Executive Summary
Man Group's AI token consumption has surged 86x since January, driven by the adoption of 'agentic workflows' that automate complex tasks across both technical and non-technical departments.
The firm is actively trading client assets using 15-20 investment models that were entirely ideated and constructed by AI systems, demonstrating a shift from AI as a research assistant to an automated idea generator.
For quantitative research, Man Group finds more value in high-quality, well-structured proprietary data than in simply using the latest frontier models or extensive fine-tuning.
Organizational strategy involves federating AI budgets to business units and prioritizing employee education on cost-effective model usage over building automated model routers.
