Advisory Business
Firm Description
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC (LPA) was founded in 2018.
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC (The Advisor) is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.
The Advisor offers financial planning and investment advisory services to its clients. Such
services are offered through its Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs).
Separate and apart from their registration as IARs of the Advisor, the IARs are also Registered
Representatives of The Strategic Financial Alliance, (SFA), a SEC registered broker dealer
and investment Advisor, SFA is also a member of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA), Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and various other regulatory
bodies. SFA does not provide any investment advisory services in conjunction with or as part
of the financial planning and investment advisory services provided by the Advisor.
Founding & Managing Members
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC (LPA) is a manager managed LLC. Robert G. Black, Jr. is the
founding member. Christopher W. Cushman, Peter L. Geckeler, Derek H. Bell and Amy J.
Flynn are managing members of Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC. Christopher W. Cushman,
and Peter L. Geckeler are beneficial owners as they each own 40% of the firm, with Robert G.
Black Jr. owning 10% and Derek H. Bell and Amy J. Flynn each owning 5%.
Types of Advisory Services
The Advisor, through its IARs, will typically provide a variety of financial planning, wealth
planning or wealth counseling services, principally advisory in nature, to individuals or families
regarding the management of their financial resources, based upon an analysis of client’s
needs. Generally, such financial planning, wealth planning or wealth counseling services will
involve preparing recommendations and or action plans for a client based on the client’s
financial circumstances and objectives. This information normally would cover present and
anticipated assets and liabilities, including insurance, savings, investments, and anticipated
retirement or other employee benefits, as well as charitable or philanthropic interests.
The recommendations developed for the clients will usually include general recommendations
for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. For example,
recommendations may be made that the clients obtain insurance or revise existing coverage,
establish an individual retirement account, consider the gifting of income or assets, increase or
decrease funds held in savings accounts or invest funds in securities. The IARs on behalf of
the Advisor may develop tax or estate plans for clients or refer clients to an accountant or
attorney.
- 1 -
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC
The IARs on behalf of their Advisor may also create a cash flow analysis or work with and
advise the clients as to the rearrangement of cash flow in order to fund certain long-term
objectives such as buying a house, planning for college, retirement, etc.
As of February 2, 2026 LPA manages approximately $234,000,000.00 in assets on a non-
discretionary basis for approximately 755 client accounts.
Tailored Relationships
The Advisor will provide investment supervisory services, defined as giving continuous advice
to a client, based upon a prior-established client profile or investment policy. Such profile or
investment policy will be created through personal discussions in which goals and objectives
based on a client’s particular circumstances are established. Each portfolio will be designed to
meet a particular investment goal, which the IARs on behalf of their Advisor have determined
to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been
determined, the portfolio will be continuously managed based on the portfolio’s investment
objectives. The investment objectives may be modified based upon changes in the client’s
individual needs. It is important that the client make LPA aware of any circumstance that may
alter their investment objectives. Each client will have the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. The Advisor will provide
such continuous advisory services on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. Account
supervision will be guided by the stated objectives of the clients (i.e. maximum capital
appreciation, growth, income,or growth and income).
The IARs on behalf of their Advisor will create a portfolio, consisting of no-load funds, (funds
with no front-end or deferred sales charges and whose total charges against net assets for
sales related expenses and or services do not exceed .33%); load-waived funds (front-end
commissions will not be charged); and, front-end load fee exclusion (advisory fees will not be
charged for a period of two years from the date the sales charge was earned) for mutual funds
bought prior to engaging the Advisor’s services. Such portfolio may also consist of variable
life and/or variable annuity sub-accounts, which the IARs may have already sold to their clients
on a full commission basis, in their capacity as Registered Representatives of SFA.
Mutual funds may be selected on the basis of any or all of the following criteria: performance
history; the industry sector in which the fund invests; the track record of the fund’s manager;
the fund’s investment objectives, management style and philosophy; and, the fund’s
management fee structure. Each client’s individual needs and circumstances will determine
initial portfolio weighting between funds and market sectors. Clients will have the opportunity
to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments that will be made on the client’s
behalf. Clients will retain individual ownership of all securities.

Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC
All fees paid to the Advisor for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses
are described in each fund’s prospectus. Such fees will generally include a management fee,
other fund expenses and a possible distribution fee. In addition, depending on the fund in
which a client is invested may include transaction fees external to the fund.
A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of the Advisor. In that case,
the client would not receive the services provided by the Advisor that are designed, among
other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund of funds are most appropriate
to the client’s financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the clients should review both the
fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by the Advisor to fully understand the total
amount of fees to be paid by the clients and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being
provided.
Client whose funds are custodied at Charles Schwab and Co. advisory fees are charged in
advance, at the start of each calendar quarter, based upon the fair market value of the assets
in the portfolio as of the last business day of the prior quarter. The initial fee will be payable
when the account is established, prorated for the first partial quarter, if applicable. Thereafter,
the fee will be payable on the first day of each calendar quarter based on the asset value of
the account as of the last business day of the prior quarter. Additional deposits to the account
are subject to the same fee procedures. Any intra-quarter debits or credits will result in a
prorated adjustment to fee billing based on number of days remaining in the quarter. No fee
adjustments will be made for account depreciation.
Client whose funds are custodied at Betterment for Advisors advisory are charged in arrears
and accrue fees daily on the average balance of the account and extract the fees at the end of
each month. The initial fee will be payable when the account is established, prorated for the
first partial month, if applicable. Additional deposits to the account are subject to the same fee
procedures.
Upon client’s written authorization, fees will be automatically deducted from the account.
Clients will be provided with a quarterly statement reflecting deduction of the advisory fee.
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
See Advisory Business Termination of Agreement.
LPA reserves the right to stop work on any account that is more than 60 days past due. In
addition, the firm reserves the right to terminate an engagement where a client has willfully
concealed or refused to provide pertinent information about financial situations when
necessary and appropriate to provide proper advice, per the judgment of LPA. Clients may
terminate their agreement at any time by providing written notice.
Terminating clients will receive an itemized bill based on hourly rates for work completed. Any
unused portion of fees collected in advance will be refunded within 30 days.

Types of Clients
Description
The Advisor’s IARS provide the aforementioned personal advisory services to individuals,
profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, corporations or other business services.
Account Minimums
In addition to providing advice and recommending securities that are solely incidental to the
conduct of their business as Registered Representatives of SFA, the Advisor’s IARs will also
provide clients with the aforementioned continuous investment supervision or portfolio
monitoring services upon the Advisor’s engagement by their clients.
Unless otherwise agreed to, to initiate an investment management relationship a minimum
of $350,000 in assets is required however, smaller account minimums are accepted on the
Betterment platform and are negotiable.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss
Methods of Analysis
The Advisor’s IARs on behalf of the Advisor may use, without limitation, any of the following
methods of analysis, sources of information and investment strategies: financial newspapers
and magazines; inspections of corporate activities; corporate rating services such as
Morningstar; and annual reports, prospectuses and press releases. IARs on behalf of Advisor
may also utilize different investment strategies, based upon the needs of the clients, which
include long-term purchases as well as trading.
For the Third-Party Advisory Referral Program, Advisor's recommendations for third-party
Advisors and programs will be based on research reports and analysis of performance
provided by third-party Advisors and publicly available research and reports regarding
investment strategies and programs generally offered by a variety of third-party investment
Advisors. IARs of Advisor may utilize computer software programs provided by such third-party
advisors in providing this advice to clients.
- 9 -
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC
Investment Strategies
The Advisor will emphasize personal client contact and interaction rather than continuous and
regular account supervision. The IARs on behalf of their Advisor will work with clients to
identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance in order to create an
initial portfolio allocation designed to complement their clients’ educational, home ownership,
wealth management and accumulation and retirement funding goals and objectives etc.
Investment strategy will focus primarily on a long-term buy and hold approach as opposed to
short-term trading. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal,
which the IARs, on behalf of their Advisor, have determined to be suitable to the client’s
circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, the IARs on behalf of their
Advisor will review the portfolio quarterly, and if necessary, rebalance such portfolio, based
upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. However, each client will have
the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the
portfolio. The Advisor’s strategy, generally, will be to seek to meet client investment objectives
while providing clients with access to the personal advisory services of its IARs on at least an
annual basis, or more often, depending upon prior agreement between each IAR and clients.
The IARs will not attempt to manage short-term market fluctuations with active trading (market
timing/ allocation etc.). However, the IARs on behalf of their Advisor may reallocate the
portfolio as necessitated by large-scale macro- economic changes in the securities markets.
Risk of Loss
When pursuing our strategic long-term investing strategies, we are assuming the Financial
Markets will go up in the long-term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the
segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will
go down over time even if the overall Financial Markets advance. In addition, purchasing
investments long-term may create an opportunity cost, "Locking-up” assets that may be better
utilized in the short-term in other investments.
Investing in stocks involves the assumption of risk including:
• Financial Risk: This is the risk that the companies we recommend to you may
perform poorly which will affect the price of your investment.
• Market Risk: This is the risk that the Stock Market will decline, decreasing the value
•
of the securities we recommend to you with it.
Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy
deteriorates the returns associated with the stock.
• Political and Governmental Risk: This is the risk that the value of your investment
may change with the introduction of new laws or regulations.
Investing in bonds involves the assumption of risk including:
- 10 -
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC

