About Man

Growth driven by innovation

Welcome to the Man Graduate Careers website – a brief insight into the complex working world of a modern-day alternative investments leader.

Put simply, we use our market expertise to create wealth – for our investors, for the business, and to drive our own future growth. In the past twenty years, we’ve become one of the world’s largest listed alternative investments company, and we are assured of potential for further growth.

Our success can partly be attributed to talented individuals working together, combining specialist knowledge with commercial acumen. Everyone can influence our performance – and, as such, are recognised and rewarded for their contribution.

The result sees growth driven by innovation – in the last year alone, we’ve introduced 32 new private investor products, including risk-averse protected investments designed to withstand even the toughest market conditions.

We pool talents from backgrounds as diverse as the hotel business, software houses, architect partnerships, voluntary services overseas, government ministries and even the Royal household. Together, we form a diverse workforce - people of some 64 nationalities, between them speaking over 45 different languages.

Our history

The Man story of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit dates back over 225 years. In that time, we have evolved into a leader in global financial services. In the last ten years, we have become one of the world’s largest providers of hedge funds and alternative investment solutions. Our products have enabled investors to prosper even in turbulent and risky climates.

With offices in 14 countries and world-class investment managers in the UK, Switzerland and America, we are a truly global business. A broad-based investment house that successfully balances the expectations of investors, employees and shareholders, and a pioneering force in a sector that has itself expanded beyond expectation in the last twenty-five years.

Most importantly, our future as a market leader and innovator looks set to be a challenging one, as we diversify into new areas of opportunity. We have, for example, already become a major player in environmental finance, recognising that climate change is one of the main themes that will shape the twenty-first century, in business, politics and numbers.
