Advisory Business - Item 4
Legacy Wealth Partners, LLC (“Legacy Wealth” and/or the “firm”) is a limited liability company formed in the State
of Colorado. Alexander G. Cameron, Rex C. Emery, Andrew T. Feldman, and Melissa A. Wagner are the principal
owners of the firm. Alexander Cameron is the Chief Compliance Officer of the firm. Legacy Wealth has been
offering investment advisory services since 2025.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. You may see the term “Associated Person” throughout
this Brochure. As used in this Brochure, this term refers to anyone from our firm who is an officer, employee, and
all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of our firm. Where required, such persons are properly
licensed or registered as investment adviser representatives.
Financial Planning Services
Legacy Wealth offers various financial planning related services, which assist clients in the management of their
financial resources. Financial planning services are based upon an analysis of the client’s individual needs
beginning with one or more information gathering consultations. Once the firm has collected and analysed all
documentation gathered during these consultations, Legacy Wealth provides a written financial plan designed to
achieve the client’s financial goals and objectives. Legacy Wealth then assists clients in developing a strategy for
the successful management of income, assets, and liabilities. In general, financial planning services may include
any one or all of the following:
Retirement Planning: Legacy Wealth’s retirement planning services typically include projections of your likelihood
of achieving your financial goals, typically focusing on financial independence as the primary objective. For
situations where projections show less than the desired results, we may make recommendations, including those
that may impact the original projections by adjusting certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving more,
spending less, taking more risk with investments). If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be
given on appropriate distribution strategies to minimize the likelihood of running out of money or having to
adversely alter spending during your retirement years.
Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to major risks that could have
a significantly adverse effect on your financial picture, such as premature death, disability, property and casualty
losses, or the need for long‐term care planning. Advice may be provided on ways to minimize such risks and about
weighing the costs of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise, the potential cost of not
purchasing insurance (“self‐insuring”).
Tax Planning Strategies: Advice may include ways to minimize current and future income taxes as a part of your
overall financial planning picture. For example, we may make recommendations on which type of account(s) or
specific investments should be owned based in part on their “tax efficiency,” with consideration that there is
always a possibility of future changes to federal, state or local tax laws and rates that may affect your situation.
We recommend that you consult with a qualified tax professional before initiating any tax planning strategy. If
you need to hire someone for such purposes, we can provide you with contact information for accountants or
attorneys who specialize in this area. We will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and your tax
professional with your approval.
Estate Planning: This usually includes an analysis of your exposure to estate taxes and your current estate plan,
which may include whether you have a will, powers of attorney, trusts, and other related documents. Our advice
also typically includes ways for you to minimize or avoid future estate taxes by implementing appropriate estate
planning strategies, such as the use of applicable trusts. We always recommend that you consult with a qualified
attorney when you initiate, update, or complete estate planning activities. We may provide you with contact
information for attorneys who specialize in estate planning when you wish to hire an attorney for such purposes.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 5
From time to time, we will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and your attorney with your
approval or request.
Financial Goals: We will help clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach them. We will identify
what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make it happen, how much time you will need to
reach the goal, and how much you should budget for your goal.
Insurance: Review of existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability, long-term care, liability,
home, and automobile.
Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet clients’ financial goals and
risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles and strategies, reviewing employee stock options,
as well as assisting you in establishing your own investment account at a selected broker/dealer or custodian. The
strategies and types of investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of this brochure.
Employee Benefits Optimization: We will provide recommendations as to whether you, as an employee, are taking
the maximum advantage possible of your employee benefits. If you are a business owner, we will consider and/or
recommend the various benefit programs that can be structured to meet both business and personal retirement
goals.
Business Planning: We provide consulting services for clients who currently operate their own business, are
considering starting a business, or are planning for an exit from their current business. Under this type of
engagement, we work with you to assess your current situation, identify your objectives, and develop a plan
aimed at achieving your goals.
Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and expenses to determine your
current surplus or deficit, along with advice on prioritizing how any surplus should be used or how to reduce
expenses if they exceed your income. Advice may also be provided on which debts to pay off first based on factors
such as the interest rate of the debt and any income tax ramifications. We may also recommend what we believe
to be an appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and other financial goals, along with
a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such reserves, plus strategies to save desired amounts.
College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or other post-secondary
education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the desired amount. Recommendations as to
savings strategies are included, and, if needed, we will review your financial picture as it relates to eligibility for
financial aid or the best way to contribute to grandchildren (if appropriate).
The recommendations and solutions are designed to achieve the client’s desired goals, subject to periodic
evaluation of the financial plan, which may require revision to meet changing circumstances. Financial plans are
based on your financial situation based on the information provided to the firm. We should be notified promptly
of any change to your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs.
Clients can also request financial planning services that cover a specific area, such as retirement or estate
planning, asset allocation analysis, manager due diligence, and 401(k) platform due diligence. Clients may choose
to accept or reject our recommendations. If you decide to proceed with our recommendations, you may do so by
engaging us for investment advisory services or by using any advisory, brokerage, or insurance provider you
choose.
Important Note: Information related to tax and legal consequences that is provided as part of the financial plan is
for informative purposes only. Clients are instructed to contact their tax or legal advisers for personalized advice.

Portfolio Management Services
Our firm offers discretionary portfolio management services to our clients. Discretionary portfolio management
means we will make investment decisions and place buy or sell orders in your account without contacting you.
These decisions would be made based upon your stated investment objectives. If you wish, you may limit our
discretionary authority by, for example, setting a limit on the type of securities that can be purchased for your
account. Simply provide us with your restrictions or guidelines in writing.
Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients’ needs and investment objectives. If you decide to hire our
firm to assist you with the management of your portfolio, an Associated Person of Legacy Wealth will meet with
you and gather information about your financial situation, investment objectives, and any reasonable restrictions
you would like to impose on the management of the account. The information we gather will help us implement
an asset allocation strategy that will be specific to your needs and goals. Investments and allocations are
determined and based upon the client’s predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial horizon,
financial information, and other various suitability factors. Further restrictions and guidelines imposed by the
client may affect the composition and performance of a client’s portfolio.
Our asset allocation and advisory services can be offered in conjunction with a sub adviser. The sub adviser assists
our firm with back-office support, trading, report preparation, and billing. We use proprietary model portfolios
along with portfolio models developed by other registered investment advisers. These other investment advisers
are responsible for the research and security selection within model portfolios, day-to-day trading, billing
calculation, and other back-office operations. Legacy Wealth is responsible for the supervision of the account,
portfolio reallocations and rebalancing, and ongoing client interaction and servicing. At this time, Legacy Wealth
uses the sub-advisory services of Assetmark, Inc., Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC, Brinker Capital
Investments, and SMArtX Advisory Solutions LLC. Clients will be provided with a current copy of the sub adviser’s
Form ADV Part 2 Brochure at the inception of service. This document provides important disclosures about the
sub adviser’s services, portfolio models, fees, conflicts of interest, disciplinary history (if any), and other important
information that would help clients understand the scope of sub-advisory services provided by the sub adviser.
On an ongoing basis, Legacy Wealth reviews the client’s financial circumstances and investment objectives, and,
where necessary, instructs the sub adviser to make adjustments to the client’s portfolio.
