FTSE 250-listed investment management firm Man Group dropped 5% after net outflows during the first quarter caught investors by surprise.

However, consensus forecasts were for positive net flows of $1.3bn.
Travel and airline stocks were pulling back after a strong performance the previous session as oil prices continued to be volatile, Wizz Air out of favour.
