decide if you are comfortable delegating the day-to-day
management of your account. Investors in Advisory Solutions
Fund Models typically:

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® Fund Models (“Advisory
Solutions Fund Models”), the fees charged for our services and
our business practices. You should read this Brochure carefully
and consult with your tax professional before you decide to invest
in Advisory Solutions Fund Models.
fees for investments and advice rather than individual,
transaction-based commissions or sales charges
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
Fund Models may be lower or higher than if you purchased the
investments or services separately or through another broker-
dealer or investment adviser.
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.
Because Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models to you. Other services you obtain through
Edward Jones, including other investment advisory and
brokerage services, are separate and distinct from Advisory
Solutions Fund 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 Fund 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, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739 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 Fund 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 Fund Models, we will not begin
providing you advisory services until (a) our acceptance and
approval of a written Client Services Agreement (“CSA”) between
you and Edward Jones, and (b) funding of the account at the initial
minimum investment as determined by Edward Jones.
Advisory Solutions Fund Models Overview
Advisory Solutions Fund Models is a wrap fee program in which
you can combine multiple investments in a single advisory
account. Advisory Solutions Fund Models will invest in various
allocations of affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds,
Before investing in Advisory Solutions Fund Models, you should

cause a taxable event as well as redemption fees, if applicable.
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and unaffiliated money market
funds (collectively referred to as “Eligible Investment”). Certain
Eligible Investments are only available in taxable accounts.
Edward Jones selects the Eligible Investments that are available
in Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models account (your
“Account Portfolio Objective”), Advisory Solutions Fund 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.
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
of additional information (“SAI”) and shareholder reports for each
mutual fund and ETF (collectively, “Fund prospectus and other
fund documents”). It is important that you read these documents
before investing. Investment 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.
Account Portfolio Objective. In order to invest in Advisory
Solutions Fund Models, you will complete a Client Profile that
contains important information about your account, which
generally includes either your goal or purpose for investing and
your investment time horizon, risk tolerance and other financial
information.
Your account will 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.
Your time horizon will reflect the expected time frame over which
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.
Bridge Builder Funds and the Money Market Fund are affiliated
with Edward Jones. The Money Market Fund, however, is not
available to purchase as an Eligible Investment for Advisory
Solutions Fund Models. However, cash balances 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. Please refer to Appendix A for
more information about the Money Market Fund.
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”).
Your account’s asset allocation may include a cash allocation
held in the Money Market Fund through the automatic 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 may increase the amount
of cash you hold in your portfolio. The portion of your Advisory
Solutions Fund Models account that is held in the Money Market
Fund or other cash vehicles will be included in the calculation of
your Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee (defined below).
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 Fund 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.
Values-Based and Sustainable Investing. Certain available
investments may incorporate values-based or sustainable
investment strategies. Values-based investing considers a client’s
personal beliefs and values, while sustainable investing
incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
considerations. Such 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 such
investments available in Advisory Solutions Fund Models and the
associated risk.
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing
modest current interest income. Over the long term, it should
have higher risk than portfolios with a more income-oriented
objective.
We can make changes to the list of Eligible Investments at any
time and can change the amount of your money that is invested in
the different Asset Allocation Categories. We can also add and
remove Asset Allocation Categories at any time without prior
notice. These additions or removals could result in the purchase or
sale of an Eligible Investment in your account. Liquidations may
Balanced toward Growth: This portfolio objective emphasizes
higher long-term growth and rising dividend potential, with a
secondary goal of current interest income. Over the long term, it
Page 4 of 24 IAS-3936AC-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
should have moderate to higher risk.
Balanced Growth & Income: This portfolio objective has a
balanced emphasis between current interest income and
long-term growth with rising dividend potential. Over the long
term, it should have moderate risk.
A broader list of Eligible Investments is used to maximize
incorporation of these factors while also balancing performance
expectations in creating your recommended portfolio. As a
result, the performance of your personalized Research Model
could be better or worse than a defined Research Model you
could otherwise select. Please contact your financial advisor to
learn more about personalized Research Models, including their
availability.
Balanced toward Income: This portfolio objective emphasizes
current interest income while providing modest long-term growth
and rising dividend potential. Over the long term, it should have
lower to moderate risk.
With all Research Models, we can make changes to the Eligible
Investments at any time and can change the amount of your
money that is invested in the different Asset Allocation
Categories at any time without first giving you notice.
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.
If your account is taxable, changes will cause transactions in the
account, and these transactions can have tax consequences.
Edward Jones constructs the asset allocation for each Account
Portfolio Objective using different target weightings of Asset
Allocation Categories, taking into account risk tolerance, time
horizon and the purpose of investing funds into Advisory
Solutions Fund Models. Edward Jones is solely responsible for
determining, and periodically reviewing, the Asset Allocation
Category targets and ranges.
If you select a Research Model, Edward Jones has ongoing
discretion regarding the Eligible Investments, asset allocation
and rebalancing of your account pursuant to your chosen
Account Portfolio Objective. We can remove and/or add an
Eligible Investment(s) to your Research Model at any time
without prior notice. If you do not wish to invest in a specific
Eligible Investment(s), you must invest in a Custom Model.
Further, if Edward Jones retires the Research Model you
selected, then Edward Jones will, without prior notice to you,
select and implement a replacement Research Model or
personalized Research Model for your account.
Due to various influences, such as changing market conditions,
we may change the asset allocation or target weighting of an
Account Portfolio Objective. If we change the asset allocation or
target weighting, we will automatically rebalance your account to
align with the new asset allocation or target weighting.
2. You invest in a Custom Model and select the Eligible
Investments.
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. You
can choose one of the following two investment options:
1. You invest in a defined or personalized Research Model
and give Edward Jones authority to select the Eligible
Investments.
If you select a Custom Model, you are responsible for choosing
Eligible Investments and setting your Asset Allocation Category
and target percentages within the ranges that Edward Jones
has deemed acceptable for your Account Portfolio Objective. 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 investments held in a Custom Model.
Where Edward Jones, in our sole discretion, deems
In a Research Model, you give Edward Jones complete control
over the management of your account (except for selecting or
changing your Account Portfolio Objective). Edward Jones offers
two types of Research Models: defined Research Models and
personalized Research Models. In both defined Research
Models and personalized Research Models, your portfolio will
align with the Account Portfolio Objective you select.
A defined Research Model is pre-constructed by Edward Jones
using Eligible Investments and invests your money into pre-
determined percentages (target weightings) across different
Asset Allocation Categories. A select list of Eligible Investments
is used to construct defined Research Models.
appropriate, it may 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
Investments targets within the range that Edward Jones
designates for that portfolio, rather than the ranges designated
under the Account Portfolio Objective.
In a personalized Research Model, Edward Jones considers
factors unique to your situation such as your existing assets and
their respective characteristics, potential capital gains and
losses, and the characteristics of the overall portfolio, as well as
portfolio preferences you can select, to create a recommended
portfolio from a broader list of Eligible Investments than the
Eligible Investments used in defined Research Models and
invests your money across different Asset Allocation Categories.
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
investment selections or your chosen Asset Allocation
Category or Eligible Investment targets, we will, when possible,

