It is a part of Man Group plc, the largest provider of alternative investments in the world. Man Group, based in London, was founded in 1783 with approximately US$40 billion in funds under management (as at 31 March 2010) and is a member of the FTSE 100 index.
Man's funds seek to provide investors with medium to long-term performance regardless of rising or falling markets.
AHL, part of Man Group plc, is a leading investment manager of managed futures and is one of Man Investment's core managers. AHL has a 22 year track record and is responsible for managing the AHL Diversified Program, which has a trading history of 19 years.
Man Investments Australia offers investors alternative investment funds through two broad types of funds - close-ended, capital guaranteed Man OM-IP funds and open-ended Man funds.
Man OMIP funds focus on providing performance in both rising and falling markets, security of a capital guarantee at maturity and diversification from traditional asset classes. The investment strategy of each Man OMIP fund is to invest in AHL and in some cases, in a complementary portfolio of alternative investments managed by Man's Multi-Manager Business.
Man funds also offer access to AHL through an open-ended investment structure to provide investors with the flexibility to make regular investments and withdrawals.
