About

Built on stewardship.

A private investment partnership and family office with roots in the United States and Europe - built to manage and grow our principals' capital, and opened to a small group of like-minded partners who share that orientation.

Our philosophy

Broad Creek Capital - named for the tidal streams of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - was founded by Matthew Ruesch and Michael W. Green. Our culture is built on three commitments: integrity, discipline, and partnership.

We do what we say we will do. We underwrite to durable outcomes, not to the trade in front of us. And we treat every dollar we invest as belonging to a family or institution that has trusted us with their future.

Members of our team are based across Washington, New York, Paris, and Zurich, serving a transatlantic base of family office, institutional, and advisory investors.

Broad Creek, off Maryland's Eastern Shore.
