Michael Platt, born in 1984 in Geneva, Switzerland, is the founder of BlueCrest Capital Management. After nearly a decade at JP Morgan, Platt co-founded BlueCrest in late 2000 and grew it into one of the world's largest hedge fund managers with more than $35 billion in assets. Platt's highly leveraged bets on interest rates paid off in 2016, resulting in a 50% return net of costs. However, a push into equities and poor results led to investor exits and Platt handed outside investors their money back in 2015, transitioning BlueCrest into a family office that resembles a big hedge fund. Platt now has more than 100 teams of professional traders managing money for his own account.

Biography/Timeline

2001

Platt started his career at the Salford City Reds, making his début in Super League against the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the final game of the 2001 season at just 17. However he never quite made the grade and was released by the club.

2004

Michael then signed for the Rochdale Hornets. His impressive début season was somewhat blighted by a broken jaw, although he did go on to win the National League's Young Player of the Year award in 2004.

2005

Michael then joined the Castleford Tigers, and helped the Tigers gain promotion in 2005. Despite the subsequent Super League season proving to be difficult in a squad which lacked quality, Platt still managed to score 7 tries. However, after a heartbreaking 29–17 defeat against Wakefield in the final game of the season, Castleford were relegated.

2007

Platt joined the Bradford Bulls in 2007 after a dispute between Platt and Castleford over his availability. His first season started well and he topped the try-scorers league for a number of weeks at the start of the season. He extended his contract in 2011 for a further 2 years, meaning he will stay with the Bulls until at least 2013.

He was named in the Ireland training squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, and the Ireland squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.
