The Man Group interview funnel
1. Online Assessment (5 parts)
5 timed parts · numerical, sequences, logic, coding, probability (candidate-reported, Sep 2026)Candidates report five parts. 1. Numerical reasoning: Quick arithmetic on data tables (for example, inferring a missing value from relationships that hold across years). 2. Number patterns: 50 questions in 10 minutes. 3. Logical reasoning, bank-style: Whether one statement supports another or is irrelevant to it, and whether an action correctly follows a workplace rule and whether its result was expected. 4. Coding: An array-based task. 5. Probability: About 10 to 12 questions in roughly 12 minutes. One candidate summed it up as Optiver-style speed tests plus an investment bank aptitude test. The platform may be Correlation One (a logo on screen suggests it), unconfirmed. Practise with number sequences, Optiver Number Logic, probability questions and coding questions.
2. Technical Interview
Live · coding + statistics + math, no resume questions (candidate-reported)Candidates report a three-part technical interview, no resume questions. Man Group's careers page also lists pre-recorded video or telephone interviews (via Sonru) for shortlists.
A September 2026 report (medium-confidence attribution): coding the fewest fountains to water a line, each spraying a given distance left and right (maybe the OA's coding part). Statistics: multicollinearity (what it breaks, fixes, regularization trade-offs, how PCA works). Math: feasible range of a common pairwise correlation among n assets. See regression questions and linear algebra questions.
3. Final Interviews / Assessment Day
Face-to-face or virtual, depending on role (per Man Group)Man Group's careers page says final-stage candidates meet business representatives in face-to-face interviews or assessment days, in office or virtually by role. We do not yet hold a verified 2027 report. Expect the technical interview's mix plus systematic-investing motivation; below: every bank problem candidates tied to Man Group.