Brokerage Services. Advisory Solutions Fund Models trades
are typically executed through Edward Jones as a broker-dealer.
You cannot request that your orders be executed through another
broker-dealer. Not all investment advisers require their clients to
execute their trades through a certain broker-dealer as we do.
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
investment targets, to bring your account back into alignment
with your chosen Account Portfolio Objective. If your account is
taxable, such changes will cause transactions in the account,
and these transactions may have tax consequences.
If you select a Custom Model, you may not be able to purchase
certain Eligible Investments in your Advisory Solutions Fund
account. For example, certain mutual funds that are Eligible
Investments may be closed to new accounts.
Advisory Solutions Fund Models trades are often aggregated. This
means that trades for your account are combined with other client
accounts, including accounts for Edward Jones associates, and
executed in a single trade or series of trades. Once the trade is
executed, it is then allocated to your account in the proper amount.
Trade aggregation is done to increase operational efficiencies and
allows us to keep trading costs down. If we did not aggregate
trades, the Program Fee could potentially be higher.
Eligible Investment trades that are aggregated are executed each
trading day at times determined by Edward Jones. If an Eligible
Investment trade is made after the last designated trade
aggregation cutoff time, it will be executed on the next business
day. You may not receive the same price as trades executed the
prior trading day. As a result, trade aggregation may affect the
price you pay for an Eligible Investment in your account. ETF
trades will be rounded to the nearest whole share. If there is not
sufficient cash or assets invested in a money market fund to
cover rounding, Edward Jones is authorized to sell a sufficient
amount of assets held in your account to purchase a whole ETF
share. Such transactions will be effected without regard to tax
consequences.
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. If we remove an Eligible
Investment, we will, when possible, provide you thirty (30)
days’ notice and recommend another appropriate Eligible
Investment (which may include affiliated mutual funds). You
can choose our recommendation or another Eligible
Investment from the list of Eligible Investments in the same
Asset Allocation Category as the Eligible Investment being
removed. If you do not select an appropriate Eligible
Investment replacement within 30 days (or such shorter or
longer time as may be determined at the discretion of Edward
Jones) of such notice, we will liquidate the Eligible Investment
being removed and use the recommended Eligible Investment
as the replacement. Liquidations may cause a taxable event as
well as redemption fees, if applicable.
You may have to pay redemption fees to a mutual fund company
if those mutual fund shares were held for only a short time. (See
below for more information on redemption fees.)
Custom Models trades are not aggregated with Research Models
trades when we remove an Eligible Investment 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, trades
placed in the same Eligible Investment may execute at different
prices when purchased in Research Models versus Custom
Models.
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.
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 a number of instances including, but
not limited to, when assets are added to your account or a
rebalancing occurs. The purchase of additional shares of such
Eligible Investment and the eventual mandatory removal of
such shares may result in a taxable event.
The replacement Eligible Investment may be subject to higher
internal expenses than the prior investment.
Trade Allocation. From time to time, the volume and/or number
of trades that must be executed for Advisory Solutions Fund
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 the manager
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.
You cannot restrict individual securities in an Advisory Solutions
Fund Models account. However, you can choose not to invest in
a specific Eligible Investment by investing in a Custom Model.
In addition, if the volume or size of redemptions required to be
effected as a result of the removal of an Eligible Investment from

