BH Macro

What BH Macro does

BH Macro Limited is a Guernsey-incorporated, closed-ended investment company admitted to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on March 14, 2007 (Registration Number 46235). It operates as a single-purpose feeder fund: substantially all of its net assets are invested in the ordinary shares of Brevan Howard Master Fund Limited (BHMF), a Cayman Islands open-ended investment company launched in April 2003 that runs active, leveraged trading strategies across global fixed income and FX markets using global macro and relative value approaches.

The company has two listed share classes — US Dollar Shares (BHMU, ISIN GG00BQBFY479) and Sterling Shares (BHMG, ISIN GG00BQBFY362) — with a scheduled semiannual dollar-sterling conversion mechanism; following the November 30, 2025 conversion completed effective January 5, 2026, the share structure is 23,810,774 USD shares and 315,411,548 Sterling shares. Investment management is delegated to Brevan Howard Capital Management Limited, with Northern Trust providing fund administration, Computershare acting as registrar, and Kepler Partners handling press relations. A five-member non-executive board chaired by Richard Horlick oversees the vehicle, and the registered office is in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, with US solicitation explicitly restricted.

Economically, BH Macro is a pass-through vehicle rather than an operating business: it captures the net return of BHMF after management and performance fees flow to Brevan Howard, and recovers its own running costs via its Ongoing Charges Figure. Capital management is actively being recalibrated — the annual share buyback allowance was lifted from 5% to 14.99% for 2026, and Class Closure Meetings have been held in both January 2025 and January 2026 to consider resolutions that could simplify the dual-class structure. The Q3 2025 Investor Statement disclosed a decrease in net assets and share count, consistent with a mature vehicle focused on capital return and structural efficiency rather than asset gathering.
