BlueCrest Capital Management Limited ("BCML") is an alternative asset management business based in Jersey, managing significant institutional assets across a number of diversified strategies. The two founders of BlueCrest Capital Management, Michael Platt and William Reeves (now retired), were both Managing Directors and senior proprietary traders at JP Morgan, and left to establish BlueCrest in 2000. BlueCrest Capital Management is fully owned by its principals.

BCML has appointed several entities that act as sub-investment managers of funds managed by BlueCrest, currently being: (1) BlueCrest Capital Management (UK) LLP, (2) BlueCrest Capital Management Guernsey LP (acting through its Geneva branch), (3) BlueCrest Capital Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd, (4) BlueCrest Capital Management (New York) LP, (5) BlueCrest Capital Management (Boston) LP, (6) BlueCrest Investimentos Brasil Limitada, (7) BlueCrest Capital Management (Canada) Limited, (8) BlueCrest Capital Management (Hong Kong) Limited and (9) BlueCrest Capital Management Jersey Limited. Each of these sub-investment managers has been appointed by BCML to manage some of the assets of one or more of the BlueCrest funds in BCMLs place, each as an agent of the relevant fund(s).

Since its inception, BlueCrest's objective has been to construct a trading infrastructure of investment bank quality, upon which trading teams can be built and new strategies developed. BlueCrest believes in a specialist model. It employs teams of market specialists across numerous disciplines, all operating with state-of-the-art proprietary analytical technology. This specialist structure encourages broader overall portfolios with significantly less concentrated risk and can allow the portfolio managers to focus on smaller, more esoteric anomalies that are often overlooked.

All of BlueCrest's specialist teams benefit from the significant market insights provided by our strong and diversified research team. The combination of a specialist model and such breadth and depth of research insures a high level of intellectual curiosity which drives continued product innovation.
