Before investing in Advisory Solutions UMA Models, you should
decide if you are comfortable delegating the day-to-day
management for most, if not all, of your account. (See sub-item D
for information on non-discretionary services offered in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models for Alternative Investments.)
• Need advice and guidance when making investment decisions
• Are at ease with a financial professional making their day-to-
day investment decisions
Edward Jones is a registered broker-dealer and investment
adviser. As an investment adviser, Edward Jones offers several
advisory programs. This brochure (“Brochure”) provides clients
(“client,” “you” or “your”) with information about Edward Jones,
Edward Jones Advisory Solutions® Unified Managed Account
(UMA) Models (“Advisory Solutions UMA Models” or the
“Program”) sponsored by Edward Jones, the fees charged for
Advisory Solutions UMA Models, and our services and business
practices. You should read this Brochure carefully and consult with
your tax professional before you decide to invest in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models.
• Are willing to follow a disciplined investment strategy
• Are comfortable paying monthly, asset-based (percentage)
fees for investments and advice rather than individual,
transaction-based commissions or sales charges
Other advisory programs offered through Edward Jones are not
described in this Brochure. These programs offer different
services and investments and have different fees and minimum
investment requirements. Certain programs or offerings are only
available through select financial advisors. To learn more about
other advisory programs offered by us, please ask your financial
advisor or go to www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures to
review the brochures for the available advisory programs.
In evaluating fee-based advisory programs, you should consider
a number of factors. You may be able to obtain some or all of the
same or similar investments and/or services available through
this and other fee-based advisory programs separately at Edward
Jones or through another broker-dealer or investment adviser.
You should consider that, depending on the circumstances, the
aggregate fees you will pay for investing in Advisory Solutions
UMA Models may be lower or higher than if you purchased the
investments or services separately or through another broker-
dealer or investment adviser.
Because Advisory Solutions UMA Models is an investment
advisory service offered by Edward Jones as an SEC-registered
advisor, Edward Jones has a fiduciary duty to act in your best
interest and to abide by the duties of care and loyalty under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 when providing Advisory
Solutions UMA Models to you. Other services you obtain through
Edward Jones, including other investment advisory and
brokerage services, are separate and distinct from Advisory
Solutions UMA Models and each is governed by separate
arrangements that we may have with you. Brokerage services
are subject to different laws than investment advisory services.
The specific services provided to you, our relationship with you
and our legal duties to you in each arrangement are described in
our applicable agreements with you and the disclosures we
provide to you in connection with those services.
Advisory Solutions UMA Models accounts and other advisory
accounts offered through Edward Jones provide ongoing
investment advice for an asset-based fee, rather than charging
commissions for transactions in your account. Brokerage
accounts, on the other hand, can charge commissions for
transactions and typically provide investment advice that is
point-in-time and solely incidental to the brokerage services
provided. As a result, important factors to consider are the
amount of trading activity you have in your accounts and the
corresponding commissions that would be charged if you bought
and sold individual securities in a brokerage account as well as
the type of advice you desire.
You also may experience different performance results or tax
consequences from what you would by purchasing the
investments separately or through another broker-dealer or
investment adviser.
Edward Jones is the primary operating subsidiary of The Jones
Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. (“JFC”), a holding company
registered as a partnership with the State of Missouri. Edward
Jones registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer in 1941 and as
an investment adviser in 1993. Edward Jones became a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) (now
known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”))
in 1939.
As of December 31, 2024, we managed $362,772,959,455 in
discretionary assets and $462,273,739,618 in non-discretionary
assets across all of our advisory programs.
Additionally, some of the mutual funds managed by an affiliate of
Edward Jones (“affiliated mutual funds”) are only available to be
held or purchased in an Edward Jones investment advisory
program and are not available to be held or purchased in an
Edward Jones Select brokerage account or at another financial
institution. Generally, Edward Jones prevents the purchase of
certain affiliated mutual funds unless you already hold shares of
those mutual funds and transfer them into your Guided Solutions
account(s). However, Edward Jones, in its sole discretion, may
make exceptions based on the particular facts and circumstances
of your situation.
The decision to invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models is
yours. Before making this decision, you and your financial advisor
should discuss whether other programs or investments may be
more appropriate for your investment goals or needs. If you
decide to invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models, our advisory
relationship does not begin until (a) Edward Jones and the
Overlay Manager (defined below) accept and approve the written
Client Services Agreement (“CSA”) with you, which occurs on the

brochure for the Edward Jones SMA Model Portfolios program to
understand the key risks and differences for these SMAs.
The affiliated SMAs are only available for inclusion in a Custom
Model. For more information on Custom Models available in the
Program, please see sub-item A.
Advisory Solutions UMA Models Overview
Advisory Solutions UMA Models is a wrap fee program in which
you can combine multiple investments in a single advisory
account. Advisory Solutions UMA Models offers multi-style
investment services implemented by an investment adviser
(“Overlay Manager”) or, as applicable, Edward Jones.
Investments available in Advisory Solutions UMA Models include
affiliated separately managed accounts (“SMAs”), unaffiliated
SMAs, affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) approved by Edward Jones
(collectively referred to as “Eligible Investments”).
Your account may invest in one or more affiliated mutual funds,
which consist of the Bridge Builder family of mutual funds
(“Bridge Builder Funds”) and the Edward Jones Money Market
Fund (“Money Market Fund”). Please read this Brochure carefully
to understand the differences between affiliated mutual funds and
unaffiliated mutual funds, including additional conflicts of interest
that Edward Jones is subject to in connection with recommending
affiliated mutual funds and how such conflicts are addressed.
Eligible Investments also include private market investments
managed by unaffiliated asset managers in the categories of
private equity, private credit or real assets (collectively, the
“Alternative Investments”). The Alternative Investments are part of
a pilot Edward Jones is conducting in the Program and are
subject to additional client eligibility and qualification
requirements. Edward Jones manages the Alternative
Investments and unaffiliated money market funds made available
in the Program and only offers these asset types on a non-
discretionary basis within the Program. For more information on
Alternative Investments and the associated services, including the
use of unaffiliated money market funds, please see sub-item D.
The Money Market Fund is not available to purchase as an
Eligible Investment for Advisory Solutions UMA Models. However,
cash balances required by a selected SMA strategy or awaiting
investment or reinvestment in your account will be automatically
swept into the Money Market Fund, where they will be held until
invested in an Eligible Investment. The portion of your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account that is invested in the Money
Market Fund will be included in the calculation of your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models Fee (defined below). Please refer to
Appendix A for more information about the Money Market Fund.
Edward Jones selects the Eligible Investments that are available
in Advisory Solutions UMA Models. Edward Jones categorizes
these Eligible Investments by investment style, which we refer to
as “Asset Allocation Categories.” Based on your selected portfolio
objective for your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account (your
“Account Portfolio Objective”), Advisory Solutions UMA Models
will allocate a portion or percentage of your investments to the
Asset Allocation Categories. Asset allocation cannot eliminate
risk associated with investing, but it can help to keep your
account within your stated risk tolerance range.
Your asset allocation may include a cash allocation held in the
Money Market Fund through the cash sweep feature described
above and/or invested in a third-party money market fund. In
certain instances, such as instances of market volatility or
uncertainty, Edward Jones, the Overlay Manager, and/or the
Executing SMA Manager may determine to increase the amount
of cash you hold in your portfolio. The portion of your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account that is held in cash will be
included in the calculation of your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee.
The unaffiliated SMAs are managed or recommended by one or
more unaffiliated investment advisers (“Unaffiliated Managers”),
while the affiliated SMAs are managed or recommended by
Edward Jones (“Affiliated Manager”). Collectively we refer to
Unaffiliated Managers and Affiliated Manager as the “SMA
Managers” throughout this Brochure.
Certain Eligible Investments are only available in taxable
accounts.
Some Eligible Investments are sustainable investments that are
categorized as environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
investments or values-based investments. Sustainable
investments have subjective qualities and characteristics and
may or may not align with your beliefs, values, or desired
investment performance. Please contact your financial advisor if
you are interested in learning more about sustainable
investments available in Advisory Solutions UMA Models and the
associated risk.
SMA Managers provide investment recommendations either
through (a) providing a model portfolio to the Overlay Manager,
or (b) investing the client’s assets in accordance with an SMA
strategy (an “Executing SMA Manager”). Edward Jones may, at
our discretion, restrict the Overlay Manager and Executing SMA
Managers from purchasing certain securities. Conversely, the
Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers may invest in
investments that are not otherwise available at Edward Jones.
The Overlay Manager and/or Executing SMA Manager may, in its
sole discretion, reject an account for any reason.
We can make changes to the list of Eligible Investments at any
time and, excluding Alternative Investments, can change the
amount of your money that is invested in the different Asset
Allocation Categories and/or Eligible Investments. We can also
add and remove Asset Allocation Categories at any time without
prior notice. Excluding Alternative Investments, these additions or
removals could result in the purchase or sale of an Eligible
Investment in your account. Liquidations may cause a taxable
event as well as redemption fees, if applicable.
The affiliated SMAs are created by Edward Jones through a
separate advisory program called the Edward Jones SMA Model
Portfolios. Please read this Brochure and the accompanying
There is no guarantee that the Eligible Investments will perform
in any particular manner. Details about the mutual funds and/or
ETFs in your account can be found in the prospectus, statement

higher long-term growth and rising dividend potential, with a
secondary goal of current interest income. Over the long term, it
should have moderate to higher risk.

Investments in your account can be found in the prospectus,

restrictions may prevent or limit the purchase or continued
purchase of certain Eligible Investments. Situations include but
are not limited to restrictions that prevent purchases of an Eligible
Investment and restrictions that only permit current holders of the
Eligible Investment to continue making purchases, subject to
parameters set forth by Edward Jones.
Balanced toward Income: This portfolio objective emphasizes
current interest income while providing modest long-term growth

lower to moderate risk.
It is important that you read these documents and the Overlay

applicable SMA Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A Brochure,
including any supplements, and Part 3 Client Relationship
Summary before investing.

Income Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes current
interest income with little long-term growth and rising dividend
potential. Over the long term, it should have lower risk than
portfolios with a more growth-oriented objective.
A. Account Portfolio Objective, Investment Model
Construction and Ongoing Asset Allocation
Guidance
In order to invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models, you will
complete a Client Profile, which is a resource used to collect
important information about your account, and generally includes
either your goal or purpose for investing and your investment
time horizon, risk tolerance and other financial information.
Edward Jones constructs each Account Portfolio Objective using
different Asset Allocation Category targets and different Eligible
Investment weightings within each Asset Allocation Category,
taking into account risk tolerance, time horizon and the purpose
of investing funds into Advisory Solutions UMA Models. Edward
Jones is solely responsible for determining, and periodically
reviewing, the Asset Allocation Category targets and ranges, and
Eligible Investment offerings and weightings appropriate for each
Account Portfolio Objective.
Your time horizon will reflect the expected time frame for when
you plan to invest (and potentially withdraw) your assets to
achieve your investment goal or purpose. Time horizon is
expressed as either your life stage or the number of years you
plan on accumulating and/or distributing your assets.
Once you have selected your Account Portfolio Objective, you
select either a Research Model or construct a Custom Model that
is consistent with your chosen Account Portfolio Objective.
Certain Account Portfolio Objectives are not available if your
initial minimum investment is under $500,000. See Item 5, below.
If your account is not assigned to a goal established at Edward
Jones, then we will recommend an Account Portfolio Objective
for your account based upon the level of investment risk you are
willing to take (your risk tolerance or comfort with risk) and the
expected time horizon for your investments. If your account is
assigned to a goal established at Edward Jones, then we will
recommend that you select an Account Portfolio Objective that is
appropriate for the portfolio objective you selected for your goal
(your “Goal Portfolio Objective”).
Research Model: Research Models are based on the Asset
Allocation Category and Eligible Investment weightings
determined by Edward Jones to be appropriate for each Account
Portfolio Objective. Unlike in a Custom Model, you cannot
change the Asset Allocation Category or Eligible Investment
weightings designed for a particular Research Model. These
weightings are set at target percentages appropriate for each
Research Model’s corresponding Account Portfolio Objective.
If you select a Research Model, Edward Jones has ongoing
discretion over the selection of Eligible Investments within your
account.
You may choose an alternative Account Portfolio Objective if you
are willing to take more or less risk than the recommended
Account Portfolio Objective. You ultimately decide whether you
want to select the recommended Account Portfolio Objective or
an alternative Account Portfolio Objective, if available.
Account Portfolio Objectives in Advisory Solutions UMA Models
currently include:
All-Equity Focus: This portfolio objective offers the highest
long-term growth and rising dividend potential. It focuses on
long-term capital appreciation and provides very little to no
current interest income. It also has the highest level of risk, as it
contains only equity investments.
Due to various influences, such as changing market conditions, a
reclassification of an Eligible Investment to a different Asset
Allocation Category or a change in the securities underlying an
Eligible Investment, we may change the Asset Allocation
Category or Eligible Investment weightings within an Account
Portfolio Objective. We may remove and/or add an Eligible
Investment to your Research Model at any time without prior
notice. If your account is taxable, changes to asset allocation will
cause transactions in the account, and these transactions will
have tax consequences.
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing

