Clarity and Transparency

Our management fee is a percentage of your assets under our management. It is not dependent on particular products or investments and is adjusted based on portfolio size and complexity.  We feel this is the most appropriate structure as it keeps our objectives in line with your objectives as a client -- our compensation rises only if the value of your account rises.  Our goal is to have clients "for life," which is only possible if we are constantly focused on doing right by you.

Our Investment Philosophy

At Legacy Advisors, our Investment Philosophy is based on almost nine decades of data, analysis and research, insights from behavioral finance, and close relationships with leading academics. Investing makes it possible for many of us to pursue important lifetime goals. A better wealth experience requires a consistent investment approach based on financial science and grounded in real- world results. 

"Evidence Based" Investing Supported by Academic Research

Because you cannot control the market, you should make sure you have a long term plan in place with the goal of capturing market returns while pursuing your deeply held goals. Accordingly, our long-term investment strategies are well diversified, low cost, tax efficient, and strategically rebalanced so as to best reflect your risks, goals, experience, and time horizon.  We call this approach Asset Class Investing.