Objective. Please contact your financial advisor to learn more
about the TLH service, including its availability.
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
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.
Trading in Advisory Solutions Fund Models is subject to the
trading policies and restrictions determined by Edward Jones.
Edward Jones exercises time and price discretion for all trades.
TLH Eligibility. The TLH service applies to Eligible Investments in
an eligible taxable account (“Eligible TLH Account”) within
Advisory Solutions Fund Models. Although there are no required
investment minimums for eligibility to elect the TLH service, your
Advisory Solutions Fund Models Account that has been
designated for the TLH service must continue to meet the
minimum requirements to remain in the Advisory Solutions Fund
Models program as described in this Brochure. Any authorized
account holder may elect the TLH service for an Eligible TLH
Account without the authorization of the other joint account
holder(s). Similarly, any account holder may opt-out of the TLH
service without the authorization of the other joint account
holder(s) at any time by contacting their financial advisor.
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, we will work to promptly correct the
error while ensuring your account is not disadvantaged.
The TLH service will exclude Eligible Investments with missing
cost basis information or those Eligible Investments that do not
have an alternative Replacement Security to tax loss harvest.
Similarly, the TLH service will not be available to accounts that
are not active or have certain account-level restrictions in place.
Any purchase or sale of Eligible Investments to rebalance your
account to the target asset allocation by Edward Jones as part of
a model trade will take precedence over the TLH Service.
It is Edward Jones’ policy to use an Edward Jones error account
to correct trades. This may result in there being trades placed
between your account and an Edward Jones error account.
When using an error account, we engage in principal
transactions. This means that we will transact with you from our
own inventory of securities. 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.
TLH Enrollment. The timing of your enrollment will determine
when your Eligible TLH Account will be initially reviewed for tax
loss harvesting opportunities. Edward Jones does not guarantee
that your Eligible TLH Account will be reviewed for tax loss
harvesting opportunities in the same calendar quarter that you
enroll for the TLH service. You may opt in or opt out of the TLH
service at any time by contacting your Financial Advisor.
Tax Loss Harvesting. Edward Jones offers the Tax Loss
Harvesting (“TLH”) service as an optional service that, if elected,
is an addition that is separate to the core management of your
account. The TLH service reviews Eligible Investments in certain
eligible taxable accounts, on a quarterly basis, for opportunities
to realize capital losses. Using trading thresholds, Edward Jones
will sell a security with a loss (“Harvestable Security”) and use the
proceeds to, in its sole discretion, select and purchase a different
security (“Replacement Security”) that will maintain the asset
allocation pursuant to your chosen Account Portfolio Objective.
TLH Limitations. The TLH service does not consider certain
characteristics unique to an investment that may result in
changes to an investment’s final cost basis, such as Eligible
Investments that have been gifted to you. Additionally, Edward
Jones will not take into consideration securities held in other
investment advisory or brokerage accounts at Edward Jones
(including other Advisory Solutions Fund Models Account(s), if
applicable), or other financial institutions (if applicable) when
providing the TLH service. Therefore, transactions in other
investment advisory or brokerage accounts at Edward Jones or
other financial institutions can affect whether a capital loss that is
harvested in the Eligible TLH Account will benefit the client.
Accordingly, it is the client’s responsibility to monitor any other
accounts at Edward Jones or other financial institutions to avoid
any wash sales. You should consult your tax and/or legal advisor
prior to selecting the TLH service, as well as on an ongoing
basis, to determine whether the wash sales rule or other tax rules
apply to the trading activity in your Eligible TLH Account or in
other investment advisory or brokerage accounts at Edward
Jones or other financial institutions, if applicable.
TLH Frequency and Implementation. For the account(s) for which
you have opted in to the TLH service, we will review Eligible
Investments for capital losses on a quarterly basis. In certain
The Replacement Security may be any investment that qualifies
as an Eligible Investment, even if not currently held in your
account, and will have a similar risk profile as the Harvestable
Security, as determined in Edward Jones’ sole discretion. Edward
Jones’ use of Replacement Securities seeks to avoid triggering a
wash sale within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and accompanying regulations (“Tax Law”);
however, there is no assurance regarding how the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS “) would view these transactions. The
wash-sale rule provides that a tax loss will be disallowed if a
person buys the same security, a contract or option to buy the
security, or a “substantially identical” security, within 30 days
before or after the date they sold the loss- generating security (a
61-day period). Once the 61-day wash sale period has expired,
Edward Jones will typically sell the Replacement Security, and

Advisory Solutions Fund 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 separate from, and in addition
to, the Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models
Fee may be greater than the income generated by your Advisory
Solutions Fund 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.
circumstances (for example, if market conditions present an
opportunity), we may, in our sole discretion, review and/or
conduct harvesting more than once in a calendar quarter.
Alternatively, we may, in our sole discretion, postpone or not
conduct tax loss harvesting if, for instance, market volatility is
causing excessive market movement that may impact the results
of harvesting or in situations where we determine harvesting is
not appropriate. As a result, Edward Jones makes no guarantees
regarding the frequency and/or timing of tax loss harvesting and
will not be liable for any tax consequences, losses, or missed
opportunities arising from our decisions whether to review your
account(s) or conduct harvesting. Each TLH service event is
pursuant to trading thresholds as established by Edward Jones
through its TLH service (which include, but are not limited to
minimum trade amounts, minimum loss percentages and
maximum portfolio turnover percentages) and are subject to
change without notice to the client. The date Edward Jones
reviews your Eligible TLH Account for tax loss harvesting
opportunities may not align with, or be changed for, market
events that may impact, even significantly, the value of the
Eligible Investments in your account. Therefore, not all losses will
be realized. You will not be notified before tax loss harvesting
occurs.
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. Edward Jones is obligated to
adhere to this order of prioritization, as the Securities
Intermediary (as that term is defined in the Reserve Line
Agreement), thus Edward Jones will address the Lender’s
interests before your interests. To learn more about the Reserve
Line offering and its availability, please contact your Financial
Advisor.
Custody. Assets in your account are held at Edward Jones as
broker-dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets in
your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties and
responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones, as sub-custodian.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
• Safekeeping your funds and securities
• Collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales
• Disbursing funds from your account
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.
Please review your account statements carefully and notify
us immediately if you detect an error or a discrepancy.
Edward Jones Reserve Line of Credit. Certain Advisory
Solutions Fund 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
the 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 Fund 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. The 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.
Investment and Trading Discretion. When you decide to invest
in Advisory Solutions Fund Models, you will sign a CSA indicating
that you agree to all of its terms and conditions. You cannot
change or amend the CSA in any way. By signing the CSA, you
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

