Press Release
13 October 2017
TRADING STATEMENT for the quarter ended 30 September 2017
Key points
-- Funds under management (FUM) of $103.5 billion at 30
September 2017 (30 June 2017: $95.9 billion), up 28% year to
date
o Net inflows in the quarter of $2.8 billion, driven by strong
inflows into alternative risk premia and emerging market debt
strategies
o Positive investment movement of $3.3 billion in the
quarter
o Positive FX movements of $0.9 billion in the quarter,
primarily driven by the weakening of the US Dollar against the Euro
and Sterling
o Other movements of positive $0.6 billion
-- Decision to absorb research costs for the majority of Man's
business following MiFID II implementation in January 2018.
Estimated 2018 PBT impact is $10-$15 million, including the
previously highlighted administration costs
-- Intention to repurchase up to $100 million of shares; we will
continue to review further potential acquisition opportunities
-- Our ICAAP was submitted in August and the FCA have informed
us it will not be reviewed at this time. Surplus regulatory capital
at 30 September 2017 was around $375 million and is around $275
million pro-forma including the impact of the proposed share
repurchase
Luke Ellis, Chief Executive Officer of Man Group, said:
"The third quarter of 2017 was a period of strong alpha
generation for Man, with positive performance across the firm. As
expected the pace of inflows and the level of margin compression
both moderated during the quarter. Inflows remained strong overall
and were focussed on some of our newer strategies, in particular
alternative risk premia. We devote significant efforts to
developing innovative solutions, and we are pleased to see our
clients' enthusiasm for these newer offerings.
Looking forward we continue to see a decent level of interest
from clients, with our normal caveat that flows are likely to be
uneven quarter to quarter."

ALTERNATIVES
Quant
Quant alternatives FUM increased by 16% to $24.5 billion during
the quarter. Net inflows of $2.4 billion included inflows of $1.7
billion into the alternative risk premia strategy and $0.8 billion
into Institutional solutions partially offset by outflows from
alpha and diversified. All of AHL's strategies had positive
performance in the period (evolution +3.3%, dimension + 2.3%, alpha
+1.6% and diversified +1.2%)(1) which drove the investment movement
of $0.5 billion. Positive FX movements of $0.2 billion were a
result of the US Dollar weakening against the Australian Dollar,
Euro and Sterling. As at 30 September 2017, 58% of AHL performance
fee eligible open ended FUM was at high watermark and 8% was within
5% of high watermark.
Discretionary
Discretionary alternatives FUM decreased slightly during the
quarter. The net outflows of $0.4 billion were mainly from equity
long short strategies partially offset by a CLO launch which raised
$0.4 billion. Investment movement was $0.2 billion with positive
performance across the majority of GLG's range of alternative
strategies. Positive FX movements of $0.2 billion were a result of
the US Dollar weakening against the Euro. Negative other movements
of $0.3 billion primarily relate to CLO maturities. As at 30
September 2017, 51% of GLG performance fee eligible FUM was at high
watermark and 48% was within 5% of high watermark.
(1) Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
Returns shown are net of fees.
Fund of funds
Fund of fund alternatives FUM increased by $0.6 billion with
investment exposure movements partially offset by net outflows. Net
outflows were $0.4 billion and investment movement was $0.2 billion
in the quarter. Positive FX movements of $0.1 billion were a result
of the US Dollar weakening against the Australian Dollar. The
positive other movements of $0.7 billion relate to investment
exposure adjustments.
Global Private Markets
Global Private Markets increased by 10% during the quarter to
$2.2 billion due to inflows into
real estate strategies.
LONG ONLY
Quant
Quant long only FUM increased by $1.8 billion during the quarter
driven by strong investment performance partially offset by net
outflows. The net outflows of $0.3 billion were largely due to
redemptions from US large and small cap strategies. Numeric
generated strong alpha during the quarter which, combined with
positive market moves, resulted in investment movement of $2.0
billion. The asset weighted outperformance relative to a blend of
applicable benchmarks (net of fees) across Numeric's product range
is now 2.6%(2) year to date.
Discretionary
Discretionary long only FUM increased by 11% to $19.7 billion
during the quarter. Net inflows of $1.3 billion included $0.6
billion into emerging market debt strategies, $0.5 billion into
european equities strategy and $0.3 billion into Japan core alpha.
Investment movement of $0.4 billion in the quarter was driven by
Japan core alpha (+3.9%)(1) , and strong performance in european
equity strategies, in particular the Continental European strategy
(+5.2%)(1) . Positive FX movements of $0.3 billion were a result of
the US Dollar weakening against the Euro and Sterling.
GUARANTEED PRODUCTS
Guaranteed product FUM decreased to $0.2 billion during the
quarter due to a maturity.
(1) Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
Returns shown are net of fees.
(2) Numeric's asset weighted alpha is calculated using the asset
weighted average of the performance relative to the benchmark for
all strategy composites available net of the highest rate of
management fees charged and, as applicable, performance fees that
can be charged.
