The group said the rebranding is part of a move to harmonise the UK fund range with the global brand.

Man GLG, the fund manager owned by London-listed alternative investment business Man Group, is rebranding its UK-domiciled fund range.

Man Group took on the range when it acquired GLG five years ago. The 12 funds, which include the GLG Japan CoreAlpha, GLG UK Income and GLG Undervalued Assets funds, will now hold the "Man GLG" prefix.

The company’s Dublin-domiciled fund range will also take the Man GLG name from September, subject to regulatory approval.

“Transitioning the funds to the Man GLG brand is a natural progression for the business and will bring our highly successful UK and Dublin ranges into line with the naming convention applied to Man Group’s other investment managers,” said Man Group's head of UK retail, Richard Phillips.

Man Group's other investment managers are Man AHL, Man FRM and Man Numeric, which between them offer a range of hedge fund and long only products.

“Among other advantages, the rebrand will ensure complete consistency across the group and allow us to promote the funds in a way that best reflects the ownership of the business,” said Phillips.
