Item 4 - Advisory Business
Acadia Legacy Group, LLC (“Adviser”) registered as an investment adviser in 2017 and provides
financial planning and asset management services. The Adviser is owned by Scott Snyder. Mr. Snyder
has been active in the industry since 1996. The Adviser offers consulting services, family office services
and personalized investment management services to individuals, retirement and profit-sharing plans,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. The Adviser is a fiduciary and is required to
act in a client’s best interest at all times.
Financial Planning Services
We provide Financial Planning services which include, but are not limited to, estate planning,
financial and retirement planning, insurance, taxes, investment strategies, and analysis of a client's
financial assets with recommendations for the selection and positioning of assets. The nature and
scope of services are decided at contract signing. As services are provided, consideration is given to
each client's risk tolerance, income needs and short- and long-term financial objectives and restrictions.
Financial Planning Services result in a report being provided to a client which may be in writing if
requested by the client. While services are being provided, clients are free to meet with their adviser at
any time.
Clients decide which investment recommendations to accept and implement. Clients are also free to
select any brokerage, insurance or other product provider to purchase (or sell) the investments,
insurance, or other products discussed with us. We do not guarantee results, and losses can occur
from receiving Financial Planning services.
Changes in client's financial condition, personal circumstances, goals, or general economic conditions
may trigger changes to the advice provided by us. To the extent that material changes have occurred
to a client's circumstances or goals, or to the extent a client requests us to address a new project, the
client may be asked to sign a new Financial Planning Retainer Agreement.
All Financial Planning services advice is based on information provided by the client. It is the client's
responsibility to be certain that we have current and accurate information.
Asset Management Services
We also offer Asset Management Service on a discretionary basis. This service begins with us assisting
each new client in defining the client's investment objectives. We then manage the client's assets in a
manner consistent with those objectives. Asset Management Services usually include ongoing
supervision of investment assets such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds,
warrants, municipal securities, government bonds, and cash and cash equivalents. Clients receive a
written report of securities in their managed portfolio each quarter from the Custodian.
The initial investment and asset allocation recommendations are based on the financial information
gathered from each client including net worth, risk tolerance, financial goals and objectives,
investment restrictions requested by the client and overall financial conditions. Based on this
information, each client is provided with initial investment recommendations designed to provide an
appropriate asset mix consistent with the client’s objectives and restrictions. The client’s portfolio and
its performance are monitored by us in light of the client’s stated objectives and restrictions. The
frequency of these reviews and transactions made for a client’s account are determined by us. We
typically meet with the client on an as-needed or as-requested basis to discuss the portfolio and other
aspects of the service. Clients are free to contact and/or meet with us at any time if they have questions
4
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
about their accounts.
As a general rule, we believe that investing is best suited to those who believe in a long-term, buy-and-
hold policy. Therefore, clients should not expect frequent investment changes in the portfolio.
However, as a result of monitoring the account, investment purchases and sales will be made.
Investments are not held by the Adviser. Instead, all investments managed by the Adviser are usually
held at the brokerage firm ("Custodian") through which transactions are placed.
The Adviser does not assure or guarantee the results of its Asset Management Services; thus, losses
can occur from following our advice pertaining to any investment or investment approach, including
using conservative investment strategies.
All advisory services are tailored specifically to the individual needs of the clients as described within
each service above. Clients may impose restrictions on investment in certain securities or types of
securities.
The Adviser shall never have physical custody of any client funds or securities, as the services of a
qualified and independent Custodian will be utilized for these asset management services.
Family Office Services
Subject to the mutual agreement between the client and the Adviser, and only when the needs and
complexities inherent in a specific client situation merit it, a separate agreement for family office
services may be contracted between the client and the Adviser. The breadth and form of family
office services varies widely according to the uniqueness of each client situation. These may include
but are not limited to administrative support, trust management services, consulting on separately
owned businesses or flow-through entities, entity management training and coordination, family
governance and decision-making, cash and liquidity management across multiple entities, 1031
exchanges, possible use of business property for charitable donations, and other issues which do not
fit accordingly under the investment management or financial planning services provided by the
Adviser.
Since the list of specific items included in this category varies widely according to each client’s
specific situation, each client will have a separately negotiated agreement more specifically
identifying these services and a mutually agreed upon annual retainer fee. Services in this category
can be very difficult to predict in timing, nature, and complexity, and are often subjective according
to client preference for support, advice and assistance across various financial needs. The Adviser
reviews all family office services agreements periodically, not less frequently than annually, to ensure
the client’s best interests and the Adviser’s fiduciary responsibility to the client are adequately
captured in the details of the agreement.
The Adviser does not offer or participate in a wrap fee program.