You or Edward Jones may terminate your participation in
Advisory Solutions Fund Models at any time without any advisory

In general, 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. When a
mutual fund company offers multiple share class options for a
mutual fund, and you have instructed us to transfer such mutual
fund to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or you fail to
provide instructions and your assets are transferred to a Limited
Services Account, as defined below, then Edward Jones will
determine, in our sole discretion, what share class to convert
your mutual fund holding into when transferring your mutual fund
holding to the Edward Jones Select brokerage account or Limited
Services Account. Mutual fund share class conversions can result
in higher or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under
the previous share class and liquidations may cause a taxable
event.

lowest- priced share class available in the particular mutual
fund;
In the event Edward Jones is notified by a receiving firm that a
transfer of securities in your Advisory Solutions Fund Models
account is being rejected in part or whole by such receiving firm
Edward Jones will liquidate the rejected securities and transfer
the cash to such receiving firm.

expenses that are described in the prospectus of each fund. These
internal fees and expenses vary depending on the particular

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 when you move from an Edward Jones advisory
account to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or
account at another financial institution. The 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 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.
The Program Fee
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.
If you request the assets in your account to be liquidated,
proceeds from the sale of your securities will be available upon
settlement of the trades generated to complete the liquidation.
Liquidation of securities held in your account may cause a
taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.
Every Advisory Solutions Fund 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. The Program Fee is
assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of 1.35%, payable
monthly in arrears.
The Platform Fee
Upon notice of termination, if you fail to instruct Edward Jones as
to the disposition of assets in your account, your account’s
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.
Platform Fee is charged on accounts enrolled in Advisory Solutions
Fund Models for the support and maintenance of accounts on the
Edward Jones’ investment advisory platform, such as trading and
risk tools, training and education, and ongoing platform
development. This fee is in addition to the Program Fee. The
Platform Fee is assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of
0.05%, payable monthly in arrears.
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.
How the Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee
Is Calculated
The Advisory Solutions Fund 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 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 Fund Models Fee. The Advisory
Solutions Fund Models Fee is comprised of fees assessed at
annual fee rates (shown above), payable monthly in arrears.
Accounts with higher values generally pay lower fee rates than
accounts with lower values. The fees assessed by Edward Jones
will reduce your account’s overall returns and performance.
If you terminate your participation in Advisory Solutions Fund
Models and do not instruct us to transfer the assets in your
Advisory Solutions Fund Models account to another Edward
Jones account that is eligible for the Reserve Line, the Reserve
Line (if any) associated with your Advisory Solutions Fund
Models account will be terminated by 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. Edward Jones will
act solely in its capacity as Securities Intermediary (as defined in
the Reserve Line Agreement) in connection with any such
instruction, not as an investment adviser. Please see the Reserve
Line Agreement for additional information.
The Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund 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.
Fees
Every Advisory Solutions Fund Models account pays asset-based
fees (referred to as your “Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee”).
Your Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee includes a Program Fee
and a Platform Fee, less any applicable fee reduction and/or fee
offset (as discussed more fully below).
In addition to your Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee, Eligible
Investments, including ETFs, affiliated mutual funds and

Pricing Groups
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
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. Other members of the Pricing Group will
receive the same disclosure upon request.
Your Pricing Group is based on the following criteria:
If your Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund
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 Fund 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.
1. Your single, joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan and IRA
accounts are grouped together if they are registered at the
same address and share one or more of the following: (a) the
same last name, (b) the same Social Security number, or (c)
the same Edward Jones Relationship Group. (If you have
worked with your financial advisor to group your account with
other accounts for the purpose of planning and establishing
financial goals, that is a Relationship Group. Your Relationship
Group may be the same as your Pricing Group. Please contact
your financial advisor if you have any questions about your
Relationship Group.)
If you are selling securities to invest in Advisory Solutions Fund
Models but did not purchase them through Edward Jones, you
will not receive a fee reduction.
2. Your revocable trust accounts are grouped with your single,
Fee Offsets
joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan, IRA or other revocable
trust accounts if they are registered at the same address and
use the same tax ID number for tax reporting.
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.
3. Your association, church, corporation, estate, irrevocable trust,
LLC, partnership and sole proprietorship accounts are grouped
with other accounts of the same type if they are registered at
the same address and use the same tax ID number for tax
reporting. These types of accounts will be grouped with each
other but not with other account types.
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.
Additionally, accounts that do not meet the above criteria with
your account, but that meet the above criteria with another
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 Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee may be
lower than the above stated maximum annual fee rate in the
following circumstances:
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
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 contains a detailed
discussion of our affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds.
• 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.
Reducing, up to and including a waiver, the Advisory Solutions
Fund Models Fee is at the sole discretion of Edward Jones and
may result in clients being charged differently for the same or
similar services.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund: JFC directly owns 100%
of Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), the
adviser of the 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 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.

