About
Legacy Group primarily serves individual investors (and related entities of those clients) and offers fee-based financial planning, investor coaching, a one-time Portfolio MRI analysis, and co-advisor referrals to an unaffiliated registered investment adviser. The firm’s brochure discloses that it referred about $89.35 million to the recommended money manager across 228 clients and details negotiable co‑advisor fees as well as the flat Portfolio MRI charge.
Rather than acting as the primary portfolio manager, Legacy Group operates as an investor coach and co-adviser, referring clients to an unaffiliated manager and the Matson Fund Platform and directing custody to third‑party custodians such as Charles Schwab or Pershing. The brochure states the firm does not take custody or exercise trading discretion for client accounts; investment strategy and day‑to‑day management are handled by the recommended adviser, which employs a passive, diversified “Free Market Portfolio Theory” fund‑of‑funds approach.
Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include an unusually high client count for a single‑advisor independent firm (228 clients), the principal’s licensed insurance activities and separate compensation for insurance sales, and the firm’s explicit co‑adviser/non‑discretionary role that leaves it with no discretionary AUM while referring substantial assets to a third‑party manager. The brochure also provides the firm’s CRD number, contact details, and directs prospective clients to SEC adviserinfo and the firm website for additional materials.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
