INVESTMENT OFFERING
FUNDS
Man Group is a global, technology-empowered active investment manager with investment capabilities spanning public and private markets. The firm offers a broad mix of long-only and alternative strategies across all major asset classes, focused on delivering performance and tailored portfolio solutions for clients worldwide.
As a steward of client capital, Man Group places a strong emphasis on responsible investment and long-term sustainability. Its deep quantitative expertise and data-driven culture underpin a differentiated approach to uncovering future opportunities and managing risk across market cycles.
Technology sits at the core of Man Group’s investment and operating model. The firm continues to invest heavily in research, data science, systematic trading, risk management and operational infrastructure to remain at the forefront of global asset management innovation.
Man Group organises its investment capabilities across three core investment offerings:
- Systematic – quantitative, data-driven strategies across asset classes, managed by longstanding systematic managers including Man AHL and Man Numeric
- Discretionary – fundamental, research-driven investment capabilities delivering distinctive alternative and long-only strategies across equities, credit and multi-asset, as well as private market approaches, including direct lending by Man Varagon. This offering incorporates capabilities previously housed within Man Group’s discretionary investment management businesses, including Man GLG.
- Solutions – a partnership-based approach (formerly multi-manager) dedicated to solving the complex investment needs of institutional clients through customised and outcome-oriented portfolios
These investment offerings bring together specialist teams operating with a high degree of autonomy, supported by Man Group’s global platform, technology and risk management framework.
