ITEM 4 - ADVISORY BUSINESS
Description of Advisory Firm
Legacy PCG (the “Firm”) offers a variety of advisory services, which include financial planning,
consulting, and investment management services. Prior to Legacy PCG rendering any of the
foregoing services, clients are required to enter into one or more written agreements with
Legacy PCG setting forth the relevant items and conditions of the advisory relationship (the
“Advisory Agreement”).
Legacy PCG has been registered as an investment adviser since July 2016 and is principally
owned by Roman, LLC. Roberto Roman is the principal owners of Roman, LLC. As of
December 31, 2024, Legacy PCG’s assets under management totaled $206,197,659:
$180,986,055 in discretionary assets; and $25,211,604 in non-discretionary assets.
While this brochure generally describes the business of Legacy PCG, certain sections also
discuss the activities of its Supervised Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners,
directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions),
employees or any other person who provides investment advice on Legacy PCG’s behalf and
is subject to the Firm’s supervision or control.
Advisory Services Offered
Legacy PCG offers the following services to advisory clients:
Financial Planning Services
Legacy PCG offers clients a broad range of financial planning services, which may include any or all of
the following functions:
• Retirement Planning
• Education Planning
• Trust and Estate Planning
• Cash Flow Planning
Insurance Planning
•
• Tax Planning
•
Investment Policy Statement Planning
While each of these services is available on a stand-alone basis, certain of them may also be rendered in
conjunction with investment portfolio management as part of a comprehensive wealth management
engagement (described in more detail below).
In performing these services, Legacy PCG is not required to verify any information received from the
client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly
authorized to rely on such information. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding
implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Legacy
4
Legacy PCG, LLC Disclosure Brochure
PCG under a financial planning or consulting engagement. Clients are advised that it remains their
responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any change in their financial situation or investment
objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising Legacy PCG’s recommendations
and/or services.
Investment and Wealth Management Services
Legacy PCG manages client investment portfolios on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. In
addition, Legacy PCG may provide clients with wealth management services which may include a broad
range of comprehensive financial planning services as well as discretionary and/or non-discretionary
management of investment portfolios.
Legacy PCG primarily allocates client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual debt and equity securities, and independent investment managers
(“Independent Managers”) in accordance with their stated investment objectives. In addition, Legacy
PCG may also recommend that certain eligible clients invest in privately placed securities, which may
include debt, equity and/or interests in pooled investment vehicles (e.g., hedge funds).
The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with
the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the
Advisor and the Client. Clients may engage Legacy PCG to manage and/or advise on certain
investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance
and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans
(i.e. 529 plans). In these situations, Legacy PCG directs or recommends the allocation of client assets
among the various investment options available with the product. These assets are generally
maintained at the underwriting insurance company or the custodian designated by the product’s provider.
Legacy PCG tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure,
on a continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and
objectives. Legacy PCG consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk
tolerance, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of
their portfolios. Clients are advised to promptly notify Legacy PCG if there are changes in their financial
situation or if they wish to place any limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients may
impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their accounts if Legacy PCG
determines, in its sole discretion, the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a
management strategy or prove overly burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts.

Legacy PCG, LLC Disclosure Brochure
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
Legacy PCG provides various consulting services to qualified employee benefit plans and their
fiduciaries. The suite of institutional services is designed to assist to plan sponsors in structuring,
managing and optimizing their corporate retirement plans. Each engagement is individually negotiated
and customized, and may include any of the following services:
• Plan Design and Strategy
• Plan Review and Evaluation
• Executive Planning & Benefits
Investment Selection
•
• Plan Fee and Cost Analysis
• Plan Committee Consultation
• Participant Education
Use of Independent Managers
As mentioned above, Legacy PCG may select certain Independent Managers to actively manage a
portion of its clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an
Independent Manager may be set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated
Independent Manager. In addition to this brochure, clients may also receive the written disclosure
documents of the respective Independent Managers engaged to manage their assets.
Legacy PCG evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which may include
the Independent Managers’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent
Managers themselves and other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible,
the Firm seeks to assess the Independent Managers’ investment strategies, past performance and risk
results in relation to its clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. Legacy PCG also
takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial
strength, reporting, pricing and research capabilities, among other factors.
