Man's heritage

Man is today one of the world’s largest providers of hedge funds and alternative investment solutions.

In 1983, when we first entered the alternative investments arena, hedge funds were tiny and all but unknown. Today they constitute a $1 trillion global industry with influence, purpose and ambition. Man is among the leaders in this industry.

The essence of the business is the ability to offer investors the returns they seek – balancing income and capital growth in line with their needs – through bull markets and bear. Man has invested in and expanded across a broad range of geographies and hedge fund styles to achieve the scope, scale and balance that enable it to meet the expectations and aspirations of its investors, its people and its shareholders.

With offices in fifteen countries and through our ownership of world-class investment managers in the UK, Switzerland and America, we have become a truly global operation. An operation united behind a proven business philosophy built on resilience, entrepreneurialism and innovation, and a deeply embedded commitment to 'doing the right thing' by all its stakeholders.

Throughout Man's history of over 225 years one truth has remained constant: without trust and reputation, any business's days are numbered; with them, anything is possible.
