December 2014: $72.9 billion)

NewSmith and BAML fund of funds

Positive investment performance across all our managers added $4.3 billion to FUM in the quarter

o Good performance across AHL's range of strategies led to $1.3 billion of positive investment movement in quant alternative strategies in the period

o Asset weighted outperformance of 137 basis points (before fees) across Numeric's strategies and performance overall added $0.6 billion to FUM in the quarter

o Positive performance across GLG's range of alternative strategies added $0.5 billion to FUM in the period

o The majority of GLG's long only strategies had positive investment performance in the quarter, with the main contributor to the positive investment movement of

$1.6 billion being the Japan CoreAlpha strategy

o FRM investment performance added $0.2 billion to FUM

Net outflows in the quarter of $1.3 billion, comprising sales of $4.2 billion and redemptions of $5.5 billion

o Net inflows into quant alternatives ($0.7 billion) and quant long only ($0.3 billion), offset by;

o Net outflows from discretionary long only ($0.9 billion), discretionary alternatives ($0.6 billion), fund of fund alternatives ($0.6 billion) and guaranteed products ($0.2 billion)

FX movements of negative $2.0 billion in the quarter, driven by the strengthening of the

US dollar against the Euro (around 11%) and GBP (around 5%)

Acquisition of Silvermine completed on 24 January 2015 adding $3.8 billion to FUM

Other positive movements of $0.4 billion driven by guaranteed product re-gears of $0.2 billion, $0.2 billion of positive rebalancing at AHL and an additional $0.2 billion from seeding activity; partially offset by product maturities and other movements of negative

$0.2 billion

Manny Roman, Chief Executive Officer of Man, said:

"We had a good start to the year from a performance perspective which, together with the latest acquisitions, contributed to an overall 7% increase in FUM over the quarter. AHL's traditional momentum strategies had a strong first quarter and continue to perform well on a relative basis, returns have improved across GLG's range of strategies and Numeric's strategies continue to outperform their respective benchmarks. We are pleased to have completed the Silvermine, NewSmith and BAML fund of funds acquisitions which help to broaden our product offering and US footprint.
Our flows in Q1 reflect a natural lag between better investment performance and higher sales. As we have commented previously, our business is now more institutional in nature, with larger individual mandates causing greater variation in flows on a quarterly basis.
We retain a degree of caution on the outlook for first half flows. As ever, the outlook for the rest of the year will likely depend on performance. Whilst we have a reasonable pipeline of sales, in particular in our quant businesses, recent market volatility reminds us of the uncertain macro environment in which we operate and its potential impact on demand for our products."

FIRST QUARTER FUM COMMENTARY ALTERNATIVES

Funds under management in alternative strategies increased by $4.2 billion to $42.4 billion during the period.

Quant Alternatives (AHL / Numeric)

Quant alternatives FUM increased by 18% to $15.2 billion in the quarter driven by positive investment performance of $1.3 billion and net inflows of $0.7 billion.
Net inflows of $0.7 billion comprised $0.5 billion into Dimension and $0.1 billion into
Evolution from individual clients, and $0.1 billion into the recently launched UCITS strategies from a range of clients.
Positive investment performance of $1.3 billion was driven by AHL's momentum trading strategies. Evolution was up 9.4% in the quarter, Diversified and Alpha were up 8.3% and
6.3% respectively whilst Dimension was up 2.7%.
Negative performance in AHL's momentum trading strategies in April resulted in Diversified, Alpha and Evolution being up 3.7%, 3.8% and 6.4% respectively for the year to 30 April
2015. Dimension had positive performance in the month and was up 3.3% for the year to 30
April 2015. As at 30 April 2015 67% of AHL's performance fee eligible FUM was at peak, whilst 9% was within 5% of peak.
Negative FX movements of $0.2 billion were due to the strengthening of the USD against the EUR. Other movements of positive $0.5 billion comprised investment exposure adjustments of $0.3 billion and internal seeding of $0.2 billion.