All accounts are managed in accordance with the client’s investment needs and may include various types of
securities such as equity securities, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), mutual funds, corporate debt securities,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, and U.S. Government securities. Other types of
investments may also be recommended where such investments are appropriate based on the client’s stated
goals and objectives.
Clients are required to provide the firm with prompt notice of any changes in their personal financial
circumstances, investment objectives, goals, and tolerance for risk. Legacy Wealth will contact the client at least
annually to determine whether there have been any changes in the client's personal financial circumstances,
investment objectives, and tolerance for risk.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
Legacy Wealth provides several retirement plan consulting services. While the primary clients for these services
will be pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans, Legacy Wealth will also offer these services, where appropriate,
to individuals and trusts, estates, and charitable organizations. retirement plan consulting services are comprised
of the following components. Clients may choose to use any or all of these services.
Investment Policy Statement Preparation (''IPS''):
An IPS lists the criteria for selection of investment vehicles as well as the procedures and timing interval for
monitoring of investment performance. Legacy Wealth will meet with the client (in person or over the telephone)
to determine an appropriate investment strategy that reflects the plan sponsor's stated investment objectives for
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 7
management of the overall plan. Legacy Wealth then reviews an existing IPS or, if needed, prepares a written IPS
detailing those needs and goals, including an encompassing policy under which these goals are to be achieved.
Selection of Investment Vehicles
Legacy Wealth will create or review the plan’s existing investment lineup, primarily consisting of mutual funds
(both index and managed) and clients will select the lineup that is most appropriate for their investment needs.
The plan’s investment lineup may also include individual equities, bonds, and other investment products. The
number of investments to be recommended will be determined by the plan, based on the plan’s stated goals.
Monitoring of Investment Performance
Client investments will be monitored and reviewed based on the procedures and timing intervals outlined in the
agreement with the client and the plan's IPS. Where Legacy Wealth has no access to client account statements,
the client is instructed to make such statements available to the firm. Although Legacy Wealth will not be involved
in any way in the purchase or sale of these investments, Legacy Wealth will make recommendations to the client
as market factors and the client's needs dictate.
Employee Communications
For pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans where the individual account participant exercises control over assets
in their own account (hereinafter ''self-directed plans''), Legacy Wealth also provides educational support
designed for the plan participants. The nature of the topics to be covered will be determined by Legacy Wealth
and the client under the guidelines established in Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”).
Educational support services will NOT provide plan participants with individualized, tailored investment advice or
individualized, tailored asset allocation recommendations.
Investment Management
We offer ongoing and continuous discretionary investment management with respect to the asset classes and
investments for the plan in accordance with the plan’s investment policies and objectives. This service is described
in more detail in the “Portfolio Management Services” section above.
Other pension consulting services are available on request. All of our pension consulting services, whether general
or customized, will be outlined in an agreement that shows the services that will be provided and the fees that
will be charged for those services.
Legacy Wealth is registered as an investment advisor and represents that it is not subject to any disqualification
as set forth in ERISA. To the extent Legacy Wealth performs Fiduciary Services, the company acts as a fiduciary of
the plan as defined in Section 3(21) or Section 3(38) under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(“ERISA”).
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not sponsor, manage, or participate in any wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we manage $646,023,157 in client assets on a discretionary basis and $0 in client assets
on a non-discretionary basis.

Fees and Compensation - Item 5
Financial Planning Fees
Legacy Wealth provides its clients financial planning and consulting services. Legacy Wealth will charge a fixed fee
of up to $15,000.00 for financial planning services. Fees are either payable in advance, or, 50% of the fee is payable
upon execution of the financial planning agreement with the balance due upon delivery of the financial plan. The
exact fee and payment arrangement will be listed in the financial planning agreement signed by the firm and the
client. Legacy Wealth does not require the prepayment of over $1,200, six or more months in advance. Prior to
engaging Legacy Wealth to provide financial planning services, the client will be required to enter into a financial
planning agreement with our firm. The Agreement will set forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and
describe the scope of the services to be provided and the fee that is due from the client. In some cases, the scope
and complexity of the financial plan may exceed our initial estimate and the cost may exceed the fees listed in
the agreement. In such cases, our firm will reach out to the client to inform them of the additional costs and will
execute an updated financial planning agreement to include the additional fees.
Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement by written notice to the other. In the event the client
terminates Legacy Wealth’s financial planning services, the balance of prepaid, unearned fees (if any) will be
refunded to the client promptly.
Portfolio Management Services Fees
For portfolio management services, Legacy Wealth charges an annual fee of up to 1.50% of assets under
management. Portfolio management fees are payable quarterly, in advance, based on the value of the portfolio
at the end of the previous quarter as determined by the custodian. If assets are deposited to or withdrawn from
an account after the inception of a quarter, the management fee payable with respect to those assets will be
prorated based on the average daily balance of the account during the quarter. The management fee for the initial
quarter shall be calculated on a pro rate basis commencing on the day the assets are initially designated to us for
management. Fee payment arrangements can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. These arrangements will be
listed in the advisory agreement signed by the firm and the client. The annual fee paid by a client does not include
the sub adviser’s fees.
Fees charged by Assetmark, Inc., Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC, Brinker Capital Investments, and SMArtX
Advisory Solutions LLC are separate from and in addition to our fees. Assetmark, Inc., Parametric Portfolio
Associates LLC, Brinker Capital Investments, and SMArtX Advisory Solutions LLC calculate their fees independent
of Legacy Wealth and will debit the fee directly from the client’s account. These fees will be disclosed to the client
in a separate disclosure document provided by each sub adviser.
Where we have delegated the sub adviser with fee deduction authority, the sub adviser calculates the fee and
debits the fees from the client’s custodial account on behalf of Legacy Wealth. Otherwise, Legacy Wealth will
calculate the fee and debit such fees from the client’s custodial account. You will provide the party responsible
for the fee deduction written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further,
the qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements will
show all disbursements from your account. You should review all statements for accuracy. If insufficient cash is
available to pay such fees, securities in an amount equal to the balance of unpaid fees will be liquidated to pay
for the unpaid balance. In limited cases, we may invoice the client directly for the payment of fees.
You may terminate the client Agreement upon 30-days' written notice to our firm. You will incur a pro rata charge
for services rendered prior to the termination of the agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in
proportion to the number of days in the pay period for which you are a client. Any prepaid unearned fees will be
refunded to the client.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 9
The fees charged are calculated as described above and are not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains
upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds, or any portion of your funds.
We reserve the right to maintain courtesy accounts that do not incur management fees and to exclude certain
positions from being included in the account balance for purposes of calculating the management fee. Also, we
do not include the value of your insurance products when determining the management fee.
We shall never have physical custody of any Client funds or securities, as the services of a qualified and
independent custodian will be used for those services.
Our annual Management Fee is exclusive of and in addition to brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses, which will be incurred by the client. However, we will not receive any portion of the
commissions, fees, and costs. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for further information on brokerage and
transaction costs.