Interest Rate Risk: This is the risk that the value of the bond investments we
recommend to you will fall if interest rates rise.
• Call Risk: This is the risk that your bond investment will be called or purchased back
from you when conditions are favorable to the bond issuer and unfavorable to you.
• Default Risk: This is the risk that the bond issuer may be unable to pay you the
•
contractual interest or principal on the bond in a timely manner or at all.
Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy
deteriorates the returns associated with the bond.
Investing in mutual funds involves the assumption of risk including:
• Manager Risk: This is the risk that an actively managed mutual fund's investment
adviser will fail to execute the fund's stated investment strategy.
• Market Risk: This is the risk that the Stock Market will decline, decreasing the value
•
•
of the securities contained within the mutual funds we recommend to you.
Industry Risk: This is the risk that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline
in price due to adverse developments in that industry, decreasing the value of
mutual funds that are significant invested in that industry.
Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy
deteriorates the returns associated with the mutual fund.
Listed above are some of the primary risks associated with the way we recommend
investments to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss these risks and others in
more detail. In instances where we recommend that a third party manage your assets, please
refer to the third party's ADV and associated disclosure documents for details on their
investment strategies, methods of analysis and associated risks.

Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Financial Industry Activities
Although SFA maintains supervisory and administrative relationships with certain of the
Advisor’s IARs, the Firm does not control the Advisor with respect to the conduct of its
Investment Advisory activities. Notwithstanding, because the IARs are dually registered
agents of SFA and the Advisor, SFA has certain supervisory and administrative duties
- 11 -
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC
pursuant of the requirements of FINRA Conduct Rule 3040. In that regard, SFA will require
and furnish certain account opening documentation to be completed by the clients and the
IARs. Once all such materials and forms have been completed by clients in consultation with
their IARs, the IARs are required to submit these materials and forms to SFA for its review and
approval, in its capacity as the Broker Dealer of record. Such review does not include the
provision of investment advisory services to the Advisor's client accounts. SFA does not
provide investment advisory services in connection with such programs.
In addition, the Advisor’s IARs may also be licensed as insurance agents with various
insurance companies, and in such capacity, may recommend, on a fully disclosed basis, the
purchase of insurance related products. The Advisor and its IARs currently devote 15% of
their time to securities and life insurance commission business.
Principals and associated persons of Advisor may be associated with SFA as Registered
Representatives. SFA is a diversified financial services company engaged in the sale of
specialized investment products. IARs may recommend securities or insurance products
offered by SFA. If their clients purchase these products through the IAR, the IAR will receive
the normal commissions. Thus, a conflict may exist between their interest and those of their
advisory clients. This may create an incentive to recommend investment products based on
compensation received rather than client needs; as well as advising that clients are not
obligated to purchase securities products through the advisory representative in his/her
capacity as a registered representative. The client is under no obligation to purchase products
recommended by the IAR, or to purchase products either through the IAR or through SFA
unless done in the conjunction with an investment management program(s).
Representatives and principals of Advisor may be registered representatives of SFA, a
registered full-service general securities broker-dealer with the SEC, a Registered Investment
Advisor, a member of the FINRA and various other regulatory bodies. IAR may provide
Pershing brokerage services through SFA, in which capacity SFA may receive brokerage fees
for transactions completed on behalf of clients of Advisor, a portion of which may be paid to
client's representative.
For Pershing brokerage programs provided by SFA, it furnishes certain materials and forms for
the programs, including account agreement forms to be used by representatives of SFA when
opening client accounts. SFA reviews and, if applicable, approves the material solely in its
capacity as broker-dealer for the account.
SFA may also act as paying agent with respect to payments made by third party advisors to
Advisor under solicitor's agreements between them. SFA does not act as an investment
Advisor with respect to any accounts that are referred directly by Advisor to third party
advisors. The client does not have an investment advisor relationship with SFA unless the
