Mr. Moseley’s profile explains that he is on the firm’s investment committee. “As our portfolio manager, he is head of the security selection process, financial planning, and determining financial strategies for all of our clients,” it states. “As our economist, Ryan provides research on individual companies as well as current economic and political events affecting market movements.”
