2:27 pm - Here are some reasons for investing in Man Fund Hedge Fund.

Dear Investors,

This is an interesting article taken from Bloomberg News today. It reports that Man Group continues to perform both for its investors as well as shareholders.
The OM IP Eclipse 3 closes on 4 April. Any questions or if you wish to sign up I will be in the office Saturday morning for the Phillip Currency seminar
11 AM to 12 30. Otherwise just give me or Martin a call. In trading he or she who hesitates will miss the opportunity

The reason Man assets continue to grow is because smart, sophisticated money is moving into Man Hedge Funds. Smart money wishes to profit from world stock market and currency volatility and the instability of the Middle East- witness the 6 USD jump in crude oil yesterday as terrorists blew up a pipeline in Basra Iraq which exports 80 % of Iraq oil. By the way Man funds are long the crude oil futures market. If the US pulls out of Iraq when Bush and his chronies are kicked out in November
expect the Iraq terrorists to create havok. Even Iran may step in to take control. There could be mayhem in the fight for control of the Basra Oil. If you hold Man funds and they hold crude oil futures contract you have the chance to make good returns when stock markets are collapsing.

You will sleep better if you hold some of your wealth in Man

By Tom Cahill March 27 (Bloomberg) -- Man Group Plc, the world's largestpublicly traded hedge fund manager, said annual earnings willexceed analysts' estimates, helped by rising performance fees. Profit before tax in the year ending March 31 will surpass$1.82 billion, the average estimate of 13 analysts surveyed bythe company, London-based Man Group said today in a statement.Man earned $1.3 billion in the previous 12 months. Man Group's flagship $3 billion AHL Diversified Plc fundrose 23 percent from a year ago, beating the 10 percent gain forthe Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Index and boosting fees tied toperformance. Man uses the AHL trading system to manage at least$21 billion in total. Peter Clarke, who took over in April aschief executive officer, said the company is ``extremely wellplaced'' for further growth. ``They've had spectacularly great performance with AHL,''said Jason Streets, head of research at Evolution Group Plc inLondon, who has a ``buy'' recommendation on the shares. ``Theinteresting thing is there's nothing about performanceelsewhere.'' Man Group rose 7 pence, or 1.3 percent, to 552.5 pence by8:30 a.m. in London trading. The stock has declined 2.7 percentthis year, the fourth-best performance in the 60-member BloombergEurope Banks and Financial Services Index.

Man said investors added $15.8 billion to its funds in theyear, while redeeming $10.6 billion. Total assets undermanagement rose 4.6 percent to a record $75 billion, comparedwith $71.7 billion at the end of 2007.

Man saidperformance fees will be ``up strongly over last year and aboveexpectations,'' without providing a specific figure. Streets at Evolution said the management fees and assetsunder management were ``slightly below'' his estimates. He hadprojected profit before tax of $2.06 billion. Hedge funds are mostly private pools of capital whosemanagers participate substantially in the profits from theirspeculation on whether the price of assets will rise or fall.They typically seek clients with at least $1 million to invest. Man, which started as a sugar trader in 1783, raised $2.9billion last year in the initial public offering of its MF GlobalLtd. brokerage unit.

7:55 pm - US stocks heading for lower open

NEW YORK (AP) - U.S. stocks were poised to open lower Wednesday asinvestors grew more cautious about the banking system and prepared to takeprofits following Tuesday's pop on Wall Street. On Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average shot up 420 points after theFederal Reserve cut its key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentagepoint. Investors were relieved as well to see two investment banks -- LehmanBrothers Holdings Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. -- report better-than-expectedquarterly profits. But Morgan Stanley's earnings are on tap Wednesday, and the rest of WallStreet is going to want to see if the investment bank is relatively healthy likeLehman or Goldman, or at risk of failure like the recently bought out BearStearns Cos. A pullback was to be expected given the magnitude of Tuesday's gain andinvestors' concerns about the many unknowns that remain not only about thefinancial sector, but the overall economy as well. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 65, or 0.52 percent, to 12,340.Standard & Poor's 500 index futures fell 8.30, or 0.62 percent, to 1,325.70,while Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 10.0, 0.56 percent, to 1,761.0. Bond prices rose. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, whichmove opposite its price, fell to 3.40 percent from 3.50 percent late Tuesday.The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell. Light, sweet crude fell 87 cents to $108.55 per barrel in premarketelectronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Late Tuesday, Visa Inc. launched the largest initial public offering in U.S.history, selling 406 million shares at $44 each to raise $17.9 billion. Theworld's largest credit card processor -- unlike Discover Financial Services,which releases earnings on Wednesday, and American Express Co. -- is not alender, and many investors are betting that it will easily survive the falteringU.S. economy and credit climate. The Fed has slashed key rates by more than half since last summer, when themortgage crisis claimed its grip on the global credit markets. But the housingand lending industries are still hurting. The government is expected on Wednesday to loosen the capital restraints onmortgage-finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so they can play largerroles in the struggling housing market. The Office of Federal Housing EnterpriseOversight, which oversees the government-sponsored companies, was announcing theplan Wednesday, people familiar with the matter said Tuesday. Meanwhile, after JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s announcement Sunday that it wasbuying out the troubled investment bank Bear Stearns Cos., French bank BNPParibas SA said Wednesday it is no longer interested in making a takeover bidfor rival, Societe Generale. Societe Generale has been hurting after a roguefutures trader logged $7 billion in losses. Stock markets overseas were mixed after Wall Street's jump on Tuesday.Japan's Nikkei stock average increased 2.48 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Sengindex rose 2.26 percent. In midday trading, Britain's FTSE 100 slipped 0.98percent, Germany's DAX index lost 0.71 percent, and France's CAC-40 declined0.58 percent. Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
