Seraphim Capital Management, LLC

Seraphim Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial advisory services to individuals (including high net worth clients), retirement plans, family offices, trusts, foundations and hedge funds. The firm offers wealth management, socially responsible investing, 401(k) plan advisory, asset protection strategies using outside counsel, and a dedicated event-driven strategy focused on secondary public offerings.

SCM combines broadly diversified stock and fixed income portfolios with a specialist Event Driven strategy that takes short- and long-term positions around corporate capital events; the SPO strategy is manual yet systematic, typically holding positions about 28 days and employing a 2% end-of-day stop-loss. The firm manages separately managed accounts (SMAs) on a discretionary basis, reviews accounts at least quarterly, and uses a third-party platform to manage held-away defined contribution plan participant accounts.

What distinguishes SCM from many peers is its use of performance-based compensation for qualified clients (a 20% incentive fee with a high-water mark) and the firm’s explicit use of borrowing and derivatives within separately managed accounts—features that are uncommon among similar advisers and that introduce additional complexity and risk-management considerations. SCM also maintains an extensive database of socially conscious funds for SRI implementation and incorporates asset protection planning through external counsel as part of its service mix.