client has signed a direct advisory contract with SFA, and then only in relation to the assets
subject to that contract.

Code of Ethics and Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions
Code of Ethics
The Advisor or its IARs may buy or sell securities identical to those recommended to clients for
their personal accounts. In addition, any related person(s) may have an interest or position in
a certain security(ies) which may also be recommended to the clients.
It is the expressed policy of the Advisor that its IARs may not purchase or sell any individual
stock or bond prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account, and
therefore, preventing such IARs benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory
accounts.
As these situations represent a conflict of interest, the Advisor has established the following
restrictions in order to ensure its fiduciary responsibilities:
• A Director, officer or IAR shall not buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s)
where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or
her affiliation with the Advisor or SFA, unless the information is also available to the
investing public on reasonable inquiry. No person shall prefer his or her own interest
to that of the advisory clients. (1) (2)
• All clients are fully informed that certain individuals may receive separate
compensation when effecting transactions during the implementation process.
• The Advisor emphasizes the unrestricted right of the clients to decline to implement
any advice rendered, except in situations where a Third-Party Advisory Service is
granted discretionary authority in the client’s account.
• The Advisor requires that all individuals must act in accordance with all applicable
Federal and State regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.
• Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.
Footnotes
This investment policy has been established recognizing that some securities being
(1)
considered for purchase and sale on behalf of the Advisor’s client’s trade in sufficiently broad
markets to permit transactions by clients to be completed without an appreciable impact on the
markets of the securities. Under certain circumstances, exceptions may be made to the
policies stated above. Records of these trades, including the reasons for the exceptions, will
be maintained with the Advisor’s records in the manner set forth above.
(2)
Open-end mutual funds and/or the investment sub-accounts which may comprise a
variable insurance product are purchased or redeemed at a fixed net asset value price per
share specific to the date of purchase of redemption. As such, transactions in mutual funds
and/or variable insurance products by IARs are not likely to have an impact on the prices of the
fund shares in which clients invest and are therefore not prohibited by the Advisor’s Investment
policies and procedures.
In accordance with Section 20A of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, the Advisor also
maintains and enforces written policies reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material
- 13 -
Legacy Planning Advisors, LLC
non-public information by the Advisor or any person associated with the Advisor. A copy of the
LPA Code of Ethics will be provided to any client upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
As Registered Representatives of SFA, the Advisor’s IARs on behalf of Advisor may
recommend to clients the purchase or sale of investment products in which the IARs and SFA
or a related entity, may have some financial interest, including the receipt of compensation.
Certain mutual funds (and/or their related persons) in which clients may invest make 12b-1 fee
payments to broker dealers. Such payments may be distributed pursuant to a 12b-1-
distribution plan or pursuant to another arrangement as compensation for distribution or
administrative services and may be paid out of the fund’s assets. SFA and/or the Advisor’s
IARs may receive such 12b-1 fees or other compensation to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
Brokerage Practices
Selecting Brokerage Firms
The Advisor does not have the authority to determine, without obtaining specific client’s
discretionary authority, securities to be bought or sold; the amount of securities to be bought or
sold; the broker or dealer to be used; or the commission rates paid. However, as
aforementioned, the Advisor’s principal and IARs are also registered representative(s) of SFA.
For Advisory Referral Program accounts, Advisor is paid by a participation in the advisory fee
paid by clients to third-party Advisors to whom Advisor refers client accounts. Advisor has
entered into contracts with various third-party Advisors performing portfolio management. Full
disclosure, either Form ADV Part 2 A and B or its equivalent, will be given to the client at the
time of solicitation in accordance with Rule 206 (4)-3.
Custodian Services/Benefits
LPA receives a non-economic benefit from both Buckingham Strategic Partners and
Betterment for Advisors and Betterment Securities in the form of the support products and
services it makes available to LPA and other independent investment advisors whose clients
maintain their accounts at Betterment Securities.

