Man Discretionary (formerly Man GLG)

A fundamental, research-driven investment capability delivering high-conviction active strategies across global markets.
Funds

Formerly known as Man GLG, Man Discretionary represents Man Group’s fundamental, research-driven investment capability, delivering active strategies across equities, credit and multi-asset markets.

This offering brings together experienced investment teams previously housed within Man Group’s discretionary investment businesses, including Man GLG, under a unified platform designed to support high-conviction active investing.

The capability spans long-only, long-short and risk-targeted strategies, allocating to distinct regions, themes and alternative markets. Its global equities platform alone covers a broad range of investment opportunities with deep sector and regional expertise.

At the core of Man Discretionary’s approach is rigorous fundamental research, disciplined security selection and active risk management. Investment teams seek to identify differentiated insights where returns are driven primarily by idiosyncratic factors, harnessing big data and advanced analytical tools to refine their views and enhance outcomes.

Portfolio managers operate with a high degree of autonomy. Rather than being constrained by a centralised house view, they are encouraged to think independently, express conviction and act decisively within clearly defined risk frameworks. This independent culture, supported by collaboration across teams, enables diverse investment styles and perspectives to flourish while drawing on the strength of Man Group’s global platform.

Advanced technology, quantitative tools and risk infrastructure are embedded throughout the investment process to enhance research, portfolio construction and risk oversight. These capabilities support portfolio managers in implementing strategies that aim to deliver compelling, risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

As stewards of client capital, Man Discretionary integrates responsible investment considerations into its processes. Portfolio managers are supported in incorporating environmental, social and governance factors in a manner appropriate to their individual strategies, consistent with Man Group’s broader commitment to responsible investing.