If the disclosure brochure – Part 2 of the Form ADV - is not delivered to you within 48 hours prior to you entering
into the portfolio management agreement, you may terminate the portfolio management agreement within five
business days of the date of acceptance without penalty. If you received the disclosure documents 48 hours in
advance or if the five-day grace period has expired, either party may terminate the agreement upon written notice
to the other party. Refunds are not applicable because fees are payable in arrears.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services Fees
The compensation arrangement for pension consulting services is based on fixed fees, or a percentage of the plan
assets. Services will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. The exact services to be provided, the fee to be paid
by the client, fee payment arrangements, how to terminate the contract, and other terms will be clearly stated in
a pension consulting agreement signed by the client and Legacy Wealth.
Clients who choose to have Legacy Wealth’s fee deducted directly from their account must provide authorization.
The qualified custodian holding client funds and securities, or the plan recordkeeper will send an account
statement on at least a quarterly basis. This statement will detail account activity. Clients are encouraged to
review each statement for accuracy.
IRA Rollover Considerations
As a normal extension of financial advice, we provide education or recommendations related to the rollover of an
employer-sponsored retirement plan. A plan participant leaving employment has several options. Each choice
offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on desired investment options and services, fees and expenses,
withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and the investor's unique financial needs and
retirement plans. The complexity of these choices may lead an investor to seek assistance from us.
An Associated Person who recommends an investor roll over plan assets into an Individual Retirement Account
(“IRA”) may earn an asset-based fee as a result, but no compensation if assets are retained in the plan. Thus, we
have an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA. In most cases, fees and
expenses will increase to the investor as a result because the above-described fees will apply to assets rolled over
to an IRA and outlined ongoing services will be extended to these assets.
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. We have to act in your best interests and not put
our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests.
Additional Information About Fees and Expenses
Advisory recommendations are based on the financial information and situation that you disclose to us at the
time services are provided. Certain assumptions may be made with respect to interest and inflation rates and the
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 10
use of past trends and performance of the market and economy. Past performance is in no way an indication of
future returns. As your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change, you must notify us promptly.
Legacy Wealth’s fees are negotiable based on the complexity of client goals and objectives and level of services
rendered. We also allow Associated Persons servicing the account to negotiate the exact investment management
fee within the range disclosed in our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. As a result, the Associated Person servicing your
account may charge more or less for the same service than another Associated Person of our firm. Further, our
annual investment management fee may be higher than that charged by other investment advisors offering
similar services/programs.
All fees paid to Legacy Wealth for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange traded funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund's prospectus. These fees generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, early
redemption fee, and a possible distribution fee. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services
of Legacy Wealth. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by Legacy Wealth, which are
designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate
to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by
the funds and the fees charged by Legacy Wealth to understand fully the total amount of fees to be paid by the
client and to evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Billing on Cash Positions: The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as an asset class. Accordingly, unless otherwise
agreed in writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) are included as part of
assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. At any specific point in time,
depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such
anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash equivalent positions for
defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or cash equivalents, such amounts
could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at any point in time, the firm’s advisory fee could
exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash equivalent positions.
Periods of Portfolio Inactivity: The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best
interest. As part of its investment advisory services, the firm will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to
determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to investment
performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial
circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there may
be extended periods of time when the firm determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary
nor prudent. Notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s annual investment advisory fee will
continue to apply during these periods, and there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by the
firm will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Compensation for the Sale of Investment Products
Compensation for the Sale of Securities
Certain Executive officers and other Associated Persons of Legacy Wealth are registered representatives of DMK
Advisor Group, Inc. (“DMK”), a licensed full-service securities broker-dealer and investment adviser under federal
and state securities laws. DMK is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the
Securities Investors Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). In their capacity as registered representatives, these persons
will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including
12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by these persons in their
capacities as registered representatives, is separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a
conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are registered
representatives have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions
rather than solely based on your needs. As a matter of general policy, we aggressively discourage activities that
put your interests anywhere but first. Additionally, we have instituted compliance procedures and a code of ethics
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 11
that requires our Associated Persons to uphold their fiduciary duty by acting in the best interest of the client.
Clients of our firm have the option to purchase investment products that we recommend through other brokers
and agents that are not affiliated with our firm. Further, Executive Officers and Associated Persons of Legacy
Wealth will never receive commissions for securities transactions in advisory accounts managed by Legacy
Wealth.
Compensation for the Sale of Insurance Products
Legacy Wealth is an insurance agency and certain Executive officers and other Associated Persons of Legacy
Wealth are licensed as independent insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation
for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to our clients. Associated Persons of our firm
are also able to share in insurance commissions generated by other insurance professionals to whom we refer
clients. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate from and in addition to our advisory fees.
The sale of insurance instruments and other commissionable products offered by Associated Persons is intended
to complement our advisory services. However, this practice presents a conflict of interest because persons
providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend
insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. We
address this conflict of interest by recommending insurance products only where we, in good faith, believe that
it is appropriate for the client’s particular needs and circumstances and only after a full presentation of the
recommended insurance product to our client. In addition, we explain the insurance underwriting process to our
clients to illustrate how the insurer also reviews the client’s application and disclosures prior to the issuance of a
resulting insuring agreement. Clients to whom the firm offers advisory services are informed that they are under
no obligation to purchase insurance services. Clients who do choose to purchase insurance services are under no
obligation to use our licensed Associated Persons and may use the insurance brokerage firm and agent they
choose.
Where fixed annuities are sold, clients should also note that the annuity sales could result in substantial up-front
commissions and ongoing trails based on the annuity’s total value. In addition, many annuities contain surrender
charges and/or restrictions on access to your funds. Payments and withdrawals can have tax consequences.
Optional lifetime income benefit riders are used to calculate lifetime payments only and are not available for cash
surrender or in a death benefit unless specified in the annuity contract. In some annuity products, fees can apply
when using an income rider. Annuity guarantees are based on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of
the issuing insurance company. We urge our clients to read all insurance contract disclosures carefully before
making a purchase decision. Rates and returns mentioned on any program presented are subject to change
without notice. Insurance products are subject to fees and additional expenses.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management - Item 6
Performance-based fees are based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the client’s assets. Our
firm and Associated Persons do not accept performance-based fees.
Types of Clients - Item 7
We generally offer investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations,
corporations, and other business entities.
Legacy Wealth does not require a minimum amount of assets to open and maintain an advisory account.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss - Item 8
Legacy Wealth will use various internal and external methods of analysis to determine an appropriate investment
strategy. We seek to recommend investment strategies or products that will give you a diversified portfolio
consistent with your investment objective. We do this by analyzing the various products, investment strategies,
and external portfolio managers to which we provide access. That analysis includes a review of the structure, cost,
and investment performance history of each manager. We also use research provided by third parties in
determining the type of investments that should be held in client portfolios.
Asset allocation models used by portfolio managers and/or other third-party investment managers are developed
in accordance with investment programs developed by these entities. Clients should refer to the relevant portfolio
manager’s and/or other third-party investment manager’s Form ADV Part 2 Brochures or comparable disclosure
documents for more information about the methods of analysis and investment strategies used by those firms.
