Item 4 – Advisory Business
Description of Advisory Firm
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices was founded by Michael T. Zuendel (as a 99% owner through the
Michael T. Zuendel Revocable Trust) and Tim Kadlec in 2015 with the goal of serving as a significant
partner to high-net-worth families and individuals. Many affluent families have established private
financial organizations, known as family offices, to manage their collective family wealth. Family offices
have often found synergy and success through their application of purposeful investing of assets,
sophisticated administrative assistance, investment planning and evaluation, and a broad range of
integrated financial and personalized services. Michael T. Zuendel remains the principal owner.
Legacy Bridge’s Private Family Offices are designed to act as the family office by becoming an integral
part of the investment planning, evaluation, and implementation process. We typically manage client
assets on a fully discretionary basis. Our service is driven solely by each family’s unique needs, desires
and priorities.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Advisory Fees
An initial meeting is scheduled with a prospective client at no cost or obligation. The purpose of the
meeting is to inform the prospective client of the types of services Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices
provides and to generally discuss what the client desires from an advisory relationship.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will then enter into an investment management agreement with a
client, which will set forth the fee arrangement applicable to the client account(s). Either party may cancel
the advisory agreement without penalty upon thirty days’ written notice.
Set-up Fees
$1,000 - $1,500 per account, depending on the scope of services and complexity of the client’s account(s).
At its discretion, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices may reduce or waive set-up fees for particular
client accounts.
Ongoing Fees
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices’ compensation for its services shall be calculated and paid in
accordance with the fee schedule agreed upon with the client, which may be amended from time to time
by mutual agreement between the client and Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices. The fee schedule will
be documented in Exhibit A attached to the agreement. Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices’ fee is
6
calculated and paid monthly in advance based on the value of Client’s Account, including cash and cash
equivalent balances, calculated from the prior month end market value.
The market value of any security or other investment in the account is determined by the custodian. Any
security or investment in the account that is not priced by the custodian or for which there is no readily
available price quotation shall be valued in a manner determined in good faith by Legacy Bridge Private
Family Offices to reflect fair market value. Any such valuations shall not be deemed a guarantee of any
kind with respect to the value of those assets. The Advisor will debit its fee with respect to these
relationships directly from an account designed by the Client held at the custodian.
If there are significant managed assets deposited or withdrawn from the account after the beginning of a
billing period, the fee payable with respect to such assets may be adjusted in the next billing period to
reflect the fee difference for those assets.
For investment management services, the fee is negotiated depending on the size and type of relationship,
the complexity of investments, and the services provided. The fees generally represent a maximum of 1%
of the assets under management. We generally require that clients pay a minimum fee of $100,000
annually but will consider accounts that pay less in fees at our discretion. Certain client accounts opened
before April 1, 2025 may be may calculated according to an earlier version of the fee schedule.
Pursuant to the request of one family, a year end true up fee will be calculated based on the amount of
work and complexity of the tasks completed throughout the year. The amount will be calculated and
negotiated with the family. The amount will be deducted from the family accounts at the beginning of the
next year.
Payment of Advisory Fees
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices charges clients monthly in advance. Clients authorize us to deduct
fees directly from the client’s account as they become due. We have discretionary authority to sell (at the
then-current price) a sufficient amount of account securities in order to pay these fees. Should the
agreement be cancelled during the billing period, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will refund any
unearned fees on a pro-rata basis. However, a termination fee may be charged depending on the
complexity of closing the accounts.
Other Fees and Expenses
Clients will incur other fees and expenses, including, among others, brokerage and asset management
costs, associated with their investment portfolios. Please see Item 12 for a discussion of our brokerage
practices. These charges may be more fully discussed in the custodian or asset manager documents
detailing the specific client account or investment.
In situations where Legacy bridge collects settlements for a client account for a class action lawsuit, our
third party vendor will retain 20% of what is collected.
