Man Numeric, Man Group’s quantitative equity investment manager, has launched the Dublin-domiciled Man Numeric European Equity fund, its fifth UCITS-compliant vehicle for the European market.

The Man Numeric European Equity fund provides investors with access to Man Numeric’s European Core strategy, which launched in 2002. The investment strategy aims to outperform the MSCI Europe Index and provide consistent returns over time through quantitative, bottom-up stock-selection from a broad stock universe of about1,300 names, via a fundamental, systematically implemented, investment process.
 
Overseen by portfolio managers Greg Bunimovich, Ori Ben-Akiva and Mickael Nouvellon, the strategy utilises a combination of proprietary Valuation and Information Flow models to select stocks. The disciplined portfolio construction process is designed to capture alpha while managing sector, country and stock-specific risks.
 
Shanta Puchtler (pictured), President and CEO of Man Numeric, says: “The launch of the Man Numeric European Equity fund further expands our range of alpha-generating strategies available to European investors. The fund provides investors with access to our European Core strategy, one of Man Numeric’s longest running strategies. As Man Numeric continues to grow and develop as part of Man Group, the launch of UCITS-compliant vehicles is an important step in our increasingly global and diversified offering for clients.”
