Robyn Grew, the newly appointed chief executive officer of the world’s largest publicly listed hedge fund, has a guiding mantra to help sustain the firm’s industry-defying growth: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Man Group Plc “has a cracking core business and my number one job, apart from anything, is not to break that because that is value and it’s real and it will continue to grow,” Grew said on Barry Ritholtz’s Masters in Business podcast. It was her first interview since the announcement of her promotion last week.
