If you have any questions regarding the contents of this Disclosure Brochure, please do not hesitate
to contact the Advisor’s Chief Compliance Officer, Keith Krueger by telephone at (501) 376-7878
or by email at keithk@legacycapitalwp.com.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Legacy Capital provides holistic and personalized financial planning and discretionary and non-
discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families,
family offices, trusts, estates, businesses, charitable foundations, nonprofit organizations and
retirement/profit-sharing plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations.
As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client
and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Legacy Capital’s fiduciary commitment is
further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of
Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Legacy Capital offers financial planning and consulting services to Clients. Such engagements
may be part of the investment advisory engagement or pursuant to a separate engagement.
Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to: cash flow
analysis, investment planning, retirement planning, estate planning, personal savings, educational
savings, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. Clients are encouraged, but are not
required, to engage Legacy Capital for financial planning or consulting services.
A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will typically
include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the
Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment
4
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable
giving programs. Legacy Capital may recommend the services of itself and/or other professionals
to implement its recommendations. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists if Legacy
Capital recommends its own services, as such a recommendation may increase the advisory fees
paid to Legacy Capital. The Client is under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations
made by Legacy Capital under a financial planning or consulting engagement to engage the
services of any such recommended professional, including Legacy Capital itself.
Investment Management Services
Legacy Capital focuses on providing objective and holistic advice to Clients. In designing and
implementing customized portfolio strategies, Legacy Capital can manage, on a discretionary or
non-discretionary basis, a broad range of investment strategies and vehicles. Legacy Capital
primarily allocates Client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
alternative investments, options, and individual debt and equity securities in accordance with the
Client’s stated investment objectives.
Legacy Capital may further recommend to Clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio
be managed on a discretionary basis by one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment
platforms (“External Managers”). The Client may be required to enter into a separate agreement
with the External Manager[s], which will set forth the terms and conditions of the Client’s
engagement of the External Manager, or will receive a Statement of Investment Selection in a
single contract relationship. Legacy Capital generally renders services to the Client relative to the
discretionary selection of External Manager[s]. Legacy Capital also assists in establishing the
Client’s investment objectives for the assets managed by External Manager[s], monitors and
reviews the account performance and defines any restrictions on the account. The investment
management fees charged by the designated External Manager[s], together with the fees charged
by the corresponding designated broker-dealer/custodian of the Client’s assets, may be exclusive
of, and in addition to, the annual advisory fee charged by Legacy Capital.
Comprehensive Management Services
Based on the needs and objectives of the Client, Legacy may provide additional services and
work closely with their respective accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate to
manage their unique situation, as needed, pursuant to the investment management agreement.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding
ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a
fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide
investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to
5
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one
ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to
another account (e.g., commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation
creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee
as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to
an account managed by the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Legacy Capital provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans
(each a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory
services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan
and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan
Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Investment Management
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Legacy Capital serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with
ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Legacy
Capital’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect
compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client-Tailored Advisory Services
Legacy Capital seeks to provide personalized, tailored advisory services designed to meet the
specific needs of each Client. Legacy Capital works collaboratively with its Clients, and any of its
Clients’ outside advisors, including lawyers, accountants, and tax advisors, to meet its Clients’
goals. Client portfolios are managed on the basis of individual Clients’ financial situation and
investment objectives. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their
accounts if Legacy Capital determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions would not
materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome for
Legacy Capital’s management efforts.

Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
D. Wrap Fee Programs
For certain client relationships, Legacy includes securities transaction fees, custodial costs,
administrative fees, wire fees, trade away transactions, other fees and expenses (herein “Covered
Costs) together with its investment advisory fees. Including these fees into a single asset-based
fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor customizes its investment management
services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the Legacy Wrap Fee Program solely as a
supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Depending on the level of trading
required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total
fees than if the Client paid its own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program
Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Legacy Capital manages approximately $1,317,812,779 in Client
assets, of which $1,077,426,065 are managed on a discretionary basis and $240,386,714 on a non-
discretionary basis.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
A. Fee Schedule for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Legacy Capital charges an annual advisory fee that is agreed upon with each Client and set forth
in an agreement executed by Legacy Capital and the Client. Legacy Capital and any Client may,
however, agree to adjust the fee annually or on a more frequent basis.
