Deer Creek Capital

What Deer Creek Capital does

Deer Creek Capital is a privately held, boutique Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) based in Chestnut Mountain, Georgia, serving individual investors throughout the United States. The firm delivers personalized financial planning, investment management, tax management, and wealth management services to corporate executives, retirees, family business owners, inherited wealth recipients, and professionals across diverse industries including food processing, medicine, legal, and farming.

The firm's core product offering combines three proprietary investment methodologies: a Core Asset Allocation Process built on Nobel Prize-winning theories with mean reversion quantification and upper/lower allocation bands; a Hub and Spoke Tactical Process that deploys 3-5% tactical allocations to valuation anomalies in less-followed asset classes; and a Tax-Loss Harvesting System for year-round tax efficiency. Underlying infrastructure is provided through the firm's membership in Advisory Services Network, LLC, which supplies regulatory oversight, compliance, portfolio performance analytics, and distribution authorizations. Client assets are custodied at industry-leading institutional custodians that provide real-time account access, monthly statements, and transaction confirmations.

Deer Creek Capital generates revenue through recurring investment advisory and management fees on a discretionary basis, with pricing determined through initial consultations rather than publicly disclosed rate cards. The go-to-market is relationship-led, combining direct advisor meetings with a strong client referral channel — the firm explicitly states that many new clients are referred by existing clients. The firm operates with 1-10 employees, including founder Steve Crocker (former SVP at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and Trust Officer at SunTrust) and Kristian Martin, marketing a fiduciary-led boutique experience.
