Michael Platt, the co-founder and chief executive officer of BlueCrest Capital Management LLP, has moved to Jersey from Geneva, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, as the firm shifts its headquarters.
While Platt, 46, will be based in Jersey, he still spends much of his time traveling, said the person, who asked not to be identified because his plans are private. The $25 billion hedge-fund firm, the fourth-largest in Europe, is moving from Guernsey, a U.K. offshore dependency, to nearby Jersey at the end of the year to seek better staffing options.