Where internal analysis is conducted, we primarily use Fundamental, Technical, and Cyclical Analysis:
•
Fundamental Analysis is a method of evaluating a company or security by attempting to measure its
intrinsic value. In other words, trying to determine a company’s or a security’s true value by looking at
all aspects of the business, including both tangible factors (e.g., machinery buildings, land, etc.) and
intangible factors (e.g., patents, trademarks, “brand” names, etc.). Fundamental analysis also involves
examining related economic factors (e.g., overall economy and industry conditions, etc.), financial
factors (e.g., company debt, interest rates, management salaries and bonuses, etc.), qualitative factors
(e.g., management expertise, industry cycles, labor relations, etc.), and quantitative factors (e.g., debt-
to-equity and price-to-equity ratios). The end goal of performing fundamental analysis is to produce a
value that an investor can compare with the security's current price in hopes of determining what sort
of position to take with that security (underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short). This method of
security analysis is considered the opposite of technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is about using
real data to evaluate a security's value. Although most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks,
this method of valuation can be used for just about any type of security. The risk associated with
fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an
accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securities prices adjust rapidly
to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance.
• Technical Analysis is a technique that relies on the assumption that current market data (such as charts
of price, volume, and open interest) can help predict future market trends, at least in the short term. It
assumes that market psychology influences trading and can predict when stocks will rise or fall. Technical
trading models are mathematically driven based upon historical data and trends of domestic and foreign
market trading activity, including various industry and sector trading statistics within such markets.
Technical trading models, through mathematical algorithms, attempt to identify when markets are likely
to increase or decrease and identify appropriate entry and exit points. The primary risk of technical
trading models is that historical trends and past performance cannot predict future trends, and there is
no assurance that the mathematical algorithms employed are designed properly, updated with new data,
and can accurately predict future market, industry, and sector performance.
• Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market conditions at a
macro (entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than the overall fundamental
analysis of the health of the particular company. The primary risks with cyclical analysis are similar to
those of technical analysis.

Investment Strategies
We may use one or more of the following investment strategies when advising you on investments:
• Long Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will
grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. Using a long-term purchase
strategy generally assumes 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. Purchasing
investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized
in the short-term in other investments.
• Short Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively
short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-term price
fluctuations. Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial
markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately
higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that can
affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical
earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of time.
• Trading – securities are sold within 30 days. The principal type of risk associated with trading is market
risk. There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and past
performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income
derived may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Other factors,
such as changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political and
economic developments, and government, economic or monetary policies, may affect investments as
well. Additionally, trading is speculative. Market movements are difficult to predict and are influenced
by, among other things, government trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies;
changing supply and demand relationships; national and international political and economic events;
changes in interest rates; and the inherent volatility of the marketplace. In addition, governments from
time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, often with the intent to influence
prices directly. The effects of governmental intervention may be particularly significant at certain times
in the financial instrument markets and such intervention (as well as other factors) may cause these
markets to move rapidly.
• Margin Transactions – margin strategies allow an investor to purchase securities on credit and to borrow
on securities already in their custodial account. Interest is charged on any borrowed funds for the period
that the loan is outstanding. When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or you
may borrow part of the purchase price from your broker-dealer. If you intend to borrow funds in
connection with your account, you will be required to open a margin account, which will be carried by the
broker-dealer of your account. The securities purchased in such an account are the broker-dealer’s
collateral for its loan to you. If the securities in a margin account decline in value, the value of the
collateral supporting this loan also declines, and, as a result, a brokerage firm is required to take action,
such as issue a margin call and/or sell securities or other assets in your accounts, in order to maintain
necessary level of equity in the account. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in
trading securities on margin, which are applicable to any margin account that you may maintain,
including any margin Account that may be established as a part of our advisory services and held by your
broker-dealer. These risks include the following:
o You can lose more funds than you deposit in your margin account.
o The broker-dealer can force the sale of securities or other assets in your account.
o The broker-dealer can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you.
o You may not be able to choose which securities or other assets in your margin account are
liquidated or sold to meet a margin call.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 14
o The broker-dealer may move securities held in your cash account to your margin account and
pledge the transferred securities.
o You may not be entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.
• Option Writing – an option is the right either to buy or sell a specified amount or value of a particular
underlying investment instrument at a fixed price (i.e., the “exercise price”) by exercising the option
before its specified expiration date. Options giving you the right to buy are called “call” options. Options
giving you the right to sell are called “put” options. When trading options on behalf of a client, we
generally use covered options. Covered options involve options trading when you own the underlying
instrument on which the option is based. Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value
in a relatively short period. Options contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single
contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Clients should fully
understand the nature of the contractual relationship(s) into which they are entering and the extent of their
exposure to risk. Certain investing strategies may not be suitable for many members of the public. You should
carefully consider whether the strategies employed would be appropriate for you in light of your experience,
objectives, financial resources, and other relevant circumstances.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
As disclosed under the “Advisory Business” section in this Brochure, we provide advice on various types of
securities and we do not necessarily recommend one particular type of security over another since each client
has different needs and different tolerance for risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated
with it and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific risks of every type of investment. Even within
the same type of investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated
return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with it.
General Investment Risk: All investments come with the risk of losing money. Investing involves substantial risks,
including the complete possible loss of principal plus other losses, and may not be suitable for many members of
the public. Investments, unlike savings and checking accounts at a bank, are not insured by the government to
protect against market losses. Different market instruments carry different types and degrees of risk and you
should familiarize yourself with the risks involved in the particular market instruments in which you intend to
invest.
Loss of Value: There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and
past performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income
derived may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Investments may also
be affected by any changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political,
and economic developments, and governmental economic or monetary policies.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed income securities and funds that invest in bonds and other fixed income securities may
fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall, and their
prices fall when interest rates rise. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Credit Risk: Investments in bonds and other fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the issuer(s) may
not make required interest payments. An issuer suffering an adverse change in its financial condition could lower
the credit quality of a security, leading to greater price volatility of the security. A lowering of the credit rating of
a security may also offset the security's liquidity, making it more difficult to sell. Funds investing in lower-quality
debt securities are more susceptible to these problems and their value may be more volatile.
Foreign Exchange Risk: Foreign investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange control
regulations or changes in the exchange rates. Changes in currency exchange rates may influence the share value,
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 15
the dividends or interest earned, and the gains and losses realized. Exchange rates between currencies are
determined by supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, the international balance of payments,
governmental intervention, speculation, and other economic and political conditions. If the currency in which a
security is denominated appreciates against the US Dollar, the value of the security will increase. Conversely, a
decline in the exchange rate of the currency would adversely affect the value of the security.
Equity (stock) Market Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile
increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If you held
common stock, or common stock equivalents, of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed to greater risk
than if you held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer.
Company Risk: When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of company or industry specific
risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred to as unsystematic risk and can be reduced through
appropriate diversification. There is the risk that the company will perform poorly or have its value reduced based
on factors specific to the company or its industry. For example, if a company’s employees go on strike or the
company receives unfavorable media attention for its actions, the value of the company may be reduced.
