Item 4 – Advisory Business
Mosley Wealth Management, Inc. (“MWM”) is an Investment Advisory Firm owned by Felton Thomas
(Tom) Mosley and has been offering its services since 2019.
MWM provides Asset Management services to its clients as described below.
Asset Management Services
MWM provides Clients with continuous and ongoing monitoring of and supervision over their Account(s).
MWM bases our advice on a client’s individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance. MWM
creates an investment policy statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation
(income, tax levels, objectives, and risk tolerance levels).
MWM evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and time
horizon. MWM will request discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and execute
transactions without permission from the client. Risk tolerance levels are documented by an evaluation
that is given to each client.
All reasonable restrictions, including special instructions and limitations, regarding the investments and
management of Client's Account are noted by the client in the Asset Management Agreement.
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 MWM from properly servicing the client
account, or if the restrictions would require MWM to deviate from its standard suite of services, MWM
reserves the right to end the relationship.
Participation Account Management (Discretionary) – Pontera
MWM provides an additional service for accounts not directly held in our custody, but where we do have
discretion, and may leverage an Order Management System to implement tax-efficient asset location and
opportunistic rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. These are primarily 401(k) accounts, HSA’s,
and other assets we do not custody. We regularly review the available investment options in these
accounts, monitor them, and rebalance and implement our strategies in the same way we do other
accounts, though using different tools as necessary.
The Order Management System allows MWM to manage client accounts on a discretionary basis without
having to obtain and maintain a client’s login credentials. Clients using the Order Management System
will receive a link allowing them to connect their account(s) to the platform. Once a client account is
connected to the Order Management System, MWM will monitor and rebalance or reallocate
investments in that account in the same way as it/we does for other (non-held away) accounts, though
using different tools. When clients engage MWM in this capacity, they are responsible to keep the
Pontera platform link active, so that MWM will be able to access and manage the respective account
without delay. If MWM determines that an Order Management System link has become inactive, MWM
will use its best efforts to notify the client to resolve the issue. A portion of the advisory fee paid by a
client to MWM may be used to compensate this third-party provider.
MWM does not offer a wrap program.
As of December 31, 2024, MWM manages approximately $ 182,927,230 in discretionary asset and
$2,221,135 in non-discretionary assets under management, with a total of $185,148,365 of assets under
management.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
MWM allows the account adviser representative (“IAR”) discretion to set the individual advisory fee under
their Client Advisory Agreements within the fee ranges provided by MWM, shown below. The annual fees
are negotiable and will be set forth in the Client Fee Disclosure in the Asset Management Agreement upon
execution. Clients will never be charged a total management fee over the 3% industry average. Lower fees
for comparable services may be available from other sources.
Portfolio Management Fee Schedule
Total Assets Under Management
Maximum Annual Fees
$1 - $100,000
1.85%
$100,001 - $499,999
1.70%
$500,000 - $999,999
1.55%
$1,000,000 - $2,000,000
1.40%
$2,000,001 +
1.25%
This fee table listed above is for accounts where MWM would build our own or use standardized model
portfolios. Investment advisory fees of MWM are charged based on a percentage of assets under
management (“AUM”), billed in arrears (at the end of the billing period) on a monthly basis, and calculated
based on the average daily balance of the account during the current billing period. Fees are prorated
based on the number of days service is provided during each billing period and are debited directly from
your managed account. If services began in the middle of the billing period, then the prorated fee for that
billing period will be billed in arrears at the end of that billing period.
Under the average daily balance method, each day’s balance for the month is summed then divided by the
number of days in the month, to compute the average daily balance. The average daily balance is then
multiplied by the monthly portion of the annual fee to determine the monthly fee due.
The final fee for a client is included with the Client’s Investment Management Agreement, and is based
upon the type of client, the complexity of the client's situation, the composition of the client's account (i.e.,
equities versus mutual funds), the potential for additional account deposits, the relationship of the client
with the investment adviser representative, the total amount of assets under management for the client,
and the portfolio(s) chosen.
MWM believes that its annual fee is reasonable in relation to: (1) services provided, and (2) the fees
charged by other investment advisers offering similar services/programs. However, our annual fee may be
higher than that charged by other investment advisers offering similar services and programs.
Account management services by MWM continue in effect until terminated by either party, by providing
written notice of termination to the other party. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for
a full refund of MWM's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Management Agreement.
