Academic Advisory Board

The Academic Advisory Board provides a forum for debate, where leading financial academics and representatives from across Man Group's investment engines meet to discuss a given topic.

 

The Academic Advisory Board aims to provide the investment engines with a fresh perspective on key issues, and to challenge and develop Man Group's investment processes. The concept was started by Man AHL in 2014, and was initially known as the Man AHL Academic Advisory Board. Since then, the board has expanded to include colleagues from across all of Man Group's investment engines. The board meets at least once a year.
