10 Largest Hedge Funds in The World And Their Favorite Stock Picks

3. Man Group (AUM: $45 billion) is the third largest hedge fund globally with $80.7 billion total assets under management. However, some of its AUM is in long-only funds and its AUM in alternative investments total about $45 billion. The fund has been gradually expanding with recent acquisitions. According to their site these are main funds: “Man AHL is a diversified quantitative investment manager that has been a pioneer in the application of systematic trading since 1987”, “Man Numeric, established in 1989 and acquired by Man Group in 2014, is a Boston-based, quantitative equity manager invested in almost every equity market in the world”, “Man GLG, founded in 1995 and acquired by Man Group in 2010, is a discretionary fund manager that is active across alternative and long-only strategies, equity and credit”, and “Man FRM, founded in 1991 and acquired by Man Group in 2012, is a hedge fund investment specialist which draws on its technological capabilities in seeking to deliver enhanced investment solutions for clients.”

In a publication last month, the fund said that they are hopeful that 2017 should be a better year than the current one, driven by “normal levels of bond yields and increased breadth of market drivers”.
