Man Group

Man Group is a British investment management firm founded in 1783, making it one of the world's oldest financial institutions. Headquartered in London, the firm has evolved from its origins as a sugar cooperage and brokerage into a leading global hedge fund manager. As of 2024, Man Group reported assets under management (AUM) of $178.2 billion, reflecting a 17.5% increase from the previous year. This growth was driven by the expansion of its liquid credit strategies and robust U.S. direct lending operations. The firm's diversified investment capabilities span both public and private markets, offering a mix of long-only and alternative approaches across various asset classes. Man Group's investment engines include Man AHL and Man Numeric, which focus on systematic strategies, and Man GLG and Man FRM, which specialize in discretionary and fund-of-funds strategies, respectively. Additionally, Man GPM provides private market solutions, including real estate and private equity investments. The firm is committed to responsible investment practices and is a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). Man Group's dedication to technology and research is exemplified by its collaboration with the University of Oxford through the Oxford-Man Institute, focusing on machine learning and data analytics to enhance investment strategies. In 2023, Robyn Grew was appointed as CEO, succeeding Luke Ellis. Under her leadership, the firm continues to prioritize delivering superior risk-adjusted performance for its clients while maintaining high standards of integrity and excellence.
