
first out basis, to the extent that the Funds' annualized Operating Expenses
plus the amount so reimbursed equals, for such day, the Operating Expense Limit,
provided that such amount paid to the Adviser will in no event exceed the total
Reimbursement Amount and will not include any amounts previously reimbursed.

3.       TERM AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.

         The Agreement shall terminate either upon the termination of the
Advisory Agreement or on July 31, 2007. The obligation of the Adviser under
Section 1 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Agreement
solely as to expenses and obligations incurred prior to the date of such
termination.

4.       MISCELLANEOUS.

convenience of reference only and in no other way define or delineate any of the

         4.2 Interpretation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require
the Trust or the Fund to take any action contrary to the Trust's Declaration of
Trust or By-Laws, or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement to which
it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Trust's
Board of Trustees of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the
affairs of the Trust or the Fund.

         4.3 Definitions. Any question of interpretation of any term or
provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to the investment
advisory fee, the computations of net asset values, and the allocation of
expenses, having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from the terms and
provisions of the Advisory Agreement or the 1940 Act, shall have the same
meaning as and be resolved by reference to such Advisory Agreement or the 1940
Act.

agreement signed by each of the parties hereto.