Additional Compensation
Neither Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices nor any of its supervised persons receives additional
compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees (Side-By-Side Management)
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices offers performance-based fee arrangements for certain clients
pursuant to the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. A performance fee arrangement is a method
of compensating an investment adviser based on a share of the gains or appreciation of the assets under
management. For any measurement period, a performance-based fee may be higher or lower than Legacy
Bridge’s current fee schedule. Performance fee arrangements are not available to all Legacy Bridge
clients and must be approved by Legacy Bridge on a case-by-case basis. Performance fee terms may be
negotiable at Legacy Bridge’s discretion.
Performance-based fee arrangements are in addition to the advisory fee as described in Item 5 above.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices has structured the performance-based fee subject to Section
205(a)(1) of the Advisers Act in accordance with the available exemptions thereunder, including the
exemption set forth in Rule 205-3(d).
By managing client accounts on a performance-based fee arrangement side-by-side with asset-based, non-
performance fee accounts, Legacy Bridge faces some conflicts of interest. For example, the nature of a
performance fee poses an opportunity for Argent to earn more compensation than under a stand-alone
asset-based fee. Consequently, Legacy Bridge could favor performance-based accounts over those
accounts where we receive only an asset-based fee. This creates the incentive to devote more time and
attention to performance-based accounts than to accounts under an asset-based fee-only arrangement.
Such an action by Legacy Bridge would be incidental, and not intentional.
The nature of performance fees can encourage unnecessary speculation with client assets to earn or
increase the amount of the fee. The result of riskier investments can have a positive effect in that results
could equal higher returns when compared to an asset-based fee account. On the other hand, riskier
investments historically have a higher chance of losing value. Also, since in a performance fee
arrangement an adviser is compensated based on capital gains or capital appreciation, these arrangements
could give an investment adviser an incentive to time transactions in a client’s account based on fee
considerations rather than on what is in the best interest of the client. Legacy Bridge Private Family
Offices does the following to manage the conflicts of interest posed by this performance-based fee
arrangement: (1) The performance-based fee arrangement occurs only with certain clients and not across
multiple clients; (2) the client determines and agrees with Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices, the
methodology to calculate the annual performance fee. The details of the calculation of any performance-
based fee are included in the written advisory agreement with Legacy Bridge; and (3) Legacy Bridge
works with all clients equally and individually, regardless of performance-based fees, to meet their
individual needs.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices is focused on building generational wealth. Although Legacy
Bridge Private Family Offices’ clients are predominantly high-net-worth individuals, their family
members and family entities, we may also provide investment advisory services for trusts, estates,
foundations and small corporate entities.
As previously noted, we generally require clients pay a maximum of 1% of the assets under management
but will consider clients that pay less in fees at our discretion.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Method of Analysis, Sources of Information and Investment Strategies
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices endeavors to construct diversified investment portfolios through
marketable securities over a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Asset allocation
management is customized to the client’s specific objectives, risk tolerance and constraints.
Third-party investment managers in the form of mutual funds and ETFs may be used to complement our
individual security process. These funds are selected to fulfill the asset allocation strategy. This selection
is based on quantitative and qualitative judgments as they relate to the manager’s organizational stability,
quality of personnel, investment strategy, historical performance and other factors.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. It is important that
clients understand that risk of loss must generally be assumed in order to achieve long-term investment
objectives. Legacy Bridge does not offer any guarantee that the strategies it recommends and/or
employs within client portfolios will produce desired results or avoid loss. Investing money in the
financial markets carries with it numerous risks. The primary risk is market risk, including the
possibility of loss stemming from market declines in various asset classes, rising interest rates, and
rising credit spreads, among other influences. Material Risks
The investment decisions made by Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices are subject to certain risks and
loss of principal can occur, which clients should be prepared to bear. There is no guarantee an
investment’s actual return will meet a target return or an investment objective. Risk includes the
possibility of losing some or all of the original investment. You should be aware that your account is
subject to the following risks:
Stock Market Risk – The value of securities in the portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the
value may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.
