(+44) 203 430 8548 Man is most attractive when AHL, GLG and 1783 are close to HWM. This is especially true given the

gregory.simpson@uk.bnpparibas.com volatility of the funds (like a call option is worth more at strike and when the underlying is volatile).

multiple.

Strength in Credit flows and upside elsewhere

Based on our tracking of funds, we expect a bumper Q2 in discretionary long only with $3bn net

flows.