Tariff Risk: Each administration presents its own set of policy risks that could impact investors. One of the policy
tools that an administration can implement is the imposition of tariffs, or the threats thereof. The scope,
implementation, and duration of tariffs can create uncertainty domestically and globally. Industries that rely on
imported raw material or that have heavily integrated cross-border manufacturing practices may be most
impacted by the imposition of tariffs. However, it is challenging to predict the impact of actual and/or threatened
tariffs and impossible to predict future policy decisions. When tariffs are imposed, there is also a higher probability
that retaliatory tariffs could be imposed, which could further impact industries and products. Tariffs in general
can also permanently alter global supply chains and have far-reaching indirect impacts. Tariffs can hurt economic
growth and add to inflation, which can lead to rising interest rates.
Fixed Income Risk: When investing in bonds, there is the risk that the issuer will default on the bond and be
unable to make payments. Further, individuals who depend on set amounts of periodically paid income face the
risk that inflation will erode their spending power. Fixed-income investors receive set, regular payments that face
the same inflation risk.
Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred Securities have similar characteristics to bonds in that preferred securities
are designed to make fixed payments based on a percentage of their par value and are senior to common stock.
Like bonds, the market value of preferred securities is sensitive to changes in interest rates as well as changes in
issuer credit quality. Preferred securities, however, are junior to bonds with regard to the distribution of corporate
earnings and liquidation in the event of bankruptcy. Preferred securities that are in the form of preferred stock
also differ from bonds in that dividends on preferred stock must be declared by the issuer’s board of directors,
whereas interest payments on bonds generally do not require action by the issuer’s board of directors, and
bondholders generally have protections that preferred stockholders do not have, such as indentures that are
designed to guarantee payments – subject to the credit quality of the issuer – with terms and conditions for the
benefit of bondholders. In contrast preferred stocks generally pay dividends, not interest payments, which can
be deferred or stopped in the event of credit stress without triggering bankruptcy or default. Another difference
is that preferred dividends are paid from the issue’s after-tax profits, while bond interest is paid before taxes.
Risks Associated with Investing in Mutual Funds: Mutual funds are professionally managed collective investment
systems that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments,
other mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the
fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds generally provide
diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a significant
degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund with different
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 16
types of securities. The returns on mutual funds can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. In addition,
while some mutual funds are “no load” and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, other types of mutual funds
do charge such fees which can also reduce returns.
Risks Associated with Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Investing in stocks & ETF's carries the risk of
capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Investments in these
securities are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
Management Risk: Your investment with our firm varies with the success and failure of our investment strategies,
research, analysis, and determination of portfolio securities. If our investment strategies do not produce the
expected returns, the value of the investment will decrease.
Municipal Securities Risk: The value of municipal obligations can fluctuate over time. Value may be affected by
adverse political, legislative, and tax changes. Financial developments affecting the municipal issuers affect the
value as well. Because many municipal obligations are issued to finance similar projects by municipalities (e.g.,
housing, healthcare, water and sewer projects, etc.), conditions in the sector related to the project can affect the
overall municipal market. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on an issuer’s general unrestricted
revenues; revenue generated by a specific project, the operator of the project, or government appropriation or
aid. There is a greater risk if investors can look only at the revenue generated by the project. In addition, municipal
bonds generally are traded in the “over-the-counter” market among dealers and other large institutional
investors. From time to time, liquidity in the municipal bond market (the ability to buy and sell bonds readily) may
be reduced in response to overall economic conditions and credit tightening.
Risks Associated with Alternative Investments
Alternative investments such as non-traded REITs, business development companies, limited partnerships, and
direct alternatives are subject to various risks such as devaluation based on adverse market conditions, and may
not be suitable for all investors. Investors considering an investment strategy utilizing alternative investments
should understand that alternative investments are generally considered speculative in nature; and, such
investments involve a high degree of risk, particularly if concentrating investments in one or few alternative
investments.
Alternative investments are generally illiquid. Illiquid investments involve the risk that investments may not be
readily sold at the desired time or price. Securities that are illiquid, that are not publicly traded, and/or for which
no market is currently available may be difficult to purchase or sell, which may impact the price or timing of a
transaction. An inability to sell securities can adversely affect an account's value or prevent an account from taking
advantage of other investment opportunities. Lack of liquidity may cause the value of investments to decline and
illiquid investments may also be difficult to value. A client may not be able to liquidate an investment in the event
of an emergency or any other reason. In addition, investments in an illiquid asset vehicle will be subject to the
terms and conditions of the illiquid asset vehicle’s investment policy and governing documents that often include
provisions that may involve investor lock-in periods, mandatory capital calls, redemption restrictions, infrequent
valuation of assets, etc. In addition, investments in illiquid securities or vehicles may normally involve investment
in non-marketable securities where there is limited transparency. Investments in illiquid securities or vehicles may
also include restrictions on withdrawal rights and shares may not be freely transferable.
Clients participating in alternative investments should closely read the relevant prospectus or private placement
memorandum prior to investing. Such documents are intended to include all material risks of such investments
and are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The preceding disclosure is not a solicitation or offering which
can only be made in conjunction with the delivery of a prospectus.
Risks Associated with Investing in Private Funds: Private investment funds are not registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and may not be registered with any other regulatory authority. Accordingly, they are
not subject to certain regulatory restrictions and oversight to which other issuers are subject. There may be little
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 17
public information available about their investments and performance. Moreover, as sales of shares of private
investment companies are generally restricted to certain qualified purchasers, it could be difficult for a client to
sell its shares of a private investment company at an advantageous price and time. Since shares of private
investment companies are not publicly traded, from time to time it may be difficult to establish a fair value for
the client’s investment in these companies.
Risks Associated with Investing in Options: Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. A relatively small
market movement will have a proportionately larger impact, which may work for or against the investor. The
placing of certain orders, which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts, may not be effective because
market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Selling ("writing" or "granting") an option
generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing options. Although the premium received by the seller
is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in excess of that amount. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of
the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obliged either to settle the option in cash or to acquire
or deliver the underlying investment. If the option is "covered" by the seller holding a corresponding position in
the underlying investment or a future on another option, the risk may be reduced.
Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities are subject to additional risks not typically associated with investments
in domestic securities. These risks may include, among others, currency risks, country risks (political, diplomatic,
regional conflicts, terrorism, war, social and economic instability, currency devaluations, and policies that have
the effect of limiting or restricting foreign investment or the movement of assets), different trading practices, less
government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, and greater volatility. To the
extent that underlying funds invest in issuers located in emerging markets, the risk may be heightened by political
changes, changes in taxation, or currency controls that could adversely affect the values of these investments.
Emerging markets have been more volatile than the markets of developed countries with more mature
economies.
Cybersecurity Risks – The firm and its service providers are subject to risks associated with a breach in
cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a generic term used to describe the technology, processes, and practices designed
to protect networks, systems, computers, programs, and data from cyber-attacks and hacking by other computer
users, and to avoid the resulting damage and disruption of hardware and software systems, loss or corruption of
data, and/or misappropriation of confidential information. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, however,
unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks may cause losses to clients by interfering with the
processing of transactions, affecting the ability to calculate net asset value, or impeding or sabotaging trading.
