BlueCrest Capital Management LLP, the $35 billion hedge-fund firm run by Michael Platt, hired a team of former Brevan Howard Capital Management LLP credit traders, two people with knowledge of the situation said.
The group includes Wayne Leslie and Jason Feasey, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the appointments haven’t been announced formally. Leslie, 39, joined Brevan Howard last year from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., where he was a managing director responsible for European investment-grade credit trading. Feasey, 41, had joined the Jersey-based hedge fund from Bank of America Corp. in 2011.