Legacy Capital’s fee for investment advisory services is negotiable and varies based on a multitude
of factors, including, but not limited to, the size of the relationship and the nature and complexity
of the products and investments involved, service intensity, degree of custom work, time
requirement, number of entities, number of family members served and travel requirements. The
fee can be based on a percentage of assets under management or a fixed dollar amount. If based
on a percentage of the value of assets under management, the fee generally ranges between 0.50%
and 1.50% annually of the Client’s net billable assets under management. If based on a percentage
of the value of assets under management, the initial advisory fee for the first calendar quarter (or
part thereof) in which the Client enters into an advisory agreement with Legacy Capital shall be
calculated on the day after initial assets are placed with Legacy Capital and shall be the advisory
fee for the first calendar quarter (or part thereof). The initial advisory fee for any partial quarter is
payable on a pro rata basis based on the number of calendar days in the partial quarter and is paid
in the month following the establishment of the Client account. For subsequent quarters, the
advisory fee generally is payable in advance (except for services to participant-directed 401k plans,
7
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
which are payable either in advance or arrears, depending on the terms of the agreement), based
on the market value of assets under management on the last business day of the prior calendar
quarter. If a fixed dollar amount, the advisory fee for the initial quarter is payable, on a pro rata
basis, in arrears. For subsequent quarters, the fixed fee generally is payable in advance. All
securities held in accounts managed by Legacy Capital will be independently valued by the
Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure
accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and
custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described below, which may be incurred by
the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and
costs.
Legacy Capital generally requires a minimum balance of assets under management per household
of $500,000; this requirement may be waived solely in the discretion of the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
Legacy Capital offers its Clients financial planning services for a fixed fee. Clients enter into a
separate agreement with Legacy Capital for financial planning services. The standard fee for such
services ranges from $2,500 to $10,000; the actual fee charged varies, based upon amount, type
and nature of the Client’s assets and liabilities involved, the number of family members, travel
commitments scope of work, and specific requests made by the Client. The Client is required to
pay one-half of the fee up-front prior to the commencement of work on the financial plan; the
remainder is due after the financial plan is completed. Legacy Capital generally waives the
remaining fee if the Client enters into an advisory relationship with the Advisor. Legacy Capital
reserves the right to charge a financial planning fee greater than $10,000 based on factors that
include, but are not limited to, the amount, type and nature of the Client’s assets and liabilities
involved, the number of family members, travel commitments scope of work, and specific requests
made by the Client. For any services that will be completed six (6) months or more in advance,
Legacy Capital will only collect advance fees of up to $1,200.
Legacy Capital also offers its Clients consulting services on a flat fee basis negotiated by Legacy
Capital and the Client. The fee varies depending on the services provided and the experience,
knowledge, and skill of those performing the services on behalf of Legacy Capital. The scope and
charges of all work must be agreed-upon in writing by Legacy Capital and the Client before any
billing begins.

Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.50% and
are billed quarterly, and may be billed in advance or arrears (the “Billing Period”), pursuant to the
terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan fees are based on the market value
of assets under management at the end of the respective Billing Period. Fees may be negotiable
depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.
B. Payment of Fees
Investment Management Services
Legacy Capital generally deducts its advisory fee from a Client’s investment account[s] held at the
custodian. Upon engaging Legacy Capital to manage such account[s], a Client grants Legacy
Capital this limited authority through a written instruction to the custodian of the Client’s
account[s]. The Client is responsible to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the advisory fee;
the custodian will not determine whether the fee is accurate or properly calculated. The fee
generally is billed on a quarterly basis in advance of each calendar quarter, except the services to
participant-directed 401k plans that are billed either in advance or in arrears depending on the
terms of the agreement. A Client may utilize the same procedure for financial planning or
consulting fees in arrears or in advance if the Client has investment accounts held at a custodian.
Although Clients generally are required to have their investment advisory fees deducted from their
accounts, in some cases, Legacy Capital will directly bill a Client for investment advisory fees if
it determines that such billing arrangement is appropriate given the circumstances.
The custodian of the Client’s account[s] provides each Client with a statement, at least quarterly,
indicating separate line items for all amounts disbursed from the Client's account[s], including any
fees paid directly to Legacy Capital.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to Legacy
Capital’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the
Advisor reserves the right to liquidate transferred securities or decline to accept particular
securities into a Client’s account. Clients may withdraw account assets at any time on notice to
Legacy Capital, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the
Advisor generally designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may
impair the achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. Legacy Capital may consult with its
Clients about the options and implications of transferring securities. Clients are advised that when
transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, short-term redemption
fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g. contingent deferred sales charges) and/or tax
ramifications.

Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon
execution of the financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the
agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the
assets of the Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
For assets in the Legacy Wrap Fee Program, Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed
by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s].
