Man Group, the alternative investment manager, grew total assets under management to $270.9 billion in the third quarter, up from $253.6 billion three months earlier.
The $17.3 billion quarterly increase was driven by $10.1 billion of net inflows and $5.9 billion of investment gains in the three months to 30 September.
The figure also marks a rise of around $57 billion, or 26%, on the $213.9 billion Man Group managed a year ago.
Long-only equity was the standout for flows, attracting $5.8 billion of net new money to take assets in the category to $113.2 billion from $104.2 billion.
Long-only credit drew $2.4 billion of net inflows, lifting assets to $40.6 billion.
Liquid alternatives, which include Man's trend-following and systematic hedge fund strategies, grew to $99.7 billion from $92.9 billion.
Private market assets edged slightly lower to $17.4 billion from $17.6 billion at the end of June.