Managed Portfolio Risk – The manager’s investment strategies or choice of specific securities
may be unsuccessful and may cause the portfolio to incur losses.
Industry Risk – The portfolio’s investments could be concentrated within one industry or group of
industries. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industries will disproportionately
impact your portfolio. Investments focused in a particular industry are subject to greater risk and
are more greatly impacted by market volatility than less concentrated investments.
Non-U.S. Securities Risk – Non-U.S. securities are subject to the risks of foreign currency
fluctuations, generally higher volatility and lower liquidity than U.S. securities, less developed
securities markets and economic systems and political and economic instability.
Emerging Markets Risk – To the extent that your portfolio invests in issuers located in emerging
markets, the risk may be heightened by political changes and 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.
Currency Risk – The value of your portfolio’s investments may fall as a result of changes in
exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk – The value of fixed income securities rises or falls based on the underlying
interest rate environment. If rates rise, the value of most fixed income securities could go down.
Credit Risk – Most fixed income instruments are dependent on the underlying credit of the issuer.
If we are wrong about the underlying financial strength of an issuer, we may purchase securities
where the issuer is unable to meet its obligations. If this happens, your portfolio could sustain an
unrealized or realized loss.
9
Inflation Risk – Most fixed income instruments will sustain losses if inflation increases or the
market anticipates increases in inflation. If we enter a period of moderate or heavy inflation, the
value of your fixed income securities could go down.
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk – When we invest in an ETF or mutual fund for a client, the client will
bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETFs or mutual fund’s operating
expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or
mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual
fund holds. Clients may also incur brokerage costs when purchasing ETFs.
Management Risk – Your investment with us 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.
Options Risk – Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an
investment in the underlying securities. Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly
specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks.
Although it is not a primary strategy of Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices to employ frequent trading,
occasions may arise where it becomes necessary, in the discretion of Legacy Bridge Private Family
Offices, to trade more frequently. More frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly
through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices believes diversification is instrumental in reducing risk. Legacy
Bridge Private Family Offices will manage client assets in a prudent manner; however, Legacy Bridge
Private Family Offices cannot guarantee any level of performance or that clients will not experience a loss
of account value. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Neither Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices nor any of its management personnel have any disciplinary
or legal events to disclose.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices in selecting custodians, broker-dealers, and mutual fund managers
select unaffiliated firms and do not receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from them.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices requires that all individuals involved in giving financial advice to
clients do so in a manner consistent with the Firm’s fiduciary status. Legacy Bridge Private Family
Offices has adopted a Code of Ethics that establishes standards of business conduct for all of its
employees. It is based on the principle that Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices and its employees have
a fiduciary duty to place each client’s interests above their own.
In general, the Code of Ethics requires all employees to:
Always place the interests of clients ahead of their own personal interests
Ensure that all personal securities transactions are conducted in such a manner as to avoid any
actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an employee’s position of trust and
responsibility
Not take inappropriate advantage of information obtained as a result of their positions
10
Promptly report violations of the Code of Ethics to the Chief Compliance Officer; and
Provide a written acknowledgment, at least annually, that he or she has (i) read the Code of Ethics;
(ii) understands the firm’s policies and procedures; and (iii) agrees to be bound by the Code’s
terms.
The Code of Ethics is available to clients and prospective clients by contacting the Chief Compliance
Officer at (610) 467-5020.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices does not recommend or invest our client assets in products or
strategies in which we or related persons have a material financial interest. Legacy Bridge Private Family
Offices does not engage in principal transactions with its clients.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices and its employees will not use information for personal gain. At
times, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices and its related persons, such as owners, officers and
employees, may take positions in the same securities as clients. In those circumstances, Legacy Bridge
Private Family Offices will strive to avoid apparent or actual conflicts of interest with clients. Legacy
Bridge Private Family Offices and its employees will always comply with their fiduciary duty.
