Man Group manages investments for institutions, financial advisers and individual investors across public and private markets.

Clients access strategies covering shares, credit and multiple asset classes through funds or tailored investment portfolios. The group earns management fees based on assets and performance fees when portfolios meet agreed return conditions, with systems supporting research, trading and risk oversight.