As of December 31, 2025, the firm manages $133,192,237 in client assets on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Fees paid to the Adviser are for the advisory services only. The fees do not include, for example, the
fees charged by third parties such as third-party managers, or accountants and attorneys assisting with
providing the client with accounting and legal advice. Fees on transactions and other account fees
5
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
will also be charged by brokerage firms in accordance with the account’s brokerage firm’s normal
schedule. See Item 12, Brokerage Practices.
Prospective clients should be aware that in addition to the advisory fees, each mutual fund in which a
client's assets are invested also pays its own advisory fees and other internal expenses which already
have been deducted from the fund's reported performance. Depending on the fund, a client may be
able to invest directly in the shares issued by the fund with or without incurring any sales or third-
party management fees. Account maintenance fees are also deducted by the Custodian.
In addition, there are tax effects pertaining to fund share redemptions, and other sales, made by the
Adviser on behalf of clients. Redemptions and sales are taxable events which may accelerate the
recognition of capital gains, and losses, and frequent redemptions and sales may result in short-term,
rather than long-term, capital gains and losses.
Clients should also be aware of the fact that different clients are charged different negotiated fees, thus
some clients pay more or less than others for similar services. Family members and employees of
those who work for the Adviser receive substantial fee discounts due to the family relationship. Client
fees for specific services may be charged in advance as described below.
Financial Planning Services Fee
The Adviser may charge a flat fee for Financial Planning services which varies from client to client.
Fees are quoted in advance and based upon the complexity of advisory services requested, number of
anticipated meetings and written reports, number of staff persons needed to complete a project and
other factors. Prior to engagement, each client signs a Financial Planning Agreement with the Adviser
which sets forth the total fee for services.
The Adviser may also charge an hourly rate which will vary from $100 to $350 per hour. A negotiated
down payment based upon the estimated number of hours per project is determined in advance of
services being provided.
After an initial analysis of the client's financial situation and needs is performed and an initial plan is
provided to a client, we make available continuing asset management services, on an asset-based fee
basis, designed to continue the advisory relationship to implement and monitor advice initially
provided.
The agreement between the Adviser and a client for Financial Planning services may be terminated
by either party at any time by notice to the other. Any unpaid Financial Planning Agreement fees are
due quarterly in arrears. Any prepaid unearned fee will be refunded to the client.
The decision to accept any recommendation or advice provided from consultations and all decisions
regarding implementation thereof are left to the client. Clients are free to implement recommended
transactions through broker-dealers and other service providers other than those recommended by the
Adviser. The Adviser does not guarantee the results of its recommendations and losses can occur
from the recommended investments.
6
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
Asset Management Services Fee
The Adviser charges its clients an annual investment management fee based on the following schedule:
Assets under management
Annual Fee
First $10 Million
0.75%
Amounts in excess of $10 Million & up to $25 Million
0.60%
Amounts in excess of $25 Million & up to $50 Million
0.50%
Amounts in excess of $50 Million
0.40%
The Adviser has waived or negotiated lower fees for certain clients and treats each client in a
customized way depending upon their unique situation. The fee is payable either monthly or quarterly
in arrears upon commencement of services. No more than $1,200 is billed more than six months in
advance. The fee may be waived in whole or in part by the Adviser in its sole discretion. Financial
Planning Services may be terminated by either party upon notice. Any prepaid unearned fee will be
refunded to the client.
Family Office Services Fee
The Adviser also offers family office services for its clients upon request. The fee for this service is a
flat fee amount agreed on by the client. Our current range is from $10,000 to $350,000; however, each
client’s fee for this service is different and is based on the specific needs and factors involved.
Therefore, a client’s fee may be outside of this range. The Adviser does not directly debit this family
office fee from a client account. This retainer will be billed quarterly on a separate invoice, and is due
in our office within 30 days after receipt by the client. The family office fee is sent via invoice at the
end of each calendar quarter, covering the prior three-month period. When the services period is for
less than a full year, pro rata amounts will be calculated and invoiced, but in no case will any invoice
represent pre-payment of fees of $1,200, six months or more in advance. Either party has the right to
terminate this agreement, and in the event of termination, the annual fee will be prorated, and either
a partial payment will be due, or amounts already paid will be refunded, whichever is appropriate.
The Adviser's fee does not include transaction execution costs, custodial fees or other costs.
Although the Adviser believes its fee is competitive, clients may be able to find similar services at
higher or lower costs. Also, there can be no assurance that transactions effected through us result in
the lowest per transaction cost possible to a client.