Legacy PCG continues to provide services relative to the discretionary or non-discretionary
selection of the Independent Managers. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of
those accounts being managed by Independent Managers. Legacy PCG seeks to ensure the
Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment
objectives and overall best interests.
Alternative Investments
Based on the needs and objectives of the Client, the Advisor provides investment advice regarding
unaffiliated alternative investments. The Advisor’s performs initial and ongoing due diligence on
alternative investments, while also monitoring the investment. In certain instances, Advisory
Persons may be entitled to an incentive fee for an investment into alternative investment or the
Advisor may also be entitled to receive revenues for certain alternative investments where Client
assets are invested, where the Advisor will furnish additional disclosures detailing the conflict of
interest and how such conflict is mitigated. Clients are under no obligation to consider or make an
investment in alternative investment[s].
6
ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Legacy PCG offers services on a fee basis, which may include fixed fees, as well as fees based upon
assets under management.
Fee Schedule
Financial Planning Services Fees
Financial planning is offered on an hourly or negotiated fixed fee basis. The payment is due upon delivery
of the plan. If the client cancels within five (5) business days, no fees will be due. If a client cancels after
five (5) business days, Advisor is entitled to any earned fees and will bill the client. Services are
completed and delivered inside of forty-five (45) days.
These fees are negotiable, but generally range from $1,500 to $15,000, depending upon the scope and
complexity of the services and the professional rendering the financial planning and/or the consulting
services. If the client engages the Firm for additional investment advisory services, Legacy PCG
may offset all or a portion of its fees for those services based upon the amount paid for the financial
planning and/or consulting services.
The terms and conditions of the financial planning and/or consulting engagement are set forth in the
Advisory Agreement, and Legacy PCG generally requires one-half of the fee (estimated hourly or fixed)
payable upon execution of the Advisory Agreement. The outstanding balance is generally due upon
delivery of the financial plan or completion of the agreed upon services. The Firm does not, however,
take receipt of $1,200 or more in prepaid fees more than six months in advance of services rendered. A
conflict could exist between the interest of the principal of Advisor and the interest of the client.
Under California Code of Regulations, 10 CCR Section 260.235.2, it requires that the conflict
of interest, which exists between the interests of the investment advisor and the interests of the
client when offering financial planning services, be disclosed. The client is under no obligation
to act upon our recommendation and if the client elects to act on any of Advisor’s
recommendations, the client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through Advisor.
Investment Management Services Fees
Legacy PCG offers investment management services for an annual fee based on the amount
of assets under the Firm’s management. This management fee generally varies between 50
and 100 basis points (0.50% – 1.00%), depending upon the size and composition of a client’s
portfolio and the type of services rendered. The Firm can be engaged to provide wealth
management services where the financial planning services are included as part of the
investment management fees.
The annual fee is prorated and charged quarterly, in advance, based upon the market value of
the assets being managed by Legacy PCG on the last day of the previous billing period. For the
initial period of an engagement, the fee is calculated on a pro rata basis. In the event the advisory
agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing period is prorated through the effective date
of the termination and the outstanding or unearned portion of the fee is charged or refunded to
the client, as appropriate.
7
Additionally, for asset management services the Firm provides with respect to certain client
holdings (e.g., held-away assets, accommodation accounts, alternative investments, etc.), Legacy
PCG may negotiate a fee rate that differs from the range set forth above.
Retirement Plan Consulting Fees
Legacy PCG generally charges as fixed project-based fee to provide clients with retirement plan
consulting services. Each engagement is individually negotiated and tailored to accommodate the needs
of the individual plan sponsor, as memorialized in the Agreement. These fees vary, based on the scope of
the services to be rendered, and typically range between 25 and 75 basis points (0.25% – 0.75%),
depending upon the services provided and the amount of assets to be managed.
Advisory Fees for Sub-Advisory Relationships
For sub-advised accounts, Legacy PCG accommodates both advance and arrears billing. Billing
“in advance” or “in arrears” is on a monthly basis, based upon on the average daily balance of the
account(s) during the current billing period. The fee is calculated by multiplying the portfolio value
by the contracted rate. Typically, the fee is one month of the annual fee, but for new accounts,
days are subtracted for billing in arrears or one time added for billing in advance to reflect the
proper number of days managed. Frequency and timing of billing is determined by the applicable
sub-advisory agreement. Such fees are generally charged by directly debiting the end- investor’s
custodial accounts although this may vary by agreement. Clients should contact their custodian for
more information relating to the deduction of fees from their accounts.