Any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded by MWM to you. If services are terminated at any
time other than the last business day of the month, fees for the final billing period will be determined on a
pro rata basis using the number of days services are actually provided during the final period.
All fees are negotiable. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.
5
Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees, such as custodian fees, brokerage fees,
mutual fund fees, transaction fees, if applicable. Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees
charged by MWM. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding broker-dealer/custodian information.
MWM and its supervised persons may receive compensation for the sale of insurance products to its
clients. Neither MWM nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of investment
products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. Clients have
the option to purchase investment products that we recommend through other brokers or agents that are
not affiliated with us.
Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-By Side Management
MWM does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains or on capital
appreciation of the assets of a client.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
MWM generally offers advisory services to the following types of clients:
Individuals
•
• High Net Worth Individuals
• Charitable Organizations
• Business Owners
There is no account minimum for any of MWM’s services.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
While our methods of analysis and investment strategies vary to some extent for each Client, in general,
we seek attractive, uncorrelated risk-adjusted returns by investing in a portfolio of publicly listed securities.
We typically allocate securities using traditional long-term asset allocation methodologies. This is designed
to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its nature, the long-term investment strategy can
expose clients to various types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the
client owns the investments. We have discussed these risks in greater detail below.
MWM uses long- and short-term trading. Long-term trading involves securities held for at least one year.
Short term trading involves securities sold within the first year. MWM also may do frequent trading within
portfolios, which involves buying and selling positions within 30 days.
Our Firm does engage the services of unaffiliated and independent registered investment advisor(s)
(“Signal Providers”) to receive buy and sell signals, research, or other information that the Firm uses to
manage a particular strategy/portfolio. Such Signal Providers will not act as fiduciaries with respect to any
client as they are engaged to provide market-related services to our Firm. In providing individualized
investment advice, our Firm will invest a client’s assets in accordance with the recommendations of one
or more Signal Providers or may invest the account in any manner it deems appropriate based on the
6
client’s personal objectives. All fees incurred by the subscription to various Signal Providers are paid by
MWM (as a percentage of the fees generated within a particular strategy). Thus, a portion of the advisory
fee paid by a client to MWM may be used to compensate such third-party providers or consultants.
There can be no assurance that a client’s investment objective will be achieved or that there will be any
return of capital, and investment results may vary substantially on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
All securities investments present a risk of loss of capital. Volatile financial markets increase that risk.
Market risk is a factor in any investment, and a higher level of volatility in the financial markets has
increased risk generally. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity in the markets in which a client holds positions,
directly or indirectly, could cause losses.
Price and Liquidity Fluctuations of Investments (Market Risk). The market value of an investment will
fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, general economic conditions, the
condition of financial markets, developments or trends in the securities markets and the financial condition
of the issuers of the securities in which the client invests.
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example,
when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to
decline.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a dollar next year,
because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the
currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as exchange rate risk.
Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a
potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income securities.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets are more
liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid,
while real estate properties are not.
Management Risk: The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the intended results. If the
advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a specific asset class or fund are not realized in the
expected time frame, the overall performance of the client’s portfolio may suffer.
Diversification Risk. Certain Clients may hold a limited number of positions (both long and short) at any
given time. As a result of the lack of diversification, a significant loss in any one position may have a
material adverse effect on the net asset value of the Client’s account and their rate of return. Any
fluctuation in the overall value of securities in certain industries likely will have a material adverse effect
on the performance of such portfolios.
The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete list of the risks involved in investing.
Prospective investors are recommended to consult with their investment adviser representatives before
deciding whether to invest. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be
prepared to bear.
We use a variety of investments in our portfolios. More detail about the risks associated with these
investments is listed below.
7
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money
investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of
bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature.
Equity investments generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment of
dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities may
fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general economic
environments.
Fixed income investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments
can vary. In general, the fixed income market is volatile and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk.
Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both
issuers and counterparties.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar to stocks.
Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding
bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing complexity,
conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance.
Non-U.S. securities present certain risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic change, social
unrest, changes in government regulation, differences in accounting and the lesser degree of accurate
public information available.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Neither MWM nor any of its management persons have been subject to any criminal or civil actions,
administrative proceedings, or self-regulatory organization (SRO) proceedings.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither MWM 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, Futures Commission
Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or Commodity Trading Advisor or an associated person of the
foregoing entities.
