About Michael Platt

Michael Platt is the cofounder and CEO of BlueCrest Capital Management, which he started in late 2000 after nearly a decade at JP Morgan.

Platt built BlueCrest into one of the world's largest hedge fund firms; at its peak, it managed more than $35 billion in assets.

A push into equities and poor results led to investor exits and he returned outside investors' money in 2015, remaking BlueCrest into a family office.

The firm has flourished since then, generating returns as high as 153% in 2022 and 95% in 2020 with no years worse than 20%.