Fee Discretion
Legacy PCG may, in its sole discretion, negotiate to charge a lesser fee based upon certain
criteria, such as anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing/legacy
client relationship, account retention and pro bono activities.
Additional Fees and Expenses
In addition to the advisory fees paid to Legacy PCG, clients may also incur certain charges imposed by
other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial
institutions (collectively “Financial Institutions”). These additional charges may include securities
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, custodial fees, fees attributable to alternative assets, fees
charged by the Independent Managers, margin costs, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or ETF in a
client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund
expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund
fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. The Firm’s brokerage
practices are described at length in Item 12, below.
Direct Fee Debit
Clients generally provide Legacy PCG and/or certain Independent Managers with the authority to
directly debit their accounts for payment of the investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions
8
that act as the qualified custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to
directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all
account transactions, including any amounts paid to Legacy PCG. All securities held in accounts
managed by Legacy PCG will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct
periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
Use of Margin
Legacy PCG may be authorized to use margin in the management of the client’s investment portfolio.
In these cases, the fee payable will be assessed net of margin such that the market value of the client’s
account and corresponding fee payable by the client to Legacy PCG will not be increased.
Account Additions and Withdrawals
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to Legacy PCG’s
right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the Firm reserves the
right to liquidate any transferred securities or declines to accept particular securities into a client’s
account. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to Legacy PCG, subject to the usual and
customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Firm generally designs its portfolios as long-
term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment
objectives. Legacy PCG may consult with its clients about the options and implications of transferring
securities. Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to
transaction fees, short-term redemption fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g., contingent
deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications.
ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Legacy PCG does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees
charged by Legacy PCG are as described in Item 5 above, and there are no additional fees based
upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. Legacy PCG does not
manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a
hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its
Clients.
ITEM 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS
Legacy PCG offers services to individuals (including high net worth individuals), pension and profit
sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities.
Minimum Account Requirements
Legacy PCG does not impose a stated minimum fee or minimum portfolio value for starting and
maintaining an investment management relationship. Certain Independent Managers may, however,
impose more restrictive account requirements and billing practices from the Firm. In these instances,
Legacy PCG may alter its corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to
accommodate those of the Independent Managers.
9
ITEM 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK
OF LOSS
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Methods of Analysis
Legacy PCG utilizes the financial planning process to understand the asset allocation model that it will
recommend to a client. The Firm then uses a combination of fundamental and technical methods of
analysis.
Fundamental analysis involves an evaluation of the fundamental financial condition and competitive
position of a particular fund or issuer. For Legacy PCG, this process typically involves an analysis of an
issuer’s management team, investment strategies, style drift, past performance, reputation and
financial strength in relation to the asset class concentrations and risk exposures of the Firm’s model asset
allocations. A substantial risk in relying upon fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and
position of a company may be good, evolving market conditions may negatively impact the security.
Technical analysis involves the examination of past market data rather than specific issuer information in
determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of
mathematical based indicators and charts, such as moving averages and price correlations, to identify
market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of
the company. A substantial risk in relying upon technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not
help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no
guarantee that Legacy PCG will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
Investment Strategies
Legacy PCG tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure,
on a continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and
objectives. Legacy PCG consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk
tolerance, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of their
portfolios. Clients are advised to promptly notify Legacy PCG if there are changes in their financial
situation or if they wish to place any limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients may impose
reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their accounts if Legacy PCG determines, in
its sole discretion, the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management
strategy or prove overly burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts.
Risk of Loss Market Risks
Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal, and all investors should be guided
accordingly. The profitability of a significant portion of Legacy PCG’s recommendations and/or investment
decisions may depend to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of
stocks, bonds and other asset classes. There can be no assurance that Legacy PCG will be able to predict
those price movements accurately or capitalize on any such assumptions.
10
Mutual Funds and ETFs
An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual fund and ETF
shareholders are necessarily subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund’s
underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital gains,
as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains in the event they sell securities for
a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss.
