Firm profile

Overview

Castleark Alternatives, LLC is a small, institution-focused hedge fund adviser organized as an LLC and registered with the SEC in 2024. The firm manages pooled investment vehicles on behalf of institutional clients and charges a combination of a percentage of assets under management and performance-based fees. Its filings flag it as an active ESG investor and as a related adviser to another entity, and its advisory mandate centers on portfolio management for pooled vehicles rather than one-on-one retail relationships. Public filings show the manager tilts toward liquid public markets—a mix of individual stocks and ETFs—while also allocating to third-party alternative managers in commodity and energy strategies. The presence of leveraged ETFs among top holdings suggests the firm uses tactical, higher-conviction instruments alongside longer-term equity positions. With a single pooled fund on its roster, the firm appears to operate with a concentrated client base and compact operational footprint.