sub-section Alternative Investments Transition within Item 6 for
information on what will occur if an Alternative Investment is
removed from the Program as an Eligible Investment.
Custom Model: Custom Models provide our clients with more
flexibility to choose investments consistent with their Account
Portfolio Objective. If you select a Custom Model, you are
responsible for choosing Eligible Investments from the list of
Eligible Investments and setting your Asset Allocation Category
and Eligible Investment target percentages within the ranges that
Edward Jones has deemed acceptable for your Account Portfolio
Objective. Eligible Investments within a Custom Model may be
subject to certain investment minimums, as may be determined
by Edward Jones and/or an SMA Manager. In addition, Edward
Jones may, in our sole discretion, implement guidelines and/or
restrictions as to the minimum and maximum number of Eligible
Investments that can be held in an account at any one time and
the minimum and maximum percentage allocations to those
Eligible Investments held in a Custom Model.
Except for Alternative Investments, in scenarios where an Eligible
Investment changes due to fund restructuring, a spinoff, a
merger, or something similar, including where such activity
involves in-kind purchases or redemptions of Eligible
Investments, Edward Jones has the authority to buy, sell, add or
remove one or more Eligible Investments in its discretion to
appropriately align your account with your selected Account
Portfolio Objective and Asset Allocation Categories. This may
require liquidating shares of the Eligible Investment(s)
experiencing changes and/or purchasing shares of a different
Eligible Investment(s). Liquidations may cause a taxable event as
well as redemption fees, if applicable.
Except for Alternative Investments, until such Eligible Investment
designated for removal is removed from your account, there is a
possibility that additional shares of that Eligible Investment may
be purchased. Such purchase(s) may occur in certain instances
including, but not limited to, when dividend reinvestments occur.
The purchase of additional shares of such Eligible Investment
and the eventual mandatory removal of such shares may result in
a taxable event.
For both Research and Custom Models and excluding Alternative
Investments, the replacement Eligible Investment may be subject
to a higher SMA Manager Fee or, in the case of mutual funds and
ETFs, higher internal expenses than the prior investment and you
will be responsible for paying the higher fees. The Program Fee
and the Platform Fee (defined below) for Advisory Solutions UMA
Models you pay to Edward Jones will not change as a result of
the replacement Eligible Investment.
Circumstances may require the replacement of an Eligible
Investment in your account through the utilization of an affiliated
transition fund, which is a short-term investment vehicle used to
facilitate a mutual fund or ETF replacement. The decision to use
a transition fund is solely at our discretion.
Edward Jones may, in our sole discretion when we deem
appropriate deviate from the weighting ranges within a particular
Account Portfolio Objective and create a Custom Model with
different weighting ranges that is appropriate for a specific subset
of clients within that Account Portfolio Objective. If you elect such
a Custom Model, you will be expected to set Asset Allocation
Category and Eligible Investment targets within the range that
Edward Jones designates for that portfolio, rather than the
ranges designated under the Account Portfolio Objective. Due to
various influences, such as changing market conditions, a
reclassification of an Eligible Investment to a different Asset
Allocation Category or a change in the securities underlying an
Eligible Investment, we may change the Asset Allocation
Category or Eligible Investment weighting within an Account
Portfolio Objective. If such changes conflict with your current
Eligible Investment selections or your chosen Asset Allocation
Category or Eligible Investment targets, we will, when possible,
provide you thirty (30) days’ notice to modify your selection. If you
do not update your selections within 30 days (or such shorter
time as may be determined at the discretion of Edward Jones) of
such notice, we may trade Eligible Investments within your
account, or change your Asset Allocation Category or Eligible
Investment targets, to bring your account back into alignment
with your chosen Account Portfolio Objective. If your account is
taxable, these change will result in transactions in your account
that may have tax consequences.
If you select a Custom Model, you may not be able to purchase
certain Eligible Investments in your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account. For example, certain mutual funds that are
Eligible Investments may be closed to new accounts.
Multi-Year Transition Service Pilot. Edward Jones is
conducting a Multi-Year Transition Service pilot with a limited
number of clients. The Multi-Year Transition Service is intended
for clients seeking to fund their taxable Custom Model UMA
account with assets from an existing account inside or outside of
Edward Jones or, alternatively, seeking to transition from one
portfolio to another within their existing taxable Advisory Solutions
UMA Models account. The Multi-Year Transition Service allows
the client to work with their Edward Jones financial advisor to
establish a timeline for transitioning the sale of Eligible
Investments over consecutive tax years (the “Transition Period”)
while moving to their target portfolio allocation over the Transition
Period. The terms and conditions of the Multi-Year Transition
Service are set forth in the CSA.
Alternative Investments in a Custom Model. Edward Jones is
conducting a pilot that offers qualified clients Alternative
Investments, which are managed by Edward Jones on a non-
discretionary basis within your account. Alternative Investments
If an Eligible Investment is removed from the list of Eligible
Investments for any reason, the Eligible Investment can no longer
be held in your account. Except for Alternative Investments, if we
remove an Eligible Investment, we will, when possible, provide
you thirty (30) days’ notice and recommend a replacement
Eligible Investment (which may include affiliated mutual funds or
an affiliated SMA). If you do not want to accept the replacement
Eligible Investment, you must notify Edward Jones within 30 days
(or such shorter time as may be determined at the discretion of
Edward Jones) of such notice; otherwise, we will select the
replacement Eligible Investment for your account. Please see the

that you agree to all of its terms and conditions. You cannot
change or amend the CSA in any way. By signing the CSA and
excluding the services associated with Alternative Investments,
you give Edward Jones (and the Overlay Manager and/or
Executing SMA. Manager, as applicable) discretionary
investment and trading authority over your account. You do not

Executing SMA Manager(s), and Overlay Manager, as applicable,
to manage your Eligible Investments on a discretionary basis by
buying and selling investments for your account whenever
deemed appropriate and without your approval of each
transaction, includes but is not limited to:
• Implementing any reasonable restrictions.
• Selecting the Eligible Investments for your account (except for
Custom Models);
This discretionary investment and trading authority can be
exercised at any time and without prior notice to you.
• Removing Eligible Investments from the list of Eligible
Investments and your account;
• Replacing an Eligible Investment in your account with another
recommended Eligible Investment (which may include affiliated
mutual funds and unaffiliated mutual funds) (for Custom
Models, we will, when possible, provide you thirty (30) days’
notice and recommend a replacement Eligible Investment

such shorter time as may be determined at the discretion of
Edward Jones) of such notice; otherwise, we will select the

Investment Restrictions: For both Research and Custom
Models, you can request to restrict the purchase of certain equity
securities, including a specific equity security or category of
securities. For example, you may restrict the Overlay Manager or
Executing SMA Manager(s) from buying specific securities or a
category of securities (e.g., tobacco or alcohol companies) that
you consider objectionable for personal reasons or that you wish
to avoid due to potential overconcentration in a specific security.
The Overlay Manager will apply the uninvested cash resulting
from the security or category restriction across other investments
held within the SMA Manager’s strategy. When a security or
category is restricted from purchase, your account performance
will differ from other accounts investing in the same Account
Portfolio Objective and may be adversely impacted. You may
restrict the mutual funds or ETFs your account may invest in, but
not the actual securities in which the underlying mutual fund or
ETF invests. You cannot restrict the purchase of a fixed-income
security. Restrictions must be determined to be reasonable by
Edward Jones.

selected your Account Portfolio Objective, you will complete a
CSA that must be accepted and approved by Edward Jones and
the Overlay Manager. Trading of your account will not begin until
the CSA is accepted and approved, which can take several
business days. Upon approval, the Overlay Manager is
authorized to buy, sell or trade securities in your account in a
manner consistent with the Asset Allocation Category established
by us, the model portfolio provided by the applicable SMA
Manager and any restrictions you have placed on the account.

sole discretion of Edward Jones, the weighting of the Asset
Allocation Category or Eligible Investment has deviated too far
from its target;
• Adding and removing an Asset Allocation Category pursuant to
Edward Jones’ instruction, which could result in the purchase
of Eligible Investments to fill the newly added Asset Allocation
Category, or sale of an Eligible Investment to support the
removal of an Asset Allocation Category;
• Implementing any reasonable restrictions that you have placed
on the purchase of certain equity securities or category of
equity securities; and
• Managing your taxable account in a tax-efficient manner with
the objective to minimize your realized gain and maximize
realized losses while maintaining the desired investment
allocation. Tax-efficient management of your taxable account
may conflict with model portfolio recommendations from an
SMA Manager; in these instances, tax-efficient management
may take precedence over the model portfolio recommendations
of an SMA Manager.
• For clients enrolled in the Multi-Year Transition Service, it may
not be possible to achieve or maintain the desired investment
allocation during the Transition Period.
• The Overlay Manager will monitor and maintain the required
cash thresholds set by each selected SMA strategy in your
account. If your cash balance goes above the threshold for one
of your SMA strategies, the Overlay Manager will apply the
excess cash into the investments held within the SMA strategy.
Pursuant to parameters determined at the sole discretion of
Edward Jones for the Eligible Investments we have discretionary
investment and trading authority over in the Program, if the
percentage of an Asset Allocation Category or an Eligible
Investment in your account has drifted too far from its target, your
account will generally be rebalanced back toward the target of
one or more Asset Allocation Categories or Eligible Investments
in your account at the discretion of the Overlay Manager or
Edward Jones. Rebalancing is achieved by buying, redeeming or
selling Eligible Investments, which may include affiliated mutual
funds, until the Asset Allocation Category or Eligible Investment is
in alignment with the target for your account. We may also
rebalance your account if an Eligible Investment is removed from
the list of Eligible Investments; if you are invested in a Research
Model, an Eligible Investment is added to the Research Model;
or, if you are invested in a Custom Model, you direct a change in
your Eligible Investments. As a result, the portion of your account
invested in mutual funds and/or ETFs may be reallocated, in
whole or in part, from unaffiliated mutual funds and/or ETFs into
affiliated mutual funds. Rebalancing trades are subject to certain
dollar minimums as determined by Edward Jones, in our sole
discretion. You will not be notified before a rebalancing occurs in
these types of Eligible Investments. Neither asset allocation nor
rebalancing is guaranteed to produce a profit or protect against
loss. Rebalancing trades in a taxable account may result in a
taxable event to you. Consult with your tax professional before
you invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models.
Edward Jones is solely responsible for the selection of the Overlay
Manager for Advisory Solutions UMA Models. We reserve the right
to change the Overlay Manager at any time in our sole discretion
to an unaffiliated investment manager or an affiliated investment
manager, or to assume the responsibilities of the Overlay Manager.
B. Overlay Management
Pursuant to a contractual agreement between Edward Jones and
Natixis Advisors, LLC (“Natixis”), Natixis currently serves as the
Overlay Manager. Natixis does not invest in, nor manage, the
Alternative Investments offered through the Alternative
Investment Services Pilot. For the Program, Natixis performs the
following services:
• Implementing instructions by SMA Managers and Edward
Jones in regard to the securities to be bought, sold or held for
your account, including determining the amount of securities to
be bought or sold;
• Placing orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities in
accordance with the model portfolio recommendations of the
SMA Managers and Edward Jones and/or communicating the
orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities through other
broker-dealers (please note: a taxable account funded with
securities will result in purchase and/or sale orders in your
account which may have tax consequences);
C. Execution Services
In Advisory Solutions UMA Models and excluding Alternative
Investments the Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers
have discretion over your account. Edward Jones executes
trades at the direction of the Overlay Manager and Executing
SMA Managers. In these cases, Edward Jones acts solely as a
broker-dealer, not as an investment adviser. When we act as
executing broker, there may be times when we engage in
“principal transactions.” This means that we will fill your purchase
orders from our own inventory of securities. We will not charge
you a markup or markdown on these principal transactions.
However, if the Overlay Manager or Executing SMA Manager
buys from or sells to our inventory, we may earn revenue or incur
losses depending on market or price fluctuations in the security.
Edward Jones will engage in principal transactions only where
permitted under applicable law.
• Placing orders for the purchase, sale or redemption of shares
of mutual funds and/or ETFs in accordance with instructions
received from Edward Jones or you;
• Rebalancing one or more Asset Allocation Categories or
Edward Jones may also engage in “cross transactions” in
Advisory Solutions UMA Models. This means that we act as a
broker-dealer for advisory clients on both the sell side and the
buy side of the same transaction. When this occurs, the Overlay
Manager or Executing SMA Managers will direct all trades and
Eligible Investments within your account back toward their
respective targets if, pursuant to parameters determined in the
Page 8 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
will instruct either Edward Jones or another broker-dealer to
execute those trades. Edward Jones will engage in cross
transactions only where permitted under applicable law.
Clients should be aware that some Executing SMA Managers
have historically placed all or substantially all of their client trades
as step-out trades with another broker-dealer for execution.
Frequently, these trades have been for fixed-income,
foreign and small-cap equity securities. As a result,
these types of Executing SMA Managers and their
strategies could be more costly to a client than Executing
SMA Managers that primarily place trades with Edward Jones
for execution. Additionally, the Overlay Manager has at times
engaged in trading away. Please see Edward Jones’ website at
www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures for more information
regarding when the Overlay Manager chose to step-out as well
as a list of Executing SMA Managers who informed Edward
Jones that they traded away from Edward Jones during the most
recent year and general information about the additional cost (if
any) of those trades.
The Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers are
required to seek best execution for all trades, which means the
Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers have full
authority to execute trades with those broker-dealers that they
believe are capable of providing the best qualitative execution
under the circumstances. In Advisory Solutions UMA Models, you
will not pay additional trading costs when Edward Jones executes
a trade order in your account as broker-dealer. For this reason,
the Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers may
determine that Edward Jones’ execution capabilities as broker-
dealer provide the most favorable option for placing trade orders
in your account. However, the Overlay Manager and Executing
SMA Managers may choose to execute trades with another
broker-dealer if they reasonably believe another broker-dealer
can obtain a more favorable execution under the circumstances.
This practice is frequently referred to as “trading away,” and
these types of trades are frequently called “step-out” trades.
Step-out trades are executed at another broker-dealer and
cleared and settled at Edward Jones.
Edward Jones does not engage in soft-dollar arrangements;
however, the Overlay Manager or Executing SMA Managers
participating in Advisory Solutions UMA Models may direct
transactions to brokers in return for brokerage or research
services. In certain instances, the Overlay Manager or Executing
SMA Managers engaged in soft-dollar arrangements may pay a
broker-dealer (other than Edward Jones) higher commissions
than another broker-dealer adequately qualified to effect such
transactions would have charged where the Overlay Manager or
Executing SMA Manager determines in good faith that the
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the soft-dollar
benefits received. Soft-dollar arrangements may be considered
as a factor in best execution determinations but will not replace
the duty of the Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers
to seek best execution for trades in your account(s).
The Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers may
participate in other wrap fee programs sponsored by firms other
than Edward Jones. In addition, the Overlay Manager or
Executing SMA Managers may manage institutional and other
accounts that are not part of a wrap fee program. In order to
avoid buying or selling the same security for all client accounts
through multiple broker-dealers, the Overlay Manager or
Executing SMA Managers may decide to aggregate all such
client transactions into a block trade that is executed through one
broker-dealer. This practice may enable the Overlay Manager or
Executing SMA Managers to obtain more favorable execution,
including more favorable pricing, than would otherwise be
available if orders were not aggregated. Using block transactions
may also assist the Overlay Manager or Executing SMA
Managers in potentially avoiding an adverse effect on the price of
a security that could result from simultaneously placing a number
of separate successive or competing client orders. This practice
generally results in “trading away” from Edward Jones, as
described above.
If the Overlay Manager or Executing SMA Manager executes
trade orders with another broker-dealer, you will incur trading
costs in addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee. The
trading costs for step-out trades to another broker-dealer may
include commissions, markups, markdowns or “spreads” paid to
market makers in addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA Models
Fee. Additionally, if a foreign currency transaction is required, a
foreign broker-dealer may receive compensation in the form of a
dealer spread, markup or markdown. There may be other
exchange or similar fees, including, but not limited to, foreign
ordinary conversion and creation of American Depositary
Receipts, charged by third parties as well as foreign tax charges.
All of these charges are in addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee. In complying with its best execution obligation, the
Overlay Manager or Executing SMA Managers will review several
factors that reflect on the quality of the trade execution of the
broker- dealer. These additional trading costs may be one of
several factors the Overlay Manager or Executing SMA
Managers assess when deciding to trade away. The Overlay
Manager or Executing SMA Manager may also consider other
factors such as: the nature of the security; the size and type of
transaction; the nature and character of the markets involved; the
executing broker’s execution, clearance and settlement
capabilities as well as its reputation; soft-dollar arrangements, as
described below; the importance of speed, knowledge, efficiency,
consistency and anonymity provided by the executing broker; and
additional investment opportunities. The Overlay Manager and
each Executing SMA Manager may consider different factors or
may place different weight on the factors it uses to meet its best
execution obligation. The Overlay Manager’s and Executing SMA
Managers’ best execution obligations do not require the Overlay
Manager or Executing SMA Managers to obtain the best price or
the lowest available cost of trade orders.
Alternatively, the Overlay Manager or Executing SMA Managers
may use a trade rotation process where one group of clients may
have a transaction effected before or after another group of
clients. The Overlay Manager or Executing SMA Managers
implement their trades with certain clients, custodians or
Page 9 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
process redemptions or may redeem positions in-kind. In such
circumstances, client assets may not be fully invested and may
be subject to market risk between the redemption date and the
reinvestment of the assets. Alternatively, Edward Jones may rely
on the allocation process described above to effect the
redemptions over time in a manner consistent with the limits set
forth in the Eligible Investment’s trading policies and procedures.
sponsors using a trade rotation process in order to minimize the
impact of their trading on the securities or markets in which they
trade. These trade rotation practices may result in a transaction
being effected for your account near or at the end of the Overlay
Manager or Executing SMA Managers’ rotation, resulting in your
account bearing the market price impact, if any, of those trades
executed earlier in the rotation. This may result in your receiving
a less favorable net price for the trade. However, the Overlay
Manager’s and Executing SMA Managers’ trade rotation policies
are typically designed to ensure that clients are treated equitably
and fairly over time.
Trade Errors. In certain circumstances, trade errors may occur in
your account. When a trade error occurs that is caused by the
actions of Edward Jones, the Overlay Manager or an Executing
SMA Manager, Edward Jones will work to promptly correct the
error while ensuring your account is not disadvantaged.
It is Edward Jones’ policy to use an Edward Jones error account to
correct trades. This may result in trades between your account and
an Edward Jones error account. If the process of resolving trade
errors results in a net gain in the error account, as accrued and
calculated on a periodic basis, we will donate the amount of such
gain to charities chosen by Edward Jones.
The Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers will not
aggregate or rotate Custom Models trades with Research Models
trades when Edward Jones removes a mutual fund or ETF from
the list of Eligible Investments. Because Custom Models are
typically given notice and time to select an Eligible Investment
replacement other than the recommended Eligible Investment,
Custom Models will normally trade after Research Models. As a
result, Research Models and Custom Models may receive
different prices.
You should review the Overlay Manager’s and each Executing
SMA Manager’s and non-discretionary SMA Manager’s Form
ADV Part 2A Brochure and Part 3 Client Relationship Summary
for more information about their soft-dollar, trade aggregation and
trade rotation practices and any related conflicts of interest.
Brochures for the Overlay Manager and all SMA Managers,
discretionary or non-discretionary, can be found at
www.advisorinfo.sec.gov.
The Overlay Manager and Executing SMA Managers are solely
responsible for ensuring they comply with their best execution
obligations to you. You should also inquire about the Overlay
Manager’s or Executing SMA Managers’ trading practices and
consider that information carefully before choosing to invest in
Advisory Solutions UMA Models. In particular, you should
carefully consider any additional trading costs you may incur.
Edward Jones Reserve Line of Credit. Certain Advisory
Solutions UMA Models non-retirement accounts may be eligible to
serve as collateral in support of securities-based loans offered by
Edward Jones SBL, LLC (the “Lender”) a non-investment adviser,
non-bank affiliate of Edward Jones. The securities-based lending
offering is called the Edward Jones Reserve Line of Credit
(“Reserve Line”). The terms and conditions applicable to Reserve
Line are governed by the Edward Jones Reserve Line of Credit
Agreement (“Reserve Line Agreement”) and are not included in
this brochure. Client “Obligations” (as that term is defined in the
Reserve Line Agreement) are collateralized by the pledged
account and the assets, including securities, within that account. If
your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account is used as collateral
to take an advance under the Reserve Line (a “Reserve Line
Advance”), your account and assets within it are pledged to
support your Obligations and you will not be permitted to withdraw
securities or funds from your account unless sufficient collateral
remains to support your Obligations as required under the Reserve
Line Agreement. The availability of the Reserve Line will depend
on whether the Lender is authorized to extend credit in the state
where you reside, the value of the assets, including securities held
in the pledged accounts and the eligibility guidelines set forth in the
Reserve Line Agreement. Lender, at its sole discretion, may refuse
a request for a Reserve Line Advance. Reserve Line Advances
may be used for personal and business purposes but may not be
used for the purpose of purchasing securities or reducing or
retiring any indebtedness incurred to purchase securities.
Trade Allocation. From time to time, the volume and/or number
of trades that must be executed for Advisory Solutions UMA
Models accounts may exceed Edward Jones’ operational and
technological capacities if these trades are made on a single day.
This may occur if Edward Jones is removing an Eligible
Investment from the list of Eligible Investments, if a large number
of accounts need to be rebalanced, or by request of an Eligible
Investment. In order to maintain the orderly processing of trades
and to minimize the incidence of errors, Edward Jones may
decide to allocate trades over an extended period of time. This
may result in clients receiving different prices during such events.
However, Edward Jones’ allocation process is designed to be fair
and equitable over time through the use of a random allocation
process conducted prior to trade execution.
Before making the decision to take a Reserve Line Advance, it is
important you understand the terms and conditions of the Reserve
Line Agreement; the risks and costs associated with taking a
Reserve Line Advance; and how the performance of your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account may be negatively affected. Please
review the Reserve Line Agreement for a discussion of the risks as
well as the “Reserve Line Risk” section below before taking a
Reserve Line Advance. The Reserve Line Agreement also includes
a discussion of the costs of these advances. You will pay interest
charges on a Reserve Line Advance to the Lender, which are
In addition, if the volume or size of redemptions required to be
effected as a result of the removal of an Eligible Investment from
the list of Eligible Investments or the rebalancing of a large
number of accounts exceeds the limits set forth in the Eligible
Investment’s trading policies and procedures, the Eligible
Investment may exceed the standard settlement period to

