Dow Jones -Man Group PLC Chief Executive Officer Peter Clarke Thursday said the hedge-fund giant could be selling products to mainland China investors within a few years if lobbying efforts with authorities pay off.
Speaking at the company’s annual general meeting, Clarke said Man Group is currently looking to sign on state-run institutions as clients–a process he is directly involved in–but hopes to eventually get authorization to sell hedge-fund products to private investors, building on its success in other parts of Asia such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
