Item 4: Advisory Business
A. Ventana Private Wealth LLC (the “Adviser,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an investment adviser founded
in 2020, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and solely
owned by Amy Boyd.
B. Adviser offers the following types of advisory services:
i.
Investment Management. Adviser provides ongoing discretionary investment
management services to its clients based upon each client’s current financial condition,
goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity requirements, investment time horizon, and other
information that is relevant to the management of clients’ account(s). This information will
then be used to make investment decisions and recommendations that reflect clients’
individual needs and objectives on an initial and ongoing basis. Adviser’s investment
decisions and recommendations will allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to various
asset classes classified according to historical and projected risks and rates of return. In
limited circumstances, Adviser may also agree to provide investment management
services on a non-discretionary basis (for which Adviser only buys, sells, or otherwise
transacts in securities or other investments upon receiving a client’s specific approval).
For accounts in which Adviser has been granted discretionary authority, Adviser will
retain the discretion to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other investments
in a client’s accounts without first receiving the client’s specific approval for each
transaction. Such discretionary authority is granted by a client in his or her investment
management agreement with Adviser.
Adviser generally implements its investments strategy by allocating clients’ investable
assets across a diversified risk-based portfolio of no-load mutual funds and/or exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”), fixed income securities, real estate funds (including real estate
investment trusts or “REITs”), equities, structured products, and private investment funds
(which may include private equity funds, venture capital funds, private credit/income
funds, and private real estate funds).
ii.
Financial Planning. When rendering financial planning services, Adviser will evaluate and
make recommendations with respect to various financial planning topics that are relevant
to a particular client. Such topics can include, for example, retirement planning, education
savings, cash flow management, debt reduction, estate planning, insurance needs, risk
mitigation, tax planning, charitable giving strategies, and/or financial goal tracking.
Implementation of Adviser’s recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
When rendering financial planning services, a conflict exists between Adviser’s interests
and the interests of its clients; clients are under no obligation to act upon Adviser’s
financial planning recommendations. If a client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by Adviser, the client is under no obligation to effect the
transaction through Adviser or any of its personnel.
Ongoing financial planning services rendered in conjunction with investment
management services.
C. Adviser does not sponsor or participate in any wrap fee programs.
D. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts
with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest
Page 4 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
i. Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
ii.
iii.
iv.
prudent advice);
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
v.
vi. Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
E. Adviser manages the following amount of discretionary and non-discretionary client assets
calculated as of December 31, 2025:
Discretionary
Non-Discretionary
Total
$146,441,000
$12,200,000

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A.
Investment Management & Financial Planning.
Adviser is compensated for its investment management and financial planning services by fees
charged based on a client’s assets designated to be under our management, advisement, and/or
supervision pursuant to the table below:
Annual Fee Percentage
0.75%
0.65%
0.55%
0.45%
$3,000,000
Client Assets Under Management
First $3M
Next $2M
Next $5M
Above $10M
Minimum relationship assets under
management, subject to firm discretion
The fees set forth above reflect a “tiered” or “blended” fee schedule, which means that different
annual fee percentages will apply to different ranges of client assets under Adviser’s
management, advisement and/or supervision. Fees are deducted in advance on a quarterly basis
from clients’ assets and based upon the market value of such assets designated to be under our
management, advisement, and/or supervision as of the last business day of the prior calendar
quarter. Client assets invested into private investment funds managed by third-party sponsors or
managers (such as hedge funds, venture capital funds, private equity funds, real estate
investment vehicles, or other private placements) are included for purposes of calculating the
asset-based fee schedule set forth above.
B. General Fee Disclosures.
Our fees are typically deducted from one or more of your accounts designated to be under our
management, advisement, and/or supervision.
Initial fees are prorated upon the commencement of our engagement. The initial pro rata fee is
charged in arrears and added to the first quarterly fee that is billed in advance of the first full
calendar quarter. Prepaid but unearned fees will be refunded to the client on a prorated basis
upon termination of our engagement, and unpaid but earned fees will be charged to the client
upon termination of our engagement.
Adviser’s fees as set forth herein reflect the ‘standard’ fees charged by Adviser to its clients.
However, the specific fees charged to a particular client may vary from client to client. Each client
should review the services agreement signed between the client and Adviser for the specific fees
that will be charged. Adviser’s fees may vary from client to client due to historical or
“grandfathered” fee schedules that are no longer offered, the nature and scope of the services to
be provided to a client, personal or familial relationships with a client, and other factors that
Adviser deems relevant. Fees are negotiable, but Adviser reserves the right to accept or reject
different fees proposed by a client. We do not charge a separate, additional fee for financial
planning.
Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products.
C. Additional Third-Party Fees and Costs.
In addition to the fees charged by Adviser, clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs.
Please refer to Item 12: Brokerage Practices, for further information on such brokerage and other
transaction-related practices. Depending on the specific investment products held in a client’s
account and the services provided, a client may also incur additional fees and costs charged by
other independent and unaffiliated third-parties. Such additional fees and costs may include, but
Page 6 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
are not necessarily limited to, the internal fees and costs of an investment product (like a mutual
fund or exchange traded fund), margin interest, account or asset transfer fees, subadvisory or
third-party investment manager fees, account type fees, early redemption charges, market-maker
or bid-ask spreads, retirement plan fees, trade-away or prime brokerage fees, fees for receiving
paper copies of documents in lieu of electronically-delivered documents, and other fees and taxes
on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. These additional charges are separate and
apart from the fees charged by Adviser. Lower fees for comparable services may be available
from other sources.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side
Management
Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts performance-based fees (fees based on a
share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Neither Adviser nor any of its
supervised persons engage in side-by-side management.