prerequisite to qualifying for access to the Alternative Investment
Services Pilot is that you must have selected an Account Portfolio
Objective for your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account that is
aligned to your investment goal and associated Goal Portfolio
Objective.
For more information regarding how to review what investment
goal, Goal Portfolio Objective, or Account Portfolio Objective you
have selected for your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account,
please contact your financial advisor.
Advisory Services Provided. Edward Jones will perform the
following Alternative Investment Services Pilot:
• Recommending a Custom Model that includes an allocation to
Alternative Investments that aligns to your Goal Portfolio
Objective for your consideration. You are responsible for
deciding if and how you want to take action on that advice.
• Initial and ongoing due diligence on the Alternative Investment
and its asset manager.
• Determining and advising on the unique qualification criteria
separate from, and in addition to, the Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee (defined below) you pay us. Before taking out a
Reserve Line Advance, first evaluate the intended duration of the
advance and your other options, including alternative loan options
or liquidating securities. It is our view that the use of securities-
based lending is most appropriate when short in duration. The
costs of a Reserve Line Advance, including interest charges, and
Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee may be greater than the
income generated by your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account and, as a result, your account’s value may decrease. To
the extent that a “Maintenance Call” (as that term is defined in the
Reserve Line Agreement) is triggered in connection with your
Reserve Line and the Lender instructs us to liquidate any pledged
collateral, we will act solely in our capacity as a broker-dealer and
not as an investment adviser. Moreover, in causing the liquidation
and sale of such pledged collateral to satisfy a Maintenance Call,
the Lender will prioritize its interests over your interests, we are
obligated to prioritize the Lender’s interests over your interests and
we will prioritize our interests over your interests. To learn more
about the Reserve Line offering and its availability, please contact
your Financial Advisor.
and concentration limits associated with a particular Alternative
Investment purchase request.
• Recommending an Alternative Investment purchase or sale for
your consideration.
• Providing the appropriate prospectus and/or offering
documents of the Alternative Investment (the “Offering
Documents”) to you.
• Obtaining the necessary documents to facilitate the purchase,
sale, or transfer of an Alternative Investment.
• Working with you and the appropriate transfer agent, as
D. Alternative Investments and Associated
Services Pilot
Advisory Solutions UMA Models is conducting a pilot that offers
qualifying clients the ability to buy and sell Alternative
Investments using a Custom Model and temporary access to an
unaffiliated money market fund for pending purchase requests
(the “Alternative Investment Services Pilot”). The Alternative
Investment Services Pilot is offered and managed by Edward
Jones on a non-discretionary basis. All other Eligible Investments
in the account are managed by Edward Jones, the Overlay
Manager, and/or an Executing SMA Manager as described in
sub-items A-C.
needed, to ensure an Alternative Investment purchase or sale
request is in good order and can be moved forward to
completion or settlement.
• Obtaining and providing you with valuation information on the
Alternative Investment.
High Net Worth Clients. If you are a client with $5 million or
more in investable assets and also eligible to purchase
Alternative Investments, your Alternative Investment Services
Pilot will give you access to an Edward Jones home office team
that specializes in working with the complex needs of high net
worth clients (the “Portfolio Strategy team” or individually the
“Portfolio Strategy representative”) and your financial advisor.
• Monitoring your Alternative Investment(s) and notifying you
with recommended actions for your consideration if your
Alternative Investment(s) is out of alignment to the Target
Range for your Goal Portfolio Objective. You are responsible
for deciding if and how you want to take action on that advice.
• Reviewing, at least annually, your Alternative Investments in
relation to your Account Portfolio Objective and associated
Goal Portfolio Objective.
Goal Portfolio Objective and Account Portfolio Objective
Prerequisites. A prerequisite to qualifying for access to the
Alternative Investment Services Pilot is that you must have
selected and assigned your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account to an investment goal, which allows a Goal Portfolio
Objective to be created. A Goal Portfolio Objective provides the
cumulative asset allocation and investment category ranges
(“Target Ranges”), while considering your time horizon and
comfort with risk, for the total assets or accounts you have
assigned to your stated investment goal.
Ineligible Securities. Edward Jones will not accept into the
Program any Alternative Investment that has not been deemed
an Eligible Investment in the Program. Further, Edward Jones
reserves the right to reject, in its sole discretion, a request to
transfer into the Program an existing Alternative Investment that
you purchased outside of Edward Jones, even if such Alternative
Investment has been identified as an Eligible Investment within
the Program.
The Account Portfolio Objective is a component of the Goal
Portfolio Objective and provides a specific portion or percentage
of Asset Allocation Categories for a subset of assets or single
account connected to your investment goal. As such, another
Required Eligible Investments Minimum. Edward Jones
requires that you meet a minimum of $300,000 in Eligible
Page 11 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

Investments in your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account as
a prerequisite to access the Alternative Investment Services Pilot
prior to an initial Alternative Investment purchase.
Valuation Availability and Timing. An Alternative Investment
does not trade at the same frequency as other Eligible
Investments held in your account. Valuation information for an
Alternative Investment may not change for days, weeks, or
months, and may be based on estimated or actual values.
Once you have purchased an Alternative Investment in your
account, if the value of your Eligible Investments, excluding your
Alternative Investments, in your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account falls below the requisite minimum amount, we may, in
our discretion, remove your account from the Program.
The asset manager provides valuation information pertaining to
your Alternative Investment, which Edward Jones utilizes to
provide you position or account valuations, statements,
confirmations and tax reporting documents. Edward Jones relies
solely on the valuation information provided from the asset
manager and does not attest to the accuracy or completeness of
such information.
Furthermore, Alternative Investments often have minimum net
worth, income, or other financial qualification requirements.
These qualifications may vary depending on the Alternative
Investment and you may be required to maintain these minimums
to remain invested in the Alternative Investment. These
qualification requirements are determined by the Alternative
Investment’s asset manager and are in addition to Edward Jones’
Alternative Investments’ client eligibility requirements.
The portion of the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee
attributable to the Alternative Investment(s) in your account is
calculated using the valuation information available to Edward
Jones for your Alternative Investment(s). For more information on
the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee, including how it is
calculated, please see sub-section G – Fees.
Trading. Once you have notified your financial advisor or
Portfolio Strategy representative that you want to proceed with
purchasing or selling an Alternative Investment, Edward Jones
will take several actions, including:
• For purchase requests, confirm you have sufficient cash in
your account or a sale in process in your account that would
cover the purchase price of the requested Alternative
Investment.
• Invest the cash in your account that has been designated for
Alternative Investment Alignment. Edward Jones will review
your Alternative Investment(s) and notify you when these
investments are out of alignment with the associated Target
Ranges for your Account Portfolio Objective or Goal Portfolio
Objective. If your account is out of alignment for any reason,
including, but not limited to, valuation increases, you will be
responsible for realigning your account within a time frame
determined by Edward Jones in its sole discretion and
communicated to you.
an Alternative Investment purchase into an unaffiliated money
market fund of Edward Jones’ choosing. The Advisory
Solutions UMA Models Fee, as defined in sub-section G, will
be charged on the value of the unaffiliated money market
position while you hold that position in your account.
To realign the Alternative Investment(s), you must provide
instructions to Edward Jones on how much of your Alternative
Investment(s) you request to sell or transfer your Alternative
Investment to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account, which
allows Alternative Investments transferred from an Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account to be held in this account as a
hold-eligible investment, or third-party account. Upon receiving
your request, Edward Jones will work with you to begin the trade
process, including the issuance of the Alternative Investment
Documents. Such transactions may result in tax consequences
as well as additional fees and expenses as described in sub-
section G.
• Provide you with the applicable documents associated with the
requested Alternative Investment including, but not limited to,
the Offering Documents, the investor application and contract
associated with that Alternative Investment, and the Edward
Jones Alternative Investments Client Acknowledgement form
(collectively, the “Alternative Investment Documents”) for your
review and completion. It is very important that you review
every document in the Alternative Investment Documents
in-depth. These resources contain important information on
how that Alternative Investment is structured, including unique
risks, limitations, such as restrictions on when or how you can
sell your investment, and much more.
In the event you do not provide instructions to Edward Jones to
realign your Alternative Investment(s) within the required time
frame, Edward Jones may, in its sole discretion, determine to
remove your account from the Program.
• Provide the transfer agent and/or asset manager with the
E. Custody, Trade Confirmations and Account
Statements

