March 2022 with net inflows over $3 billion record Assets under Management and they’ve
also paid a bi-annual dividend for a number of years now.

DirectorsTalk caught up with Fund Manager Gervais Williams for his thoughts on the
company.

> “What’s interesting about this company is that it adds value through stock selection.
> As you know, over recent years, investors have been able to make good money by
> just buying exchange traded funds (ETFs), index products and such like which as
> the stock markets performed, they’ve all generated very good returns.
> With markets becoming much more unsettled, the ability to add value when stock
> markets aren’t going up much or indeed have been declining is becoming more important.
> Man Group is an example of a company which is well positioned, they’ve seen a 
> strong rise in their performance related fees, they generate cash and they’ve 
> got a good momentum of new clients coming in. So, this is a company where, despite
> the fact that valuations have come down – being a stock market business some of
> its assets have fallen – ultimately, it’s growing at a faster rate and that’s 
> quite exciting. Again, income and income growth are just the kind of characteristics,
> along with all of the mix of other industries we have in the portfolio, which 
> adds value over the longer term and has actually generated some very good returns
> for the clients to date.”
