The Team: Systematic Portfolio Analytics
Systematic Portfolio Analytics has been a core function within Man AHL for the past four years and is now expanding its mandate to

proven, established function with a strong track record inside AHL, now scaling up to deliver across one of the largest systematic
platforms in the world.
Our mandate is to deliver quantifiable, transparent, and actionable insights across the entire systematic estate — from individual
signals all the way through to fund-level outcomes. We are an integral part of the decision-making process, helping determine
where research effort and risk capital should be allocated, and our work is a fundamental node in the feedback loop between
research, portfolio management, and the business.
Joining now means joining at a genuinely exciting inflection point: a battle-tested team, a proven playbook, and a step-change in
scope — with the opportunity to help shape how Portfolio Analytics is built out across Numeric and the combined platform.