from your account to fund your Alternative Investment
purchase order.
• Provide you with a pending transaction valuation in your
Assets in your account are held at Edward Jones as broker-

custodian.
account to represent the value of the Alternative Investment
purchase while the trade is processed and until it is settled.
The Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee, as defined in
sub-section G, will be charged on the value of this pending
transaction.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
Page 12 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
• Safekeeping your funds and securities;
Please review your account statements carefully and notify us
immediately if you detect an error or a discrepancy.
• Collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales; and
• Disbursing funds from your account.
F. Termination of Advisory Solutions UMA Models
Services
Edward Jones (as broker-dealer) will provide all accounts with
written trade confirmations of securities transactions and account
statements for each month there is activity in the account. You
can waive the right to receive certain trade confirmations;
however, you will still receive mutual fund and ETF prospectuses,
when applicable. If EJTC is the custodian, the account statement
will be sent by Edward Jones on behalf of EJTC.
You or Edward Jones may terminate your participation in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models at any time without any advisory
termination fee. While oral instructions to terminate your
participation in Advisory Solutions UMA Models are generally
acceptable, Edward Jones, in our sole discretion, may require
written notice in order to terminate Advisory Solutions UMA Models
advisory services for your account.
Upon notice of termination of your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
services, Edward Jones will no longer act as an investment adviser
and will not be obligated to recommend any action with regard to
the assets in your account, but you may instruct us to sell the
securities or transfer the securities to another Edward Jones
account or a third-party account.
In the event of a transfer of mutual funds and/or fund share classes
that cannot be held outside of your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account, Edward Jones will: (a) convert the mutual fund
shares into a different share class before the shares transfer; and/
or, (b) liquidate the mutual fund shares and transfer cash. Edward
Jones follows the instructions of mutual fund companies to convert
the shares to a different share class or liquidate the shares when
transferring mutual funds. Further, if you are seeking to transfer the
securities in your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account to a
third-party account and the receiving firm notifies Edward Jones
that it does not or cannot accept one or more securities as part of
such transfer, you direct Edward Jones to liquidate the securities
rejected by the receiving firm and transfer the cash.
Conversions could result in higher or lower fees and/or expenses
than those paid under the previous share class and liquidations
may cause a taxable event.
Class Action Claim Filing Service. Effective June 1, 2024,
Edward Jones will partner with a third-party service provider to
assist with recovery services by filing claims on your behalf in
certain “Class Actions” related to securities and other financial
instruments held in your account. “Class Actions” includes all U.S.
state and federal class actions, Securities and Exchange
Commission disgorgements, or other regulatory cases, as well as
international class actions and/or collective actions involving
publicly traded securities and financial instruments. As part of your
CSA, you have provided limited power and authority to Edward
Jones and/or the third-party service provider Edward Jones
partners with to submit claims on your behalf, either directly or
indirectly through such third-party service provider, including
execution of necessary forms and documents. Pursuant to your
CSA, you will be bound by, and subject to, the terms of all forms
and releases that may be entered into for settlements in which a
claim is filed on your behalf. In so doing, you appoint Edward
Jones and/or the third-party service provider Edward Jones
partners with as your administrative agent to process and
administer your participation in such asset recovery cases as a
class member. This Class Action Service is a separate
administrative service, is not part of the advisory services offered
in the UMA Models program or covered by the UMA Models Fee,
and Edward Jones does not act in an advisory capacity when
making this service available to you. Additionally, Edward Jones
will not provide legal advice to you or any other party related to
your participation in such Class Actions.
Charges for the processing of class action claims shall be subject
to a contingency fee assessed by the third-party service provider in
the event a recovery is made. The contingency fee shall be a
percentage of the total reimbursement of Class Actions settlements
the third-party service provider collects. Additional service charges
may apply related to the distribution and handling of payment if
your account has been closed and a paper check and/or location
services/escheatment is required.
Bridge Builder funds are only available to be purchased or held by
you in Edward Jones’ advisory programs and you may not direct
us to hold or purchase Bridge Builder funds in an Edward Jones
Select brokerage account or at another financial institution.
Accordingly, any positions in Bridge Builder funds will be liquidated
if you move from an Edward Jones advisory account to an Edward
Jones Select brokerage account or account at another financial
institution. The Edward Jones Money Market Fund is generally
unavailable to be purchased or held outside of Edward Jones’
advisory programs. Accordingly, in many situations, any position in
the Edward Jones Money Market Fund will be liquidated if you
move from an Edward Jones advisory account to an Edward Jones
Select brokerage account or account at another financial
institution.
You will be automatically enrolled in the Class Action Claim Filing
Service. However, you are not obligated to continue to provide
Edward Jones with the authority to permit the third-party provider
to process any such claims. Rather, you may opt out of this service
and pursue such claims on your own by advising Edward Jones, in
writing, of your intention to opt out of this third-party service.
In addition, SMA Managers may invest in mutual funds that have
been developed for use solely with their respective SMA strategy.
Accordingly, any positions in such mutual funds will be liquidated if
you terminate your participation in such SMA strategy or your CSA
is terminated.
Further terms and conditions applicable to this Class Action Claim
Filing Service can be found at edwardjones.com/accountfeatures.
For Alternative Investment(s), due to potential restrictions on when

Your Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee includes a Program
Fee, Platform Fee and SMA Manager Fees, less any applicable
fee reduction and/or fee offset (as discussed more fully below).
Clients participating in the Multi-Year Transition Service do not
pay fees in addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee
and other fees described below. A fee may be charged for the
Multi-Year Transition Service in the future.
and/or how much of an Alternative Investment can be sold or
transferred, Edward Jones will transfer your entire account to a
limited services account, as defined below, upon notice of
termination. Please read further in this section on the limited
services account for more information on what you will and will not
be able to do with your Alternative Investment(s) and other
remaining Eligible Investments once they are transferred to a
limited services account.
Taxable gains, taxable losses, redemption fees or sales charges
may be assessed upon the liquidation or redemption of securities.
These fees and expenses may negatively impact your investment
performance.
In addition to your Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee, Eligible
Investments, including ETFs, affiliated mutual funds, and, as
applicable, Alternative Investments, in your account, have internal
fees and expenses that are described in the prospectus and/or
Offering Documents of each fund.
These internal fees and expenses vary depending on the
particular Eligible Investment.
You are responsible for the cost of commissions or transaction
charges for securities trades directed by the Overlay Manager
and/or Executing SMA Managers for execution by broker-dealers
other than Edward Jones (i.e., “step-out” trades).
The following section explains:
• The fees and expenses
• How the fees and expenses are calculated and paid
• Potential fee reductions and offsets you may receive from
Edward Jones
If you request the assets in your account be liquidated, proceeds
from the sale of your securities will be available upon settlement of
the trades generated to complete the liquidation. The Executing
SMA Manager or Overlay Manager may use multiple trading days
following the date after Edward Jones receives your liquidation
request to fully liquidate your securities if the SMA Manager or
Overlay Manager believes it is in your best interest to have a
longer liquidation period. Because bond markets may be less
liquid, these investments may be more difficult to liquidate,
especially during periods of extreme market volatility. Therefore,
you may experience delays or adverse price fluctuations when
liquidating these securities. Liquidation of securities held in your
account may cause a taxable event as well as additional fees and
expenses.
The Program Fee
Every Advisory Solutions UMA Models account is charged a
Program Fee for certain investment advisory services, including
initial and ongoing analysis of your investment needs and
objectives; periodic consultations; ongoing evaluation and
selection of investments for this program; Edward Jones’ ongoing
investment policy guidance and services to keep your account
aligned with such guidance; periodic performance reporting;
custody and transaction execution services and other related
services as described in this Brochure.
Program Fee Schedule
Upon notice of termination, if you fail to instruct Edward Jones as
to the disposition of assets in your account, your account, or if you
have Alternative Investments in your account, your account
services will be significantly limited (“limited services account”). We
will no longer act as a fiduciary to your account, and you can no
longer rely on us to provide advisory services to your account. You
will be able to receive distributions, liquidate securities and
withdraw funds from your limited services account, but you will not
be able to purchase new securities or add to existing positions
(except for money market funds). Any transactions will be subject
to fees, commissions and sales charges applicable to Edward
Jones brokerage accounts.

UMA Models account to an Edward Jones account that is eligible
for the Reserve Line, the Reserve Line (if any) associated with

the Lender and all outstanding Obligations will immediately be due
and payable. The Lender may instruct us to liquidate securities or
assets pledged as collateral (without notice to you) in an amount
sufficient to satisfy outstanding Obligations. We will act solely in
our capacity as a broker-dealer in connection with any such
instruction, not as an investment adviser. Please see the Reserve

Additionally, accounts that do not meet the above criteria with

person’s account in your Pricing Group, will be added to your
Pricing Group. Furthermore, if your account does not meet the
above criteria, Edward Jones may, in our sole discretion, create a
Pricing Group that accommodates your situation. Please contact
your financial advisor if you have questions about your Pricing
Group.
In addition, the Program Fee and/or Platform Fee may be lower
than the above schedules in the following circumstances:
How the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee
Is Calculated
The Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee is based on the market
value of all assets held in your account, including cash, cash
equivalents, shares of third-party money market funds and
shares of the Edward Jones Money Market Fund. Reserve Line
Advances, if any, do not reduce the market value of your account
for the purposes of calculating the Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee. The Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee is
comprised of fees assessed at annual fee rates (shown above),
payable monthly in arrears. As the value of the assets in your
account increases or decreases, you are charged according to
the applicable tiered fee schedules set forth above.
• Either Edward Jones or your financial advisor negotiates a
lower Program Fee;
• You are an active or eligible retired associate of Edward Jones;
or
• You are a member of an active or eligible retired associate’s
Pricing Group.
The fees assessed by Edward Jones will reduce your account’s
overall returns and performance. The Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee is charged to your account each month in arrears. If
your account is open for part of a month, then your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models Fee will be based on the number of days
your account was open and invested in the market. The amount
you pay is determined by the average daily market value of the
assets held in your account for the previous month.
Reducing, up to and including a waiver, the Program Fee and/or
Platform Fee is at the sole discretion of Edward Jones and may
result in clients being charged differently for the same or similar
services.
SMA Manager Fees: SMA Managers generally charge a fee for
the development and maintenance of their SMA(s). Such fee is
separate and apart from the Program Fee and Platform Fee and
is referred to as the SMA Manager Fee. The annual SMA
Manager Fee rates vary by SMA Manager. For affiliated SMAs
available in this Program, which is when we serve as the
Affiliated Manager, there is no SMA Manager Fee charged by us
Pricing Groups
To determine your Program Fee rate and Platform Fee rate, your
account may be grouped with your other Edward Jones advisory
accounts or the Edward Jones advisory accounts of people
related to or close to you who meet the criteria below that are
held in the same Edward Jones branch in what we refer to as a
Pricing Group. Each account can only be in one Pricing Group,
and we will disclose to you the accounts making up your Pricing
Group upon request.

mutual funds.
to you. For the unaffiliated SMAs available in this Program, the
Unaffiliated Managers of these SMAs generally charge an annual
SMA Manager Fee rate that ranges from 0.10% to 0.40%. The
exact SMA Manager Fee rates depend on the SMA of the
Unaffiliated Manager(s) included in your account. There is no
SMA Manager Fee assessed on investments in mutual funds and
ETFs held outside an SMA. For SMAs managed or recommended
by Unaffiliated Managers, you pay the associated SMA Manager
Fees to Edward Jones, and Edward Jones remits those fees
directly to the applicable Unaffiliated Managers.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund: JFC directly owns 100% of
Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), the
adviser of the Edward Jones Money Market Fund. Olive Street,
and its affiliate, Edward Jones, receive various revenues related
to assets in the Fund (collectively, “Money Market Revenue”).
Appendix A includes a detailed discussion of our Money Market
Revenue. For any account investing in the Edward Jones Money
Market Fund, Edward Jones or an affiliate will apply a fee offset
against the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee equal to the
amount of the Money Market Revenue received by Edward Jones
or an affiliate, with respect to such account.
Potential Fee Reductions or Offsets to the
Program Fee
Depending on certain factors, you may be eligible to receive fee
reductions or offsets to your Program Fee, as described below.
Fee Reductions
If your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account is funded from an
Edward Jones account that incurred commissions or redemption
fees within a preceding period, as established by Edward Jones,
the Program Fee may be reduced for up to twenty-four (24) full
months in which the account is active in Advisory Solutions UMA
Models. The amount of the fee reduction will depend on the type
of security held, timing of trade activity for the security or other
characteristics of the account activity in the previous Edward
Jones account. Ask your financial advisor for additional
information about potential fee reductions. Any fee reductions will
be applied in accordance with policies established by Edward
Jones, which may be amended from time to time. If you close
your account in Advisory Solutions UMA Models before receiving
the entire fee reduction, you will not receive any of the remaining
fee reduction that may have been available for your account. If
you are selling securities to invest in Advisory Solutions UMA
Models but did not purchase them through Edward Jones, you
will not receive a fee reduction.
How the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee
Is Paid
The Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee is deducted directly
from your account and paid using the cash portion of your
account or assets that may be invested in such money market
fund, excluding the unaffiliated money market fund used in the
Alternative Investment Services Pilot. If there is not sufficient
cash or assets in such money market fund, Edward Jones or the
Overlay Manager is authorized to sell a sufficient amount of
assets, excluding the assets that are part of the Alternative
Investment Services Pilot, to pay the Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee. If Edward Jones sells these assets, this may trigger
a rebalance of your account. Such transactions will be effected
without regard to tax consequences. You may have to pay
redemption fees to a fund company if those shares were held
only for a short time. (See below for more information on
redemption fees.) Trades as a result of a liquidation of an Eligible
Investment in a taxable account may result in a taxable event. At
the sole discretion of Edward Jones, you may be allowed to pay
your Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee from an alternate
Edward Jones account.
Fee Offsets
Rule 12b-1 Fees: Some mutual fund companies or their affiliates
pay Edward Jones Rule 12b-1 fees for distribution and marketing
expenses. This creates a conflict of interest. In order to eliminate
this conflict of interest, if we receive Rule 12b-1 fees for the
shares in your account, we will credit the amount received to your
account.
Internal Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds and
ETFs, Including Redemption Fees
Each mutual fund (including affiliated mutual funds, if any) and
ETF has internal management fees and ongoing expenses that
are deducted from the mutual fund’s or ETF’s assets, which has
the effect of reducing the net asset value (“NAV”) of the mutual
fund or ETF. Many mutual funds available in Advisory Solutions
UMA Models have different share classes with different fees and
expenses. The Fund prospectus and other fund documents will
describe the internal fees and expenses. Please refer to Item 6
below for more information regarding the selection of mutual
funds and ETFs for Advisory Solutions UMA Models.
Shareholder Accounting Revenue: Some mutual fund
companies pay Edward Jones for account recordkeeping and
administrative services provided by Edward Jones for the mutual
fund companies. This creates a conflict of interest. In order to
eliminate this conflict of interest, if we receive shareholder
accounting fees for the shares in your account, we will credit the
amount received to your account.
Internal fees and expenses are in addition to the Advisory
Solutions UMA Models Fee described above and vary depending
on the particular mutual fund or ETF. You will not see a separate
entry on your account statement showing these fees and
expenses.
Affiliated Mutual Funds: If your account invests in affiliated
mutual funds, the investment adviser to the mutual funds will be
an affiliate of Edward Jones. Affiliated mutual funds, other than
the Edward Jones Money Market Fund, consist of Bridge Builder
Funds and will be sub-advised by multiple sub-advisers who are
unaffiliated with Edward Jones. Refer to Appendix A which
Certain mutual funds may also impose redemption fees if shares
of the mutual fund are held for only a short time (typically
anywhere from less than thirty (30) days to twelve (12) months).
Page 16 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