organizations. The minimum account value required to open and maintain an account with Adviser is

Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk
of Loss
A. The investment strategies used by Adviser when formulating investment advice or managing
assets includes Modern Portfolio Theory. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients
should be prepared to bear. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
B. Like any investment strategy, Modern Portfolio Theory involves material risks. Such material risks
are described in further detail below:
i.
Investing for the long term means that a client’s account will be exposed to short-term
fluctuations in the market and the behavioral impulse to make trading decisions based on
such short-term market fluctuations. Adviser does not condone short-term trading in an
attempt to “time” the market, and instead coaches clients to remain committed to their
financial goals. However, investing for the long term can expose clients to risks borne out
of changes to interest rates, inflation, general economic conditions, market cycles,
geopolitical shifts, and regulatory changes.
ii.
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of a client’s portfolio will not appreciate at least in an
amount equal to inflation over time. General micro- and macro-economic conditions may
also affect the value of the securities held in a client’s portfolio, and general economic
downturns can trigger corresponding losses across various asset classes and security
types. Market cycles may cause overall volatility and fluctuations in a portfolio’s value,
and may increase the likelihood that securities are purchased when values are
comparatively high and/or that securities are sold when values are comparatively low.
Geopolitical shifts may result in market uncertainty, lowered expected returns, and
general volatility in both domestic and international securities. Regulatory changes may
have a negative impact on capital formation and increase the costs of doing business,
and therefore result in decreased corporate profits and corresponding market values of
securities.
iii.
Investing in mutual funds does not guarantee a return on investment, and shareholders of
a mutual fund may lose the principal that they’ve invested into a particular mutual fund.
Mutual funds invest into underlying securities that comprise the mutual fund, and as such
clients are exposed to the risks arising from such underlying securities. Mutual funds
charge internal expenses to their shareholders (which can include management fees,
administration fees, shareholder servicing fees, sales loads, redemption fees, and other
fund fees and expenses, e.g.), and such internal expenses subtract from its potential for
market appreciation. Shares of mutual funds may only be traded at their stated net asset
value (“NAV”), calculated at the end of each day upon the market’s close.
Investing in ETFs bears similar risks and incurs similar costs to investing in mutual funds
as described above. However, shares of an ETF may be traded like stocks on the open
market and are not redeemable at an NAV. As such, the value of an ETF may fluctuate
throughout the day and investors will be subject to the cost associated with the bid-ask
spread (the difference between the price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for an ETF and the
seller's offering (asking) price).
Clients are encouraged to carefully read the prospectus of any mutual fund or ETF to be
purchased for investment to obtain a full understanding of its respective risks and costs.
iv.
Investing in common stocks means that a client will be subject to the risks of the overall
market as well as risks associated with the particular company or companies whose
stock is owned. These risks can include, for example, changes in economic conditions,
Page 10 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
growth rates, profits, interest rates and the market’s perception of these securities.
Common stocks tend to be more volatile and more risky than certain other forms of
investments, especially as compared to fixed income products like bonds.
v.
Investing in fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government, including Treasury
Bills, Treasury Notes, Treasury Bonds, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”),
and Floating Rate Notes means that a client will be subject to the market prices of such
debt securities, which typically fluctuate depending on interest rates, credit quality, and
maturity. In general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and
rise when interest rates fall. The longer the time to a security’s maturity, the greater its
interest rate risk. Fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government are also subject
to inflation risk, reinvestment risk, redemption risk, and valuation risk.
vi.
Investing in municipal securities carries unique risks, depending on the type of bond
offered. General obligation bonds are issued by governmental entities and are not
backed by revenues from a specific project or source. In some instances, municipalities
may not have taxing authority to repay bondholders. Revenue bonds are backed by
revenues from a specific project or source and can vary greatly in terms of credit risk.
Some revenue bonds are “non-course” bonds, meaning that should the revenue stream
dry up or the conduit borrower fails to pay, the bondholder will not have a claim to the
underlying revenue or against the conduit borrower.
vii.
Investing in corporate debt, including corporate bonds, carries additional risks to those
noted above for fixed income securities. Corporate debt is also subject to credit risk - the
risk that the bond issuer may default on one or more payments before the bond reaches
maturity. In the event of a default, you may lose some or all of the income you were
entitled to, and even some or all of the principal amount invested. Some corporate bonds
may also be subject to early redemption risk, with the issuer having the principal repaid
prior to the maturity date of the bond.
viii.
Investing in REITs means that clients will be subject to the risks associated with
investments in mortgages and their related activities in addition to the general risk of
equity and financial markets. Among the factors that the REIT industry is vulnerable to
are: (1) change in government regulation, primarily the pass-through tax treatment of
REIT income, (2) the market for residential mortgage assets, (3) the general level and
term structure for interest rates. The common equity prices of REITs have historically
been more closely correlated with changes in interest rates than other non-REIT equity
securities. Additionally, REITs tend to be more illiquid in nature, may contain additional
fees, and may experience disruptions in distributions in comparison to other types of
securities.
ix.
Investments in private investment funds (e.g., limited partnerships, limited liability
companies, special purpose vehicles, and other private investment funds) are often
subject to liquidity restrictions, which means that a client may not be able to redeem his
or her investment until a redemption window is available. In addition, such investments
can be more volatile and less transparent than an exchange-listed security that trades
daily in an electronic marketplace. Private investment funds are generally more difficult to
value than exchange-listed securities, and therefore are more reliant on individual
judgment as opposed to market prices when determining a valuation. Investors in private
investment funds are typically required to be either accredited investors, qualified clients,
or both, and should carefully consider the specific risks described in the applicable
private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, limited liability company
agreement, and other fund-related disclosure documents.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of
Adviser’s advisory business or the integrity of Adviser’s management.
Page 12 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
A. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity
trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
C. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons have any relationship or arrangement with
any related person below:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
viii.
ix.
x.
xi.
broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker

closed-end investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or
“hedge fund,” and offshore fund)

D. Adviser does not recommend or select other investment advisers for clients.
Page 13 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions & Personal Trading
A. Adviser has adopted a code of ethics that will be provided to any client or prospective client upon
request. Adviser’s code of ethics describes the standards of business conduct that Adviser
requires of its supervised persons, which is reflective of Adviser’s fiduciary obligations to act in
the best interests of its clients. The code of ethics also includes sections related to compliance
with securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, reporting of
violations of the code of ethics to Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer, pre-approval of certain
investments by access persons, and the distribution of the code of ethics and any amendments to
all supervised persons followed by a written acknowledgement of their receipt.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its related persons recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client
accounts, securities in which Adviser or any of its related persons has a material financial
interest.
C. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will invest in the same securities (or related
securities such as warrants, options or futures) that Adviser or a related person recommends to
clients. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest because it affords Adviser or its
related persons the opportunity to profit from the investment recommendations made to clients.
Adviser’s policies and procedures and code of ethics address this conflict of interest by
prohibiting such trading by Adviser or its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any
client and by monitoring for compliance through the reporting and review of personal securities
transactions. In all instances Adviser will act in the best interests of its clients.
D. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will buy or sell securities for client accounts at or
about the same time that Adviser or a related person buys or sells the same securities for its own
(or the related person’s own) account. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest
because it affords Adviser or its related persons the opportunity to trade either before or after the
trade is made in client accounts, and profit as a result. Adviser’s policies and procedures and
code of ethics address this conflict of interest by prohibiting such trading by Adviser or its related
persons if it would be to the detriment of any client and by monitoring for compliance through the
reporting and review of personal securities transactions. In all instances Adviser will act in the
best interests of its clients.
Page 14 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Adviser considers several factors when recommending a custodial broker-dealer for client
transactions and determining the reasonableness of such custodial broker-dealer’s
compensation. Such factors include the custodial broker-dealer’s industry reputation and financial
stability, service quality and responsiveness, execution price, speed and accuracy, reporting
abilities, and general expertise. Assessing these factors as a whole allows Adviser to fulfill its duty
to seek best execution for its clients’ securities transactions. However, Adviser does not
guarantee that the custodial broker-dealer recommended for client transactions will necessarily
provide the best possible price, as price is not the sole factor considered when seeking best
execution. After considering the factors above, Adviser recommends Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
("Schwab") as the custodial broker-dealer for client accounts.
i.
Adviser does not receive research and other soft dollar benefits in connection with client
securities transactions, which are known as “soft dollar benefits”. However, Schwab
provides certain products and services that are intended to directly benefit Adviser,
clients, or both. Such products and services include (a) an online platform through which
Adviser can monitor and review client accounts, (b) access to proprietary technology that
allows for order entry, (c) duplicate statements for client accounts and confirmations for
client transactions, (d) invitations to Schwab’s educational conferences, (e) practice
management consulting, and (f) occasional business meals and entertainment.
The receipt of these products and services creates a conflict of interest to the extent it
causes Adviser to recommend Schwab as opposed to a comparable custodial
broker-dealer. Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this
brochure, evaluating Schwab based on the value and quality of its services as realized by
clients, and by periodically evaluating alternative broker-dealers to recommend.
ii.
Adviser does not consider, in selecting or recommending custodial broker-dealers,
whether Adviser or a related person receives client referrals from a custodial
broker-dealer.
iii.
Adviser does not routinely recommend, request, or require that a client direct Adviser to
execute transactions through a specified custodial broker-dealer other than Schwab.
B. Adviser retains the ability to aggregate the purchase and sale of securities for clients’ accounts
with the goal of seeking more efficient execution and more consistent results across accounts.
Aggregated trading instructions will not be placed if it would result in increased administrative and
other costs, custodial burdens, or other disadvantages. If client trades are aggregated by Adviser,
