Brevan Howard Hong Kong

The entity is part of Brevan Howard Asset Management, co-founded by Alan Howard in 2002. Howard previously ran one of the largest proprietary trading books at Credit Suisse before spinning out the team. He remains the controlling influence over the firm's global macro strategy and the master fund's investment committee.

It functions as a licensed, autonomous trading hub covering Asia-session macro markets — primarily rates and FX — under the parent company's centralized risk framework. The office reports to the London-based chief investment officer but deploys local portfolio management and execution infrastructure to handle Asia time-zone trading independently.

The desk focuses on discretionary and relative-value macro strategies, including G10 and Asian currency pairs, government bond rates, and commodity-linked exposures. With the launch of BH Digital in 2021, the Hong Kong office also covers institutional crypto and digital asset trading for the Asian market.

It is not a separate fund; investments are made through the global Brevan Howard master fund and associated managed accounts. The office provides regional execution and portfolio management, but investor capital is pooled at the master level in the offshore fund structure domiciled in the Cayman Islands.

The firm launched BH Digital in 2021 as a dedicated digital assets division. Hong Kong serves as a key trading hub for this strategy in Asia, covering institutional order flow and cryptocurrency market-making alongside the firm's flagship macro trading operations. BH Digital is led by Colleen Sullivan, though the Hong Kong team reports through the regional hierarchy.