Employees must disclose any personal securities account in which they have a beneficial ownership, and
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices monitors its employees’ personal securities trading activity on an
ongoing basis.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Brokerage Selection/Recommendations
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices requires that all advisory client assets remain in the physical
possession of a registered broker-dealer, custodian bank, trust company, mutual fund or insurance
company. Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices is not affiliated with any financial institutions.
We typically recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) as the custodian for client assets in
which Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will provide financial investment management services.
Schwab provides the firm with access to institutional brokerage – trading, custody, reporting and related
services – many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. In most cases, if an
advisory client selects Schwab as its custodian, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will use Schwab as
the broker-dealer to execute the client’s securities transactions.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices effects trades on a best-execution basis. Legacy Bridge Private
Family Offices considers the following factors in selecting executing broker-dealers: professionalism, best
execution, block trading, quality of execution, reliability, information technology capabilities, integrity,
reasonableness of commissions, and access to institutional trading.
While commissions or fees are just one of several important factors to consider when choosing the
appropriate broker-dealer, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices seeks to obtain the most competitive
commissions from brokers for clients’ securities transactions. Generally, clients pay competitive
commissions for similar products and services from similar brokers, as monitored by Legacy Bridge
Private Family Offices.
11
Research and Other Soft Dollar Arrangements
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices does not participate in soft dollar arrangements. We may receive
some economic benefits from the recommended custodian. See Item 14, below.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices does not select or recommend broker-dealers based on whether we
receive client referrals from them, whether directly from the broker-dealer or a third party.
Directed Brokerage
Because Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices generally recommends Schwab as the custodian for client
assets and executing broker-dealer for securities transactions, we are effectively directing your brokerage
to Schwab, absent specific instructions from the client. Although commissions are an important factor in
achieving best execution, it is not the only factor. As the firm is not selecting the executing broker-dealer
on a trade-by-trade basis, we may not be able to achieve the lowest execution cost for clients on each
trade, which may result in higher costs for the client. In addition, not all investment advisers recommend
or require clients to use certain broker-dealers.
We may permit clients to direct us to use broker-dealers other than Schwab. In such situations, Legacy
Bridge Private Family Offices may have a diminished ability to negotiate commissions or may not be able
to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions. For example, the client may pay higher
brokerage commissions because the firm may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs.
Trading Away/Prime Brokerage
When beneficial to the client, individual fixed income transactions may be executed through broker-
dealers other than a custodian with custody of the account. The client may be required to execute an
additional agreement with the custodian(s) authorizing us to trade away from and settle at that custodian.
The client generally will incur both the fee (commission, mark-up/mark-down) charged by the executing
broker-dealer and a separate prime broker fee charged by the custodian with custody of the account.
Order Aggregation
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices may occasionally aggregate orders to reduce execution costs. We
may not always aggregate orders when we have the opportunity to do so. This is due primarily to the fact
that our focus is on individual management, rather than execution decisions across our client base. The
decision not to aggregate orders for particular transactions may result in higher execution costs for those
transactions. Block trading is also subject to the ability of the broker-dealer to accept block trades.
If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or
sold by the close of each business day within that block trade will be allocated in a manner that is
consistent with the initial allocation or other written statement. This will be done in a way that does not
consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular client.
No advisory account within the block trade will be favored over any other advisory account and, therefore,
each account will participate in an aggregated order at the average share price and commissions will be
applied on the same basis (or lower) as if the trade had been entered on an individual basis. The custodian
will be notified of the amount of each trade for each account.
12
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices generally conducts reviews with clients on a regular basis to discuss
the status of the client’s accounts. At a minimum, clients will receive quarterly account statements from
their custodian. We will provide clients with performance reporting on both an aggregate basis, as well as
on individual accounts. Generally, the reporting will break the portfolio down to the sub-asset class level
and provide appropriate benchmarks at each reporting level, as well as at the total portfolio level. Clients
may request reports on a more frequent basis.
The account reviews are currently performed by the Chief Investment Officer or Senior Investment
Strategist. These reports are a supplement to, not a replacement for, the statements provided by the
account custodian. We urge clients to carefully compare statements provided by Legacy Bridge Family
Offices with those provided by the custodian, and to notify us promptly of any discrepancies.
