Man Group says enters 2026 in strong position as managed assets up

(Alliance News) - Man Group PLC on Thursday announced a jump in assets under management as it cited "strength" in its ability to position itself at the forefront of technology, in particular artificial intelligence.

The London-based investment management firm said assets under management rose 35% to USD227.6 billion as at December 31 from USD168.6 billion a year prior.

Statutory profit fell 41% to USD175 million in 2025 from USD298 million in 2024.

Core net revenue edged down 4.2% to USD1.40 billion from USD1.46 billion.

The final dividend was 11.5 US cents, bringing the total to an unchanged 17.2c.

Chief Executive Officer Robyn Grew said: "While markets were often testing, the breadth of our diversified platform, the depth of our client relationships and the quality of our people enabled us to navigate these challenges with resilience and emerge stronger. We ended the year with positive momentum, delivering good performance across a range of key strategies including liquid credit, quant equity and our multi-strat, and gained market share for the sixth consecutive year.

She added: "We enter 2026 from a position of strength - strength in our ability to grow and diversify, to attract and develop exceptional talent, and to position ourselves at the forefront of technology, particularly AI, driving innovation and delivering for our clients and shareholders."

Man shares fell 3.4% to 260.26 pence each on Thursday morning in London.
