Which UK companies did BlueCrest Capital Management Limited short?

The FCA's named register recorded BlueCrest Capital Management Limited against 30 UK companies between 2013 and 2026, across 390 disclosures. No position was still open when the register closed on 10 Jul 2026.

Is this list current?

No. It is a frozen archive. The FCA stopped publishing position-holder names on 13 July 2026 and now publishes one anonymous aggregate per company per day, so no new named UK disclosure exists after 10 Jul 2026. Today's UK figures are on each company's own page.

Was this the whole of BlueCrest Capital Management Limited's UK short book?

No. Only net short positions of 0.5% or more of a company's issued share capital were published with the holder's name. Smaller positions were reported to the FCA privately and never appeared in the register, so the archive is a floor, not a full book.

BlueCrest Capital Management Limited

UK short positions the FCA published under this name: 30 companies and 390 disclosures between 16 Jul 2013 and 23 Nov 2020. Each figure is that position as a percentage of the company's issued share capital, not a money value, and percentages are not comparable or summable across companies.

Frozen archive. This is the pre-2026 UK named register, which stopped on 10 Jul 2026. The FCA now publishes aggregate positions only, with no holder names, so this page can never gain a new disclosure. See how UK disclosure changed in 2026. Live UK figures are on the company pages, linked below where a company is still reportable.

Frequently asked questions

Which UK companies did BlueCrest Capital Management Limited short?: The FCA's named register recorded BlueCrest Capital Management Limited against 30 UK companies between 2013 and 2026, across 390 disclosures. No position was still open when the register closed on 10 Jul 2026.
Is this list current?: No. It is a frozen archive. The FCA stopped publishing position-holder names on 13 July 2026 and now publishes one anonymous aggregate per company per day, so no new named UK disclosure exists after 10 Jul 2026. Today's UK figures are on each company's own page.
Was this the whole of BlueCrest Capital Management Limited's UK short book?: No. Only net short positions of 0.5% or more of a company's issued share capital were published with the holder's name. Smaller positions were reported to the FCA privately and never appeared in the register, so the archive is a floor, not a full book.
