A. Description of the Advisory Firm
This firm has been in business since 2008, and the principal owner is Douglas Dean
Vander Weide.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Valiant Wealth, LLC (hereinafter “Valiant Wealth”) offers the following services to
advisory clients:
Investment Supervisory Services
Valiant Wealth offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual
goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. Valiant Wealth creates an
Investment Advisory Contract for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation
(income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan (the Investment
Advisory Contract) to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s specific
situation. Investment Supervisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
Valiant Wealth evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk
tolerance and time horizon. Valiant Wealth requests discretionary authority from clients
in order to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client
prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment
Advisory Contract, which is signed by each client.
Valiant Wealth also provides asset management services to pooled investment vehicles,
such as those disclosed in Item 10.C. The scope of such services is described in the
Investment Due Diligence Agreement executed by Valiant Wealth and the pooled
investment vehicle. Other clients of Valiant Wealth may invest in or be invited to invest
in such pooled investment vehicles.
Due Diligence and Other Related Services
In addition to asset management services, Valiant Wealth also offers due diligence and
other related services to pooled investment vehicles, such as due diligence consulting,
bridge loan sourcing, and equity sources. The services provided are described in detail in
each pooled investment vehicle’s private placement offering documents.
Financial Planning
Financial planning may include, but is not limited to: investment planning, insurance
planning, tax concerns, retirement planning, education planning, and debt/credit
planning. The fees associated with these services are variable depending upon the
complexity of the services needed. Each client’s financial planning fee is documented in
Exhibit II of the Investment Advisory Contract.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
Valiant Wealth offers investment advice and/or money management regarding mutual
funds, equities, bonds, fixed income, debt securities, ETFs, REITs, private placements,
options and government securities. Valiant Wealth may use other securities as well to help
diversify a portfolio when applicable. Upon request, Valiant Wealth may offer advice on
securities that clients hold outside of their accounts at Valiant Wealth.
Additional Services
Valiant may offer additional services to high-net-worth individuals, such as lifestyle
management, personal accounting, estate plan coordination, tax planning and
preparation, property management oversight, risk mitigation, insurance reviews, and
family governance.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
Valiant Wealth offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client
financial plans and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment
Advisory Contract that outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk
tolerance) and is used to construct a client specific plan to aide in the selection of a
portfolio that matches restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in
accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent Valiant
Wealth from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require
Valiant Wealth to deviate from its standard suite of services, Valiant Wealth reserves the
right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Valiant Wealth does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