Legacy includes Covered Costs as part of its overall investment advisory fee through the Legacy
Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be charged back to
the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
For assets not in the Legacy Wrap Fee Program, in addition to Legacy Capital’s advisory fee,
Clients will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the custodian[s], underlying mutual funds,
External Managers and their platform manager (if any), transfer taxes, odd lot differentials,
exchange fees, interest charges, ADR processing fees, and any charges, taxes or other fees
mandated by any federal, state or other applicable law, retirement plan account fees (where
applicable), electronic fund and wire fees. Clients should review the applicable prospectuses for
additional information about fund fees and expenses. Legacy Capital’s recommended Custodian
does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client’s accounts,
provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage
requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of
investments. For External Managers, Clients should review each manager’s Form ADV 2A
disclosure brochure and either the contract they sign with the External Manager (in a dual contract
relationship) or their Statement of Investment Selection (in a single contract relationship) for
additional information about fees and expenses charged.
D. Prepayment of Fees
Investment Management Services
As noted in Item 5(B) above, Legacy Capital’s advisory fees generally are paid in advance. Either
party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within
five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-
10
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of
termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the
quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without
the Client’s prior consent. Upon the termination of a Client’s advisory relationship, Legacy Capital
will issue a refund equal to any unearned management fee for the remainder of the quarter. The
Client may specify how he/she would like such refund issued (i.e., a check sent directly to the
Client or a check sent to the Client’s custodian for deposit into his/her account).
Financial Planning Services
Legacy Capital requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the
financial planning agreement by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may
also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the
Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges
for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for the percentage of the
engagement scope completed by the Advisor. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid
planning fees from the effective date of termination. The Client’s financial planning agreement with
the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Legacy Capital is compensated for its services at the beginning or the end of the quarter in which
retirement plan advisory services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan
advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. Upon
termination, the Client shall be responsible for investment advisory fees up to and including the
effective date of termination. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory
fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan
advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Outside Compensation for Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products to Clients
Legacy Capital does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Certain representatives who provide investment advice to Clients (our “Advisory Persons”) may
also be registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, Inc. (“PKS”) a FINRA-
registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC.
11
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
An Advisory Person who is a registered representative of PKS will implement securities
transactions on a commission basis through PKS. In such instances, the Advisory Person will
receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, as
well as a share of any ongoing distribution or service (trail) fees, including 12b-1 fees for the sale
of investment company products. Compensation earned by the Advisory Person in his or her
capacity as a registered representative is separate from and in addition to Legacy Capital’s advisory
fee. The receipt of such compensation by an Advisory Person presents a conflict of interest as an
Advisory Person who is a registered representative may have an incentive to effect securities
transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on Client needs.
To mitigate these conflicts, Clients are under no obligation to purchase securities products through
PKS or Advisory Persons who are registered representatives or otherwise engage such persons and
may choose brokers or agents not affiliated with Legacy Capital or PKS. Further, Legacy Capital
will not charge an ongoing investment advisory fee on assets purchased by a Client through an
Advisory Person acting in their capacity as a registered representative.
Certain Advisory Persons of Legacy Capital are also be licensed as insurance professionals through
Legacy Capital Group Arkansas, LLC. Such persons earn commission-based compensation for
selling insurance products to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by Advisory Persons who are
insurance professionals are separate from and in addition to Legacy Capital’s advisory fee. This
practice presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory Person who is an insurance professional may
have an incentive to recommend insurance products for the purpose of generating commissions
rather than solely based on Client needs. Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance
products through any person affiliated with Legacy Capital.
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Legacy Capital does not charge performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side
management. Performance-based fees are fees that are based on a share of a capital gains or capital
appreciation of a Client’s account. Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing
accounts that are charged performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that
are not charged performance-based fees. Legacy Capital’s fees are calculated as described in Item
5 above.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Legacy Capital offers personalized investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth
individuals, families, family offices, trusts, businesses, charitable foundations, nonprofit
organizations and retirement/profit-sharing plans. Legacy Capital generally requires a minimum
balance of assets under management per household of $500,000; this requirement may be waived
solely in the discretion of the Advisor.
12
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC

Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Risk of Loss
A primary step in Legacy Capital’s investment strategy is getting to know the Clients – to
understand the Client’s financial condition, risk profile, investment goals, tax situation, liquidity
constraints – and assemble a complete picture of their financial situation. To aid in this
understanding, Legacy Capital offers Clients financial planning services to its Clients that is highly
customized and tailored. This comprehensive, holistic approach is integral to the way that Legacy
Capital does business. Once Legacy Capital has a true understanding of its Clients’ needs and
goals, the investment process can begin, and the Advisor can recommend strategies and
investments that it believes are aligned with the Client’s goals and risk profile.
Legacy Capital primarily employs fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for its
Clients. Research and analysis from Legacy Capital is based on numerous sources, including third-
party research materials and publicly-available materials, such as company annual reports,
prospectuses, and press releases.