Clients may also incur substantial costs as the result of a cybersecurity breach, including those associated with
forensic analysis of the origin and scope of the breach, increased and upgraded cybersecurity, identity theft,
unauthorized use of proprietary information, litigation, and the dissemination of confidential and proprietary
information. Any such breach could expose our firm to civil liability as well as regulatory inquiry and/or action. In
addition, clients could be exposed to additional losses as a result of unauthorized use of their personal
information. While our firm has established business continuity plans, incident response plans, and systems
designed to prevent cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the
possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Similar types of cyber security risks also are present for
issuers of securities in which we invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and
may cause a client’s investment in such securities to lose value.
Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase morbidity and mortality over a
wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries, and causing significant economic, social, and political
disruption. It is difficult to predict the long-term impact of such events because they are dependent on a variety
of factors including the global response of regulators and governments to address and mitigate the worldwide
effects of such events. Workforce reductions, travel restrictions, governmental responses and policies, and
macroeconomic factors will negatively impact investment returns.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 18
Environmental, Social, and Governance Investment Criteria Risk: If a portfolio is subject to certain
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG
reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities or may sell certain securities
for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the
application of the portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers,
industries, sectors, and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively
or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor.
An adviser can vary materially from other advisers with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios
or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a
result, an adviser’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by
other ESG advisers concerning the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria are dependent on data and are subject to
the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third-party sources may be subjective, or it may be
objective in principle but not verified or reliable.
Risks Associated with Investing in Inverse and Leveraged Funds: Leveraged mutual funds and ETFs generally seek
to deliver multiples of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track. Inverse mutual funds and
ETFs generally seek to deliver the opposite of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track.
Inverse funds often are marketed as a way for investors to profit from, or at least hedge their exposure to,
downward-moving markets. Some Inverse funds are both inverse and leveraged, meaning that they seek a return
that is a multiple of the inverse performance of the underlying index. To accomplish their objectives, leveraged
and inverse funds use a range of investment strategies, including swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative
instruments. Leveraged, inverse, and leveraged inverse funds are more volatile and riskier than traditional funds
due to their exposure to leverage and derivatives, particularly total return swaps and futures. At times, we will
recommend leveraged and/or inversed funds, which may amplify gains and losses.
Most leveraged funds are typically designed to achieve their desired exposure on a daily (in a few cases, monthly)
basis, and reset their leverage daily. A "single day" is measured from the time the leveraged fund calculates its
net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the leveraged fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the leveraged fund
for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period. Due to
the effect of this mathematical compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ
significantly from the performance (or inverse performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the
same period of time. For periods longer than a single day, the leveraged fund will lose money when the level of
the Index is flat, and the leveraged fund may lose money even if the level of the Index rises. Longer holding
periods, higher index volatility, and greater leverage all exacerbate the impact of compounding on an investor's
returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the leveraged fund's return
as much as or more than the return of the Index itself. Therefore, holding leveraged, inverse, and leveraged
inverse funds for longer periods of time increases their risk due to the effects of compounding and the inherent
difficulty in market timing. Leveraged funds are riskier than similarly benchmarked funds that do not use leverage.
Non-traditional funds are highly volatile and not suitable for all investors. They provide the potential for significant
losses.
Risks Associated with Investing in Buffer ETFs: Buffer ETFs are also known as defined-outcome ETFs since the ETF
is designed to offer downside protection for a specified period of time. These ETFs are modeled after options-
based structured notes, but are generally cheaper, and offer more liquidity. Buffer ETFs are designed to safeguard
against market downturns by employing complex options strategies. Buffer ETFs typically charge higher
management fees that are considerably more than the index funds whose performance they attempt to track.
Additionally, because buffer funds own options, they do not receive dividends from their equity holdings. Both
factors result in the underperformance of the Buffer ETF compared to the index they attempt to track. Clients
should carefully read the prospectus for a buffer ETF to fully understand the cost structures, risks, and features
of these complex products.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC

Page 19
Direct Indexing: Direct indexing strategies seek to replicate the performance of a market index by directly holding
the individual securities, or a representative sample of the individual securities, that make up the index. Direct
indexing can provide a more tax efficient means of investing, and allows for more customized investment
allocations, than investing in a fund or other commingled product that seeks to replicate the index. The potential
benefits of direct indexing, however, will not necessarily be realized if a client does not take advantage of tax
planning or impose account restrictions, such as account level security or sector-based restrictions or
customizations based on specific tax, Environmental, Social, and Governance or other preferences. Fees and
expenses for the direct indexing strategy in some cases will be higher than the fees and expenses associated with
alternative index products. Higher fees and expenses could adversely impact account performance. The size of
the account and the number of securities in the index the account seeks to replicate also limit the ability of the
account to replicate the index. As a result, the direct indexing strategy introduces the risk of tracking error relative
to the index and can cause a portfolio to underperform the index, including as a result of customization.
Securities Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOCs): SBLOCs are non-purpose loans where you pledge assets in your
account as collateral in return for a loan. The loan proceeds can be used for purposes other than to purchase or
trade securities. Depending on your objectives, we can help you apply for a SBLOC. This can be a strategic
alternative to liquidating assets to pay for unexpected expenses, a business opportunity, or a personal goal, any
of which could trigger capital gain taxes. While we do not receive a fee for arranging these loans, our assistance
in this process presents a conflict of interest, as we have an incentive for you to maintain these assets in your
account instead of liquidating them, as liquidation could decrease the asset-based fees that we earn for managing
your account. To address this conflict, we only make recommendations to obtain such loans when we believe
obtaining a SBLOC is in the best interests of clients. Clients should note that they retain the ultimate decision to
obtain such loans. The following are some of the primary risks associated with obtaining a SBLOC:
You are only entitled to draw on the line to the extent there is credit availability; and
There may be additional risks when money funds or similar investments may produce less interest
Interest rate payments on the principal balance of the loan are not fixed and may increase;
•
If the value of the securities pledged as collateral decrease, you will be liable for any deficiency;
•
•
The lender can force the sale or liquidation of securities held as collateral without contacting you in
advance to meet collateral requirements and you are not entitled to choose which securities are liquidated or
sold;
•
•
income or other yield than the interest you are paying on the loan.
We urge our clients to carefully read all disclosures and agreements prior to entering into an SBLOC or non-
purpose loan. While we can assist in the application process, we are not involved in the approval process.
Political Risk: Each administration presents its own set of policy risks that could impact investors. One of the
policy tools that an administration can implement is the imposition of tariffs, or the threats thereof. The scope,
implementation, and duration of tariffs can create uncertainty domestically and globally. Industries that rely on
imported raw material or that have heavily integrated cross-border manufacturing practices may be most
impacted by the imposition of tariffs. However, it is challenging to predict the impact of actual and/or threatened
tariffs and impossible to predict future policy decisions. When tariffs are imposed, there is also a higher probability
that retaliatory tariffs could be imposed, which could further impact industries and products. Tariffs in general
can also permanently alter global supply chains and have far-reaching indirect impacts. Tariffs can hurt economic
growth and add to inflation, which can lead to rising interest rates.
Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Risk: We may rely on programs and systems that utilize AI, machine learning,
probabilistic modeling, and other data science technologies ("AI Tools") when delivering our services. AI Tools are
also used to record and transcribe client meetings. Clients should note that AI Tools are highly complex, and are
known to have been flawed, hallucinate, reflect biases included in the data on which such tools are trained, be of
poor quality, or be otherwise harmful. AI Tools present Cybersecurity Risk. The U.S. and global legal and regulatory
environment relating to the use of AI Tools is uncertain and rapidly evolving, and could require changes in the
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC

firm’s implementation of AI Tools and increase compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance. Further, the firm
may rely on AI Tools developed by third parties, and the firm has limited control over the accuracy and
completeness of such AI Tools. Clients who do not want us to record their meetings have the option to opt out at
the time of the meeting.
Disciplinary Information - Item 9
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of our management. Neither we nor our
management persons have a history of material legal or disciplinary events to report in this section.
Other Financial Industry Activities or Affiliations - Item 10
Neither Legacy Wealth nor any of its management persons are registered as a futures commission merchant, a
commodity trading adviser, or a commodity pool operator, nor do they have an application pending or otherwise
in process for the purpose of seeking registration as any of these types of firms. Further, none of our management
persons are registered as or currently seeking registration as associated persons of any of these types of firms.
Compensation for the Sale of Insurance Products
Legacy Wealth is an insurance agency and certain Executive officers and other Associated Persons of Legacy
Wealth are licensed as independent insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation
for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Associated Persons of our firm are
also able to share in insurance commissions generated by other insurance professionals to whom we refer clients.
Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice
presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are
insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you to generate commissions rather
than recommending products based solely on your needs. As a matter of general policy, we aggressively
discourage activities that put your interests anywhere but first. Additionally, we have instituted compliance
procedures and a code of ethics that requires our Associated Persons to uphold their fiduciary duty by acting in
the best interest of the client.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities Products
As disclosed in Item 5 above, certain Executive officers and other Associated Persons of Legacy Wealth are
registered representatives of DMK Advisor Group, Inc. (“DMK”), a licensed full-service securities broker-dealer
and investment adviser under federal and state securities laws. DMK is a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). In their capacities as
registered representatives, these persons will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the
purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation
earned by these persons in their capacities as registered representatives is separate and in addition to our
advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf
of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to effect securities transactions to generate
commissions rather than making recommendations based solely on your needs. As a matter of general policy, we
aggressively discourage activities that put your interests anywhere but first. Additionally, we have instituted
compliance procedures and a code of ethics that requires our Associated Persons to uphold their fiduciary duty
by acting in the best interest of the client.

Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Neither our firm nor any of our Associated Persons have any material financial interest in client securities
transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this brochure.
Personal Trading Practices
At times, Legacy Wealth and/or its Associated Persons may take positions in the same securities as clients. This is
considered a conflict of interest with clients. Legacy Wealth and its Advisory Representatives will generally be
“last in” and “last out” for the trading day when trading occurs in close proximity to client trades, however, we
will uphold our fiduciary responsibilities to our clients. Front running (trading shortly ahead of clients) is
prohibited. Should a conflict occur because of materiality (e.g., a thinly traded stock), disclosure will be made to
the client(s) at the time of trading. Mutual fund purchases are not subject to these policies because the
transactions are executed at NAV at the end of the trading day.
Where client accounts are managed by a sub adviser, the firm and persons associated with the firm would not
necessarily be aware of the timing of trades being considered prior to the transaction. However, where the firm
and/or its Associated Persons are aware that a sub adviser is considering specific transactions for clients’ accounts

on a specific trading day where there is a potential material conflict, they will make every effort to be “last in”
and “last out” for the trading day when trading occurs in close proximity to client trades.
Brokerage Practices - Item 12
Legacy Wealth does not maintain custody of your assets that we manage, although we will be deemed to have
custody of your assets if you give us authority to directly withdraw assets from your account (see Item 15—
Custody, below). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-
dealer, bank, or trust company, for example. We primarily recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. Where sub advisory services
are provided by Assetmark, Inc., clients will have the option of using AssetMark Trust Company as a custodian for
their accounts.
We are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with Schwab or AssetMark Trust Company.
Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we or you instruct them to.
While we primarily recommend that you use Schwab as custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and
will open your account with Schwab by entering into an account Agreement directly with them. Conflicts of
interest associated with this arrangement are described below as well as in Item 14 (Client Referrals and Other
Compensation). You should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting your custodian.
We do not open the account for you, although we may assist you in doing so. Not all advisors require their clients
to use a particular broker-dealer or other custodian selected by the advisor. Even though your account is
maintained at Schwab, and we anticipate that most trades will be executed through Schwab, we can still use other
brokers to execute trades for your account as described below (see “Your Brokerage and Custody Costs”).
How We Select Brokers/Custodians
When considering whether the terms that Schwab provides are, overall, most advantageous to you when
compared with other available providers and their services, we take into account a wide range of factors,
including:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a separate
fee for custody)
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill
payments, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs),
etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other fees, etc.)
and willingness to negotiate the prices

• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below
Your Brokerage and Custody Costs
For our clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge you separately for custody
services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle
into your Schwab account. Certain trades (for example, certain mutual funds and ETFs) do not incur Schwab
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 23
commissions or transaction fees. Schwab is also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your
account in Schwab’s Cash Features Program. In addition to transaction fees, Schwab charges you a flat dollar
amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker‐
dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into your
Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation you pay the executing
broker‐dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we will have Schwab execute most trades
for your account.
We are not required to select the broker or dealer that charges the lowest transaction cost, even if that broker
provides execution quality comparable to other brokers or dealers. Although we are not required to execute all
trades through Schwab, we have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty
to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based
on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see “How We Select Brokers/Custodians”). By using another
broker or dealer you may pay lower transaction costs.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits Received from Schwab
Although the following products and services are not purchased with “soft dollar” credits, we will receive certain
economic benefits (soft dollar benefits) from Schwab in the form of access to Schwab’s institutional brokerage
and support services at no additional cost or a discounted cost. Below is a detailed description of Schwab’s
support services:
Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like ours. They
provide our clients and us with access to their institutional brokerage services (trading, custody, reporting, and
related services), many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. However, certain retail
investors may be able to get institutional brokerage services from Schwab without going through us. Schwab also
makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’
accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services are generally available
on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request them) and at no charge to us.
Services that Benefit You: Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment
products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly
higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit
you and your account.
Services that Do Not Directly Benefit You: Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that
benefit us but do not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and
administering our clients’ accounts and operating our firm. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own
and that of third parties. We use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts,
including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab 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
provide pricing and other market data
facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
assist with back‐office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
•
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us: Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further
develop our business enterprise. These services include:
Educational conferences and events
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 24
Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Consulting on technology and business needs
• Consulting on legal and compliance‐related needs
•
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
• Marketing consulting and support
• Recruiting and custodial search consulting
Schwab provides some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third‐party vendors to provide the
services to us. Schwab also discounts or waives its fees for some of these services or pays all or a part of a third
party’s fees. Schwab also provides us with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment for our
personnel. If you did not maintain your account with Schwab, we would be required to pay for those services
from our own resources.
Legacy Wealth understands its duty for best execution and considers all factors in making recommendations to
clients. These research services may be useful in servicing all Legacy Wealth clients and may not be used in
connection with any particular account that may have paid compensation to the firm providing such services.
While Legacy Wealth may not always obtain the lowest commission rate, Legacy Wealth believes the rate is
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.
