The Man Group plc can trace its origins back to 1783 when James Man first established a sugar broking business in London. The Group operated as a traditional partnership for over two hundred years and in 1973 employed only 70 people, engaged mainly in the agricultural markets of sugar, coffee and cocoa.
Later, the Group established two financial divisions, known as Man Investment Products and Man Financial, offering services in asset management and brokerage respectively.

In 1994 the Group floated on the London Stock Exchange (Stock Code: EMG). In 2000, the Group old its original agricultural products business so that today it is a focused financial services group, comprising a specialist fund manager and an international broker employing around 1600 staff in 11 countries around the world.

Man Financial, the Group's Brokerage division, is one of the world's major futures and options brokers and commands a global financial markets presence with offices in New York, Chicago, Kansas City, London, Paris, Singapore Taiwan, Sydney and Brisbane. Today the division provides agency broking and other related services to a worldwide client base, which ranges from banks, 'CTAs', 'Hedge Funds' and major industrial groups to individual private clients.