Legacy Capital generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, if consistent
with their financial goals. Legacy Capital will typically hold all or a portion of a securities position
for more than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or
meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, the Advisor may also buy and sell positions that are
more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the
security, sector or asset class.
Client portfolios with similar investment objectives and asset allocation goals may own different
securities and investments. The Client’s portfolio size, tax sensitivity, desire for simplicity, income
needs, long-term wealth transfer objectives, time horizon and choice of custodian are all factors
that influence Legacy Capital’s investment recommendations.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss. A Client can lose all or a substantial portion of his/her
investment. A Client should be willing to bear such a loss. Some investments are intended only
for sophisticated investors and can involve a high degree of risk.
B. Material Risks Involved
All investments and investment programs have a variety of risks that are borne by the investor. As
such, there can be no assurance that any investment strategy will prove profitable or successful. A
Client can lose all or a substantial portion of his/her investment. A Client should be willing to bear
such a loss. Some investments are intended only for sophisticated investors and can involve a high
degree of risk.
13
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
The following risks could cause equities, fixed-income securities, mutual funds, ETFs, alternative
investments, and other investments in Client portfolios to decrease in value:
• Market Risk: The price of an equity security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors
independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, changes in
political, economic and social conditions may trigger adverse market events.
• ETF Risk: The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss
of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying
securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss
of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a
large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon
the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or
the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day
may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
• Mutual Fund Risk: The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including
the possible loss of principal. The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value
of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is
typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically
have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate.
For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive,
causing their market values to decline.
• Event Risk: An adverse event affecting a particular company or that company’s industry
could depress the price of a Client’s investments in that company’s stocks or bonds. The
company, government or other entity that issued bonds in a Client’s portfolio could become
less able to, or fail to, repay, service or refinance its debts, or the issuer’s credit rating could
be downgraded by a rating agency. Adverse events affecting a country, including political
and economic instability, could depress the value of investments in issuers headquartered
or doing business in that country.
• Liquidity Risk: Securities that are normally liquid may become difficult or impossible to
sell at an acceptable price during periods of economic instability or other emergency
conditions. Some securities may be infrequently or thinly traded even under normal market
conditions.
14

• Leverage Risk: The use of leverage may lead to increased volatility of a fund’s NAV and
market price relative to its common shares. Leverage is likely to magnify any losses in the
trust/fund’s portfolio, which may lead to increased market price declines. Fluctuations in
interest rates on borrowings or the dividend rates on preferred shares that take place from
changes in short- term interest rates may reduce the return to common shareholders or result
in fluctuations in the dividends paid on common shares. There is no assurance that a
leveraging strategy will be successful.
• Domestic and/or Foreign Political Risk: The events that occur in the U.S. relating to
politics, government, and elections can affect the U.S. markets. Political events occurring
in the home country of a foreign company such as revolutions, nationalization, and
currency collapse can have an impact on the security.
•
Inflation Risk: Countries around the globe may be more, or less, prone to inflation than the
U.S. economy at any given time. Companies operating in countries with higher inflation
rates may find it more difficult to post profits reflecting its underlying health.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the U.S.
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to
as exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This risk is that future proceeds from investments may have to be
reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily relates to
fixed income securities.
• Operational Risk: Fund Advisors and other ETF service providers may experience
disruptions or operating errors such as processing errors or human errors, inadequate or
failed internal or external processes, or systems or technology failures, that could
negatively impact the ETF.
• Regulatory/Legislative Developments Risk: Regulators and/or legislators may promulgate
rules or pass legislation that places restrictions on, adds procedural hurdles to, affects the
liquidity of, and/or alters the risks associated with certain investment transactions or the
securities underlying such investment transactions. Such rules/legislation could affect the
value associated with such investment transactions or underlying securities
•
Illiquid Securities: Investments in hedge funds and other private investment funds may
underperform publicly offered and traded securities because such investments:
o Typically require investors to lock‐up their assets for a period and may be unable
to meet redemption requests during adverse economic conditions;
15
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
o Have limited or no liquidity because of restrictions on the transfer of, and the
absence of a market for, interests in these funds;
o Are more difficult to monitor and value due to a lack of transparency and publicly
available information about these funds;
o May have higher expense ratios and involve more inherent conflicts of interest than
publicly traded investments; and
o Involve different risks than investing in registered funds and other publicly offered
and traded securities. These risks may include those associated with more
concentrated, less diversified investment portfolios, investment leverage and
investments in less liquid and non‐traditional asset classes.
Past performance of a security or a fund is not necessarily indicative of future performance or risk
of loss.