pursuant to a transfer on death agreement, estate service fees,
an account transfer fee and/or an account termination fee.
How the Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee
Is Paid
Also, the Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee does not cover the
following (if applicable to your account): transfer taxes; electronic
fund, wire and other account transfer fees; 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 Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee is deducted directly
from your account and paid using the cash portion of the portfolio
in which you are invested, which may include cash or assets
invested in a money market fund. If there is not sufficient cash or
assets in the money market fund, we are authorized to sell a
sufficient amount of assets to pay the Advisory Solutions Fund
Models Fee. If Edward Jones sells 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 Fund Models Fee from an alternate
Edward Jones account.
Internal Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds and
ETFs, Including Redemption Fees
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
account but not yet invested into Advisory Solutions Fund 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
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.
Financial Advisor Compensation
Each Eligible Investment (including affiliated mutual funds, if any)
has internal management fees and ongoing expenses that are
deducted from the Eligible Investment’s assets, which has the
effect of reducing the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Many
Eligible Investments used in Advisory Solutions Fund Models
have different share classes with different fees and expenses.
The prospectus for each Eligible Investment will describe the
internal fees and expenses. Please refer to Item 6 below for more
information regarding the selection of Eligible Investments for
Advisory Solutions Fund Models.
Internal fees and expenses are in addition to the Advisory
Solutions Fund Models Fee described above and vary depending
on the particular Eligible Investment. You will not see a separate
entry on your account statement showing these fees and
expenses.
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 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).
The prospectus and SAI will describe whether the mutual fund
has a redemption fee and whether there are instances when the
redemption fees will be waived.
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 Fund
Models over another investment advisory program. Your financial
advisor also will not receive a portion of the Platform Fee.
Any internal fees and expenses charged by an Eligible
Investment will reduce your account’s overall returns and
investment performance.
Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the
Advisory Solutions Fund Models Fee
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 Fund 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 Fund Models. This creates a
financial incentive for your financial advisor to recommend
Advisory Solutions Fund Models instead of brokerage services.
In addition to the Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund
Models Fee you pay us. You may pay for other services
including, but not limited to, fees to distribute an account
Page 12 of 24 IAS-3936AC-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

that are appropriate in light of their financial circumstances.

interest, please see the “Understanding how we are

Additional Disclosure of Services, Fees and
Other Compensation
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure. This Brochure contains
disclosures designed to assist the named fiduciary or other
responsible plan fiduciaries of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA (the “Plan”) in determining the reasonableness of the
fees and compensation Edward Jones may receive as a service
provider to the Plan. Advisory Solutions Fund Models is an
investment advisory program offered by Edward Jones. The
services provided through Advisory Solutions Fund Models are
described in Item 4 above and in Section 1 of the CSA.
For a description of the fees that may be directly charged to the
Plan in connection with Advisory Solutions Fund Models, refer to
Fees in this Item 4 and the Advisory Solutions Fund Models
Schedule of Fees.
Edward Jones could receive compensation from sources other
than the Plan in connection with services provided. For a
discussion of other potential sources of compensation, see Item
9 below.
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 Reserve Line Advances
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 Fund
Models account, we retain the Advisory Solutions Fund 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.
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
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.
For a discussion of termination fees that may apply see
“Termination of Advisory Solutions Fund Models Services” and
“Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the Advisory Solutions
Fund Models Fee” in this Item 4.
Edward Jones and its affiliates may benefit from other
compensation as described in Item 9B under “Client Referrals
and Other Compensation.”

please see the “Understanding how we are compensated for
financial services” document found at edwardjones.com/
compensation.
Comparing Costs, Expenses and Services
The Program Fee, as well as assets under care and 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).
Most financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward
Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which
includes domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu
of a trip. Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon
the amount of new and existing assets under care of a financial
advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
Your Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models may cost you more or less
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.
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
You can choose to forgo the services of Advisory Solutions Fund
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).
Edward Jones can prohibit any person or entity from investing or
remaining in Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models if you want to
actively trade in mutual funds and/or ETFs or have a time horizon
shorter than three (3) years.
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
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 in your account in
accordance with your model and in a manner that attempts to
minimize variations in the asset allocation and target weightings
within your account. If using personalized Research Models,
Edward Jones will evaluate the factors unique to your personal
portfolio, which can include potential tax consequences or your
account’s alignment to certain asset allocations or target
weightings, to determine what securities will be purchased or sold
when you add or withdraw funds.
If after your Advisory Solutions Fund Models account is opened
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 Fund
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.
Your initial investment in an Advisory Solutions Fund Models
account generally must be at least $25,000. You can initially fund
your Advisory Solutions Fund Models account with cash and/or
securities. If your account is a Benefit Plans account or a
traditional or Roth IRA account, all initial incoming securities may
be liquidated and the proceeds, along with any other incoming
cash, will be invested in your Research or Custom Model. For all
other account types (“taxable accounts”), if you initially transfer
securities into your Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund 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.
The total value of your account is monitored by Edward Jones. If
the value of your account falls below the initial investment
minimum, we may, in our discretion, remove your account from
Advisory Solutions Fund Models.
All liquidations and redemptions of securities will be made 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 connection with such transactions and will sell those
securities at no commission. The proceeds will be invested in
your Research or Custom Model. We will not provide advice and/
or guidance regarding the securities being sold to fund the
Advisory Solutions Fund Models account. Trades that occur in a
taxable account will result in a taxable event to you. Please
consult with your tax professional.
Mutual fund shares held in your Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund Models. Assets in your Advisory
Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models may not be appropriate for every
client or every account type. Generally, Advisory Solutions Fund
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 (individually, “Benefit
Plan”) include pension or other employee benefit plans governed
by ERISA, a tax-qualified retirement plan (including a Keogh
plan, an Edward Jones-sponsored Owner K® plan or a “single
owner 401(k)” plan in which the only eligible plan participants are
the business owner and/or his or her spouse) under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE”)
IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (“SEP”) IRAs, traditional
IRAs linked to an Edward Jones SEP IRA and other applicable
retirement plans.
If you request a transfer of securities from your Advisory Fund
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
Fund 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.
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
the list of Eligible Investments. An Eligible Investment can be
removed from the list 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
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 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.
• An alternate Eligible Investment that has been identified within
the same Asset Allocation Category
• A change in Edward Jones’ guidance and/or outlook