Discretionary Alternatives (GLG)

The increase in discretionary alternative FUM of 19% to $17.2 billion was primarily due to the acquisition of Silvermine Capital Management, which completed in January adding $3.8 billion to FUM.
There were net outflows of $0.6 billion in the quarter, comprising $0.3 billion from equity long short strategies, $0.2 billion from global macro strategies (which were closed during the period) and $0.1 billion from one client redeeming out of the Market Neutral strategy.
Investment performance added $0.5 billion to FUM, primarily due to the European long short strategy being up 5.1% in the quarter. As at 31 March 2015 27% of GLG's performance fee eligible FUM was at peak, whilst 53% was within 5% of peak.
FX movements reduced FUM in this category by $0.8 billion in the quarter, $0.7 billion of which related to the USD strengthening against the EUR. Other negative movements of $0.2 billion were due to Pemba and Silvermine maturities.

Alternatives Fund of Fund (FRM)

Alternative fund of fund FUM decreased by 7% to $10.0 billion during the quarter, driven by net outflows of $0.6 billion and negative FX movements of $0.3 billion.
Net outflows were predominantly due to two large clients either fully or partially redeeming, totalling $0.3 billion and $0.1 billion of redemptions from legacy multi-manager funds.
The majority of the $0.3 billion of negative FX movements was due to the USD strengthening against the EUR. Other movements were negligible.

LONG ONLY

Long only FUM increased by $1.0 billion to $33.7 billion as at 31 March 2015.

Quant long only (AHL / Numeric)

Quant long only FUM increased by 5% to $17.6 billion, which was driven by positive investment performance of $0.6 billion and net inflows of $0.3 billion.
The flows in the quarter included net inflows into Numeric strategies of $0.3 billion.
Positive performance of $0.6 billion was due to positive absolute performance and overall outperformance across the majority of Numeric's range of strategies, as can be seen on page 8. Global Core was up 3.6% (benchmark outperformance of 1.3%), European Core was up 17.2% (benchmark outperformance of 0.6%) and Emerging Markets Core was up
3.4% (benchmark outperformance of 1.2%). FX movements in this category were negligible in the quarter.

Discretionary Long Only (GLG)

Discretionary long only funds increased by $0.1 billion in the quarter to $16.1 billion. Positive investment performance of $1.6 billion was partially offset by net outflows of $0.9 billion and a negative FX impact of $0.6 billion.
$0.8 billion of the $0.9 billion outflow in the period was from Japan CoreAlpha as a number of clients reviewed their asset allocations after the year end. $0.4 billion was from UCITS funds and $0.4 billion from two segregated individual client accounts.
There was positive investment movement during the quarter of $1.6 billion, with Japan CoreAlpha up 12.2%, outperforming the Topix by 1.7% and contributing $1.4 billion of the total investment movement. The Global Equity strategy and Undervalued Asset strategy also had strong performance in the quarter, up 5.7% and 6.4% respectively.
FUM decreased by $0.6 billion due to adverse FX movements, $0.4 billion of which was due to the USD strengthening against GBP which accounts for 52% of the funds in this category.

GUARANTEED

Guaranteed product FUM remained flat at $2.0 billion. In line with previous periods there were no sales in the quarter and redemptions totalled $0.2 billion.
Guaranteed product re-gears totalled $0.2 billion during the period mainly due to positive
AHL performance in the rebalance period. 1 April and 1 May re-gears were negligible.

The representative product was changed at the end of September 2012 due to the provisioning of fund liquidation costs in October 2012 for AHL Alpha plc, which resulted in tracking error compared with other Alpha Programme funds. Both funds are valued weekly; however, for comparative purposes, statistics have been calculated using the best quality price that is available at each calendar month end, using estimates where a final price is unavailable. Where a price, either estimate or final is unavailable on a calendar month end, the price on the closest date prior to the calendar month end has been used. Both of the track records have been adjusted to reflect the fee structure of AHL Alpha (Cayman) Limited - USD Shares. From 30 September 2013, the actual performance of AHL Alpha (Cayman) Limited - USD Shares is displayed.
