Brevan Howard Asset Management is a global alternative investment management platform founded in 2002, specialising in global macro and digital assets strategies for institutional investors. Under CEO Aron Landy, the firm manages capital for sovereign wealth funds, corporate and public pension plans, and foundations and endowments from nine global hubs. The platform has grown to over 1,050 team members, including more than 145 portfolio managers.
The firm's investment approach centres on three pillars: macro thinking, trade structuring, and risk management. Its global macro products combine directional and relative value approaches with derivative trading strategies designed to generate what the firm describes as orthogonal but complementary return streams. Alongside these traditional offerings, Brevan Howard has developed digital assets investment products, positioning itself among the early institutional players in this emerging asset class. The firm emphasises rigorous stress testing, tail risk analysis, and continual development of risk frameworks within its investment process.
Brevan Howard's institutional framework is supported by what it characterises as best-in-class technology infrastructure. The firm's technical domains span macro thinking, trade structuring, risk management, directional and relative value trading, derivative strategies, stress testing, tail risk analysis, and institutional investment technology. With headquarters in the United Kingdom and a presence across nine global hubs, the platform serves institutional clients worldwide, drawing on nearly two decades of operational history in alternative investment management.