The Fund prospectus and other fund documents describe
whether the mutual fund has a redemption fee and whether there
are instances when the redemption fees will be waived.
changes in widely referenced interbank lending rates, such as
Fed Funds Effective Rate, Fed Funds Target Rate and Secured
Overnight Financing Rate. Under these arrangements, banks
may pay interest based on a spread to one of these rates or may
pay a fixed interest rate.
Any internal fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and
ETFs held in your account will reduce your account’s overall
returns and investment performance.
Internal Fees and Expenses of Alternative
Investments, Including Redemption Fees
The fee structures for Alternative Investments differ from other
Eligible Investments and have the potential for significant
management fees or other costs, which could raise the overall
expense of investing in an Alternative Investment.
Financial Advisor Compensation
Most financial advisors receive a portion of the Program Fee,
though some financial advisors receive a salary in addition to, or
in lieu of, the Program Fee. Financial advisors who receive a
portion of the Program Fee have a financial incentive not to
negotiate the Program Fee. The portion of the Program Fee paid
to your financial advisor is at the discretion of Edward Jones. The
fee rate paid to your financial advisor will be the same regardless
of the model in which you invest. As a result, your financial
advisor does not have a financial incentive to recommend one
model over another.
Certain Alternative Investments may impose an early redemption
fee that is directly charged to you and debited from your account
should you sell out of the Alternative Investment during an initial
period of time set by the asset manager. Additionally, an
Alternative Investment may impose internal fees that result in
reduced returns and investment value to you.
The fees associated with an Alternative Investment, including any
early redemption fees that may be charged to you, are disclosed
in the applicable Alternative Investment’s Offering Documents.
Similarly, the fee rate paid to your financial advisor will be the
same regardless of the investment advisory program in which
you invest. As a result, your financial advisor does not have a
financial incentive to recommend Advisory Solutions UMA Models
over another investment advisory program. Your Financial
Advisor also will not receive a portion of the Platform Fee.
Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the
Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee
In addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee described
above, clients may incur other fees and expenses. You will pay
interest charges on a Reserve Line Advance, if applicable, to the
Lender, as set forth in the Reserve Line Agreement, which are
separate from, and in addition to, the Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee you pay us. The Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee
covers portfolio management and investment advice provided by
Edward Jones. You may pay for other services including, but not
limited to, fees to distribute an account pursuant to a transfer on
death agreement, estate service fees, an account transfer fee
and/or an account termination fee.
Also, the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee does not cover the
following (if applicable to your account): transfer taxes; electronic
fund, wire and other account transfer fees; foreign transactional
charges; internal fees and expenses incurred by mutual funds
(including affiliated mutual funds) or ETFs purchased for your
account, including commissions and other transaction-related
charges incurred by any such fund, even if Edward Jones or an
affiliate thereof effects these transactions for the fund; mutual
fund redemption fees and contingent deferred sales charges; and
any other charges imposed by law or otherwise agreed to by
Edward Jones and you with regard to your account.
The amount of your financial advisor’s compensation may be
more or less than what he or she would receive if you had a
brokerage account instead of an Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account. If you purchased investments through Edward Jones as
a broker-dealer, you would pay sales charges or commissions, a
portion of which would be paid to your financial advisor. A
financial advisor will typically earn more in upfront fees and
commissions when you use brokerage services. In the
alternative, a financial advisor will typically earn more over time if
you invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models. This creates a
financial incentive for your financial advisor to recommend
Advisory Solutions UMA Models instead of brokerage services.
Edward Jones will receive revenue as a result of you taking
advances under the Reserve Line, which is based on the amount
of the Reserve Line advance. The larger the amount of the
Reserve Line Advance, the more revenue Edward Jones
receives. In addition, your financial advisor may also receive
compensation in connection with a Reserve Line Advance
depending on the profitability of your financial advisor’s branch.
As a result of the foregoing, there is a material conflict of interest
between you and us in connection with the Reserve Line, which
we address through disclosure in this Brochure and which you
are deemed to consent to by taking a Reserve Line Advance. For
example, if you take out or maintain a Reserve Line Advance
rather than withdraw money from your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account, we retain the Advisory Solutions UMA Models
Fee that such assets are otherwise generating and receive
revenue from the Lender. The Lender also receives revenue in
the form of interest payable on the Reserve Line Advance.
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
account but not yet invested into Advisory Solutions UMA Models
may earn interest that will be retained by Edward Jones. Edward
Jones may also earn and retain interest on distributions
requested from your account until the time the check is cashed or
another payment method is completed. The average overnight
interest rate on these deposits may fluctuate daily and is tied to
Depending on your specific circumstances, including the intended
duration of the advance under the Reserve Line and the return
on your account, over the long term it may cost you more to take
Page 17 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

than purchasing these services separately, depending on the
costs of the services if provided separately, the size of your
account, the amount of cash in your account, and the trading
activity in your account and the corresponding brokerage
commissions that would be charged if you bought and sold
individual securities in a brokerage account.
out the Reserve Line Advance than if you had pursued an
alternative financing option or liquidated securities and withdrawn
the sale proceeds from your account. You are responsible for
determining whether a Reserve Line is appropriate for your
liquidity needs, the acceptability of the lending terms, and
potential adverse tax or other consequences for you. You are
encouraged to carefully consider the total cost of taking out an
advance under the Reserve Line, and any additional
compensation to us or your financial advisor or the Lender, when
determining to take out and/or maintain a Reserve Line Advance.
You can choose to forgo the services of Advisory Solutions UMA
Models and buy and sell securities through Edward Jones as a
broker-dealer or through other brokers or agents not affiliated
with Edward Jones (although you would not receive the benefits
of the program described in this Brochure).
We have provided you with materials that explain our brokerage
and investment advisory services, including our Client
Relationship Summary (“CRS”) brochure.
Copies are available from your financial advisor upon request of
our CRS is available at www.edwardjones.com/regbidisclosures,
as well as a copy of our educational resource the “Making Good
Choices” brochure.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types
of Clients
The Program Fee, as well as assets under care and outstanding
Reserve Line Advance balances, will impact most financial
advisors’ eligibility for a bonus and bonus amount. The Program
Fee, as well as assets under care and outstanding Reserve Line
Advance balances, will impact most financial advisors’ eligibility
for a bonus and bonus amount. The Program Fee, as well as
assets under care and client Reserve Line Advance balances
may also impact a financial advisors’ eligibility for the receipt of
certain limited partnership profits interest in The Jones Financial
Companies, L.L.L.P. (the “Profits Interest”). This eligibility to
receive bonus, bonus amounts, and/or certain Profits Interest
creates a conflict of interest in that your financial advisor has an
incentive to recommend you invest in an investment advisory
account(s).
Generally, an initial minimum investment of $300,000, $500,000 or
$1 million is required to invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models.

Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which

advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
minimum investment of $300,000; however, you are limited to
certain Account Portfolio Objectives until your Account value
meets or exceeds $500,000. This limitation may prevent you
from remaining in Advisory Solutions UMA Models if you
subsequently want to select an Account Portfolio Objective that
is not available while your Account is under $500,000.
• We offer Custom Models to certain qualifying accounts that
allow access to Alternative Investments once the Account value
meets or exceeds $300,000.
• We offer UMA Research Models and Custom Models for all
Account Portfolio Objectives at an initial minimum investment of
$500,000 or, if you invest at a lower initial minimum investment,
when your Account value meets or exceeds $500,000.
These financial incentives create a conflict between Edward
Jones’ interest, your financial advisor’s interest, and your own.
We address these conflicts of interest through disclosures you
will receive at or before the time of your financial advisor’s
recommendations to you. Additionally, financial advisors are
subject to training, supervision, regulatory requirements, and
internal policies and controls that are reasonably designed so
that clients are recommended only those products and services
that are appropriate in light of their financial circumstances.

of interest, please see the “Understanding how we are
compensated for financial services” document found at
edwardjones.com/compensation.
Portfolio Strategy Representative Compensation
Portfolio Strategy representatives receive a salary. Additionally,
these individuals may receive bonuses and profit-sharing
distributions based on the profitability of Edward Jones.
Comparing Costs, Expenses and Services
Your Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee is a fee for investment
advisory, brokerage and custody services as described above
under “The Program Fee” and the Platform Fee is a fee for
platform support services as described above under “Platform
Fee.” Advisory Solutions UMA Models may cost you more or less
Certain Research Models require an initial minimum investment
of $1 million. You can fund your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account with cash and/or securities, as long as the securities are
not considered to be an Alternative Investment that has not been
deemed an Eligible Investment in the Program and, if such
security is an Alternative Investment that Edward Jones
considers an Eligible Investment, Edward Jones has decided not
to exercise its discretion to reject the transfer in of such
Alternative Investment. If you establish your Advisory Solutions
UMA Models account or later add to your account with securities
that are not Eligible Investments, you authorize and direct
Edward Jones to liquidate or redeem those securities as promptly
as practicable without regard to tax consequences or redemption
fees that may be assessed on the liquidation or redemption of
those securities. Edward Jones will act in our capacity as a
broker-dealer, not as a fiduciary or investment adviser, in
Page 18 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
connection with such transactions and will sell those securities at
no commission. The proceeds will be invested in the Account
Portfolio Objective you selected. We will not provide advice or
guidance regarding the securities being sold to fund the Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account. Trades that occur in a taxable
account will result in a taxable event to you. Please consult with
your tax professional.
and activated you subsequently transfer in shares of mutual
funds that are current Eligible Investments but in a different share
class from the share class used in Advisory Solutions UMA
Models, these shares will be liquidated upon transfer into your
account and the funds invested in accordance with your model.
This may cause a taxable event in your account and we cannot
guarantee that you will not owe taxes as a result of the
liquidation. For more information about share classes, please
refer to the Risk of Loss section below.
If you initially transfer securities into your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account and those securities are Eligible Investments
within your Research or Custom Model, you authorize and direct
Edward Jones to: (a) convert some or all shares of current
Eligible Investments to a different share class used in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models, and/or (b) liquidate some or all shares of
current Eligible Investments. Conversions could result in higher
or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under the
previous share class and liquidations may cause a taxable event.
Liquidations depend upon factors such as the type and values of
the securities you transfer in and the type and values required by
your Research or Custom Model at the time of the transfer. Any
securities you transfer into your account that are not Eligible
Investments within your Research or Custom Model will be
liquidated and the proceeds invested as described above.
If you request a transfer of securities from your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account to another Edward Jones account
or a third-party account, you authorize Edward Jones to transfer
the mutual fund shares in-kind without converting the shares into
a different share class. In the event of a transfer of mutual funds
and/or fund share classes that cannot be held outside of your
Advisory Solutions UMA Models account, Edward Jones will: (a)
convert the mutual fund shares into a different share class before
the shares transfer; and/or, (b) liquidate the mutual fund shares
and transfer cash. Edward Jones follows the instructions of
mutual fund companies to convert the shares to a different share
class, or liquidate the shares, when transferring mutual funds.
Conversions may result in higher fees and expenses and
negatively affect investment performance and liquidations may
cause a taxable event.
The value of your account is monitored by Edward Jones. If the
value of your account, excluding any Alternative Investments you
may own in the account, falls below the initial investment
minimum, we may, in our discretion, remove your account from
Advisory Solutions UMA Models.
Mutual fund shares held in your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account may accumulate and be used to satisfy a letter of intent
(“LOI”) associated with multiple Edward Jones brokerage
accounts. However, if a brokerage account transferring into
Advisory Solutions UMA Models is the only account where the
LOI can be met, Edward Jones can terminate your LOI and sell a
portion of your position to adjust the commission paid in your
brokerage account before the transfer of your assets into
Advisory Solutions UMA Models. Assets in your Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account will not be used to pay any
adjustment(s) that apply in the event you fail to satisfy the LOI.
Edward Jones offers clients a wide range of financial services.
Advisory Solutions UMA Models may not be appropriate for every
client or every account type. Generally, Advisory Solutions UMA
Models is available only to residents or entities of the United States
and certain U.S. territories with the following types of accounts:
individual; joint; trusts; charitable organizations; corporations and
other business entities; traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs; and Benefit
Plans. Benefit Plans include owner-only 401(k) plans, Savings
Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE”) IRAs, Simplified
Employee Pension (“SEP”) IRAs, traditional IRAs linked to an
Edward Jones SEP IRA and other eligible plans.
Edward Jones can prohibit any person or entity from investing or
remaining in Advisory Solutions UMA Models for any reason,
including if we do not believe it is an appropriate investment
strategy for that person or entity. As a general rule, you should
not invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models if you want to
actively trade in mutual funds and/or ETFs or have a time horizon
shorter than three (3) years.
Affiliated mutual funds may not be held outside of your Edward
Jones investment advisory and/or brokerage account.
Accordingly, any positions in Bridge Builder funds will be
liquidated if you move from an Edward Jones advisory account to
an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or account at
another financial institution. Similarly, any position in the Edward
Jones Money Market Fund will be liquidated if you move from an
Edward Jones advisory account to an Edward Jones Select
brokerage account or account at another financial institution.
Liquidations of an affiliated mutual fund in a taxable account may
result in a taxable event.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and
Evaluation
You may add or withdraw funds from your account upon request.
Additions and withdrawals from your account may result in
Edward Jones selling or purchasing assets, excluding Alternative
Investments, in your account in accordance with the Asset
Allocation Category and Eligible Investment weighting targets set
for your Account Portfolio Objective and in a manner that
attempts to minimize variations in the Asset Allocation Category
and Eligible Investment weightings within your account.
Edward Jones performs due diligence on portfolio managers,
including the managers of affiliated SMAs, unaffiliated SMAs,
affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs, and
Alternative Investments to select and evaluate Eligible
Investments for the Program. The Eligible Investments are
If after your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account is opened

selected and evaluated by Edward Jones based on a process
tailored to the type of investment. For SMAs only certain SMAs
offered by Unaffiliated Managers are available in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models. Edward Jones supervised persons serve
as portfolio managers for Research Models in Advisory Solutions
UMA Models. See Item 4.A. above for a description of our
advisory services.
Removal. Edward Jones may remove any Eligible Investment
offered by an Unaffiliated Manager or an Unaffiliated Manager
and their entire set of associated Eligible Investments from
Advisory Solutions UMA Models for any reason. Reasons for the
removal of an Eligible Investment or the Unaffiliated Manager and
their associated Eligible Investments may include, but are not
limited to, the following:

