Gladius Global Advisors Announces Manny Abin as CEO, Bringing Asset Management Expertise and Innovation to the Table
New York, New York, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Manny Abin, CEO of Gladius Global Advisors
Gladius Global Advisors, a start-up marketer of alternative investment funds based in New York City, announces Manny Abin as its CEO. A diversified global asset management company founded in June 2024, Gladius quickly displayed its ability to excel in alternative capital markets through strategic partnerships with specialty managers. With Abin, who previously served as head of global institutional sales for alternative investment management at a renowned investment advisory and market research firm, on board, the company promises to continue delivering consistent, risk-controlled results while sharing exciting hopes for an expansion.
Its multi-boutique model offers a unified, end-to-end platform for maximizing alpha, reducing volatility and tail risk, mitigating interest rate impacts, and boosting portfolio yields, among others. On a mission to deliver excellence in alternative capital markets worldwide, Gladius combines sales and trading with asset management. This unique blueprint serves institutional managers across different investment sectors, helping them build a 14-channel distribution business for growing portfolios.
While, traditionally, distribution is a side of asset management, Gladius transformed it into its own entity. This decision was ignited by the undeniable rise of distribution awareness, with 71% of asset managers citing it as the priority. The company addresses this shift with geographically carved-out sales teams, who work with asset managers from East to Midwest to West Coast divisions to sell the breadth of their investment capabilities.
The company infuses asset management with human communication skills through face-to-face interactions, making it more cost-effective for managers by incorporating cutting-edge technology. From the salesforce to distribution platforms and investment strategies, Gladius acts as an extension of asset managers, helping them build a streamlined business structure. With expertise in alternatives structured into four key pillars – Institutional UCITS, Hedge Funds, Private Equity and Credit, and Structured Derivatives – it provides innovative and tailored solutions designed to drive results.
Headquartered in New York City, Gladius hopes to open an office in Miami in the near future. Beyond the US, its eyes are set on the UK and South American markets. Currently in the process of onboarding South American clients, this expansion is driven by the unquestionable opportunities within the continent. 'Many alternative investment vehicles haven't been developed in and customized to Latin America yet,' Abin adds. 'But the potential for growth is immense.'
Meanwhile, alternative investments in the UK are prominent and growing. However, as Abin observed, the market is less concentrated than the US, with institutional channels comprising many independent investment firms, as well as high net worth individuals and families. Abin says, 'These developing middle markets are what excites me the most about expanding into the UK.'
Alongside its ambitious growth plans, Gladius remains dedicated to delivering exceptional quality within the US, with a core focus on bringing this innovative asset management distribution structure to institutional boutique management platforms. With Abin at its helm, the firm's operations are now informed by more than 15 years of collective institutional asset management experience on both the buyer and seller sides, merged with a genuine passion for bringing asset management potential to life.
For Abin, distribution is more than a means to sales; it's the very bloodline of asset management. His vision? For this philosophy to propel Gladius into a premier global asset management distribution player. 'At the end of the day, without distribution, you can't grow,' he adds. 'By treating it like its own entity, we're reaching beyond internal structures. We're helping asset managers access institutional investors across all markets and nations.'

Abacus Global Management Announces Share Repurchase Program; Insider Buying
ORLANDO, Fla., June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abacus Global Management, Inc. ('Abacus' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management space, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $20 million share repurchase program, effective June 5, 2025 for over a period of up to 18 months, as well as recent Form 4 and other employee share purchases totaling over $2 million. "While it is unfortunate that Abacus Global Management has been subject to a short attack, we believe our artificially depressed share price represents an excellent buying opportunity for the Company,' said Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus Global Management. 'We believe this is validated by our newly authorized share repurchase program, reflecting our Board's continued confidence in our business model and strength of our balance sheet, and also by our employees who have spent over $2 million combined of their own money in recent share purchases. Our returns and valuation are audited, and consistent with a 20-year track record of generating positive revenue. We will not allow this distraction to affect our continued growth and our day-to-day operations.' During the pendency of the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated in the future. Abacus is committed to pursuing all available legal remedies against the individuals and entities responsible for orchestrating and disseminating the false and misleading short attack.
