Key people at The Pearl Fund.
The Pearl Fund was founded in 2019 by Brian Phillips (Co-Founder & Partner) and Eve Tetzlaff (Co-Founder & Partner).
The Pearl Fund operates as an investment firm, providing specialized vehicles that combine the growth potential of Bitcoin with the tax advantages of Opportunity Zone investing. Its core product, the Pearl Bitcoin Fund, is designed to eliminate capital gains tax on Bitcoin investments, leveraging established regulatory frameworks. The firm delivers a strategy allowing accredited investors to defer capital gains and ultimately realize tax-free growth after a ten-year holding period, supported by institutional-grade security and compliance protocols.
The firm was founded by Brian P. Phillips, who serves as Managing Partner. An early adopter and investor in Bitcoin since 2013, Phillips identified the significant tax burden associated with cryptocurrency gains. His insight led to the creation of The Pearl Fund, which applies his extensive expertise in Opportunity Zone regulations to the digital asset space. Phillips is recognized as a Forbes-ranked top ten Opportunity Zone investor, bringing a strong pedigree in both investment strategy and tax-advantaged financial structures.
The Pearl Fund targets accredited investors seeking to maximize returns on their Bitcoin holdings while mitigating tax liabilities. The company’s vision is to offer a path for these investors to build generational wealth by providing a uniquely structured option for long-term, tax-efficient Bitcoin appreciation. The fund empowers investors with attractive tax benefits and control over their investment exit, forward-looking to optimize gains within the evolving regulatory landscape.