Selection and Evaluation of SMAs. Eligible Investments
selected for Advisory Solutions UMA Models undergo a due
diligence process by Edward Jones, which, among other things,
determines whether such investment meets our objective and
subjective criteria to be included as an Eligible Investment.
investment philosophy.
If Edward Jones removes an Eligible Investment or an
Unaffiliated Manager and their associated Eligible Investments
and you are invested in a Research Model, we will select an
appropriate Eligible Investment as a replacement without giving
you any prior notice.
For affiliated SMAs and affiliated mutual funds, Edward Jones
uses a review process that is different from the other Eligible
Investments that are unaffiliated with Edward Jones when
selecting and monitoring the inclusion of these affiliated
investments in Advisory Solutions UMA Models as an Eligible
Investment. Specifically, when selecting and/or monitoring an
affiliated investment as an Eligible Investment, we use processes
that include, but are not limited to, an evaluation of the
investment process, consistency in the use of such investment
process, portfolio composition, strategies employed, reviewing
quarterly information on a strategy’s investment performance
results and risk management.
If you are invested in a Custom Model, we will, when possible,
provide you thirty (30) days’ notice and recommend an Eligible
Investment as a replacement. If you do not want to accept the
recommended replacement, you must notify Edward Jones within
30 days (or such shorter time as may be determined at the
discretion of Edward Jones) of such notice; otherwise, we will
select the replacement for your account. If you hold an Alternative
Investment in your Custom Model, read below for further
information on how we will work with you to transition or liquidate
an Alternative Investment that has been removed from the
Program as an Eligible Investment.
Alternative Investments Transition. Edward Jones will notify
you if an Alternative Investment you hold has been removed from
the Program as an Eligible Investment. You will need to instruct
Edward Jones if you want to transfer the impacted Alternative
Investment to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account, which
allows Alternative Investments transferred from an Advisory
Solutions UMA Models account to be held in this account as a
hold-eligible investment, or third-party account, or if you want to
liquidate the Alternative Investment, you will have up to two (2)
trading windows to complete such transfer(s) or sale(s).
For unaffiliated investments deemed an Eligible Investment in the
Program, Edward Jones uses a review process that starts with an
evaluation of the Unaffiliated Manager and/or their product(s) we
seek to add to Advisory Solutions UMA Models. Specifically, our
evaluation of the Unaffiliated Manager may include, but is not
limited to, an assessment of their alignment to the Edward Jones
investment philosophy, their organizational strength and stability,
and the amount of assets under their management. Edward
Jones will then further evaluate the Unaffiliated Manager’s
product including, but not limited to, assessing the established
history of investment performance, reviewing the risk taken to
achieve returns, tax characteristics, such as portfolio turnover,
and consideration, and reviewing up-to-date information on the
strategy’s investment performance results, liquidity
characteristics, or valuation methodology.
The performance or valuation is calculated by the Unaffiliated
Managers themselves or by third parties. The Unaffiliated
Manager performance information is not calculated on a uniform
and consistent basis. Neither Edward Jones nor any third party
engaged by us reviews performance information of an
Unaffiliated Manager to determine or verify its accuracy or its
compliance with presentation standards.
Once Edward Jones determines an Alternative Investment is to be
removed from the Program and has notified you of such removal,
Edward Jones will no longer act as an investment adviser and will
not be obligated to recommend any action with regard to that
removed Alternative Investment. While the value of the removed
Alternative Investment will be included in the calculation for your
Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee, you will receive a
subsequent credit for any Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee that
was charged to your account for holding this removed Alternative
Investment while it remains in your account.
After the initial evaluation and selection, Edward Jones continues
to monitor Unaffiliated Managers on a cadence appropriate to the
investment type. This ongoing monitoring may entail, but is not
limited to, updated information on the Unaffiliated Managers’
background, investment practices or performance results.
If you have not provided instructions for how Edward Jones is to
liquidate or transfer your entire Alternative Investment holding by
the conclusion of the second trading window, Edward Jones will

events would likely cause the affiliated investment adviser to select
a replacement sub-adviser, subject to the terms and conditions of
the prospectus. The affiliated investment adviser may also
reallocate the fund’s assets or change the weightings among the
remaining sub-advisers at its discretion. The affiliated investment
adviser and the affiliated mutual funds have received an exemptive
order from the SEC that allows sub-advisers to be appointed
without a vote of the shareholders of the affiliated mutual fund.
Update Pending Status. Edward Jones can place an Eligible
Investment (other than an affiliated mutual fund) on “Update
Pending” status. Update Pending is an interim status indicating
there is some type of important news or issue involving the Eligible
Investment. Once the significance of the news or issue is
assessed, we will remove the Update Pending status and either:
(1) keep the Eligible Investment on the list of Eligible Investments,
or (2) remove the Eligible Investment from the list of Eligible
Investments. You will not be notified that an Eligible Investment is
in Update Pending status, and your account will continue to hold
the Eligible Investment through the Update Pending period. This
process will not apply to affiliated mutual funds.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
Mutual Funds and ETFs. Edward Jones starts with the universe
of applicable investments and uses numerous quantitative
(investment history, past performance, portfolio analysis of the
individual holdings in the mutual fund, etc.) and qualitative
(investment strategy, process, personnel, etc.) factors in selecting
and monitoring Eligible Investments. The selection and
monitoring processes take into consideration a variety of factors,
each of which may be given different weight in the decision-
making process, and generally no one factor determines the
outcome of any selection.
The processes we use to select and monitor affiliated mutual
funds are different from the processes we apply to
unaffiliated mutual funds and other Eligible Investments.
Risk of Loss
All investment strategies and investments involve risk, and the
value of your account will fluctuate. As a result, your account may
be worth more or less than the amount of money you invested.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and there is
no guarantee that your Account Portfolio Objective or Goal
Portfolio Objective (if applicable) will be achieved.
Each Eligible Investment will also fluctuate in value and, when
sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost to
purchase. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect
against loss. You should consider the investment objectives,
strategies, risks, fees and expenses, and past performance of
each Eligible Investment before deciding to invest in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models.
In selecting and monitoring sub-advisers for our affiliated mutual
funds, the investment adviser, which is affiliated with Edward
Jones, follows a process that is similar, but not identical, to the
process that we use to evaluate unaffiliated mutual funds and
other Eligible Investments. This process includes quantitative and
qualitative analysis, including, but not limited to, an evaluation of
the investment process, consistency, portfolio composition,
strategies employed, risk management, team depth, quality and
experience, operations and compliance of the sub-adviser. The
evaluation process includes review of literature and documents,
quantitative historical performance evaluation and discussions
with members of the investment team and Edward Jones
management. None of the sub-advisers are affiliated with Edward
Jones.
Edward Jones continually reviews Eligible Investments (other
than affiliated mutual funds) to ensure they remain suitable for
Advisory Solutions. An Eligible Investment can be removed from
Advisory Solutions for a variety of reasons, including, but not
limited to, the following:
• A significant change to a fund’s investment team
• A major shift in the fund’s investment process
• A drift away from a fund’s stated investment style
• An alternate Eligible Investment that has been identified within
the same Asset Allocation Category
• A change in Edward Jones’ guidance and/or outlook
• A decision by Edward Jones to reduce our ownership level of
a fund
Affiliated mutual funds generally will not be removed from the list of
Eligible Investments. However, as multi-manager funds, the above
Set forth below are some of the material risk factors that are often
associated with the general types of investments available to
clients investing in Advisory Solutions UMA Models. You should
not rely solely on the descriptions provided below but should also
read the ADV Part 2A Brochures and Part 3 Client Relationship
Summaries of the Overlay Manager and the Executing SMA
Managers, which include additional and more detailed risk
disclosure about their investment strategies and available
investments, which may include equity securities (including large
cap, mid cap and small cap), preferred stock, fixed-income
securities, government securities, municipal securities, foreign
securities, emerging-market securities, mutual funds, ETFs and
money market funds. In addition, certain SMAs may invest in
master limited partnerships, real estate investment trusts and
derivatives, including, but not limited to, options, future
contracts, and interest rate swaps. This list of investments
available through SMAs is not meant to be exhaustive, and you
are encouraged to read your Executing SMA Manager’s
brochure for more information. The brochures can be
found on Edward Jones’ website at
www.edwardjones.com/advisory-prospectus/brochures.html

