Man Group, the London-listed hedge fund firm that recently acquired rival GLG Partners, is offering its employees the change to relocate abroad, GLG co-founder Pierre Lagrange told a roundtable of journalists this morning.

Speaking at GLG's Curzon Street offices, Lagrange said that the firm had the flexibility to move staff because of the range of regional outposts that Man Group has in place, but added that "very few" have moved so far.
