Man Group plc
Man Group plc Charitable Trust
The Trust was established in London in 1978 to formalise the Group's charitable activities and to establish an appropriate governance structure. Under the Trust Deed, the Chairman of the Group Board is also Chairman of the Trustees, while remaining Trustees are drawn from Group and business functions.
The Trustees discuss proposals, with a majority needed to approve specific donations; consensus is generally achieved. The Group Board has discretion to make ad hoc donations for disaster relief, paid either through the Trust (with Trustees' approval) or through the Group, depending on the circumstances.
The Trust has independent status and is governed by a Board of Trustees drawn from a cross section of Man Group. The Board of Directors is represented by the Chairman. Group is represented by two Trustees who are employees, while Man Financial and Man Investments have two employee Trustees each. The Trust also has a Secretary, employed by Man Group.
In addition to supporting SLF, Man Group supports the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance, The Man Booker Prize for Fiction, The Man Booker International Prize, Saracens rugby team and The Man Asian Literary Prize.
