Brochure Summary

Overview

Pearson Creek Capital Management LLC is a fee-only registered investment advisor that serves as a fiduciary to its clients. The firm was formed in 2011 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The sole owner of the firm is Karl Benjamin Ruff (Ben). As of March 2024, the firm had $225 million under management. Pearson Creek is an SEC registered investment advisor. Pearson Creek provides investment management services to individuals and institutions. The firm values client education, transparency and trust. It is the goal of Pearson Creek to design and implement realistic, disciplined, long term investment plans for its clients. The firm engages in security and fund selection within an asset allocation framework. Pearson Creek seeks to work with each of its clients to develop an investment plan that reflects the client’s return objectives, cash needs, investment time horizon, and tolerance for

risk. Client imposed restrictions and requirements are specified in the investment plan and adhered to by Pearson Creek. Because Pearson Creek is focused on achieving long-term investment returns, disappointing returns over short periods of time are not a determining factor in Pearson Creek’s decision to revise an investment portfolio or recommendation. It is Pearson Creek’s position that asset allocation is both an important risk mitigation tool and a key determinant of long-term investment success. Commitments to asset allocation ranges are generally maintained through a disciplined rebalancing program, taking into account trading costs and tax implications. As part of its commitment to transparency and objectivity, Pearson Creek does not accept compensation for the sale of any securities or other investment products. Pearson Creek does not participate in wrap fee programs.
