Brevan Howard Asset Management is preparing to charge some clients in its main hedge fund a new fee structure that’s fueled the ability of giant funds to poach top traders.

The firm will start a share class in its flagship Brevan Howard Master Fund to introduce the so-called “pass through” fees, according to people familiar with the matter and regulatory filings. It intends to raise money next month under the arrangement in its $10 billion strategy that has been closed to new cash, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the details are private.
