Jeanna Lee joined BlueCrest Capital Management as a portfolio manager, based in Singapore. She joined the firm from Nomura, where she spent 8 years across its Seoul and Singapore offices, and was most recently a managing director for the Japanese bank. Lee spent 14 years at Deutsche Bank across its Singapore and Seoul offices.
Portfolio managers are known to prefer working at BlueCrest above other hedge funds as it offers 30% of generated profits as pay, versus the standard 20% seen elsewhere.
It isn’t clear how much BlueCrest pays in Singapore specifically, but it’s definitely a chunky sum. The firm’s 46 partners in London split $1.3m between themselves, according to the latest publicly available accounts. It’s likely that Singaporean equivalents will earn in a similar ballpark.
