The Legatum Institute is a think tank based in London, UK.[1][2] Its stated aim is to advance the education of the public in national and international political, social and economic policy.[3] The Institute has over forty donors including the Legatum Foundation.[4] It has been called "arguably the most influential think tank in Britain pushing its free market pro-Brexit vision and enjoying privileged access to media and ministers" but it has attracted controversy as a result of its opaque, offshore funding.[5]
