Mariner, a national financial services firm, has launched Mosaic Value Partners, a $1.3 billion wealth management firm founded by John Buckingham, Jason Clark, and Christopher Quigley through its Mariner Independent platform. The firm commenced operations on April 24 and represents the largest firm to debut on Mariner Independent to date, supported by three additional team members, including two licensed professionals.
Mosaic Value Partners is built on a value-investing foundation, combined with a holistic wealth management model. The founding team had previously developed a widely followed investment research publication reaching tens of thousands of subscribers through weekly commentaries, monthly market updates, and long-form investment research. As part of the launch, the team plans to rebuild this platform under the name Value Investor Perspectives.
The launch reflects the team’s intent to reestablish an independent operating model while broadening the scope of services delivered to clients. Through Mariner Independent, Mosaic Value Partners gains access to integrated capabilities, including advanced planning, estate and tax strategies, insurance solutions, and operational support from an in-house team of specialists. The platform is designed to allow advisors to scale their businesses and operate with greater autonomy while delivering more comprehensive advice.
KEY QUOTES:
“Advisors today are looking for partners that understand the complexity of their business and can support where they’re going, not just where they’ve been. Mosaic Value Partners brings together a disciplined investment philosophy with a differentiated client engagement model, and we’re proud to support their next chapter as they build an independent firm designed for long-term growth.”
Rob Sandrew, Head, Mariner Independent
“We serve our clients through a research-backed, value-oriented investment philosophy and have built strong, personal relationships along the way. As we considered our next phase of growth, it was important to find a partner that could support that foundation while giving us the resources to expand and evolve. Mariner Independent provides the infrastructure and capabilities we need without changing who we are.”
John Buckingham, Co-Founder, Mosaic Value Partners
