Core earnings per share increased by 139% from a solid outcome in 2020, driven by significant management fee growth, material performance fees, and the operating leverage in our business facilitated by our technology capabilities.
“These results demonstrate the potential of the firm we have built and its ability to deliver growth. Our diversified range of products and longstanding client relationships, combined with our diverse talent pool and cutting-edge technology, define Man Group, underpin our strategy and give me great confidence in our ability to continue to deliver value for our clients and shareholders.”
