Description of Firm
Legacy Wealth Management, LLC ("Legacy"), is a registered investment adviser primarily based in
Boise, ID. We are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Idaho.

and Pete Covino. Pete Covino officially acquired his ownership interest in the company in 2023.
Jefferson H. West is our Chief Compliance Officer. Justin Martin is our Chief Executive Officer.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Legacy Wealth Management,
LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our
firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is
tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio
management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance,
and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information
we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment
advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we
may customize an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing objectives
or we may invest your assets according to one or more model portfolios developed by our firm.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms. You may
limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or
sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing. Such
restrictions must be reasonable, as determined in our sole discretion.
We may also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into a
nondiscretionary arrangement with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any
transactions on behalf of your account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any
advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis. As part of our portfolio management services,
we may use one or more sub-advisers and/or money managers ("MM") to manage a portion of your
account on a discretionary basis. The sub-adviser(s) may use one or more of their model portfolios to
manage your account. We will regularly monitor the performance of your accounts managed by sub-
adviser(s) and may hire and fire any sub-adviser without your prior approval. We pay a portion of our
advisory fee to the sub-adviser(s) we use.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more
model portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set restrictions on
the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of securities that can be purchased
in the model. Nonetheless, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities in their account. In such cases, this may
prevent a client from investing in certain models
that are managed by our firm.
Financial Consulting Services
We offer financial consulting services that primarily involve advising clients on specific financial-related
topics. The topics we address may include, but are not limited to, risk assessment/management,
investment planning, financial organization, or financial decision making/negotiation.
Selection of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use the services of a third party money manager ("TPMM") to manage
all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering information about your financial situation
and objectives, we may recommend that you engage a specific TPMM or investment program. Factors
that we take into consideration when making our recommendation(s) may include, but are not limited
to, the following: the TPMM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment
goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will monitor the TPMM(s)' performance to ensure
its management and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, ETFs, Options, Non-traded REITs, Private
Placements, Structured Notes, Derivatives, and other Alternatives. Refer to the Methods of Analysis,
Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss below for additional disclosures on this topic.
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and
objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception
of our advisory relationship. You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or
certain types of securities; however, you must provide these restrictions to our firm in writing.
Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client’s specific financial situation, the
investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to other
clients regarding the same security or investment.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor (“DOL”) Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL’s
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 (“PTE 2020-02”) where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
Assets Under Management (“AUM”)
As of end of year, 2023, we provide continuous management services for $373,210,168 in client
assets managed on a discretionary basis. The firm does not have accounts managed on a non-
discretionary basis.
