About
Legend Financial Advisors, Inc. serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, nonprofits, and corporate entities, providing discretionary investment management, financial planning, retirement-plan consulting (including 3(38) services), sub‑advisory arrangements, and general consulting. The firm manages about $390 million in discretionary assets and supports clients through a three-advisor team that serves roughly 215 accounts, according to its Form ADV.
The firm implements proprietary, tactically managed portfolios and uses a mix of fundamental, technical, cyclical and economic analysis to construct and rebalance strategies tailored to each client’s risk tolerance, time horizon and tax circumstances. Legend typically accepts discretionary authority, conducts ongoing monitoring with formal annual reviews and provides quarterly performance reporting and client communications as part of its management process.
Compared with many peers, Legend discloses several less-common practices in its ADV: it uses a third‑party platform (Pontera) to view and manage held‑away participant accounts without custody, offers to act as an ERISA 3(38) manager for qualified plans, and serves as a sub‑advisor to other advisers. The brochure also indicates the firm’s marketing and client‑education activities extend beyond routine reporting — including published performance reporting, hypothetical-performance disclosures, client testimonials, and periodic educational communications or events — practices that are statistically uncommon among similar supported firms.

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
