Ventura, CA Office

Valley Wealth Strategies, LLC (VWS) is an SEC‑registered multi‑advisor firm that provides investment management, financial planning and retirement plan advisory services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts, small businesses, charitable organizations and retirement plans. The firm implements portfolios through its internal management and by recommending unaffiliated independent managers or investment platforms.

VWS generally follows a long‑term investment orientation but may employ shorter‑term trading and rebalancing as needed, constructing portfolios from mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed‑income securities while serving as a fiduciary to clients. It offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary account management, and continues oversight of independent managers and custodial platforms used by clients.

Notably, VWS reports that a majority of its assets — roughly $999.4 million of about $1.45 billion in total AUM — are managed on a non‑discretionary basis, a structure that is less common for firms of its size. The brochure also discloses that advisory personnel maintain affiliated roles as registered representatives of LPL Financial and as insurance producers through an affiliated insurance agency, and that the firm has a referral arrangement with another registered adviser; these relationships are identified and addressed in the firm’s disclosures and policies.
