Yucca Valley, CA Office

Ascentis Independent Advisors works with individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities, offering asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, financial planning and retirement plan consulting. The firm also provides referrals to third‑party money managers, co‑advisory arrangements, and operates a wrap‑fee program.

Investment advice is tailored to client objectives and may include individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, options, alternative investments and private placements, with portfolios monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis. Ascentis uses a mix of discretionary management, third‑party managers and platform solutions, an affiliate sub‑advisory arrangement, and a Private Direct Investments (PDI) program that allocates clients into illiquid private funds on a discretionary basis under a documented allocation policy.

Noteworthy distinctions disclosed in the brochure include a recent ownership restructuring placing the adviser under a holding company with common ownership across several affiliated advisory entities and the absorption of an affiliate, an explicit sub‑advisory relationship with its affiliate Ascentis Asset Management (with related compensation conflicts disclosed), and the use of co‑advisory/platform partners (including GeoWealth and multiple LPL‑sponsored program relationships). The firm also incorporates digital estate‑planning platforms into its planning process and documents its priority allocation rules for PDI opportunities.
