Mike Platt

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

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

In 2015 he returned outside investors’ money, remaking BlueCrest into a family office. The firm has flourished since then, generating a 95% net return in 2020 after returns in the 50% range in 2016, 2017 and 2019.