Shares of mutual funds are generally distributed and redeemed on an ongoing basis by the fund itself or a
broker acting on its behalf. The trading price at which a share is transacted is equal to a fund’s stated daily
per share net asset value (“NAV”), plus any shareholders fees (e.g., sales loads, purchase fees,
redemption fees). The per share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business day,
although the actual NAV fluctuates with intraday changes to the market value of the fund’s holdings.
The trading prices of a mutual fund’s shares may differ significantly from the NAV during periods of market
volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the mutual fund’s shares trading at a premium or
discount to actual NAV.
Shares of ETFs are listed on securities exchanges and transacted at negotiated prices in the secondary
market. Generally, ETF shares trade at or near their most recent NAV, which is generally calculated at
least once daily for indexed based ETFs and potentially more frequently for actively managed ETFs.
However, certain inefficiencies may cause the shares to trade at a premium or discount to their pro rata
NAV. There is also no guarantee that an active secondary market for such shares will develop or
continue to exist. Generally, an ETF only redeems shares when aggregated as creation units (usually
20,000 shares or more). Therefore, if a liquid secondary market ceases to exist for shares of a particular
ETF, a shareholder may have no way to dispose of such shares.
Use of Independent Managers
As stated above, Legacy PCG may select certain Independent Managers to manage a portion of its clients’
assets. In such situations, Legacy PCG continues to conduct ongoing due diligence of such managers,
but such recommendations rely to a great extent on the Independent Managers’ ability to successfully
implement their investment strategies. In addition, Legacy PCG generally may not have the ability to
supervise the Independent Managers on a day-to-day basis.
Use of Private Collective Investment Vehicles
Legacy PCG recommends that certain clients invest in privately placed collective investment vehicles
(e.g., hedge funds, private equity funds, alternatives, etc.). The managers of these vehicles have broad
discretion in selecting the investments. There are few limitations on the types of securities or other
financial instruments which may be traded and no requirement to diversify. Hedge funds may trade on
margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially increasing the risk to the vehicle. In
addition, because the vehicles are not registered as investment companies, there is an absence of
regulation. There are numerous other risks in investing in these securities. Clients should consult each
fund’s private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining such risks prior to investing.
11
Use of Margin
While the use of margin borrowing can substantially improve returns, it may also increase overall
portfolio risk. Margin transactions are generally effected using capital borrowed from a Financial
Institution, which is secured by a client’s holdings. Under certain circumstances, a lending Financial
Institution may demand an increase in the underlying collateral. If the client is unable to provide the
additional collateral, the Financial Institution may liquidate account assets to satisfy the client’s
outstanding obligations, which could have extremely adverse consequences. In addition, fluctuations in
the amount of a client’s borrowings and the corresponding interest rates may have a significant effect on
the profitability and stability of a client’s portfolio.
ITEM 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Legacy PCG has not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s
evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of its management.
ITEM 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
This item requires investment advisers to disclose certain financial industry activities and affiliations.
ITEM 11 - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
Legacy PCG has adopted a code of ethics in compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code of Ethics”)
that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its Supervised Persons. Legacy PCG’s Code of
Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent certain unlawful practices such as the
use of material non-public information by the Firm or any of its Supervised Persons and the trading by the
same of securities ahead of clients in order to take advantage of pending orders.
The Code of Ethics also requires certain of Legacy PCG’s personnel to report personal securities
holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of certain investments (e.g. initial public offerings,
limited offerings). However, the Firm’s Supervised Persons are permitted to buy or sell securities
that it also recommends to clients if done in a fair and equitable manner that is consistent with the Firm’s
policies and procedures. This Code of Ethics has been established recognizing that some securities trade
in sufficiently broad markets to permit transactions by certain personnel to be completed without any
appreciable impact on the same markets of such securities. Therefore, under limited circumstances,
exceptions may be made to the policies stated below.
When the Firm is engaging in or is considering transactions in any security on behalf of a client, no
Supervised Person with access to this information may knowingly effect for themselves or for their
immediate family (i.e. spouse, minor children and adults living in the same household) a transaction in that
security unless:
• The transaction has been completed;
12
• The transaction for the Supervise Person is completed as part of a batch trade with clients; or
• A decision has been made not to engage in the transaction for the client.
