By Reuters News

- Hedge fund Man Group EMG.L expanded its partnership with Japan's Meiji Yasuda on Monday, with the Japanese insurer committing 200 billion yen ($1.28 billion) to Man Group's private-credit focussed investment strategies and weigh buying a 5% equity stake in the alternative asset manager.

Here are some details:

  • The expanded partnership builds on a partnership announced in February 2025 as Man Group aims to grow its private credit platform and serve large insurance clients globally

  • Meiji Yasuda's investment in Man Group's investment strategies will span over three years, with particular focus on private credit

  • The potential 5% equity stake would be acquired through open-market purchases with no new shares issued by Man Group

  • The two firms will co-develop products for the Japanese market, with Man Group becoming a preferred asset management partner

  • Any acquisition of Man Group's shares by Meiji Yasuda would be subject to a three-year lock-up period, a 19.99% ownership cap and orderly market arrangements for future disposals
