The 12-strong offering will now be known as “Man GLG” rather than just “GLG” in order to replicate the style of the company’s owner, London-listed alternative investment business Man Group.
Rchard Phillips, head of UK retail at Man Group, said: “Transitioning the funds to the Man GLG brand is a natural progression of the business and will bring our highly successful UK and Dublin ranges into line with the naming convention applied to Man Group’s other investment managers.
“Among other advantages, the rebrand will ensure complete consistency across the group and allow us to promote the funds in a way that best reflects the ownership of the business.
The range includes the GLG Japan CoreAlpha, GLG UK Income, and GLG Undervalued Assets funds.
As an example of the rebrand, the GLG Japan CoreAlpha fund will now be called the Man GLG Japan CoreAlpha.
The company’s Dublin-domiciled fund range will adopt the Man GLG prefix in September, subject to regulatory approval.
