Firm Seeks Official 'Not an Adviser' Ruling

## Summary

Benjamin Partners LLC asked the SEC to officially say they’re not an investment adviser under a specific law. This means they want to be treated differently by the rules, and the SEC might approve this unless someone asks for a hearing by July 13, 2026. If you’re interested, you can speak up before then, but no money changes hands right now.
