Dissent against directors' pay at Man Group rises sharply

LONDON, May 8 (Reuters) - More than two-fifths of shareholders have voted against Man Group (LSE: EMG.L - news) 's directors' remuneration policy at the annual general meeting of the world's biggest listed hedge fund firm.

Some 43 percent of votes were cast against the policy, with a further 35 percent of the vote rejecting the remuneration report of the London-listed firm, the company said in a statement on Friday.

Just 3.5 percent of votes were cast against these policies during last year's meeting. (Reporting by Nishant Kumar, editing by Sinead Cruise)
