About the company
Man Group manages investments for institutions, financial advisers and individual investors across public and private markets. Its Man AHL and Man Numeric businesses use computer models to select and trade investments, while other teams analyse companies and markets directly. 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. The business traces its roots to a sugar brokerage founded in 1783 in the City of London.