Advisory Solutions Fund Models is a wrap fee program sponsored
by Edward Jones. Edward Jones-supervised persons serve as
portfolio managers for Research Models in Advisory Solutions
Fund Models. See Item 4 above for a description of our advisory
services.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Affiliated mutual funds generally will not be removed from the list
of Eligible Investments. However, as multi-manager funds, the
above 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.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
Edward Jones selects the Eligible Investments available in
Advisory Solutions Fund Models based on several factors. The
selection process starts with the universe of applicable funds,
including affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs and
unaffiliated money market funds. 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 are applied
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.
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.
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.
In selecting and monitoring sub-advisers for our affiliated mutual
The appropriate asset allocation ranges for each Account
Portfolio Objective are based on the Edward Jones Investment
Pyramid. Target allocations for each Research Model are
established within the asset allocation ranges set by us. Eligible
Page 15 of 24 IAS-3936AC-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
Investments are chosen to represent the Asset Allocation
Categories and investment styles within each model. In the case
of the affiliated mutual funds, sub-advisers are chosen based on
due diligence. The overall asset allocation and target weightings
within each model are monitored for changes to the Eligible
Investments or sub-advisers as deemed necessary.
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
entire 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..
Rebalancing. Depending on market volatility, the asset allocations
set for your portfolio will sometimes get out of balance. Different
Asset Allocation Categories will perform better than others,
resulting in an asset allocation that may have more or less risk
than you may want. In order to keep your account in line with your
risk tolerance and Account Portfolio Objective, your account will be
automatically rebalanced if the Eligible Investments comprising
your portfolio have deviated too far from the target asset
allocations. Rebalancing will occur if either Eligible Investments or
Asset Allocation Categories are out of balance by an amount or for
a time period determined by Edward Jones.
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
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 other fund documents describe the
risks specific to the fund.
Rebalancing is achieved by buying, redeeming or selling shares
of Eligible Investments, which may include affiliated mutual funds,
until the asset allocation in your account is in alignment with the
target asset allocation of the Account Portfolio Objective. We may
also rebalance your account if an Eligible Investment is removed
from the list of Eligible Investments or, if you are invested in a
Research Model, an Eligible Investment is added to the Research
Model. As a result, your account 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. You will not be
notified before a rebalance occurs. Asset allocation and
rebalancing strategies do not guarantee 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 Fund Models.
Share Classes. Unaffiliated mutual funds used in Advisory
Solutions Fund 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.
The objective of investing in a variety of Eligible Investments in
various types of Asset Allocation Categories in different
percentages is to construct a portfolio designed to experience
less volatility and show more consistent performance over time.
There is no guarantee that this goal will be achieved.
Edward Jones considers several factors when selecting a mutual
fund share class for Advisory Solutions Fund Models, including,
but not limited to, the eligibility criteria set by mutual fund
companies and the overall cost structure of the share class.
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.
Clients should not assume they will be invested in the share class
with the lowest expense ratio.
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.
Edward Jones generally attempts to select institutional and/or
advisory share classes for Advisory Solutions Fund 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.
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
Class A shares are selected in Advisory Solutions Fund Models,
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 Fund Models. A prospectus containing this and other
information about each Eligible Investment can be obtained from
your financial advisor.
Page 16 of 24 IAS-3936AC-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

fluctuate, and you could lose money.
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 Fund Models. In our sole discretion,
Edward Jones can change the share class of any Eligible
Investment at any time without prior notice to you.
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 effected 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.
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.
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.
Reserve Line Risk. Our financial advisors provide information
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 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; (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
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 Fund 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.
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

