Man Group shares jump 6% as UBS upgrades rating on strong rebound in algorithmic funds.

Shares of Man Group PLC rose 6% after UBS upgraded the hedge fund manager to 'buy' and raised its price target, citing a strong rebound in its algorithm-driven AHL funds. These funds have gained 7% since early August, with key strategies surpassing performance fee thresholds, boosting UBS's earnings forecasts by nearly 30% for 2027 and 2028. Man Group is expected to continue using performance fees for share buybacks, supporting the stock. However, UBS warns that fund returns are volatile and difficult to predict, with the next update likely in early October.
