Highly leveraged bets on interest rates paid off for Platt in 2016 as his supersized family office turned in a 50% return net of costs. Platt co-founded BlueCrest Capital Management in late 2000 after nearly a decade at JP Morgan. Platt grew BlueCrest into one of the world's largest hedge fund managers with more than $35 billion in assets at its peak, offering low-volatility funds marked by rapid trading across a wide variety of markets.