Additional periodic reviews of client accounts will occur. A number of factors may trigger an account
review, such as a change in the client’s circumstances or objectives, a need to rebalance the account to
reflect asset allocation, or changes in the investment or tax environment that may impact the account’s
performance.
In performing any of its services, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will not be required to verify any
information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals, custodians or other third
party reports. Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify Legacy Bridge
Private Family Offices if there is ever any change in their personal or financial situation or investment
objectives.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Client Referrals
It is Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices’ policy not to engage solicitors or to compensate related or
non-related persons for referring potential clients to our firm. From time to time Legacy Bridge Private
Family Offices may refer Clients to non-affiliated, non-advisory professionals such as attorneys,
accountants and estate planners, to meet the goals of clients. We are not compensated for these referrals.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab)
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices has an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab
Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab. As a registered investment advisor participating on the
Schwab Advisor Services platform, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices receives access to software and
related support without cost because we render investment advisory services to clients that maintain assets
at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit us and many, but not all services
provided by Schwab will directly benefit clients. In fulfilling its duties to its clients, we endeavor at all
times to put the interests of our clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence our
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or
services.
Services that may benefit the client include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of
securities transactions, and custody of client’s funds and securities. Through Schwab, we may be able to
access certain investments and asset classes that the client would not be able to obtain directly or through
other sources. Further, we may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without
13
having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the client were to directly access the
investments.
Services that may indirectly benefit the client include; access to support products, technology, research,
discounts, and other services. In addition, we receive duplicate statements for client accounts, trading
tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended
to assist us in effectively managing accounts for our clients but may not directly benefit all clients.
In addition, Schwab may offer us certain pricing and fee structures based on the amount of assets that will
be custodied with Schwab. Schwab may also provide other services and financial support for which we
would otherwise have to pay, including: Transition expenses, educational conferences and events,
consulting services and discounts or reimbursements for various service providers. Access to these
services creates a financial incentive for us to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of interest.
However, Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices believes the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the
best interests of its clients. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices please see Item
12 – Brokerage Practices.
Business Entertainment
Our Supervised Persons may be occasionally provided with de minimis meals and entertainment from
other financial service providers or third parties in the industry. This may present a conflict of interest in
that we have an incentive to maintain a relationship with such providers or third parties. However, all
such business entertainment will be conducted in strict accordance with our Code of Ethics and we will
act in the best interests of our clients when engaging in any business with such providers or third parties.
Item 15 – Custody
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices recommends to its advisory clients that they designate Schwab as
the qualified custodian for their assets in which Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will provide
financial investment advisory services. Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices will not assume
responsibility or liability for Schwab or any other custodians selected by the client.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices is deemed to have custody of client assets because it offers a bill-
paying service to clients and also a distribution committee service. At a minimum, clients will receive
quarterly account statements from their qualified custodian, and clients should carefully review those
statements for any errors or discrepancies and also compare them against any account statements received
from Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices. All errors or discrepancies should be promptly reported to
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices.
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices is also deemed to have custody of clients’ funds or securities when
clients have standing authorizations with their custodian to move money from a client’s account to a third-
party (“SLOA”) and under that SLOA authorize us to designate the amount or timing of transfers with the
custodian. The SEC has set forth a set of standards intended to protect client assets in such situations,
which we follow.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Our clients enter into a written investment management agreement that sets forth the scope of our
discretionary
authority. Unless otherwise directed by the client, we have full discretionary authority
under a limited power of attorney to invest client assets in the account(s), including the investment and
14

If there may be a conflict of interest in voting proxies due to a business or personal relationship that
Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices has with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes,
we will take steps to either follow the Egan-Jones recommendation or ensure that the proxy voting
decisions are made in the best interest of our client.
If authority has been given to Legacy Bridge Private Family Offices to vote proxies, the client cannot