IARs associated with MWM may also be independent licensed insurance agents, and from time to time,
will offer clients insurance products in their insurance agent capacity. Clients should be aware that
Insurance Companies that allow MWM IARs to offer insurance products and services will pay a commission
or other compensation and involve a conflict of interest, as commissionable products conflict with the
fiduciary duties of an IAR. MWM and its IARs must act in the best interest of the client; including while
considering the offer of advice and sales of commissionable insurance products to advisory clients. Clients
are in no way required to utilize the services of any representative of MWM in connection with such
individual's activities outside of MWM.
Mosley Insurance & Financial Services (“MIFS”) is a related entity of MWM by the common ownership of
Mr. Felton Thomas Mosley. MIFS is an insurance agency, offering insurance products. MIFS will receive
commissions for insurance policies sold from the respective insurance companies. This presents a conflict
of interest since MIFS affiliates have an incentive to offer insurance products to receive commissions.
MWM is aware of this conflict and addresses it by fully disclosing the relationship and conflict, and making
sure that any recommendation is made exclusively in the best interests of their clients. Clients always have
the option of purchasing their insurance policies from other insurance agencies, whether or not they are
8
acting on the recommendation of someone acting through MIFS.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Our Code of Ethics establishes ideals for ethical conduct based upon fundamental principles of openness,
integrity, honesty, and trust. We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics to any client or prospective
client upon request.
Our Code of Ethics covers all staff, and it describes our high standard of business conduct and fiduciary
duty to our clients. The Code of Ethics includes, among other things, provisions relating to the
confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition on rumor mongering,
restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business
entertainment
items, and personal securities trading procedures. All supervised persons must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually or as amended.
MWM does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to MWM or
MWM has a material financial interest.
We may give advice and recommend securities to certain Clients that may differ from advice given to, or
securities recommended to, or bought or sold for, other Clients, even though their investment programs
may be the same or similar.
From time to time, representatives of MWM may buy or sell securities for themselves that they also
recommend to clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of MWM to buy or sell the
same securities before or after recommending the same securities to clients resulting in representatives
profiting from the recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions will create a conflict of
interest. MWM will always document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and
will never engage in trading that operates to the client’s disadvantage when similar securities are being
bought or sold. MWM’s CCO will monitor personal trading of representatives to ensure that if there is
trading in a security for both an adviser representative and a client on the same day, the client will always
get the best price.
MWM will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
We recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., (“Schwab”) and/or Fidelity Institutional (“Fidelity”) and
Altruist Financial, LLC as custodians for client assets (the “Custodians”). The Custodians are independent
broker/dealers and are not affiliated with MWM. The Custodians offer services to independently
registered investment advisors which include custody of securities, trade execution, and clearance and
settlement of transactions. We selected the Custodians to execute trades and custody accounts on the
basis of the variety of investments available through the platforms, the relatively low cost of transactions,
and for the ease of doing business.
Clients may select another custodian. Not all advisers would require or suggest that you use a particular
custodian. If you choose a different custodian, we may not be able to achieve the most favorable
execution of transactions. It may cost you more or less money. In particular, you may pay higher
brokerage commissions or receive less favorable prices.
We combine our orders into block trades if more than one account is participating in the trade. This
blocking or bunching technique must be equitable and potentially advantageous for each such account.
9
We engage in block trading when it is consistent with the duty to seek best execution and is consistent
with the terms of our investment advisory agreements.
Equity trades are blocked based upon fairness to client, both in the participation of their account, and in
the allocation of orders for the accounts of more than one client. Allocations of all orders are performed
in a timely and efficient manner. All managed accounts participating in a block execution receive the
same execution price (average share price) for the securities purchased or sold in a trading day.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
All Client accounts for MWM's advisory services provided on an ongoing basis are reviewed at least
quarterly by the Client’s assigned investment adviser representative, with regard to Clients’ respective
investment policies and risk tolerance levels. Accounts will be reviewed by our investment adviser
representatives. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or
by changes in client's financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move,
or inheritance).
Each client of MWM’s advisory services provided on an ongoing basis will receive a monthly report from
the custodian. Additionally, MWM will provide the Client with access to account information and reports
through an online client portal. Discrepancies between reports received from MWM and the statements
received from the qualified custodian(s) should be reported immediately to MWM.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of support product and services it makes
available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts at
Schwab. You do not pay more for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements.
