The chief executive of Man Group wants to do more deals in the US, with most of the 120 potential targets considered in 2015 by the $75 billion-plus hedge fund based across the pond.

Man Group has 25% of its assets in the US. This figure has risen significantly since 2012, largely thanks to the acquisitions of the Boston-based quantitative equity manager Numeric and the Connecticut-based leveraged loan manager Silvermine Capital Management.
