Director dealings: Man Group's Anne Wade makes share purchase

Man Group revealed on Monday that non-executive director Anne Wade had acquired 15,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed investment manager.

Wade, who joined Man Group in April 2020, purchased the shares on Friday at an average price of 210.73p each, for a total value of £31,610.

Earlier in December, Man Group surged after it announced the start of a new share buyback programme of up to $125.0m. Man said the programme was in line with its policy to distribute capital to shareholders "while maintaining a prudent balance sheet after taking into account required capital and potential strategic opportunities".

As of 1555 GMT, Man Group shares were up 1.12% at 216.50p.
