About

South Atlantic Capital provides discretionary portfolio management for individuals, trusts, corporations, pension and profit-sharing plans, and offers equity, balanced and fixed-income strategies as well as guidance on IRA rollovers. The firm also sponsors and manages a private pooled vehicle, the Shinn Creek Fund L.P., which is available only to qualified investors.

The firm follows a value-oriented, company-specific investment process focused on long-term holdings; core equity accounts generally hold about 20–25 large-cap value-oriented stocks while balanced strategies typically allocate roughly one third to fixed income. South Atlantic manages accounts on a discretionary basis, conducts initial suitability discussions, and provides quarterly written portfolio reviews and periodic account performance reports.

Distinctive features include its role as fund sponsor and general partner (via Cedar Island Capital) of the Shinn Creek Fund, which charges a 1% management fee plus a performance-based incentive allocation of 20% subject to a high-water mark and minimum return. The Fund is structured to be more concentrated (generally no more than 15 positions), to use significant leverage and offsetting short positions (target gross exposure 135–170% and net exposure 70–120%), and to impose additional expenses and limited withdrawal rights for limited partners, creating a materially different risk and liquidity profile compared with the firm’s separately managed accounts.
