March 14 (Bloomberg) — Man Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Roman's pay more than tripled last year to $3.4 million after the hedge-fund company's earnings rose and its share price increased for the first time since 2009.

Roman, 50, received a salary of $1 million and bonus payments valued at $2.3 million, the world's largest publicly traded hedge-fund manager said in its annual report today. Roman's salary was unchanged from 2012, when he received no bonuses.

Roman's cost cuts helped push London-based Man Group's adjusted pretax profit up 8 percent to $297 million in 2013, and he also restructured management in response to client redemptions and losses posted by the firm's biggest hedge fund, AHL Diversified.
