SEC filings
What Polaris Capital Group has raised
From this firm's own Form D filings. A fund files one within fifteen days of its first sale, under penalty of perjury, which makes these the hardest numbers on the page.
| Vehicles filed | 1 |
| Total capital raised | $166m |
| Largest single vehicle | $166m |
| Filing history | 2014 |
| Smallest accepted commitment | $1m |
| Filed from | MASSACHUSETTS |
Form D covers US-domiciled vehicles raised from accredited investors. It will not capture a fund raised outside the United States, separately managed accounts, or capital deployed off balance sheet, so treat these as a floor rather than a total.