These requirements are not applicable to: (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States;
(ii) money market instruments, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper,
repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase
agreements; (iii) shares issued by mutual funds or money market funds; and (iv) shares issued by unit
investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more mutual funds.
Clients and prospective clients may contact Legacy PCG to request a copy of its Code of Ethics.
ITEM 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Factors Considered in Selecting Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
Legacy PCG generally recommends that clients utilize the custody, brokerage and clearing services of
Charles Schwab Advisor ServicesTM (“Schwab”), Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services (“Fidelity”) and JP
Morgan Chase (“JP Morgan”, together with Schwab and Fidelity, “Custodian”) for investment management
accounts. Factors which Legacy PCG considers in recommending Custodian or any other broker-dealer
to clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service.
Custodian may enable the Firm to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other
securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by
Custodian may be higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions. Clients are not
obligated to use the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor
associated with using a custodian not recommended by Legacy PCG.
The commissions paid by Legacy PCG’s clients to Custodian comply with the Firm’s duty to obtain
“best execution.” Clients may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified Financial
Institution might charge to effect the same transaction where Legacy PCG determines that the
commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In
seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the
transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a
Financial Institution’s services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution
capability, commission rates and responsiveness. Legacy PCG seeks competitive rates but may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions.
Transactions may be cleared through other broker-dealers with whom the Firm and its custodians have
entered into agreements for prime brokerage clearing services. Should an account make use of prime
brokerage, the Client may be required to sign an additional agreement, and additional fees are likely to
be charged.
Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions may be directed to certain
broker/dealers in return for investment research products and/or services which assist Legacy PCG in
its investment decision-making process. Such research generally will be used to service all of the Firm’s
clients, but brokerage commissions paid by one client may be used to pay for research that is not used
13
in managing that client’s portfolio. The receipt of investment research products and/or services as well
as the allocation of the benefit of such investment research products and/or services poses a conflict of
interest because Legacy PCG does not have to produce or pay for the products or services.
Legacy PCG periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its
recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution.
Software and Support Provided by Financial Institutions
Legacy PCG may receive without cost from Custodian computer software and related systems support,
which allow Legacy PCG to better monitor client accounts maintained at Custodian. Legacy PCG may
receive the software and related support without cost because the Firm renders investment management
services to clients that maintain assets at Custodian. The software and support is not provided in
connection with securities transactions of clients (i.e., not “soft dollars”).
The software and related systems support may benefit Legacy PCG, but not its clients directly. In fulfilling
its duties to its clients, Legacy PCG endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients
should be aware, however, that Legacy PCG’s receipt of economic benefits from a broker/dealer creates
a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Firm’s choice of broker/dealer over another
that does not furnish similar software, systems support or services.
Specifically, Legacy PCG may receive the following benefits from either Schwab, Fidelity or JP Morgan:
• Credits to be used toward qualifying third-party service providers used in connection with
the initial set up of the Firm’s marketing;
• Receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements;
• Access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional traders;
• Access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and
then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; and
• Access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Legacy PCG does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker/dealers, whether the Firm
receives client referrals from the Financial Institutions or other third party.
Directed Brokerage
The client may direct Legacy PCG in writing to use a particular Financial Institution to execute some
or all transactions for the client. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the
account with that Financial Institution and the Firm will not seek better execution services or prices
from other Financial Institutions or be able to “batch” client transactions for execution through other
Financial Institutions with orders for other accounts managed by Legacy PCG (as described above).
As a result, the client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs, greater spreads or may
receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case.
Subject to its duty of best execution, Legacy PCG may decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if,
in the Firm’s sole discretion, such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional
operational difficulties.
14
Trade Aggregation
Transactions for each client generally will be effected independently, unless Legacy PCG decides
to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. Legacy PCG
may (but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more
favorable commission rates or to allocate equitably among the Firm’s clients differences in prices
and commissions or other transaction costs that might not have been obtained had such orders been
placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will generally be averaged as to price and
allocated among Legacy PCG’s clients pro rata to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client on
any given day. To the extent that the Firm determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale
of securities, including securities in which Legacy PCG’s Supervised Persons may invest, the Firm
generally does so in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and no-
action guidance provided by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Legacy PCG
does not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of the aggregation.
