Derived from the Latin word meaning a legacy or gift, our name is inspired by the thought, effort and sacrifice of those who have preceded us.
At Legatum, we build upon the legacy we have inherited in order to leave a legacy for others; embracing past excellence in order to create a better future for all.
Our mission is to generate and allocate the capital and ideas that can help people live more prosperous lives.
Pronunciation: /le:'ga:.tum/
Etymology: From legatus, the perfect passive participle of lego ("send, despatch"). Legatum (genitive legati); n, second declension: A bequest, legacy.