review and consultation will contain some or all of the following; specific advice concerning any
changes in the client’s investments that the Advisor believes the client should make and
specific advice concerning the manner in which the client can make the changes advised by
the Advisor. The only reviewer is the Advisor.
Clients will be contacted at least annually by their IARs to review each client’s financial status,
goals and objectives. The Advisor’s principal is responsible for ensuring that such reviews and
contacts are made.
Generally, clients will receive reports at least quarterly, as set forth in their advisory
agreements and other disclosure materials.
All financial planning services clients will receive from the Advisor annual updates of their
current financial situations. Clients will also receive from their custodians on either a monthly
or quarterly basis, statements showing the current market value as well as interest and
dividends for the reporting period.

Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals
LPA has been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The referrals came
from current clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants, employees, ministry relationships,
personal friends of employees and other similar sources. The firm does not compensate
referring parties for these referrals.

statements directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly.

LPA at its discretion provides to clients an annual summary of accounts that does not provide
performance figures.
Net Worth Statements

Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading

a non-discretionary basis. We will manage client accounts on a discretionary basis upon
obtaining consent via a signed client agreement. Details of discretion maintained at Betterment
are provided within the Betterment client agreement. Client consent is typically granted and
evidenced in the client agreement signed with us. We define discretion as: the ability to trade
accounts, without obtaining prior consent, the securities and amount of securities to be bought

or sold, the timing of the purchase or sale. It does not extend to the withdrawal or transfer of
account funds.
We may give advice and take action in the performance of our duties, which differs from the
advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, with respect to clients’ accounts.
While the Betterment for Advisors platform allows LPA as your investment advisor to
independently initiate changes to your portfolio allocation, which can result in buys and sells of
securities on your behalf, we will not do so without securing your prior approval either verbally
or in written form.
Limited Power of Attorney
A limited power of attorney is a trading authorization for this purpose. Clients sign a limited
power of attorney so that each Custodian may execute the trades that you have approved.
Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
LPA does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies which
will be received from either third-party money managers or from the Custodian directly.
Financial Information

client, and six months or more in advance.

Education and Business Standards
The Advisor maintains very specific minimum annual educational and professional
development standards for its’ IARs and all employees. Each year these standards are
assessed as well as each employee’s progress. Additionally, each IAR and employee is
required to submit an annual value proposition defining their value-add objectives. LPA
considers the educational and annual continuing education requirements of the
securities industry to be absolute minimums. Each year LPA’s IARs and employees are
expected to grow, excel and add value to the organization and its clients in technical,
relational, spiritual and professional competence. The LPA Associate Handbook is
considered an industry model in this regard. Additionally, all IARs in their capacity as
SFA Registered Representatives are required to pass appropriate securities
examinations and must participate in general compliance courses and annual training
conducted by SFA in its capacity as a broker dealer.

alternatives.