such aggregation will be done so as not to disadvantage any client and to treat all clients as fairly
and equally as possible. Directing the purchase and sale of securities for clients’ accounts on an
individual basis, rather than in aggregate blocks, may result in increased client transaction costs.
To the extent the securities purchased and sold by Adviser are mutual funds (each of which
generally price at the same respective net asset value at the end of each trading day), Adviser
believes that the potential for increased client transaction costs by not aggregating orders is
substantially eliminated.
Page 15 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A. The Founder, Principal, and CCO of Adviser monitors client accounts on an ongoing basis, and
typically reviews client accounts on a quarterly basis. Such reviews are designed to ensure that
the client is still on track to achieve his or her financial goals, and that the investments remain
appropriate given the client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, major life events, and other
factors. Clients are encouraged to proactively reach out to Adviser to discuss any changes to
their personal or financial situation.
B. Other factors that may trigger a review include, but are not limited to, material developments in
market conditions, material geopolitical events, and changes to a client’s personal or financial
situation (the birth of a child, preparing for a home purchase, plans to attend higher education, a
job transition, impending retirement, death or disability among family members, etc.).
C. The custodial broker-dealer will send account statements and reports directly to clients no less
frequently than quarterly. Such statements and reports will be mailed to clients at their address of
record or delivered electronically, depending on the client’s election. If agreed to by Adviser and
client, Adviser or a third-party report provider will also send clients reports to assist them in
understanding their account positions and performance, as well as the progress toward achieving
financial goals.
Page 16 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Only clients provide an economic benefit to Adviser for providing investment advice or other
advisory services to them, except as otherwise described in this brochure. However, as described
above in Item 12, Schwab provides certain products and services that are intended to directly
benefit Adviser, clients, or both.
B. Neither Adviser nor a related person directly or indirectly compensates a person who is not
Adviser’s supervised person for client referrals.
Page 17 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 15: Custody
For clients that have not provided Adviser with any standing letters of authorization (“SLOAs”) to distribute
funds from their account(s) to third parties, Adviser will not have any custody of client funds or securities.
Since Adviser’s fees are deducted directly from their account(s), Adviser will generally be deemed to have
custody over such clients’ funds pursuant to applicable custody rules and guidance thereto. In addition,
Adviser will generally be deemed to have custody of client funds to the extent a client provides Adviser
with discretion as to amount and timing of disbursements pursuant to an SLOA to disburse funds from
their account(s) a third party. At no time will Adviser accept custody of client funds or securities in the
capacity of a custodial broker-dealer or other qualified custodian, and at all times client accounts will be
held by a third-party qualified custodian as described in Item 12, above.
With respect to custody that is triggered by third party SLOAs, Adviser endeavors to comply with the
following seven conditions as listed in the 2017 SEC No Action Letter to the Investment Adviser
Association:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s
signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account
number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a transfer of
funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third
party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s
instruction.
6. The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of the
investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
If a client receives account statements from both the custodial broker-dealer and Adviser or a third-party
report provider, such client is urged to compare such account statements and advise Adviser of any
discrepancies between them.

Item 16: Investment Discretion
Adviser accepts discretionary trading authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients only
pursuant to the mutual written agreement of Adviser and the client through a power-of-attorney, which is
typically contained in the advisory agreement signed by Adviser and the client. This includes the authority
to buy, sell, and otherwise transact in securities and other investment products in clients’ account(s)
without necessarily consulting with clients in advance. Clients may place reasonable limitations on this
discretionary authority so long as it is contained in a written agreement and/or power-of-attorney.
Page 19 of 21
Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
A. Adviser does not have and will not accept authority to vote client securities.
B. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodial broker-dealer or
a transfer agent, as applicable, and should direct any inquiries regarding such proxies or other
solicitations directly to the sender.

or more in advance.
B. Adviser has no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual
commitments to clients.