In the event that the Firm determines that a prorated allocation is not appropriate under the particular
circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon other relevant factors, which may include: (i)
when only a small percentage of the order is executed, shares may be allocated to the account with the
smallest order or the smallest position or to an account that is out of line with respect to security or
sector weightings relative to other portfolios, with similar mandates; (ii) allocations may be given to one
account when one account has limitations in its investment guidelines which prohibit it from purchasing
other securities which are expected to produce similar investment results and can be purchased by
other accounts; (iii) if an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an
allocation, shares may be reallocated to other accounts (this may be due to unforeseen changes in an
account’s assets after an order is placed); (iv) with respect to sale allocations, allocations may be given
to accounts low in cash; (v) in cases when a pro rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a
de minimis allocation in one or more accounts, the Firm may exclude the account(s) from the allocation;
the transactions may be executed on a pro rata basis among the remaining accounts; or (vi) in cases
where a small proportion of an order is executed in all accounts, shares may be allocated to one or
more accounts on a random basis.
ITEM 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Account Reviews
Legacy PCG monitors client portfolios on a continuous and ongoing basis. Such reviews are conducted
by the Firm’s investment adviser representatives as well as the Firm’s chief compliance officer. All
investment advisory clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals and objectives with Legacy
PCG and to keep the Firm informed of any changes thereto. The Firm contacts ongoing investment
advisory clients at least annually to review its previous services and/or recommendations.
Account Statements and Reports
Clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account statements
directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied. From time-to-time or as
otherwise requested, clients may also receive written or electronic reports from Legacy PCG and/or an
15
outside service provider, which contain certain account and/or market-related information, such as an
inventory of account holdings or account performance. Clients should compare the account statements
they receive from their custodian with any documents or reports they receive from Legacy PCG or an
outside service provider.
ITEM 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein
"Promoter") and receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances,
the Advisor will compensate the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act
and any corresponding state securities requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from
the investment advisory fees earned by the Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the
Client.
Unaffiliated Alternative Investments
The Advisor may refer clients to invest in certain unaffiliated alternative investments, where the
Advisor may receive additional fees or revenue. In such arrangements, The Advisor has a conflict
of interest in that the Advisor may receive separate compensation from the unaffiliated alternative
investments in the form of either incentive fee, consulting fee or revenue share. The conflict is
mitigated by an internal policy mandating that the Advisor will not charge a separate investment
advisory fee for the management of the assets placed in these unaffiliated alternative investments
if the Advisor receives any other separate compensation. Clients are under no obligation to invest
in any alternative investment recommended by the Advisor.
ITEM 15 - CUSTODY
The Advisory Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution generally
authorize Legacy PCG and/or the Independent Managers to debit client accounts for payment of
the Firm’s fees and to directly remit that those funds to the Firm in accordance with applicable
custody rules. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian for client accounts,
from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements
to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to
Legacy PCG.
In addition, as discussed in Item 13, Legacy PCG may also send periodic supplemental reports to clients.
Clients should carefully review the statements sent directly by the Financial Institutions and compare
them to those received from Legacy PCG.
ITEM 16 - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Legacy PCG may be given the authority to exercise discretion on behalf of clients. Legacy PCG is
considered to exercise investment discretion over a client’s account if it can effect and/or direct
transactions in client accounts without first seeking their consent. Legacy PCG is given this authority
through a power-of-attorney included in the agreement between Legacy PCG and the client. Clients
may request a limitation on this authority (such as certain securities not to be bought or sold). Legacy
PCG takes discretion over the following activities:
16
• The securities to be purchased and sold;
• The amount of securities to be purchased or sold;
• When transactions are made; and
• The Independent Managers to be hired or fired.
ITEM 17 - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Legacy PCG generally does not accept the authority to vote a client’s securities (i.e., proxies) on their
behalf. Clients receive proxies directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied
and may contact the Firm at the contact information on the cover of this brochure with questions about
any such issuer solicitations.
ITEM 18 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Legacy PCG is not required to disclose any financial information due to the following:
• The Firm does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1200 in fees six months or
more in advance of services rendered;
• The Firm does not have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet
contractual commitments to clients; and
• The Firm has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
