Listed hedge fund Man Group (EMG.L) has announced it will acquire all residual exposure to Lehman Brothers estates from funds managed by subsidiary GLG Partners.

The hedge fund will acquire the exposure at current net asset value and are said to relate to GLG's European Long Short and North American Opportunity strategies.

The transaction is estimated to cost $355 million and will see Man Group bear the risk of any change in net asset value. The GLG funds may take part in some of the upside.

Peter Clarke, chief executive of Man, said, 'These transactions will remove the remaining uncertainty from funds with residual claims against the Lehman estates, to the benefit of both existing and new investors.

'In this way, Man can use its resources productively to provide clarity for fund investors and the opportunity to grow assets in the affected funds more quickly.'
