Overview
Universal Value Advisors was established in 2005 as a Nevada-registered investment advisor, headquartered in Reno. The firm operates as an independent RIA without visible affiliation to a bank, broker-dealer, or family-office parent, implying a founder-led structure built around direct client relationships. Its core mandate spans investment advisory services, portfolio management, and asset management for individuals and high-net-worth households. Standard implementation in this category includes concentrated equity portfolios, fixed-income ladders, and tactical cash management. No public data provides team size, office count, or operational milestones. Adjacent vehicles, philanthropic structures, or co-investment platforms are not known. The firm's structural differentiator is its independence and simplicity. The governance and succession structure remain opaque — a common profile for a small, founder-driven RIA where the advisor, portfolio manager, and relationship manager are one. UNIVERSAL VALUE ADVISORS was listed as registered with the SEC in the IAPD firm compilation observed on 2026-10-22. In Form ADV filed on 2026-03-30, it reported 5 employees; 1 advisory account; services including Portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, Portfolio management for investment companies; client categories including Investment companies; compensation arrangements including A percentage of assets under management. These are dated adviser-reported facts, not independently verified by Altss. Registration does not constitute approval or endorsement. This historical filing does not establish current registration status or operations.

How is Universal Value Advisors regulated?