or you can ask your financial advisor for a copy.
Class A shares are selected in Advisory Solutions UMA Models,
the upfront sales charges are generally waived, but the Class A
shares are still charged the ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees. As
described in Item 4 above, if we receive Rule 12b-1 fees for
shares held in your account, we will credit the amount received to
your account as a fee offset.
Please refer to the appropriate prospectus and SAI for more
information regarding the available share classes of mutual funds
used in Advisory Solutions UMA Models. In our sole discretion,
Edward Jones can change the share class of any Eligible
Investment at any time without prior notice to you.
Implementing an ESG or values-based investing approach, which
helps align your portfolio with your personal values by excluding
certain investments or targeting issues that are important to you,
has potential risks and trade-offs. Such investments may value
non-financial goals more than financial returns. Additionally, while
segments of the market or investments that engage in certain
business practices can be excluded with an ESG or values-based
investing approach, introducing such exclusions or focusing on a
narrow area of the market can decrease your portfolio’s
diversification and materially impact its risk and return. Companies
also may not operate as expected or fail to meet the desired ESG
or value-based characteristics over time.
Mutual Funds Risk. Mutual funds are diversified, professionally
managed portfolios of securities that pool the assets of
individuals and organizations to invest toward a common
objective such as current income or long-term growth. Mutual
funds are subject to investment advisory, transactional, operating
and other expenses. Each mutual fund is subject to specific risks
depending on its investments and investment strategy. The value
Redemptions from Eligible Investments. Edward Jones’ clients
collectively own a large percentage of certain mutual funds that
are Eligible Investments. Due to the significant ownership, there
may be adverse consequences in the event that Edward Jones,
as the investment adviser, removes a mutual fund from the list of
Eligible Investments. If the volume or size of redemptions
required to be affected as a result of the removal of a mutual fund
from the list of Eligible Investments exceeds the limits set forth in
the mutual fund’s policies and procedures, the resulting delay in
effecting redemptions may result in accounts experiencing
increased risk of loss. A mutual fund company can also decide to
redeem shares “in-kind” instead of in cash. In that event, you may
receive the actual underlying securities of the fund. The
underlying securities could lose value before they are sold.
Brokerage and other transaction costs will apply to the sale of the
underlying securities. We will work with the mutual fund company
to reduce the likelihood of an in-kind redemption and will take
steps to minimize potential adverse consequences to you, but
there is no assurance that you will be able to avoid the risk of
loss and other adverse consequences.
of mutual funds’ investments and the NAV of the funds’ shares
will fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic
conditions, as well as the financial condition and prospects of
companies and other investments in which the funds invest. The
performance of a mutual fund will depend on whether the fund’s
investment adviser is successful in pursuing the fund’s
investment strategy. Mutual funds that use ESG or values-based
strategies may forgo certain investment opportunities available to
strategies that do not use such criteria and therefore create a risk
of underperforming when compared against other strategies. The
Fund prospectus and the other fund documents describe the
risks specific to the fund.
ETFs Risk. ETFs are typically registered investment companies
whose shares are listed on a securities exchange. An investment
in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an
investment in a conventional mutual fund (i.e., one that is not
exchange-traded) that has the same investment objective,
strategies and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate within a
wide range, gaining or losing value throughout the day. ETF
performance may vary from that of its benchmark or its peers.
Share Classes. Unaffiliated mutual funds used in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models can have different share classes. While
each share class invests in the same pool of investments and has
the same investment objective, each has different internal fees and
expenses. Mutual funds often permit the conversion of shares from
one class to another, subject to certain conditions as determined
by the mutual fund.
Edward Jones considers several factors when selecting a mutual
fund share class for Advisory Solutions UMA Models, including,
but not limited to, the eligibility criteria set by mutual fund
companies and the overall cost structure of the share class.
Clients should not assume they will be invested in the share class
with the lowest expense ratio.
Like mutual funds, ETFs are subject to investment advisory,
transactional, operating and other expenses. Unlike mutual
funds, shares of ETFs cannot be directly purchased from and
redeemed by the fund. ETFs that use ESG or values-based
strategies may forgo certain investment opportunities available to
strategies that do not use such criteria and therefore create a risk
of underperforming when compared against other strategies.
Each Fund’s prospectus and other fund documents describe the
risks specific to the fund.
Edward Jones generally attempts to select institutional and/or
advisory share classes for Advisory Solutions UMA Models, when
available. Institutional and/or advisory shares generally do not
impose a sales charge or ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees and, as a
result, are usually less expensive than Class A shares.
Equity Securities Risk. Common stocks and other equity
securities generally increase or decrease in value based on the
earnings of a company and on general industry and market
conditions. The value of a company’s share price may decline as
a result of poor decisions made by management, lower demand
for the company’s services or products, or if the company’s
revenues fall short of expectations. There are also risks
Other share classes, including Class A, may be utilized when no
institutional or advisory share classes are available. Class A
shares are typically purchased in brokerage accounts and usually
carry an upfront sales charge and ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees. If
Page 22 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
Investment and/or may impose an early redemption fee based on
a percentage of the Alternative Investment’s net asset value.
Further, there may be restrictions on transferring interests in the
Alternative Investment.
Investing Limits. Depending on the Alternative Investment, your
purchase amount may be limited by regulations and the
Alternative Investment’s Offering Documents. These limits are
determined, in part, by aggregating Alternative Investments you
currently hold at Edward Jones, as well as Alternative
Investments you hold outside of Edward Jones.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock is a class of capital stock
that typically pays dividends at a specified rate. Preferred stock is
generally senior to common stock but subordinate to debt
securities with respect to the payment of dividends and on
liquidation of the issuer. While subject to the same risks affecting
equity securities generally, the market value of preferred stock
also generally decreases when interest rates rise (interest rate
risk) and is also affected by the issuer’s ability to make payments
on the preferred stock (credit risk).
Valuation/Tax Related Information. The lack of a secondary
market or listing on a public exchange and the potential that
underlying assets may be valued only periodically means daily
pricing of the Alternative Investment may be unavailable and that
valuations that are provided may not be current or accurate.
Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities, such as
bonds, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk
is the possibility that an issuer of an instrument will be unable to
make interest payments or repay principal when due. Changes in
the financial strength of an issuer or changes in the credit rating
of a security may affect its value. Interest rate risk is the risk that
interest rates may increase, which tends to reduce the resale
value of certain fixed-income securities.
Leverage. Alternative Investments are not suitable for all
investors. The use of leverage may increase the risk of the
investment and potentially lead to significant loss of principal. You
should consider your ability to hold the Alternative Investment
through various market conditions, especially given the limited
liquidity of Alternative Investments.
Municipal Securities Risk. Municipal securities are subject to
various risks based on factors such as economic and regulatory
developments, changes or proposed changes in the federal and
state tax structure, deregulation, court rulings and other factors.
Repayment of municipal securities depends on the ability of the
issuer or project backing such securities to generate taxes or
revenues. There is a risk that the interest on an otherwise tax-
exempt municipal security may be subject to federal income tax.
Return Smoothing. Certain illiquid investments such as equity
ownership in private companies or real estate are not valued
daily. Rather, pricing of such investments is typically done
through periodic estimated valuations. As a result, reported
returns of an Alternative Investment holding illiquid investments
may appear to have an appearance of lower risk or less volatility
than traditional investments that are valued daily.
Risk of loss. An Alternative Investment has a high degree of risk
and there is a risk of the complete loss of your investment. All or
a substantial portion of the value of an Alternative Investment
may be lost due to potential lack of diversification, use of
leverage or other speculative strategies.
Government Securities Risk. U.S. government securities are
subject to interest rate and inflation risks. Not all U.S. government
securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government. Certain securities issued by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. government are only insured or
guaranteed by the issuing agency or instrumentality, which must
rely on its own resources to repay the debt. As a result, there is
risk that these entities will default on a financial obligation.
Fees. Fee structures for Alternative Investments differ from
traditional investments and include the potential of significant
management fees and other costs, raising the overall expense of
the investment.
Money Market Funds Risk. Money market funds are a type of
mutual fund that invests in high-quality, short-term debt securities,
pays dividends that generally reflect short-term interest rates and
seeks to maintain a stable NAV per share (typically $1). An
investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although a money market fund is managed to
maintain a stable NAV of $1 per share, the value of the fund may
fluctuate, and you could lose money.
Alternative Investments Risk. Alternative Investments have
unique and different risks than other investments, including:
Foreign Investing Risk. Investments in foreign markets or foreign
companies may be achieved through investments in securities of
foreign issuers, ETFs or mutual funds that hold securities of foreign
issuers, or ADRs, which are receipts typically issued by a U.S.
bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying
securities of a foreign company. Investments in foreign markets or
foreign companies carry a number of economic, financial and
political considerations that are not associated with the U.S.
markets and that could unfavorably affect your account’s
performance. Among those risks are greater price volatility; weak
supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and
issuers; higher brokerage costs; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates and related conversion costs; adverse tax
consequences; and settlement delays.
Tax-Efficient Management Risk. In managing your taxable
account in a tax-efficient manner, the Overlay Manager relies on
Limited Liquidity and Redemption. The Alternative Investments
available in the Program are not listed on any securities
exchange and there may be no secondary market for the
Alternative Investment, meaning you may have no access to the
money you’ve invested or to any potential profits, sometimes for
a period of years. The asset manager of the Alternative
Investment may limit or restrict opportunities for redemption,
including declining to redeem all or a portion of an Alternative
Page 23 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
various assumptions about the tax posture of a typical investor.
Those assumptions may not correspond to your actual situation. In
addition, the Overlay Manager only considers securities held in
your account (independently of other accounts). Securities outside
of your account will not be considered, including securities held in
other Advisory Solutions UMA Models accounts. You are
responsible for monitoring all accounts under your (and your
spouse’s) control, held at or outside of Edward Jones, to ensure
that transactions in your account do not create a wash sale.
A wash sale may occur if you and/or your spouse buy (directly or
indirectly through any account under the control of you and/or
your spouse) any security (or a substantially identical security)
within 30 days before or after the Overlay Manager sells that
same security. In that case, the loss may be deferred or
disallowed. Neither the Overlay Manager nor Edward Jones can
provide any assurances that wash sales will not occur. In some
cases, the Overlay Manager may execute a trade for non-tax
reasons that will generate a wash sale when it deems this in the
best interest of the client. You are responsible for identifying and
reporting any wash sales properly on your tax return. For more
information on the wash sale rules, please read Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”) Publication 550 and consult your tax professional.
The effectiveness of tax-efficient offered by the Overlay Manager
for the Eligible Investments they manage, including through such
methods as tax loss harvesting, in reducing your overall tax
liability will depend on your entire tax and investment profile.
Consult your tax professional regarding your situation, your
requirements to the IRS or any other taxing authority, along with
any potential tax consequences. Edward Jones assumes no
responsibility for the tax consequences of any transaction,
including any capital gains and/or wash sales that may result.
For more information about tax-efficient management, including
tax loss harvesting, see the Overlay Manager’s Form ADV
brochure available at www.edwardjones.com/advisory-
prospectus/brochures.html.
and education regarding the availability of the Reserve Line.
However, you decide whether to take Reserve Line Advances
and you decide when and how to pay back any such advances.
There are certain risks and conflicts of interest that arise when
you take a Reserve Line Advance, including (i) the interest rate
charged by the Lender in connection with the Reserve Line
Advance may be higher than those charged by other lenders for
financing and is in addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA Models
Fee; (ii) the Lender is permitted to modify its collateral
maintenance requirements at any time and without providing
advance written notice to you; (iii) the Lender may require
additional collateral or that you repay all or a portion of a Reserve
Line Advance if there is a decline in the market value of the
securities in the account that was pledged as collateral for the
Obligations under the Reserve Line; (iv) the Lender can instruct
us to liquidate any and all of the securities in your pledged
account to satisfy a Maintenance Call without notice to you (even
if the Lender has already notified you and provided a date by
which you can meet a Maintenance Call); (v) you are not entitled
to an extension of time on a Maintenance Call; (vi) to satisfy a
Maintenance Call, Lender may instruct us to liquidate any or all of
the securities in a pledged account that we would otherwise not
recommend you sell and that may not otherwise be in your best
interest to sell; (vii) liquidation of securities to satisfy a
Maintenance Call could result in your account being out of
alignment with your portfolio objective and result in other securities
being sold to bring your account back into alignment with your
Account Portfolio Objective; (viii) the liquidation of securities to
satisfy a Maintenance Call could have adverse tax consequences
to you; (ix) you are not entitled to select which securities in a
pledged account are liquidated to satisfy a Maintenance Call and
Lender can instruct us to liquidate securities that you wish to retain
or that have a low tax basis without regard to your wishes or any
adverse tax consequences; (x) depending on market conditions,
the prices obtained for the liquidated securities may be less than
favorable and may be less than the value that we or you believe
the securities are worth and may negatively impact the
performance of your account and interrupt your investment
strategy; (xi) the timing of securities sales in connection with a
Maintenance Call will be different than of I if those securities were
not used as collateral in connection with the Reserve Line; (xii) a
situation could arise where the value of your account is zero and
you still owe money on a Reserve Line Advance; (xiii) we will act
as a broker-dealer, and not as an investment adviser, in connection
with a Maintenance Call (and our lending affiliate will act as a
lender), which may be in conflict with your best interest and our
role as an investment adviser to your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account; and (xiv) you will still be responsible for any
deficiency if the value of the assets liquidated is insufficient to
satisfy your obligations to the Lender under the Reserve Line.
Please see the Reserve Line Agreement for a discussion of risks
related to utilizing the Reserve Line. Any action taken by us in
connection with a Maintenance Call will not constitute a breach of
our fiduciary duties as an investment adviser.
Multi-Year Transition Service Risks. In addition to the tax-
efficient management and other risks identified in this Risk of
Loss section, clients participating in the Multi-Year Transition
Service must acknowledge and accept that their investment
allocation, risk exposure and account performance during the
Transition Period will differ from the target investment allocation,
risk exposure and account performance that could have been
achieved upon the prompt sale of such assets upon funding as a
result of effecting the sale of transitioned assets over time. The
delayed sale of such assets creates risks during the Transition
Period of misalignment of the client’s Custom Model account with
their target asset allocation as well as increased tracking error
and volatility. There is also no guarantee that participating clients
will benefit as anticipated from the Multi-Year Transition Service,
including, but not limited to, the potential benefits of spreading
capital gains over multiple tax years. Additionally, clients enrolled
in the Multi-Year Transition Service may still owe taxes as a result
of participating in the Multi-Year Transition Service.

a variety of protections designed to protect against damage or
interruption from computer viruses, network and computer
failures and cyberattacks. Despite such protections, systems,
networks and devices potentially can be breached. Cyberattacks
include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to
digital systems for purposes of corrupting data or causing
operational disruption, as well as denial-of-service attacks on
websites. Cyber incidents may cause disruptions and impact
business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the
inability of Edward Jones or service providers to trade, violations
of privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, reputational damage,
reimbursement costs and additional compliance costs, as well as
the inadvertent release of confidential information.
Economic Conditions Risk. Economic, political and financial
trends and developments may, from time to time, result in periods
of volatility or other potentially adverse effects that could negatively
impact your account. Domestic and international markets, including
sectors and companies within those markets, may respond in
significant and unforeseen ways to matters such as public health
issues, geopolitical events, natural disasters and social unrest.
Those matters, as well as others not listed here, may increase the
risk to your account’s performance and cause losses.
Legal Notices
Edward Jones will not take any action or render any advice
regarding any legal action on your behalf relating to any Eligible
Investments or other assets held in your account (including
shares of the Money Market Fund) that may become subject to
any legal action, regulatory action, administrative action,
bankruptcy, and/or class action lawsuit other than the Class
Action Claim Filing service described in this brochure and the
CSA. However, Edward Jones will promptly forward any such
documents to you, or if you are enrolled in the Class Action Claim
Filing service, Edward Jones will execute such service as
described in this brochure and the CSA.

advisory services to you and how you can impose reasonable
restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to
Portfolio Managers
Wrap Fee Programs
We act as both the wrap fee program sponsor and the portfolio
manager in Research Models described in this Brochure. We
receive the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee as described in
Item 4. We also act as both the wrap fee program sponsor and
the portfolio manager in Research Models described in the
Advisory Solutions Fund Models Brochure.
Edward Jones does not provide client information to Unaffiliated
Managers who are not authorized to execute transactions for the
account. We will provide client information to the Overlay
Manager and to Executing SMA Managers who are authorized to
execute transactions to the extent necessary for the Overlay
Manager or Executing SMA Managers to manage the account
(or any portion thereof).
We also act as an investment adviser in other advisory programs
where we provide different services. Additional information is
available at www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures.
Similarly, Edward Jones does not provide client information to a
transfer agent or asset manager of an Alternative Investment who
have not been selected, reviewed, and approved for inclusion in
the Program.
Over time, your financial goals and objectives may change.
Accordingly, you and your financial advisor must perform an
annual review, as set forth in Item 9.B. below. We will provide
updated investment objective information to the Overlay Manager
and/or applicable Executing SMA Manager(s) as necessary to
continue managing your account.
Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
You may contact your Edward Jones financial advisor or, as
applicable, Portfolio Strategy representative during normal
business hours with questions regarding your account, including
questions regarding an SMA or Alternative Investment. You
cannot directly contact the Overlay Manager, SMA Managers, the
sub- advisers of the affiliated mutual funds, or asset manager or
transfer agent of an Alternative Investment. If you have a
Proxy Voting
In Advisory Solutions UMA Models, Edward Jones does not vote
proxies for clients. The Overlay Manager will vote any proxies
received for the Eligible Investments they manage in accordance

reasonably designed to ensure that they vote securities in the best
interest of clients. You cannot retain the right to vote proxies
yourself or direct or recommend how the Overlay Manager or
Executing SMA Manager should cast any particular vote. The
Overlay Manager endeavors to vote proxies in accordance with the
best economic interest of its clients and similarly to resolve any
conflicts of interest exclusively in the best economic interests of the
clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest, the Overlay
Manager has contracted with an independent third-party service
provider to vote proxies in accordance with instructions and
guidelines provided or approved by the Overlay Manager. You
should review the Overlay Manager’s and each Executing SMA

considering revenue sharing from existing business relationships
when selecting Eligible Investments and/or sub-advisers.
Similarly, no affiliated investment adviser considers such
business relationships or revenue sharing in recommending to
the board of trustees of any affiliated mutual fund that a sub-
adviser be selected to manage the affiliated mutual funds.
For more information regarding revenue sharing, please visit
www.edwardjones.com/disclosures or request a revenue sharing
disclosure document from your Edward Jones financial advisor.
Edward Jones does not receive revenue sharing on assets held
in Advisory Solutions UMA Models accounts. Edward Jones and
our financial advisors also receive compensation for services and