Tax Loss Harvesting Risks. Tax loss harvesting involves unique
risks and you should carefully consider whether such risks are
right for your individual situation before participating in the TLH
service. Some material risks of participating in the TLH service
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Taxes. There is no guarantee that the TLH service will reduce,
replacement shares, the loss would be deferred or, in some
cases, disallowed entirely. Specifically, a taxpayer cannot avoid
the wash sales rule by selling an investment at a loss in a
taxable account and then buying it back in a tax-advantaged
account. Also, the IRS takes the position that a security sold by
one spouse at a loss and purchased within Wash Sale Period
by the other spouse is a wash sale.
defer or eliminate your tax liability in any given tax year.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that an investment sold as
a Harvestable Security will settle at a loss. Factors, including
but not limited to, market volatility and/or movement or an
adjusted cost basis at trade settlement, can result in the
Harvestable Security settling at no loss or at a gain to you.
Losses carried forward from a tax year come with the
possibility that they may not be used efficiently or at all in future
years, thereby decreasing or eliminating the value of the TLH
service with respect to such carried forward losses. Edward
Jones is not providing tax advice by offering the TLH service
and assumes no responsibility for any tax consequences
associated with the TLH service.
Edward Jones will typically sell the Replacement Security, and
then reinvest proceeds from the Replacement Security back
into the account in accordance with the client’s selected
Account Portfolio Objective after a 31-day period. However,
Edward Jones cannot guarantee that Wash Sales will not occur
in a client’s Eligible TLH Account(s). For example, if securities
need to be sold during the Wash Sale Period to provide funds
for a withdrawal, those sales will take place even if they will
result in a wash sale. Similarly, any sales or purchases of the
Harvestable Security during the Wash Sale Period (for
example, in connection with a rebalancing event or a dividend
reinvestment) may also cause a Wash Sale. Both scenarios
affect whether a loss that is harvested in the Eligible TLH
Account will benefit the client. Any deposits, including interest,
received in the client’s account during the Wash Sale Period
will be invested into the account’s Eligible Investments in
accordance with the client’s selected Account Portfolio
Objective.
The client’s use of Edward Jones’ TLH service is subject to
current tax provisions. These provisions are complex, and
interpretation and enforceability thereof may change and
render the TLH service ineffective and may pose additional
unforeseen risks to the client. It is important to note that
consequences of enrolling in the TLH service are complex,
uncertain and may be challenged by the IRS or any other tax
authority resulting in adverse tax consequences.
In addition, there may be potential tax considerations and
consequences relating to state or local tax, federal tax rules
applicable to entities, estate taxes, or gift taxes implicated
when utilizing the TLH service. For these reasons, you should
discuss such risks and responsibilities with your tax and/or
legal professional(s) before opting into the TLH service.
Edward Jones will not monitor for Wash Sales across two or
more of a client’s Eligible TLH Accounts, non-Eligible TLH
Accounts within the Advisory Solutions Fund Models program,
in other investment advisory or brokerage accounts held at
Edward Jones or another financial institution. It is the client’s
sole responsibility to monitor and report Wash Sales in
accordance with current tax provisions across other Eligible
TLH Account(s), other investment advisory or brokerage
accounts at Edward Jones or other financial institutions.
In addition, state and local tax laws may differ from federal law
in material ways. There is limited guidance governing whether
an ETF is “substantially identical” to another ETF, or whether a
mutual fund is “substantially identical” to another mutual fund
for purposes of the wash sales rule. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance regarding how the IRS would view the exchange
of one fund for another. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to
accurately report on your tax return your capital gains and
losses realized during the year and Wash Sales occurring
across all accounts held at Edward Jones and other financial
institutions.
• Suitability. The TLH service is not suitable for all clients, and
each client must determine whether use of the TLH service is
appropriate after considering all pertinent factors, including but
not limited to, the client’s current and future tax profile,
investment activity and objectives, the number and type of
investment accounts, planned future activity such as
anticipated withdrawals, holdings periods, state of residence,
and personal circumstances. Clients maintain the sole
responsibility for determining the appropriateness and benefit
of the TLH service notwithstanding any advice or guidance
from Edward Jones or its Financial Advisors. As noted above,
there is no guarantee that the TLH service will reduce, defer, or
eliminate taxes.
• Wash Sales Limitations. Pursuant to the wash sales rule, a
• Trading and Performance. When we identify a Harvestable
Security for sale pursuant to the TLH service, we expect the
Replacement Security to have similar performance and risk
exposure as the Harvestable Security. However, a Replacement
Security can vary in performance and risk exposure from the
Harvestable Security. As a result, we cannot make any
guarantees regarding the actual performance of the Replacement
Security. For example, a new ETF (Replacement Security) may
perform better or worse than the original ETF (Harvestable
Security) that was sold for tax loss harvesting purposes.
taxpayer cannot deduct any loss on the sale or other
disposition of an investment if the taxpayer (or a related party)
acquires a substantially identical security (“Wash Sale”) within
a 30-day period before and 30-day period after the date of
such sale (“Wash Sale Period”). If a Wash Sale occurs on the
sale of a loss security, the loss is deferred such that the client
cannot currently use the loss to offset gains or in certain cases
reduce taxable income. If you acquire substantially identical

