Man Group plc: what insiders have been doing
Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Man Group plc belongs to the Finance & Banking sector and traces its origins to 1783. Filings by its managers are published through RNS (LSE). 10 insiders have disclosed 17 filings since 19 October 2025.
Open-market activity splits into 6 purchases totalling €237k and 4 sales totalling €4.7M; 5 insiders sit on the buying side and 3 insiders on the selling side. Netting one side against the other leaves €4.5M of net selling. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Those buying include 5 board members. At €1.8M, the sale published on 29 July 2026 by Antoine Forterre is the largest of the period (0.042% of market cap).
In the case of 1 purchase, another manager of the company was buying within the same 30 days. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. The last purchase on record was published on 26 June 2026, which is 115 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by RNS (LSE) is 3 days. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade.
With 17 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 6 filings across the 831 companies we follow on the same exchange. Our records for Man Group plc go back to 2023, with 16 purchases and 13 sales on the open market in total.
