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 $158,641,000 Page 5 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026 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. Page 7 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026 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. Page 8 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026 Item 7: Types of Clients Adviser generally provides its services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and charitable organizations. The minimum account value required to open and maintain an account with Adviser is $3,000,000 in investable assets, subject to negotiation. Page 9 of 21 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. Page 11 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026 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 investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or “hedge fund,” and offshore fund) other investment adviser or financial planner futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor banking or thrift institution accountant or accounting firm lawyer or law firm insurance company or agency pension consultant real estate broker or dealer sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships 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. Page 18 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026 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. Page 20 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026 Item 18: Financial Information A. Adviser does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. B. Adviser has no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. C. Adviser has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. Page 21 of 21 Date of Brochure: February 18, 2026