Use of Mutual Funds and ETFs:
The risk of ownership of fund shares generally depends on the asset class and number of securities
held by the fund. Funds generally own securities and therefore also involve the risk of loss that is
inherent in investing in securities. The risks also may be significantly increased if a mutual fund
pursues an alternative investment strategy, which may involve special risks associated with short
sales, leveraging the investment, potential adverse market forces, regulatory changes, and potential
illiquidity. Investing in alternative strategies presents the opportunity for significant losses.
Returns on mutual fund investments are reduced by management costs and expenses. Mutual funds
also are subject to the individual risks described in their prospectus.
An ETF’s risks include declining value of the securities held by the ETF, adverse developments
in the specific industry or sector that the ETF tracks, capital loss in geographically focused funds
because of unfavorable fluctuation in currency exchange rates, differences in generally accepted
accounting principles, economic or political instability, tracking errors (the difference between the
return of the ETF and the return of its benchmark), and trading at a premium or discount, meaning
the difference between the ETF’s market price and net asset value (“NAV”). ETFs also are subject
to the individual risks described in their prospectus.
Although the goal of diversification is to combine investments with different characteristics so that
the risks inherent in any one investment can be balanced by assets that move in different cycles or
respond to different market factors, diversification does not eliminate the risk of loss. In some
circumstances, price movements may be highly correlated across securities and funds. A specific
16
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
fund may not be diversified and a Client portfolio may not be diversified. Additionally, when
diversification is a Client objective, there is risk that the strategies that the Advisor uses may not
be successful in achieving the desired level of diversification. There is also risk that the strategies,
resources, and analytical methods that the Advisor uses to identify mutual funds and ETFs will not
be successful in identifying investment opportunities.
Use of Independent Managers
Legacy Capital may select certain External Manager[s] to manage a portion of its Clients’ assets.
In these situations, Legacy Capital conducts due diligence of such managers, but the success of
such recommendations relies to a great extent on the External Managers’ ability to successfully
implement their investment strategies. Legacy Capital generally does not have the ability to
supervise the External Managers on a day-to-day basis. Legacy Capital does not perform
independent due diligence on the External Managers it recommends for Client accounts; rather,
it relies on the due diligence on such managers performed by platform managers.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to a Client’s evaluation of Legacy Capital and the
integrity of Legacy Capital’s management. Legacy Capital has no information applicable to this
Item.
The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service
provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are
available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by
searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 291960.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Registrations with Broker-Dealer
As detailed in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons providing investment advice on behalf of Legacy
Capital are registered representatives with PKS, a securities broker-dealer, and a member of
FINRA and SIPC. In such instances, the Advisory Person will receive commission-based
compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, as well as a share of any
ongoing distribution or service (trail) fees, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company
products. Compensation earned by the Advisory Person in his or her capacity as a registered
representative is separate from and in addition to Legacy Capital’s advisory fee. The receipt of
such compensation by an Advisory Person presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory Person
who is a registered representative may have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the
17
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. To mitigate these
conflicts, Clients are under no obligation to purchase securities products through PKS or Advisory
Persons who are registered representatives or otherwise engage such persons and may choose
brokers or agents not affiliated with Legacy Capital or PKS.
Recommendation of External Managers
Legacy Capital may recommend that Clients use External Managers based on the Client’s needs
and suitability. Legacy Capital does not receive separate compensation, directly or indirectly, from
such external managers for recommending that Clients use their services. Legacy Capital does not
have any other business relationships with the recommended External Managers.
Licensed Insurance Agents
As detailed in 5, certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance agents with Legacy Capital
Group Arkansas, LLC, an affiliate of Legacy Capital, and offer certain insurance products on a
fully-disclosed commissionable basis. A conflict of interest exists to the extent that Legacy Capital
recommends the purchase of insurance products where its Advisory Persons may be entitled to
insurance commissions or other additional compensation. Clients are under no obligation to
purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with Legacy Capital. The Advisor has
procedures in place whereby it seeks to ensure that all recommendations are made in its Clients’
best interest regardless of any such affiliations.
Comprehensive Services
As a part of Legacy’s Comprehensive Services which includes direct interaction and coordination
with third parties including, but not limited to, the clients’ accountant and attorney, the fees
charged by these third parties will be paid by the Advisor to the third parties from Advisory fees
paid to the Advisor pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
A. Description of Code of Ethics
Legacy Capital has a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) which requires Legacy Capital’s employees
(“Supervised Persons”) to comply with their legal obligations and fulfill the fiduciary duties owed
to the Advisor’s Clients. Among other things, the Code of Ethics sets forth policies and procedures
related to conflicts of interest, outside business activities, gifts and entertainment, compliance with
insider trading laws and policies and procedures governing personal securities trading by
Supervised Persons.
