About Numeric Investors LLC

In September 2014, Man completed the acquisition of Numeric. This provides attractive strategic, commercial and financial benefits, including the creation of a diversified, global quantitative investment platform represented by AHL and Numeric. As a result, Man's quantitative investment platform now offers clients a broad product range across alternative and long-only, trend following, technical and fundamental strategies. In addition, the acquisition further expands Man's footprint in North America, while enhancing its ability to achieve a strong risk-adjusted return on capital through an immediately accretive transaction.
