Significant momentum across several strategic priorities, including:

  • Expanding our North American footprint, driven by another period of sustained growth across both institutional and wealth distribution channels
  • Accelerating our AI transformation by embedding cross-functional agentic workflows across the firm that drive tangible value for clients and shareholders

 

Robyn Grew, Chief Executive Officer of Man Group, said:

“We delivered a strong first half, which demonstrates the evolution of Man Group; the exceptional net inflows and record AUM we are reporting today are the direct result of deliberate, multi-year investments in the diversification of our business. We are now seeing the benefits compound into broad-based growth.

“In short, our strategy is working. We will continue to invest in the firm to extend our edge, scaling our credit, quant equity, and multi-strat capabilities to deepen the relationships we have with allocators globally.

“In today’s markets, clients are consolidating their relationships with a smaller number of highly capable, strategic partners who can help them manage complex risk and growing macroeconomic uncertainty. The quality of our people and our technology means we are well placed to capture that shift. As our clients' needs evolve, so will we, creating an even stronger business that is positioned for long-term success.”
