Poesis Plans to Open AI Clarity to Outside Clients in Early 2027
The strategy targets 80 to 100 large-cap U.S. stocks, with AI agents handling research and trade timing while managers set risk limits and approve trades.

Wall Street veterans Alex Popa and Charles Elkan are raising capital for a new stock hedge fund as Poesis plans to open its first strategy to outside clients in early 2027.
The strategy, AI Clarity, has been managed with the founders’ own money since August. It aims to hold 80 to 100 large-cap companies listed in the United States, with a target holding period of three years.
Software agents apply quantitative models to research and choose stocks, then determine when to trade them. A possible market downturn would prompt the strategy to hedge by shorting stock indexes.
Popa and his team set risk limits and other parameters. They also review and approve trades, leaving managers in control of those safeguards and transaction approvals.
