Man Group reported that assets under management reached an all-time high in the first half, supported by strong inflows into long-only strategies and performance gains. The update points to fresh client demand as well as market appreciation helping lift the firm’s asset base. The reference to active management’s “obituary” being delayed frames the result as another sign that actively managed investment strategies continue to attract capital despite years of debate over the rise of passive products.
