Brevan Howard is the world’s largest macro hedge fund. In August 2011 it made close to $1.5bn over three weeks on the back of turmoil in the global markets.

According to the Financial Times, 'so-called global macro funds such as Brevan aim to profit from shifts in the world economy by trading in bonds, currencies, rates and equities'.
- Brevan is widely regarded as one of the most influential bond-trading firms in the world, thanks to both its size and the frequency with which it trades. However, it is a notoriously publicity-shy company.
- The firm’s principal founding partner, Alan Howard, a former top Credit Suisse trader, oversees as much as a third of the master fund’s $24bn portfolio by himself from the firm’s recently opened Geneva office.
In a month in which equity markets worldwide have seen declines of more than 10 per cent, the gain comes as a vindication for the $32bn London-based fund manager, which for more than a year – like many of its peers – has struggled to make headway in volatile conditions.