Asset Management Fees payable to the Adviser are, with the client’s prior permission, automatically
deducted from the client’s account when due. The client will receive reports from the account’s
custodian showing the fee amounts debited. The Adviser will liquidate money market shares to pay
the fee and, if money market shares or cash value are not available, other investments will be
liquidated. Authorization for the deduction of fees from the managed account is contained in the
Agreement. The client may terminate the authorization for automatic deduction at any time by
notifying the Adviser in writing.
In the event of trading errors caused by the Adviser employees, it is the Adviser’s policy to make its
clients whole and to document errors in its trade error file. Any Adviser created trade errors that result
in a loss to a client will be debited against the Adviser’s error account and the client made whole. Any
Adviser created trade errors that result in a gain to a client, and the gain can be attributed to a client,
the client is entitled to keep the gain. If the Adviser makes a trade error that results in a gain to a client
7
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
and the gain cannot be attributable to a particular client, Schwab, and not the Adviser, keeps the gain.
In that case, if the gain is more than $100, Schwab will donate the gain to charity. If the gain is less
than $100, Schwab will keep the gain to offset its administrative time and expense.
Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
The Adviser does not charge any performance-based fees.
Item 7 – Types of Clients/Minimum Account Size
The Adviser makes its advisory services available to a wide variety of clients including, but not limited
to, individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations
and other business entities.
The Adviser usually does not require a minimum account size before accepting accounts for its various
management services.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
The Adviser’s security analysis methods include, but are not limited to, fundamental analysis
(evaluating securities based upon their historical and projected future cash flows). All securities
analysis methods and strategies, even those used by the Adviser may involve a high degree of risk and
losses can occur.
The Adviser’s main sources of information include, but are not limited to, subscription-based online
data services, financial newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by others, corporate
rating services, timing services, annual reports, prospectuses, public filings and company press
releases.
The Adviser does not guarantee the results of the advice given. Thus, significant losses can occur by
investing in any security, or by following any strategy, including those recommended or applied by
the Adviser.
The Adviser may recommend traditional exchange-traded funds (“ETF”). ETF shares are bought and
sold at market price unlike mutual funds. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks.
While the Adviser does not recommend Bitcoin or other digital assets as part of its investment
strategies, it may provide advice to clients who elect to maintain limited exposure to such assets.
Bitcoin and other digital assets are highly volatile and speculative investments that can experience
rapid and substantial price changes, evolving regulatory and tax treatment, cybersecurity and custody
vulnerabilities, operational failures, limited liquidity, and valuation uncertainty. Clients should
understand that holding Bitcoin and other digital assets involves a heightened risk of significant or
total loss of value and may not be appropriate for all investors.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
The Adviser does not have any disciplinary information to report regarding itself or any of its
counselors or other related persons.
8
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The Adviser is not involved in any other financial industry activities nor does it have any financial
industry affiliations that are material to its advisory business.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
The Adviser and its employees may buy and sell securities that they recommend to advisory clients
for purchase and sale. To the extent possible, the firm and its employees will process securities
transactions for client accounts ahead of similar transactions contemplated for their own accounts.
To ensure employee transactions are supervised, we have established a Code of Ethics designed to
prevent conflicts of interest. Under the requirements of the Code, each Adviser employee is required
to file personal transaction reports regularly for transactions in accounts in which they have a
beneficial interest. In addition, certain types of transactions for employee personal accounts require
preapproval and certain types of transactions are prohibited. A complete copy of the Adviser’s Code
of Ethics is available upon request.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Custodians and Brokers Adviser Recommends
The Adviser does not maintain physical custody of client assets that it manages, although the Adviser
may be deemed to have custody of client assets if clients give Adviser authority to withdraw assets
from client accounts. Client assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian”,
generally a broker-dealer. The Adviser recommends that clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian.
Clients have no obligation to use Schwab and may choose another broker-dealer or vendor. The
Adviser is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with any third-party broker-dealers.
Client’s broker-dealer will hold client assets in an account and buy and sell securities when Adviser or
client instructs them to do so. While the Adviser may recommend that clients use Schwab as their
custodian, clients will decide whether to do so and will open their account with Schwab by entering
into an account agreement directly with Schwab. The Adviser does not open the account for the client,
although the Adviser may assist the client in doing so.
How Adviser Recommends Brokers/Custodians
The Adviser seeks to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold client assets and execute
transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other available
providers and their services. The Adviser considers a wide range of factors, including, among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for client accounts)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded
funds, etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist in making investment decisions
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other
9
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Quality of services and prior experience with other clients
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Availability of other products and services that benefit Adviser, as discussed below
Client Brokerage and Custody Costs
For client accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge clients separately for
custody services but is compensated by charging commissions or fees on trades that it executes or that
settle into client Schwab accounts. In addition to transaction-related fees, Schwab charges clients a
flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that the Adviser has executed
by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are
deposited (settled) into client Schwab accounts. These fees are in addition to the transaction-related
fees or other compensation clients pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to
minimize client trading costs, the Adviser has Schwab execute most trades in client accounts. The
Adviser has determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with the Adviser’s duty
to seek “best execution” of client trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a
transaction based on all relevant factors.
