Hedge fund Man Group is set to take legal action over its exposure to the high-profile $50bn (£33.9bn) Madoff fraud case.

The British-based fund is considering a number of options in a bid to reduce its exposure with legal action being discussed. Man Group is exposed to the Madoff case through its institutional fund of funds business, RMF, which had around $360m (£246m) in funds directly or indirectly sub-advised by Madoff.