Multistate Supervision Investigation. As announced by the
North American Securities Administrators Association (“NASAA”)
on January 8, 2025, a coordinated investigation into Edward
Jones’ supervision of financial advisors who serviced brokerage
customers who hired the firm’s investment adviser to manage
some or all of the customers’ securities investments during the
period of approximately July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018 (the
“Investigation”) has been conducted by a multistate task force,
coordinated among members of the NASAA, with Texas and
Montana serving as the lead states for the other 48 states and 3
U.S. territories participating in the Investigation (together the
“Investigation Participants”). Specifically, the Investigation
focused on whether Edward Jones had reasonably designed
procedures to precisely apply the holding period of a Class A
share mutual fund purchase relative to the fee offsets provided
when brokerage clients holding these security types transferred
to an Edward Jones advisory offering. Without admitting or
denying the findings of facts or conclusions of law set forth in the
orders issued by each Investigation Participant, Edward Jones
agreed to pay each Investigation Participant $320,754.72 in
administrative monetary fines, as well as an additional $15,000 in
costs to certain states, that resulted in a total monetary fine of
$17.25 million.
In our capacity as a broker-dealer, Edward Jones performs
research and distributes recommendations to buy, sell or hold the
equity securities of asset management companies or financial
institutions with asset management affiliates that participate in
Advisory Solutions UMA Models. In order to preserve the
independence of this process and to address any conflicts of
interest, we have adopted a policy under which we do not
consider our opinion on equity securities of asset management
companies or financial institutions in selecting the SMAs or
mutual funds that are designated as Eligible Investments.
Similarly, the affiliated investment adviser does not consider
Edward Jones’ opinion on equity securities of asset management
companies or financial institutions when recommending sub-
advisers to the board of trustees of an affiliated mutual fund.
The following summarizes Edward Jones’ material relationships
or arrangements with other entities that participate in the financial
industry.
Edward Jones, the primary operating subsidiary of JFC, is dually
registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and broker-
dealer, and is a member of FINRA.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
You should be aware that Edward Jones, our affiliates and our
financial advisors perform services for you and other clients
outside of Advisory Solutions UMA Models, including the
execution of brokerage transactions (e.g., the purchase or sale of
securities, insurance products), research, the retail distribution of
securities (e.g., mutual funds), the participation in principal
transactions and certain underwritings and other investment
advisory services. Edward Jones and our affiliates receive
compensation, including fees and commissions, associated with
these services. We have a financial interest in our clients’
transactions and the recommendations we make to clients to buy
or sell securities or investment products.
Olive Street, a wholly owned subsidiary of JFC, is registered as
an investment adviser with the SEC and serves as the
investment adviser of the affiliated mutual funds. Certain current
or former associates of Edward Jones serve as officers or
directors/trustees of the affiliated investment adviser and/or the
affiliated mutual funds. Appendix A contains a detailed discussion
of our affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds.
Edward Jones, an Ontario limited partnership (Edward Jones in
Canada), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of JFC, is a
broker-dealer registered with the Canadian Investment
Regulatory Organization.
EJTC, a wholly owned subsidiary of JFC, is a federally chartered
savings and loan association that offers personal trust and
investment management services. EJTC also acts as custodian
for certain traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs that are participating,
or have participated, in Advisory Solutions UMA Models and other
Edward Jones programs. For additional information about this
arrangement, please see Item 4.
Edward Jones owns directly or indirectly 100% of three insurance
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families or sub-
advisers that also provide products or services in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models. Edward Jones receives revenue sharing
payments from certain unaffiliated mutual fund families on client
assets held outside of Edward Jones’ advisory programs.
“Revenue sharing” generally means a mutual fund family shares
with another company, like Edward Jones, a portion of the
revenue it earns through managing mutual fund assets. Edward
Jones’ receipt of revenue sharing outside of advisory programs
creates a conflict of interest in the form of additional financial
benefits to us, our financial advisors and equity owners. We
believe that this conflict of interest is mitigated through internal
policies designed to prevent Edward Jones, in our capacity as
investment adviser, and any affiliated investment adviser, from

agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New

business as a broker-dealer and are separate from our
investment advisory services. There are times when we act as
principal, which means we participate in client transactions by
buying securities for our own inventory and selling those
securities to our clients. To the extent conflicts arise under such
transactions, Edward Jones is nevertheless obligated to execute
any such transaction in the manner it believes is in the client’s
best interest.
JFC indirectly owns 100% of two insurance agencies that
conduct general insurance-related activities in Canada: Edward
Jones Insurance Agency (Quebec) Inc., a Canadian corporation;
and Edward Jones Insurance Agency, an Ontario, Canada,
limited partnership.
Edward Jones owns 7% of Customer Account Protection
Company Holdings, Inc. (CAPCO), a captive insurance group.
JFC indirectly owns 100% of EDJ Insurance Company, Inc., a
Missouri captive insurance company.
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones associates
(including those directly involved with Advisory Solutions UMA
Models) and/or their family members are permitted to and do
invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models. This practice could
create a conflict of interest if associates placing trades for their
own accounts were to place a trade before our clients and receive
a better price on a security. To address this potential conflict,
trades for financial advisors, Edward Jones associates (including
those directly involved with Advisory Solutions UMA Models) and/
or their family members are aggregated along with other trades,
which may include trades for your account.
B. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading;
Review of Accounts; Client Referrals and Other
Compensation; and Financial Information
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Edward Jones has established a Code of Ethics to ensure that
our associates:
• Act with integrity and in an ethical manner with you and all of
our clients
• Place your and all of our clients’ interests first
Edward Jones has internal supervisory reviews and procedures
to review accounts held by our associates and certain family
members and their personal trading practices. The reviews look
for improper trading activities, including trading that may be in
conflict with the best interests of a client. In addition to the Code
of Ethics and the supervisory reviews, we prohibit financial
advisors from placing trades for their personal accounts before
trades for our clients in the same security. In the event a financial
advisor’s personal order fills at a better price than a client’s order
placed close in time, we will adjust the trade so the client
receives the better price.
• Conduct personal trading in compliance with our Code of
Ethics, avoid potential conflicts of interest and make sure they
do not abuse the faith and trust you have placed in them
• Comply with all applicable rules, regulations and laws
• Do not use any material nonpublic information they may
receive as a result of their employment with Edward Jones
Review of Accounts
At the time your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account is
opened, Edward Jones’ supervisory associates will review your
selected Goal Portfolio Objective and/or Account Portfolio
Objective to confirm it is appropriate based on considerations
such as your net worth, risk tolerance, time horizon and/or
investment goals. The funding of your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account will also be reviewed. If you have sold
investments purchased at Edward Jones in order to fund the
account, the holding period of those investments will be reviewed
for appropriateness. Supervisory personnel may also call you
directly to discuss your understanding of Advisory Solutions UMA
Models, including the fees and expenses you are or will be
paying.
Some Edward Jones associates are deemed “access persons”
under our Code of Ethics because they may have access to
nonpublic information regarding either the securities in a client’s
accounts or changes to the Eligible Investments, including Asset
Allocation Categories and/or Eligible Investment weightings.
Under our Code of Ethics, access persons must receive prior
approval before acquiring a beneficial ownership interest in any
security in an initial public offering, limited offering or hedge fund
transaction. Additionally, access persons are required to submit
to the chief compliance officer, or his or her delegate, a list of any
securities they own and securities transactions they made for any
account they control at Edward Jones or another financial
institution. You may request a copy of the Edward Jones Code of
Ethics from your financial advisor.
While you are invested in Advisory Solutions UMA Models, we
provide ongoing monitoring, including an annual review. The
Asset Allocation Category, Target Ranges, and/or Eligible
Investment weightings established for your Goal Portfolio
Objective and/or Account Portfolio Objective are monitored on an
ongoing basis and rebalanced according to Edward Jones’
guidelines and the services outlined for the type of Eligible
Investment you hold in your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account. (For more information, please refer to “Client Services
Agreement and Rebalancing.”)
As a broker-dealer, there may be times when Edward Jones will
buy, sell or recommend that our brokerage clients who are not
participating in Advisory Solutions UMA Models buy securities
that are also available in Advisory Solutions UMA Models. These
brokerage activities are done in the regular course of our
Page 28 of 30 IAS-6486AC-A-E-PB REV. NOV 2025 © 2025 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

You will receive a written account statement at least quarterly
(monthly in months in which activity occurs in your account)
containing a description of all activity in your account during the
period, including all transactions, contributions, withdrawals, fees
and the value of your account at the beginning and end of the
period.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones may make and/or
maintain investments in other firms, including financial services
firms, that we utilize, in part, to deliver the service offerings of an
Edward Jones Advisory Program. Such investments in these
firms by our affiliates may influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
Our supervision and monitoring do not substitute for your own
continued review and monitoring of your account and
performance of your investments. You should review trade
confirmations (as applicable), account statements and other
information we send to you. Current and timely information about
your account will be available in Edward Jones’ online client
access system. If you have any questions, please discuss them
with your financial advisor.
Edward Jones has contracted with Broadridge Investor
Communications Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an unaffiliated
third-party vendor, to distribute proxies, periodic reports and
voting instruction information to our clients. Pursuant to the
agreement between Edward Jones and Broadridge and in
accordance with regulations, Broadridge charges the issuing
company on behalf of Edward Jones for these services. Edward
Jones receives from Broadridge a portion of the fees paid by the
issuing company.
At least annually, you and your financial advisor should discuss
any changes to your financial situation, investment objectives
and/or risk tolerance, and whether you would like to impose any
reasonable investment restrictions on your account. The review
will help determine if your Asset Allocation Category, Target
Ranges, and/or Eligible Investment weightings and/or SMA
Manager selections need to be modified.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies, ETF sponsors,
Alternative Investment asset managers, and/or SMA Managers
on the list of Eligible Investments (or their investment advisers)
may pay certain expenses on behalf of financial advisors,
including training and educational expenses, and in some
instances make payments directly to Edward Jones to subsidize
training and educational costs for financial advisors. These
companies may also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and will generally share in
the cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into
any agreement with any SMA Manager, ETF, mutual fund,
Alternative investment, or its investment adviser or its distributors
or affiliates providing for payment of such expenses as a
condition of inclusion on list of Eligible Investments or the
selection of a sub-adviser for affiliated mutual funds. Our financial
advisors are not allowed to consider an advisory product
partner’s sponsorship of a marketing activity when choosing
which Eligible Investment to suggest to you.
Financial Information
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Item 10: Requirements for State-Registered
Advisers
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
From time to time, Edward Jones and our financial advisors pay
for client referrals and potential client leads from third parties
(“paid solicitor arrangements”). The third parties providing the
referrals and leads are not affiliated with Edward Jones. The
compensation paid to third parties can include a flat-fee or
subscription fee that is not dependent on whether a referral or
lead becomes an Edward Jones client or an ongoing fee that is
stated as a percentage of the Advisory Solutions UMA Models
Fee or the fee of other advisory programs offered at Edward
Jones (collectively referred to as “Edward Jones Advisory
Program”), which is dependent upon the referral or lead
becoming a client in an Edward Jones Advisory Program. Edward
Jones enters into written agreements with such third parties
governing the paid solicitor arrangements. Paid solicitor
arrangements create a conflict of interest as the third-party has
an incentive to recommend prospects engage with an Edward
Jones financial advisor and, where the third party compensation
is dependent upon the client enrolling in an Edward Jones
Advisory Program, the third party has an incentive to recommend
the prospect enroll in an Edward Jones Advisory Program.
In addition to the paid solicitor arrangements disclosed above,
from time to time, our financial advisors receive uncompensated
referrals from other professionals or clients. Our financial
advisors also may provide uncompensated referrals to other
professionals. Other than in connection with Edward Jones
approved solicitor arrangements, Edward Jones policy prohibits
financial advisors from purchasing or providing any
compensation, cash or non-cash, directly or indirectly, in
exchange for appointments or referrals. The purchase of lists
(such as mailing or calling lists), by Edward Jones and our
financial advisors, from third parties does not involve solicitation
or referrals to Edward Jones.

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
For any Advisory Solutions UMA Models account investing in the
Money Market Fund, Edward Jones or an affiliate will apply a fee
offset equal to the amount of the Money Market Revenue received
by Edward Jones or an affiliate, with respect to such account.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund. Your Advisory Solutions
UMA Models account may from time to time be invested in
shares of the Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Money
Market Fund”), which is advised by Olive Street Investment
Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), an affiliate of Edward Jones. Olive
Street receives a management fee of 0.20% of average net
assets of the Money Market Fund, less any fees paid to its
sub-adviser.
Please review the current summary prospectus for the Money
Market Fund, which describes the investment characteristics of
the Money Market Fund and the fees paid to Olive Street by the
Money Market Fund. The prospectus also describes certain
revenue received by Edward Jones in connection with the Money
Market Fund.
The Money Market Fund declares dividends daily and pays them
monthly to shareholders. Whether a dividend is accrued for a
shareholder on a particular day is based on the Money Market
Fund’s current yield and the size of the shareholder’s investment
in the Money Market Fund. If a shareholder’s investment in the
Money Market Fund is not large enough to result in a dividend of
at least half a penny on a particular day, no dividend is accrued
for the shareholder for that day. This fraction of a penny is not
credited to the shareholder’s account nor is it aggregated with
past or future unpaid fractions of a penny when determining
whether a shareholder’s daily dividend equals at least a half
penny on a particular day. Rather, this fraction of a penny is
retained by the Money Market Fund as part of its overall fund
assets, which are used to determine the Money Market Fund’s
daily dividend calculation to all shareholders.
Bridge Builder Mutual Funds. Your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models account may from time to time be invested in shares of
the Bridge Builder Mutual Funds (“Bridge Builder Funds”), which
are also advised by Olive Street, an affiliate of Edward Jones.
Bridge Builder Funds are sub-advised by multiple sub-advisers
that are unaffiliated with us. If your account invests in a Bridge
Builder Fund, Olive Street charges the fund a management fee
which the fund pays directly to the fund’s sub-advisers. Olive
Street has entered into an agreement with each Bridge Builder
Fund to waive its management fees to the extent management
fees charged by Olive Street exceed the management fees the
fund is required to pay a fund’s sub-advisers (i.e., as a result of
its waivers, Olive Street does not receive any management fees
from a fund). The waiver agreement can only be terminated as
described in the fund’s registration statement.
Please review the current summary prospectus for each of the
relevant Bridge Builder Funds, which describes the investment
characteristics of the fund, risks of the fund, and the fees charged
by Olive Street to the fund. Certain Bridge Builder Funds are only
available in taxable accounts.
The Money Market Fund pays a Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% of
average net assets to Edward Jones for providing distribution and
shareholder services to shareholders of the Money Market Fund’s
Investment Shares and Retirement Shares, and an Administrative
Shareholder Service Fee up to 0.15% of average net assets to
Edward Jones for providing administrative services, including
banking administrative services and sweep administrative services,
to shareholders. Edward Jones provides distribution services,
shareholder services, administrative services, and transfer agent
services to the Money Market Fund and the accounts that our
clients maintain in the Money Market Fund.
