Mozaic was founded in 2007 and is wholly owned by Christopher J. Zyda. Mozaic
provides comprehensive and customized wealth management services to ultra high net
worth individuals and families, charitable foundations, and companies. Mozaic works
closely and jointly with its clients to assess their budgetary and cash flow needs, long-term
financial goals, investment risk tolerances and other factors that may impact their
investment portfolio. Mozaic then recommends and implements a custom and diversified
investment strategy for the client. High-touch and personally tailored customer service is
Mozaic’s hallmark. Furthermore, Mozaic’s advice is objective and free from the inherent
conflicts of interest in wealth management solutions provided by broker/dealers, banks,
insurance companies, and commission-based investment management firms.
Mozaic implements its investment recommendations primarily through third-party
investment managers (separate accounts and mutual funds), limited partnerships and
limited liability companies that manage accounts on a discretionary basis. All accounts
managed by third-party investment managers, limited partnerships, and limited liability
companies are done pursuant to separate investment management, partnership or limited
liability company agreements. Mozaic provides ongoing monitoring of each client's asset
allocation and portfolio performance, and recommends changes to the client as appropriate.
Mozaic does not have, and will not accept, the custody of clients' funds or securities.
In performing its services, Mozaic is not required to verify any information received from
the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorney, accountant, etc.) and is
expressly authorized to rely on such information. Clients are
advised that it remains their
responsibility to promptly notify Mozaic if there is ever any change in their financial
situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising
Mozaic’s previous recommendations and/or services.
Mozaic manages assets directly for clients only on a very limited and case-by-case basis.
In such cases, Mozaic recommends to and discusses with clients the types and amounts of
assets or securities to be bought and sold, but the client makes the ultimate purchase or sale
determination; therefore, Mozaic has no discretion over client assets. The scope of services
provided is addressed in each client's Wealth Management Advisory Agreement.
Mozaic also provides consulting and corporate finance advisory services to clients, and
specializes in the finance challenges of financial turnaround situations and of early-stage
venture capital and growth companies.
Where appropriate for the client's investment objectives, Mozaic can identify limited
partnership and/or limited liability investment opportunities for the client. Types of limited
partnership and limited liability company investment strategies used may include private
equity, venture capital, real estate, oil and gas, bank debt, distressed bonds, high-yield fixed
income, mortgage-backed securities, peer-to-peer lending, merger arbitrage, real assets,
hedge funds, and other opportunistic investment strategies. These types of investment
strategies, if used at all for clients, are implemented in a diversified fashion.
Mozaic also provides advice on management equity incentive plans, including stock
options, restricted stock, and large single-stock ownership positions.
As of January 1, 2024, Mozaic had $3,636,302,344 of assets under management.
