Moseley Investment Management is an investment advisor providing financial planning, consulting and
investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, estates, and business entities.
These services include review of all aspects of your current financial situation with emphasis on income
planning, estate planning, insurance planning, investment planning, retirement planning and capital needs
planning. To the extent other services are needed, we will assist you in those areas in which it is competent to
advise.
Initial Consultation:
The initial step in the financial planning process involves a meeting or meetings with you for the purpose of
defining the scope of the engagement. At this time, through an in-depth interview we will gather your
background information about your financial circumstances, investment objectives, and risk tolerance among
other things Once defined, we will enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement, disclosing the terms and the
fees to be charged.
As a follow up, we will also help you coordinate the implementation of any recommendations made, including
referral to other practicing professionals whose services may be required.
Portfolio Management Services:
Portfolio Management Services include the provision of continuous advice to you or investing your account
based on your particular circumstances using individual stocks, exchanged traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds,
bonds and/ or options. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on your particular
circumstances are established, we develop a strategy and create and manage a portfolio based on that strategy.
During our data-gathering process, we determine your individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and
liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss your prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background. We design portfolios based on your objectives and needs determined in the
financial planning process.
We communicate with you on an ongoing basis to see if your objectives, goals, and financial needs have
changed. If there have been significant changes, we discuss updating their plans and their portfolios. We offer
Portfolio Management Services on a discretionary or “non-discretionary basis, (see Item 16, Investment
Discretion). When acting on a discretionary basis, this means we will buy and sell investments in your account
as appropriate without requiring your pre-approval prior to each transaction. When acting on a non-
discretionary basis, you will make the final decision on their investments. As part of our standard services, we
monitor positions in your accounts on an ongoing basis and conduct account reviews at least annually.
Managed Portfolios:
The primary investments in our Managed Portfolios are individual securities and/or Exchange Traded Funds
(ETF) that meet your objectives. For certain clients, option strategies may be suitable. We mainly sell cash
secured puts and covered calls on large US companies to generate income and buy and sell securities. Once we
construct an investment portfolio we will monitor the performance on an ongoing basis and will rebalance the
portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and in your financial condition.
For the managed portfolios, block trades will be completed and then allocated to individual accounts. For each
account that we include in the block trade, we must reasonably believe that the block order is consistent with
our duty to seek best execution and may benefit each client participating in the aggregated order. The average
price per share of each block trade is allocated to
each account that participates in the block trade. Accounts
that participate in the same block trade could be charged transaction costs in accordance with their advisory
contracts. If a block order cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation.
Partial fills will be allocated in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular client
accounts and are generally filled pro-rata among participating accounts.
Personal Asset Allocation:
We may personalize a portfolio based on your individual needs and suitability. You may also request
restrictions on an account, such as when you need to keep a minimum level of cash or do not want us to buy or
sell certain specific securities or security types in the account. These accounts are opened and maintained
according to the Investment Advisory Agreement which describes the discretionary authority that you grant to
us.
Estate and Inheritance Planning
As part of our Investment Management Services, we offer Estate and Inheritance Planning. This is a benefit we
offer to all clients. If you decide to elect the service, there will be a 1 – 2-hour meeting with the estate attorney
to clarify you and your family desired needs and outcomes. You will receive an outline of the steps to achieve
your goals.
Third-Party Money Managers:
We sometimes choose to enter into agreements with third-party investment advisers for the provision of asset
allocation and similar advisory services.
When we feel it is necessary, a representative may provide personal advisory services to you in the selection of
a particular third-party advisory service. Factors considered in selecting third-party advisory service may
include but are not necessarily limited to:
● Each individual representative’s preference for a particular third-party
advisory service.
● The client’s risk tolerance, goals, and objectives, as well as investment experience
● The amount of client assets available for investment
All securities transactions will be decided upon and executed by the third-party advisory service. Our
recommendation will be made after considering relevant and applicable information about your financial
situation including but not limited to investment objectives, reasonable restrictions, your wants imposed on the
management of your account, and assessed risk based upon your assets that constitute your net worth.
Third-party Money Managers account minimums and fees are disclosed in each respective manager’s Form ADV
and associated paperwork.
Termination of third-party money managers are disclosed in each respective manager agreement.

We provide a variety of financial consulting services at an hourly rate for those who do not desire ongoing
portfolio management services. Our consulting services may address general financial matters or be focused on
particular issues, depending upon your needs. Topics may range from overall investment advisory questions,

objectives, 529 college savings plans, analysis and management of employer’s benefit plans, and various other
