BlueCrest Capital Management is indeed known for its impressive returns, and the 38% figure you mentioned aligns with their reputation for delivering strong performance. They transitioned to a private investment partnership in 2015, focusing on proprietary capital rather than external investors, which has allowed them to take on more aggressive and flexible strategies.
While they are often associated with rates and macro strategies, BlueCrest is not limited to just that. They employ a multi-strategy approach, leveraging expertise across various asset classes, including fixed income, currencies, and other macroeconomic-driven trades. Their ability to attract top-tier talent and maintain a decentralized trading model has been a key factor in their success.
Their performance, however, also comes with high risk and volatility, which is typical for funds aiming for such outsized returns.

Run 500% gross
That's not that crazy though. Some firms run higher.
Also widely known that they quote returns on margin, which leads to the crazy #s you’re seeing. Still impressive, but divide by 5 and you get returns more in line w/ MM peers