Products and Services Available From Schwab
Schwab Advisor ServicesTM is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like
the Adviser. Schwab provides Adviser and Adviser’s clients with access to its institutional brokerage
– trading, custody, reporting, and related services – many of which are not typically available to
Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services to Adviser that may
help Adviser manage or administer Adviser’s client accounts. Schwab’s support services generally are
available on an unsolicited basis (Adviser does not have to request them) and at no charge to Adviser.
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits Adviser because Adviser does not have to
produce or purchase them. It also is a benefit to Adviser because it is operationally more efficient for
Adviser to have clients at one custodian.
Schwab also offers other services to Adviser intended to help manage and further develop Adviser’s
business enterprise. These services generally only benefit the Adviser and include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology and business needs
• Consulting on legal and related compliance needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
• Marketing consulting and support
Schwab provides some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to Adviser. Schwab also discounts or waives its fees for some of these services or
pays all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab also provides Adviser with other benefits, such as
occasional business entertainment of our personnel. If clients did not maintain their accounts with
Schwab, the Adviser would be required to pay for these services from Adviser’s own resources. This
is a conflict of interest. Adviser believes, however, that taken in the aggregate, Adviser’s
recommendation of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interest of clients.
10
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
When placing orders for more than one client account, the Adviser portfolio manager may decide to
aggregate similar purchase or sale orders in the same security for several accounts resulting in an
average price being applied to each client account participating in the aggregate order.
In the event of trading errors caused by the Adviser employees, it is the Adviser’s policy to make its
clients whole and to document errors in its trade error file. Any Adviser created trade errors that result
in a loss to a client will be debited against the Adviser’s error account and the client made whole. Any
Adviser created trade errors that result in a gain to a client, and the gain can be attributed to a client,
the client is entitled to keep the gain. If the Adviser makes a trade error that results in a gain to a client
and the gain cannot be attributable to a particular client, Schwab, and not the Adviser, keeps the gain.
In that case, if the gain is more than $100, Schwab will donate the gain to charity. If the gain is less
than $100, Schwab will keep the gain to offset its administrative time and expense.
Adviser also uses other custodians as requested by clients, which could result in clients paying more
in custodial fees and transaction charges. For example, a client that trades at a custodian other than
Schwab may not be able to participate in an aggregated trade.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts and Reports
Managed accounts are reviewed on a day-to-day basis as deemed necessary by Mr. Snyder. Clients
will receive a quarterly report from the Custodian identifying the securities in their portfolio and the
value of those securities. We will review any aspect of a client's account when asked to do so. There
are no restrictions on the ability of clients to contact and consult with us any time they wish regarding
the content of any the Custodian report or any aspect of their account.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
The Adviser does not currently have any client referral relationships. Thus, it does not pay any fee to
a third party for making client referrals to it. Also, as indicated above, the firm does not direct
brokerage transactions to any third party, including Schwab, in return for client referrals. See Item 12
Brokerage Practices for a discussion of economic benefits received from Schwab.
Item 15 – Custody
The Adviser does not take physical custody of client funds or securities. Clients will receive account
statements from the custodian and should carefully review those statements. With client permission,
we direct deduct fees from client accounts. Our clients may have standing letters of authorization on
their accounts. We have reviewed those relationships and determined that they meet the IAA no
action letter seven conditions and do not trigger the surprise custody audit.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
The Adviser primarily manages client accounts on a discretionary basis. When the client signs the
Investment Management Agreement, the client authorizes the Adviser to affect exchanges between
the specific investments in accordance with the Adviser’s buy or sell decisions, without Client’s prior
approval. Clients will also complete the required forms with the Custodian to grant this access.
Normally, this is part of the Custodian’s account application.
11
Acadia Legacy Group – Form ADV Part 2A and 2B – March 16, 2026
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
The Adviser does not vote proxies on behalf of clients who will receive such notices from their
account’s custodian.
The Adviser also does not take any action on legal notices it or a client may receive from issuers of
securities held in a client’s managed account. However, it is available to answer questions regarding
such notices.
Item 18 - Financial Information
The Adviser does not receive fees of more than $1,200 six months or more in advance. As an advisory
firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts and is deemed to have custody, we are
also required to disclose any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet
our contractual obligations. The Adviser has no additional financial circumstances to report.
