Following Man Group Plc's (LSE: EMG) $1.6 billion purchase of GLG Partners (NYSE: GLG) in May, Man Group's chief executive Peter Clarke stated that the firm does not foresee any similarly sized acquisitions in its future. According to Reuters, the firm may now consider some smaller acquisitions of Asia Pacific hedge funds.

Man Group aims to achieve at least a 10 percent return on capital from the GLG Partners buy-out within three years, stating that the mergers’ ultimate success is contingent on the amount of asset under management Man can raise through the GLG offerings.