18
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
Personal securities transactions of Supervised Persons present conflicts of interest with the price
obtained in Client securities transactions or the investment opportunity available to Clients. The
Code addresses these conflicts by prohibiting securities trades that would breach a fiduciary duty
to a Client and requiring, with certain exceptions, Supervised Persons to report their personal
securities holdings and transactions to Legacy Capital for review by the Advisor’s Chief
Compliance Officer. The Code also requires Supervised Persons to obtain pre-approval of certain
investments, including initial public offerings and limited offerings.
Legacy Capital will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon
request.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker-Dealers
Client assets must be maintained in an account at a “Qualified Custodian.” Legacy Capital
generally recommends that its investment management Clients utilize the custody and brokerage
services of an unaffiliated broker-dealer custodian as its broker-dealer/custodian (herein
collectively the “Custodian”) with which Legacy Capital has an institutional relationship.
Currently, this includes Schwab Advisor Services, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”) and Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions, and related entities of Fidelity
Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”), which both are a “Qualified Custodian” as that term is
described in Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Each Custodian provides
custody of securities, trade execution, and clearance and settlement of transactions placed by
Legacy Capital. If your accounts are custodied at Schwab of Fidelity, they will hold your assets in
a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. While Legacy Capital
recommends that Clients use Schwab or Fidelity as Custodian, Clients decide whether to do so and
open accounts with Schwab or Fidelity by entering into an account agreement directly with
Schwab or Fidelity. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian and will not incur
any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by
Legacy Capital.
In deciding to recommend Schwab and Fidelity, some of the factors that Legacy Capital considers
include:
• combination of transaction execution services along with asset custody service;
• order execution and the ability to provide accurate and timely execution, clearing
and settlement of trades;
• capabilities to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts;
•
the reasonableness and competitiveness of services, including commission rates
and other fees and transaction costs;
• access to a broad range of investment products, including stocks, bonds, mutual
funds, and exchange-traded funds;
19
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
• availability of investment research and tools that assist the Advisor in making
investment decisions;
• quality of services;
• access to trading desks;
•
technology that integrates within Legacy Capital’s environment, including
interfacing with Legacy Capital’s portfolio management system;
• a dedicated service or back-office team and its ability to process requests from
Legacy Capital on behalf of its Clients;
• ability to provide Legacy Capital with access to Client account information through
an institutional website;
• ability to provide Clients with electronic access to account information and
•
investment and research tools; and
reputation, financial strength, and stability.
Legacy Capital may place portfolio transactions through the Custodian where the Clients’ accounts
are custodied. In exchange for using the services of the Custodian, Legacy Capital may receive,
without cost, computer software and related systems support that allows Legacy Capital to monitor
and service its Clients’ accounts maintained with such Custodian.
Both Custodians also makes available to the Advisor products and services that benefit the Advisor
but may not directly benefit the Client or the Client’s account. These products and services assist
the Advisor in managing and administering Client accounts. They include investment research,
both the Custodians own and that of third parties. Legacy Capital may use this research to service
all or some substantial number of Client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab.
In addition to investment research, Schwab and Fidelity also makes available software and other
technology that:
• provide access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and
•
account statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client
accounts;
facilitate payment of our fees from our Clients’ accounts; and
• provide pricing and other market data;
•
• assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and Client reporting.
The Custodians also offer other services intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop
our business enterprise. These services include:
• educational conferences and events;
•
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
20
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance
providers.
The Custodians may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-
party vendors to provide the services to the Advisor. The Custodians may also discount or waive
its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. The Custodians may
also provide the Advisor with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of the
Advisor’s personnel.
Legacy Capital will periodically review its arrangements with the Custodians and other broker-
dealers against other possible arrangements in the marketplace as it strives to achieve best
execution on behalf of its Clients. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the
lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking
into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including, but not limited to, the
following:
• a broker-dealer’s trading expertise, including its ability to complete trades, execute
and settle difficult trades, obtain liquidity to minimize market impact and
accommodate unusual market conditions, maintain anonymity, and account for its
trade errors and correct them in a satisfactory manner;
• a broker-dealer’s infrastructure, including order-entry systems, adequate lines of
communication, timely order execution reports, an efficient and accurate clearance
and settlement process, and capacity to accommodate unusual trading volume;
• a broker-dealer’s ability to minimize total trading costs while maintaining its
financial health, such as whether a broker-dealer can maintain and commit adequate
capital when necessary to complete trades, respond during volatile market periods,
and minimize the number of incomplete trades;
• a broker-dealer’s ability to provide research and execution services, including
advice as to the value or advisability of investing in or selling securities, analyses
and reports concerning such matters as companies, industries, economic trends and
political factors, or services incidental to executing securities trades, including
clearance, settlement and custody; and
• a broker-dealer’s ability to provide services to accommodate special transaction
needs, such as the broker-dealer’s ability to execute and account for Client-directed
arrangements and soft dollar arrangements, participate in underwriting syndicates,
and obtain initial public offering shares.
