BlueCrest Capital Management is a prominent global hedge fund founded in 2000 by Michael Platt, originally spun out of JPMorgan, and formerly one of Europe's largest hedge funds managing peak assets exceeding $35 billion. The Hong Kong entity held SFC licences for dealing in securities, dealing in futures contracts, and asset management, reflecting its multi-strategy trading activities across global markets. In 2015, BlueCrest famously converted to a private partnership, returning all external investor capital and operating solely as a proprietary trading vehicle for its partners. The absence of active licensed persons in Hong Kong suggests the local entity is no longer operational or has scaled back significantly.
