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

BCML is 25% owned by Man Group Holdings, which is ultimately owned by Man Group plc, with the balance owned by its principals.

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 our 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.
