Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Sapphire Star Capital LLC is an SEC-registered hedge fund adviser that concentrates on institutional mandates and pooled investment vehicles. The firm runs a compact, equity-focused overlay across its managed accounts while also operating two private hedge funds. Its fee schedule mixes a percentage-of-AUM charge with performance-based fees, a structure that aligns compensation with active return generation typical of hedge fund managers. Sapphire Star’s advisory activities are centered on portfolio management for pooled investment vehicles and for businesses or institutions, and its client base is small and institutional in nature. Investment activity shows a clear preference for publicly traded equities and exchange-traded products, with most separately managed account (SMA) assets positioned in listed securities. The presence of performance fees and pooled fund management suggests the firm pursues actively managed strategies rather than passive indexing, and it uses private placements and mutual funds to complement its public market exposures.
