BlueCrest returns

Partially ignore the title, recently saw a FT article saying they’re in the green for 2025 so far, not so interested in the magnitude of their returns (as I know it depends on how you calculate them) rather than in the consistency of them: does someone here have some understanding of what the difference is in how they operate compared to other players in the same strategies? What is their edge? To what extent is Platt still involved in trading? And also, having a look on LinkedIn at the typical background of their PMs there seems to be a distinct prevalence of ex bank traders compared to other platforms where other paths seem relatively more common, seemed interesting.
