Manny Roman, Chief Executive Officer of Man Group, said:

"Against the backdrop of challenging market conditions for the global investment management industry, we have delivered results for the first three months of the year that demonstrate the value and benefits of a diversified business model. Investment performance across our quantitative strategies and net inflows meant that group funds under management remained stable over a highly volatile quarter.

The ongoing uncertainty in the markets remains challenging and, accordingly, the risk appetite of our clients has the potential to impact flows. However, the ongoing diversification of our business has enhanced our resilience as a firm, and positions us well to navigate the current economic climate. As we have previously indicated, we continue to explore new options for growth, both organically and by acquisition, within our disciplined financial framework."

ALTERNATIVES

Quant

Quant alternative (AHL / Numeric) FUM increased by $2.3 billion during the quarter driven by net inflows, positive investment performance and positive FX movements. The net inflows of $1.3 billion included $0.3 billion into Dimension, $0.3 billion into Alpha, $0.2 billion into Diversified and $0.5 billion into other AHL styles, which included $0.4 billion into our US onshore 40-Act strategy. Positive investment performance across the majority of AHL strategies drove the $0.8 billion of investment movement, with Evolution up 7.6%, Diversified up 5.4%, Dimension up 4.2%, and Alpha up 3.9% in the quarter. Positive FX movements of $0.3 billion were a result of the US Dollar weakening against the Euro, Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. As at 31 March 2016, 71% of AHL open ended funds were at high watermark and 10% were within 5% of high watermark.

Discretionary

Discretionary alternatives (GLG) FUM decreased by $0.9 billion during the period, primarily driven by net outflows and negative investment performance. The net outflows of $0.6 billion were mainly from our North American equity and convertibles strategies. The negative investment movement of $0.3 billion in the quarter was due to negative performance across the range of strategies. FX movements were positive, increasing FUM by $0.2 billion in the quarter. Other movements related to CLO maturities of $0.2 billion in the period. As at 31 March 2016, 9% of GLG performance fee eligible FUM was at high watermark and 55% was within 5% of high watermark.

Fund of funds

Alternative fund of funds (FRM) FUM reduced by $0.1 billion during the quarter as a result of negative other movements, partially offset by positive FX movements. Net flows were flat for the quarter. Sales included $0.7 billion from recently awarded managed account mandates, and redemptions included $0.4 billion from FRM Diversified strategies. Investment movement was flat for the quarter. Positive FX movements increased FUM by $0.2 billion due to the weakening of the US Dollar in the period against the Japanese Yen and Euro. The negative other movements of $0.3 billion related to investment exposure adjustments.

LONG ONLY

Quant

Quant long only (Numeric / AHL) FUM increased by $0.4 billion during the quarter as a result of net inflows, mainly into Numeric Emerging Markets. Investment movement was broadly flat across Numeric's range of strategies. The asset weighted performance relative to a blend of applicable benchmarks (net of fees) across Numeric's product range was approximately -0.7%(1) for the quarter.

Discretionary

Discretionary long only (GLG) FUM decreased by $1.7 billion due to negative investment movement and net outflows in the period. Net outflows of $0.5 billion were mainly in relation to Japan CoreAlpha. The negative investment movement of $1.2 billion was mainly driven by Japan CoreAlpha, which was down 16.3% for the period (compared to the Topix which was down 12.0%).

GUARANTEED PRODUCTS

Guaranteed product FUM decreased by $0.1 billion in the quarter to $1.2 billion. There were no guaranteed product launches and redemptions were $0.1 billion. Positive FX movements increased FUM by $0.1 billion due to the weakening of the US Dollar against the Australian Dollar and Euro. Negative other movements of $0.1 billion related to maturities during the quarter.

(1) Numeric's asset weighted alpha YTD to 31 March 2016 is calculated using the asset weighted average of the performance relative to the benchmark for all non-restricted strategy composites available net of the highest management fees and, as applicable, performance fees that can be charged.