The availability of the above‐listed services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or
purchase them. We don’t have to pay for Schwab’s services.
Schwab has also agreed to pay for certain technology, research, marketing, and compliance consulting products
and services on our behalf once the value of our clients’ assets in accounts at Schwab reaches certain thresholds.
The fact that we receive these benefits from Schwab is an incentive for us to recommend the use of Schwab rather
than making such a decision based exclusively on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and
the most favorable execution of your transactions. This is a conflict of interest. We believe, however, that taken
in the aggregate our recommendation of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients.
Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of Schwab’s services (see “How We Select
Brokers/Custodians”) and not Schwab’s services that benefit only us.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such as
brokerage services or research.
Directed Brokerage
Legacy Wealth allows clients to direct brokerage. In such cases, Legacy Wealth may be unable to achieve the most
favorable execution of client transactions. This may cost more, because, without the ability to use Schwab, Legacy
Wealth will not be able to negotiate transactions fees or to aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs, resulting
in higher brokerage commissions and less favorable prices. Not all investment advisers allow their clients to direct
brokerage.
Aggregation of Orders (Block Trading)
When suitable, we combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for advisory accounts we
manage (this practice is commonly referred to as “block trading”). The shares are then distributed across
participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner. The distribution of the shares purchased is typically
proportionate to the size of the account, but it is not based on account performance or the amount or structure
of management fees. Accounts owned by our firm or persons associated with our firm may participate in block
trading with your accounts; however, they will not be given preferential treatment.
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 25
We combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for client accounts. We do not combine
multiple orders for shares of the same mutual funds purchased for advisory accounts we manage because mutual
funds do not trade in blocks.
Review of Accounts - Item 13
Accounts are reviewed on a continuous basis by the Associated Person named as adviser of record on the account.
The frequency of reviews is determined based on the client’s investment objectives, but reviews are conducted
at least annually. Additional reviews are usually triggered by a change in the client’s investment objectives, tax
considerations, large deposits or withdrawals, large purchases or sales, loss of confidence in corporate
management, or changes in macroeconomic climate.
A financial plan is a snapshot in time and no ongoing reviews are conducted unless you have engaged us for
ongoing portfolio management services. We recommend a plan review at least annually. The plan review will be
subject to an additional fee, unless you have engaged us for ongoing portfolio management services.
The client’s independent custodian provides account statements directly to the client at least quarterly. Sub
advisers will also provide clients with performance reports on at least a quarterly basis. The custodian’s statement
is the official record of the client’s securities account and supersedes any statements or reports created on behalf
of the client by the sub adviser(s). Legacy Wealth will not provide clients with a separate report.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation - Item 14
Economic Benefits Received from Non-Clients for Providing Investment Advice to Clients
Economic Benefits Received from Custodians
Legacy Wealth has brokerage and clearing arrangements with Schwab. Legacy Wealth may receive additional
benefits from these firms in the form of electronic delivery of client information, electronic trading platforms,
institutional trading support, proprietary and/or third-party research, continuing education, practice
management advice, and other services provided by custodians for the benefit of investment advisory clients.
Please refer to item 12 above for more information about the receipt of additional benefits from broker-
dealers/account custodians.
Economic Benefits Received from Vendors
Occasionally, Legacy Wealth and our Associated Persons will receive additional compensation from vendors.
Compensation could include such items as gifts; an occasional dinner or ticket to a sporting event; reimbursement
in connection with educational meetings with an Associated Person, reimbursement for consulting services, client
workshops, or events; or marketing events or advertising initiatives, including services for identifying prospective
clients.
Economic Benefits Received from Product Sponsors
Product sponsors may also pay for or reimburse Legacy Wealth for the costs associated with the firm’s employees
and investment adviser representatives attending various education or training events, as well as Legacy Wealth’s
sponsored conferences and events.
The receipt of additional economic benefits presents a conflict of interest because our firm and Associated
Persons have an incentive to recommend and use vendors based on the additional economic benefits obtained
Legacy Wealth Partners LLC
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure
Page 26
rather than solely on the client’s needs. We address this conflict of interest by recommending vendors that we,
in good faith, believe are appropriate for the client’s particular needs. Clients are under no obligation
contractually or otherwise, to use any of the vendors recommended by us.
Compensation for Client Referrals
Legacy Wealth does not engage promoters or otherwise compensate third parties for client referrals.
Custody - Item 15
We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities. Where we have delegated the sub adviser
with fee deduction authority, the sub adviser calculates the fee and debits the fees from the client’s custodial
account on behalf of Legacy Wealth. Otherwise, Legacy Wealth will calculate the fee and debit such fees from the
client’s custodial account. You will provide the party responsible for the fee deduction written authorization
permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further, the qualified custodian will deliver an account
statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements will show all disbursements from your account.
You should review all statements for accuracy.
With respect to third party standing letters of authorization (“SLOA”) where a client grants us authority to direct
custodians to disburse funds to one or more third party accounts, we are deemed to have custody pursuant to
Rule 206(4)-2 (the “Custody Rule”). We have taken steps to have controls and oversight in place to comply with
the no-action letter issued by the SEC on February 21, 2017 (the “SEC no-action letter”). We are not required to
comply with the surprise examination requirements of the Custody Rule if we are in compliance with the
representations noted in the SEC no-action letter. Where our firm acts pursuant to a SLOA, we believe we are
making a good faith effort to comply with the representations noted in the SEC no-action letter. Additionally,
since many of the representations noted in the SEC no-action letter involve the qualified custodian’s operations,
we will collaborate closely with our custodian(s) to ensure that the representations are met.
Your funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other independent, qualified custodian. You
will receive account statements from the independent, qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and securities at
least quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of our advisory fees
deducted from your account. If you also receive an account statement from the sub adviser, we encourage you
to compare the account statement received from the custodian with the account statement received from the
sub adviser. You should carefully review account statements for accuracy. If you have questions regarding your
account or if you did not receive a statement from your custodian, please contact us at (720) 552-8287 or at
alexander.cameron@lwp-llc.com.
Investment Discretion - Item 16
Legacy Wealth’s portfolio management services are offered on a discretionary basis. This authority is granted to
us by you in the Investment Management Agreement. This allows our firm and/or the sub adviser to choose the
quantity of the securities to be purchased or sold and whether to place buy or sell orders for your account without
obtaining your approval for each transaction.
If you wish, you may limit our discretionary authority by, for example, setting a limit on the type of securities that
can be purchased for your account. Simply provide us with your restrictions or guidelines in writing. Please refer
to the “Advisory Business” section in this Brochure for more information on our discretionary management
services.

Voting Client Securities - Item 17
Legacy Wealth does not vote proxies. It is the client's responsibility to vote proxies. Clients will receive proxy
materials directly from the custodian. Questions about proxies may be made via the contact information on the
cover page.
Financial Information - Item 18
We are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about Legacy
Wealth’s, financial condition. Legacy Wealth does not require the prepayment of over $1,200, six or more months
in advance. Additionally, Legacy Wealth has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual
and fiduciary commitments to clients, and Legacy Wealth has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
Requirements of State-Registered Advisers - Item 19
This section is not applicable because our firm is SEC-registered.