However, we benefit from the referral arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise
be borne directly by us. You should consider this conflict of interest when selecting a custodian. The
products and services provided by Schwab, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are
described above (see Item 12- Brokerage Practices).
Item 15 – Custody
When advisory fees are deducted directly from client accounts at client's custodian, MWM will be deemed
to have limited custody of client's assets and must have written authorization from the client to do so. Your
custodian will send you no less than quarterly statements that show the deduction of your advisory fee.
Clients should review all statements carefully. If you also receive account statements from MWM, we urge
you to compare the account statements you receive from the qualified custodian with those you receive
from your MWM investment professional.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
MWM provides discretionary investment advisory services to clients. The advisory contract established
with each client sets forth the discretionary authority for trading. Where investment discretion has been
granted, MWM manages the client’s account and makes investment decisions without consultation with
the client as to when the securities are to be bought or sold for the account, the total amount of the
securities to be bought/sold, what securities to buy or sell, or the price per share. The firm also has
discretionary authority to determine the broker or dealer to be used for the purchase or sale of securities
10
for a client's account.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy, MWM and its IARs do not vote proxies on behalf of clients. MWM will not ask
for, nor accept voting authority for client securities. Clients will receive proxies directly from the issuer of
the security or the custodian. Clients should direct all proxy questions to the issuer of the security.
Item 18 – Financial Information
MWM neither requires nor solicits prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more
in advance. Neither MWM nor its management has any financial condition that is likely to reasonably
impair MWM’s ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. MWM has not been the subject of a
bankruptcy petition in the last ten years.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan – Client Disclosure Notice
MWM maintains a written Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan to safeguard client data and
other information and records from significant business disruptions such as data breaches, natural
disasters, and varying other unforeseen circumstances.
Privacy Policy
Your relationship with MWM is based on trust and confidence. To fulfill its responsibilities to you, MWM
requires that you provide current and accurate financial and personal information. You deserve to expect
that MWM will protect the information you have provided in a manner that is safe, secure, and
professional. MWM and its employees are committed to protecting your privacy and to safeguarding that
information.
Safeguarding Customer Documents
We collect non-public customer data in checklists, forms, in written notations, and in documentation
provided to us by our customers for evaluation, registration, licensing or related consulting services. We
also create internal lists of such data.
During regular business hours, access to customer records is monitored so that only those with approved
entitlements may access the files. During hours in which the company is not in operation, the customer
records will be secured.
No individual who is not so authorized shall obtain or seek to obtain personal and financial customer
information. No individual with authorization to access personal and financial customer information shall
share that information in any manner without the specific consent of a firm principal. Failure to observe
MWM procedures regarding customer and consumer privacy will result in disciplinary action and may
include termination.
Sharing Non-Public Personal and Financial Information
MWM is committed to the protection and privacy of its customers’ and consumers’ personal and financial
information. MWM will not share such information with any affiliated or nonaffiliated third party except:
• When necessary to complete a transaction in a customer account, such as with the clearing firm or
account custodians;
• When required to maintain or service a customer account;
•
To resolve customer disputes or inquiries;
11
• With persons acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of the customer;
• With rating agencies, persons assessing compliance with industry standards, or to the attorneys,
accountants and auditors of the firm;
•
•
•
•
In connection with a sale or merger of MWM’s business;
To protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud, identity theft, unauthorized transactions,
claims or other liability;
To comply with federal, state or local laws, rules and other applicable legal requirements;
In connection with a written agreement to provide investment management or advisory services
when the information is released for the sole purpose of providing the products or services covered
by the agreement;
In any circumstances with the customer’s instruction or consent; or
•
• Pursuant to any other exceptions enumerated in the California Information Privacy Act.
Opt-Out Provisions
It is not a policy of MWM to share non-public personal and financial information with affiliated or
unaffiliated third parties except under the circumstances noted above. Since sharing under the
circumstances noted above is necessary to service customer accounts or is mandated by law, there are no
allowances made for clients to “opt out”.
If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will adhere to the privacy policies
and practices as described in this notice. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time and you
will be notified if any changes do occur.
If you have any questions after reading this Privacy Policy, please contact us by writing to the address on
the first page of this Disclosure Brochure.
