Broadly, its services include family office, investment portfolio management, real estate management, bookkeeping and tax accounting functions.

We do not limit ourselves to strategies that we are familiar with; instead, our focus is more on investigating and assessing an ever diverse array of investment vehicles and management approaches," enlightens Shagun Khosla, CEO/Director.
At Legacy, the competent team thoroughly scrutinizes all of their products and service ideas to ensure best in class analysis before advising the same to the clients.

Being an independent advisor, our clients can expect impartial advice and customised investment strategies owing to our label agnostic approach," says Shagun.
The Genesis
Legacy Investment Managers boasts of a strong foundation laid down by two of the most credible names in the business community, Mr. Sudhakar R Rao and Mr. Prabhakar Ragavendra. Together, they have scripted the success stories of Sievert Group of Companies, as well as the Gemini Group. Their 30 years of leadership experience in Oil &Gas & Energy sectors across the Middle East and India, as well as Real Estate Development in the Middle East, the two bring a wealth of knowledge to the table, as the mentors and promoters of the organization. Their strong business values and an unwavering sense of ethics are the guiding principles of the firm, and it is portrayed in the way the team works. Throwing light on the founding story, Sudhakar says, "Prabhakar and I have a long history of working as one unit, right from when we launched Sievert, and even before that. We realized that there was a strong emerging need for a hands-on and family-centric approach, with credible expertise to deliver trustworthy wealth management services across all asset classes. What has inspired us at Legacy Investment Managers is the goal of orienting our services towards the creation of a multi generational, truly secure and robust financial performance. We take the approach of rationalizing broad-ranging holdings by reducing liabilities, optimizing returns and securing immovable assets through innovative and holistic strategies."
"Expect impartial advice and customised investment strategies owing to our label agnostic approach"
Being a young firm, what is pivotal to team Legacy, is to assist businesses by making them proactive and helping them to contemplate clearly and make beneficial decisions. The company leverages the broadest range of expertise both, within the company and outside it to leave no stone unturned. "We tap a truly diverse and comprehensive array of skill sets to ensure that every decision is well informed and trend sensitive. I believe our 360-degree, holistic approach and our willingness to engage with the industry will not only help us evolve but set a standard for the industry as well,' mentions Shagun.
The Core Values
One of the major concerns that team Legacy attends to is rationalizing all related wealth management processes, from asset allocation and maintaining asset registers to tax planning, liquidity management, real estate advisory and managing offshore assets. Besides, it also creates a dynamic and value added relationship with external experts and industry stalwarts. The central emphasis is on communicating with clients and involving their ongoing inputs. "The management's commitment to being the enablers of cohesive and streamlined operations is the core of our efforts but to act in concert, we rely heavily on the input of every employee in the business," he avers.
"I strongly believe that clients are not asking for the moon, their primary concern is that assets are secure and that they can rely on us to deliver results that match or exceed the best alternatives"
The company relies on a strong client first commitment which is ingrained in every employee. All of the employees work towards a common goal developing meaningful, trustworthy and long lasting relationships with all stakeholders. In one year, Legacy Wealth has established its presence in 4 locations across the country with nearly 40 employees thereby denoting growth and its determination of retaining a long term view that reflects in real human needs rather than basic bottom-line concerns. "We are one of the youngest and fastest growing firms in India. We are planning an offsite trip for all the employees to celebrate the same,"he adds.
The Journey to Greatness
The journey of Legacy Wealth, so far, has been one that has involved rapid expansion and hitting the ground running. Surpassing the obvious initial challenges, the company has come a long way from where it all started. "There are no shortcuts to gaining a reputation in providing a service like wealth management. Clients are justifiably conservative in their approach. We have focussed on differentiating ourselves through the sheer range of services and their quality. As initial results become apparent for the larger industry to see, we are confident that our profile will reflect that fact," expresses Shagun. The company, with its headquarters in Mumbai and other offices in Bengaluru, Kolkata & Chennai has on boarded around 100 families who are prominent names in the country.
In a broader context, Legacy Wealth, in the coming years plans to reconcile high standards in both precedence as well as preparedness for the future. The team is aiming at $1 Billion number and have set their roadmaps for the same. "We want to be in the Top 10 Wealth Management firms, and we are sure that, with a fast growing firm like us, we shall be able to achieve our goal soon. Our extended partner network is an excellent resource that gives us access to in depth knowledge and awareness of possible future developments. We are constantly extending such relationships as well as developing inhouse expertise on an ongoing basis,"adds Shagun.
"We tap a diverse and comprehensive array of skill sets to ensure that every decision is well-informed and trend-sensitive"

"At Legacy, we have consciously refrained from manufacturing in-house products to avoid any bias with respect to our offerings. There is an abundance of products in the market, but while creating a client proposition, each product is evaluated on a risk-adjusted basis before selecting the best in each asset class. While we are new as an entity, we ask clients to benchmark every element of our proposition with what they consider to be the best in the industry. As we are evolving, client feedback has proved to be extremely valuable in formulating our core offerings."