As described above, the Custodians provides to Legacy Capital, without cost, research and trade
execution services. Schwab makes these services available to similarly situated investment
21
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
advisers whose Clients custody their assets with Schwab. Access to research and trade execution
services is not predicated on the execution of Client securities transactions (e.g., not “soft dollars.”)
Legacy Capital has not entered into any formal “soft dollar” arrangements with broker-dealers.
Legacy Capital’s Clients may utilize qualified custodians other than Schwab or Fidelity for certain
accounts and assets, particularly where Clients have a previous relationship with such qualified
custodians.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Legacy Capital does not select or recommend broker-dealers based solely on whether or not it may
receive Client referrals from a broker-dealer or third party.
Client-Directed Brokerage
Generally, in the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, for brokerage accounts that
Clients engage Legacy Capital to manage on a discretionary basis, Legacy Capital has full
discretion with respect to securities transactions placed in the accounts. This discretion includes
the authority, without prior notice to the Client, to buy and sell securities for the Client’s account
and establish and affect securities transactions through the Custodian of the Client’s account or
other broker-dealers selected by Legacy Capital. In selecting a broker-dealer to execute a Client’s
securities transactions, Legacy Capital seeks prompt execution of orders at favorable prices.
Legacy Capital does not permit Clients to direct some or all of their brokerage transactions to a
specific broker-dealer.
In addition to accounts managed by Legacy Capital on a discretionary basis where the Client has
directed the brokerage of his/her account[s], certain institutional accounts may be managed by
Legacy Capital on a non-discretionary basis and are held at custodians selected by the institutional
Client. The decision to use a particular custodian and/or broker-dealer generally resides with the
institutional Client. Legacy Capital endeavors to understand the trading and execution capabilities
of any such custodian and/or broker-dealer, as well as its costs and fees. Legacy Capital may assist
the institutional Client in facilitating trading and other instructions to the custodian and/or broker-
dealer in carrying out Legacy Capital’s investment recommendations.
Trade Errors
Legacy Capital’s goal is to execute trades seamlessly and in the best interests of the Client. In the
event a trade error occurs, Legacy Capital endeavors to identify the error in a timely manner,
correct the error so that the Client’s account is in the position it would have been had the error not
22
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
occurred, and, after evaluating the error, assess what action[s] might be necessary to prevent a
recurrence of similar errors in the future.
Trade errors generally are corrected through the use of a “trade error” account or similar account
at Schwab, or another broker-dealer, as the case may be. In the event an error is made in a Client
account custodied elsewhere, Legacy Capital works directly with the broker in question to take
corrective action. In all cases, Legacy Capital will take the appropriate measures to return the
Client’s account to its intended position.
B. Trade Aggregation
To the extent that the Advisor determines to aggregate Client orders for the purchase or sale of
securities, including securities in which the Advisor’s Supervised Persons may invest, the Advisor
will generally do so in a fair equitable manner in accordance with applicable rules promulgated
under the Advisers Act and guidance provided by the staff of the SEC and consistent with policies
and procedures established by the Advisor.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency and Nature of Periodic Reviews and Who Makes Those Reviews
Legacy Capital monitors investment advisory portfolios as part of a continuous and ongoing
process. Legacy Capital advisors have at least one annual meeting with each Client to conduct a
formal review of the Clients’ account. These reviews may include the following:
review holdings and consider alternatives;
• compare the account’s allocation with stated goals and Client cash-flows at time of review;
•
• monitor the size of individual securities relevant to their sectors, asset classes, and overall
account size;
• analyze an account’s composition and performance, income, appreciation, gains/losses,
and asset allocation; and
• assess its performance.
Factors that may trigger an additional review, other than a periodic review, include: material
market, economic or political events, known significant changes in a Client’s financial situation
and/or objectives, and large deposits or withdrawals form the accounts. Clients are encouraged to
notify Legacy Capital if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might
adversely affect the Client’s investment plan.
23
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
B. Other Reviews
Legacy Capital may perform compliance and/or supervisory reviews of a sampling of Client
accounts. These reviews may include comparing an account’s strategy and/or allocation to the
account’s stated objectives, reviewing commission and transaction costs borne by the account, and
reviewing the billing rate and charges.
