Introduction
Since 1997, Man Investments Australia has launched 44 funds and has over A$6 billion† under management. A key component of these funds is the AHL Diversified Program.
Man AHL Diversified (AUD) aims to generate medium term capital growth* by identifying and taking advantage of upward and downward price trends.
It has shown a low correlation with traditional investments, enabling investors to diversify a traditional investment portfolio of stocks, property and bonds.
Unlike the Man OM-IP funds, this fund does not have a capital guarantee.
As at 31 December 2011, the Company has approximately A$265 million under management.
The past performance of Man AHL Diversified plc, Man Investments' longest running USD weekly dealing AHL fund, is compared to Australian, Asian and global stock market indices in the chart below. It shows that Man AHL Diversified plc continued to record positive medium term growth despite the downturn in global and Asian stock markets and flat or negative performance of the Australian stock market in the periods highlighted^.
The chart also shows that Man AHL Diversified plc generated returns regardless of the direction of these markets and provided investors with a significant element of diversification within a traditional investment portfolio. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
An investment in Shares is subject to the key risks described in Section 8 of the Prospectus. Investors should carefully read the Prospectus and talk to their licensed financial advisor before making an investment decision.

Note The chart is expressed in log scale to uniformly illustrate percentage changes each month. It shows the actual trading results of Man AHL Diversified plc. It is not designed to predict or forecast the future performance of the AHL Diversified Program or Man AHL Diversified (AUD). The fees and costs that will apply to an investment in the Company will be in accordance with those set out in Section 9 of the Prospectus and are different from the fees and costs payable by Man AHL Diversified plc. The final weekly valuation is used to calculate the monthly return of Man AHL Diversified plc. As there was no weekly valuation in March 1996, the first monthly return shown is for April 1996. Performance figures are calculated net of all fees as at 31 December 2011. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
† Funds under management as at 30 September 2011.
* The aim to generate medium term capital growth is based on the past performance of the AHL Diversified Program (see Section 3 of the Prospectus). Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
