Empowering Man Group with a Data Management & Dissemination Service unlocking growth & operational efficiency

How Man Group leveraged the Nexus platform to enhance asset growth, mitigate risks and achieve unparalleled cost optimisation

BACKGROUND 

Man Group is a prominent alternative investment management firm with a global presence, approximately $170 billion (March 2025) in assets under management and providing diverse investment solutions. The business encountered persistent challenges with fund data accuracy, operational inefficiencies, and limited oversight from their previous data management provider. These issues led to a loss of internal confidence, requiring additional manual controls and increasing the workload just to meet compliance standards. As a result, delays in data and document publication impacted the firm’s ability to value positions reliably. It became clear that this approach was no longer fit for a business not only wanting to put its best foot forward in the market, but also striving for sustainable growth and operational excellence. 

THE OBJECTIVES  

Man Group aimed to uphold its stellar reputation and ensure regulatory compliance while swiftly and precisely disseminating fund data and documents to the market with minimal effort.

• Data accuracy and reliability 
• Optimised data management
