Poplar Point Capital Management LLC

Poplar Point Capital Management LLC serves primarily pooled and institutional clients, managing Poplar Point Capital Partners LP on a discretionary basis and advising a separately managed account for an endowment. The firm’s regulatory assets under management are roughly $110 million and its Fund is limited to accredited investors under Section 3(c)(1).

The firm pursues a concentrated long/short approach focused on smaller market capitalization equities, debt and derivative instruments, and targets investments that it believes trade below intrinsic value. Poplar Point may invest in corporate liquidations and routinely uses options, short sales, margin and other forms of leverage and hedging while seeking positive absolute returns over a multi-year (generally 3–5 year) horizon.

What distinguishes Poplar Point from many peers is that, in addition to its private pooled vehicle, it explicitly provides investment services to an endowment, a client type less commonly reported by similar managers. Its emphasis on small-cap liquidation opportunities combined with active shorting, derivatives and potential high turnover means the firm’s risk profile and trading activity can be materially different from more diversified institutional managers.
