Brevan Howard’s Master Fund gained 5.3% in 2024, a profitable year for global macro ahead of bigger macroeconomic shifts expected in President Trump’s second term.

The firm now employs more than 1,000, including at least 155 portfolio managers. Its largest office remains London but Abu Dhabi, where it opened an office two years ago, is now its biggest risk-taking centre.