C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports Provided to Clients
Legacy Capital intends to provide quarterly performance reports to Clients within 30 days of the
end of each calendar quarter. Additionally, Legacy Capital offers its Clients access to an online
reporting platform that updates performance and holdings daily. Clients will also receive brokerage
statements no less than quarterly from the qualified custodian. These brokerage statements are sent
directly from the custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client
brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s
account[s]. The Client advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their
holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Clients
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Legacy Capital has engaged two qualified custodians and will generally recommend that
portfolio management Clients establish accounts with either Schwab through its “Schwab
Advisor Services” unit or Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions, and related entities of Fidelity
Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”), both registered broker-dealers, member SIPC, to
maintain custody of Clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts.
Fidelity
Legacy Capital maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity Clearing & Custody
Solutions, and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”) whereby
Legacy Capital receives certain benefits. Legacy Capital may receive from Fidelity, without cost
to Legacy Capital, computer software and related systems support, which allow Legacy Capital
to better monitor Client accounts maintained at Fidelity, facilitate trade execution (and allocation
of aggregated trade orders for multiple Client accounts), provide research, pricing information
and other market data and assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and Client reporting.
Legacy Capital may receive the software and related support without cost because Legacy
Capital renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity.
24
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
Specifically, Legacy Capital may receive the following benefits from Fidelity: receipt of
duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements, access to a trading desk that
exclusively services its Registered Investment Adviser Group participants and access to an
electronic communication network for Client account information. In addition, Fidelity also
makes available to Legacy Capital other services intended to help Legacy Capital manage and
further develop its business enterprise. These services may include publications and conferences
on practice management, information technology and regulatory compliance.
Legacy Capital is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Fidelity. Fidelity
provides Legacy Capital with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are
typically not available to Fidelity retail investors. These services are generally available to
independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis and are not otherwise contingent upon
Legacy Capital committing to Fidelity any specific amount of business (assets in custody or
trading).
For Legacy Capital’s Client accounts maintained there, Fidelity is compensated through
commissions or other transaction-related fees for securities trades that are executed through
Fidelity or that settle into Fidelity accounts. The brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees
charged by Fidelity or any other designated broker-dealer are exclusive of and in addition to
Legacy Capital’s fees.
Any commissions paid by Legacy Capital’s Clients shall comply with Legacy Capital’s duty to
obtain “best execution.” However, a Client may pay a commission that is higher than another
qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where Legacy Capital
determines, in good faith, that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is
not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution,
taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including among others, the
value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness.
Consistent with the foregoing, while Legacy Capital will seek competitive rates, it may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for Client transactions.
Charles Schwab Advisor Services
As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Legacy
Capital receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders
investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by
Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services provided by Schwab
will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put
the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic
benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the
25
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software,
systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a
broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s
funds and securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and
asset classes that the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further,
the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to
adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to directly access the
investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with
access to technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives
duplicate statements for Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back
office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist
the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may not directly benefit all
Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial
support to Legacy Capital that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and
events, financial start-up support, consulting services and discounts for various service providers.
Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which
results in a conflict of interest. Legacy Capital believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as
Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Legacy Capital does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not
supervised persons, for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Legacy Capital does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited
circumstances outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with
the deduction of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Legacy Capital exercises discretionary
authority must hold their assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging
a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct Legacy Capital to
utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review
26
Legacy Capital Wealth Partners, LLC
Disclosure Brochure
statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Legacy Capital to
ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Legacy Capital to move
funds between their accounts, Legacy Capital and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to
ensure that all money movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s
documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clients have the option of providing Legacy Capital with investment discretion on their behalf,
pursuant to a grant of a limited power of attorney contained in Legacy Capital’s Client agreement.
By granting Legacy Capital investment discretion, a Client authorizes Legacy Capital to direct
securities transactions and determine which securities are bought and sold, the total amount to be
bought and sold, and the costs at which the transactions will be effected. Clients may impose
reasonable limitations in the form of specific constraints on any of these areas of discretion with
the consent and written acknowledgement of Legacy Capital. See also Item 4.C., Client-Tailored
Advisory Services.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Legacy Capital does not accept the authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of Clients.
Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for all and any securities
maintained in Client portfolios. Clients may direct proxies to Legacy Capital; however, Legacy
Capital will take no action on voting proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
A. Balance Sheet
Legacy Capital does not require prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client, six months or
more in advance, and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with this Disclosure
Brochure.
B. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to Meet Contractual
Commitments to Clients
Neither Legacy Capital nor its management has any financial conditions that are reasonably likely
to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to Clients.
C. Bankruptcy Petitions in Previous Years
Legacy Capital has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
27