the portfolio manager in Research Models described in the
Advisory Solutions Unified Managed Account (UMA) Models
Brochure.
Additionally, use of the TLH service will likely result in more
frequent trading and the Replacement Security may have
higher internal management fees and ongoing expenses.
Accordingly, the risk and return of any Replacement Security
cannot be guaranteed and may result in additional losses.
We also act as an investment adviser in other advisory programs
for which we provide different services. Additional information is
available at www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures.
In limited instances, due to market movement, the security
identified to be sold for a loss will be sold at a gain. The sale of
a replacement security with a capital gain will result in either a
reduction of the capital loss from the sale of the Harvestable
Security or, in certain circumstances, a net capital gain.
The use of the TLH service may also cause certain dividends
that would otherwise qualify for the reduced rates on qualified
dividend income to not qualify due to a failure by the client to
satisfy certain holding period requirements with respect to the
underlying security.
• ESG Dilution. If you have selected mutual funds and ETFs
that use ESG or values-based strategies, electing the TLH
service may cause those ESG holdings to be diluted or sold.
Voting Client Securities
As a registered investment adviser, Edward Jones can vote
proxies for clients in accordance with applicable law and has a
fiduciary duty to vote those proxies in a timely manner and in our
clients’ best interests, even if our clients’ best interest is in conflict
with our interests. Edward Jones votes Eligible Investment
proxies for all Advisory Solutions Fund Models accounts (except
Benefit Plans accounts) unless the client specifically retains the
right to vote proxies. If you transfer non-Eligible Investment
investments to open or fund an Advisory Solutions Fund Models
account, Edward Jones may also vote proxies for those securities
if the date of record occurs before the securities are liquidated.
When you invest in Advisory Solutions Fund Models, you
delegate the right to vote on these securities to Edward Jones
and cannot direct or recommend how we will vote. By delegating
proxy authority, you also authorize us to receive all proxy-related
materials, annual and semi-annual reports, and other shareholder
materials, including corporate actions, arising from any Eligible
Investments or other securities in the account.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
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.
Edward Jones has hired an independent third-party proxy voting
service to assist us in evaluating and voting proxies in a way that
follows our adopted policies and guidelines. We have established
policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that proxies
are voted in a manner that is consistent with our clients’ best
interest. Further, certain independent shareholder rights available
to you as an individual may not be exercised or effectuated when
you delegate proxy authority to Edward Jones. For more
information, you can receive a copy of proxy-related materials,
Edward Jones’ proxy voting policy and procedures, voting
guidelines and/or proxy voting record by submitting a written
request to: Edward Jones, Attention: Investment Advisory,
12555 Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO 63131.
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.
If you want to retain your right to vote proxies, you must inform
Edward Jones that we are not to vote on your behalf. Benefit Plans
accounts, for which we will not vote proxies, and those clients who
wish to retain their right to vote proxies will then continue to receive
all materials and notices from Edward Jones or the applicable
mutual fund company, and will be responsible for voting on the
issues that the fund companies raise. We will not provide
recommendations or advice on how to vote on these issues.
Tailoring Advisory Services to Clients
See Item 4 above for a description of how we tailor our advisory
services to you and how you can impose restrictions on investing
in certain securities or types of securities by investing in a
Custom Model.
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, class
action lawsuit and/or bankruptcy. However, Edward Jones will
promptly forward any such documents to you.

controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a

normal business hours with questions regarding your account.
Item 9: Additional Information
A. Disciplinary Information and Other Financial
State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration. On
January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania

one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. §

Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
Industry Activities and Affiliations
Disciplinary Information
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent
compliance consultant to assess the firm’s policies and systems
regarding electronic communications recordkeeping and assist
Edward Jones in further enhancing those policies and systems.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports
that were misleading.
FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had made changes to
enhance its supervisory processes. As part of the settlement,
Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $725,000.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation.
On December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings

accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
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.
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 Fund Models and
other Edward Jones programs. For additional information about
this arrangement, please see Item 4.
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 Fund Models, including the
execution of brokerage transactions (e.g., the purchase or sale of
securities or insurance products), 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.
Edward Jones owns directly or indirectly 100% of three insurance
agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance
Agency of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited
liability company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of
California, L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
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.
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 Fund 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
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.
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
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 Fund Models accounts. Edward Jones and
our financial advisors also receive compensation for services and
recommendations that may differ from advice given to you while
participating in Advisory Solutions Fund Models.
• Place your and all of our clients’ interests first
• Conduct personal trading in compliance with our Code of

under our Code of Ethics because they may have access to

accounts or changes to the Eligible Investments, including Asset

understanding of Advisory Solutions Fund Models, including the
fees and expenses you are or will be paying.
While you are invested in Advisory Solutions Fund Models, we
provide ongoing monitoring, including an annual review. The
Asset Allocation Category established for your Account Portfolio
Objective is monitored on an ongoing basis and rebalanced
according to Edward Jones’ guidelines. (For more information,
please refer to “Rebalancing.”)
Allocation Categories. 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.
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.
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 Fund Models buy securities
that are also available in Advisory Solutions Fund Models. These
brokerage activities are done in the regular course of our
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.
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
performance reports, 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.
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. If you decide
to pursue a different Account Portfolio Objective, your account may
be rebalanced to match your new Account Portfolio Objective.
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones associates
(including those directly involved with Advisory Solutions Fund
Models) and/or their family members are permitted to and do
invest in Advisory Solutions Fund 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 Fund Models) and/
or their family members are aggregated along with other trades,
which may include trades for your account.
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.
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 Fund 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
Review of Accounts
At the time your Advisory Solutions Fund Models account is
opened, Edward Jones’ supervisory associates will review your
selected Account Portfolio Objective to confirm it is appropriate
based on considerations such as your net worth, risk tolerance,
time horizon and/or Goal Portfolio Objective (if applicable). The
funding of your Advisory Solutions Fund 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
Page 22 of 24 IAS-3936AC-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones 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 can influence our decision to incorporate such
product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
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.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors on
the list of Eligible Investments (or their investment advisers) 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 also participate in
conferences or other marketing activities with Edward Jones and
generally share in the cost of those activities. Edward Jones has
not entered into any agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its
investment adviser or its distributors or affiliates providing for
payment of such expenses as a condition of inclusion on the 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.

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
For any Advisory Solutions Fund 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
Fund 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 Fund
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.

as determined by Edward Jones.
Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation
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
• Are willing to follow a disciplined investment strategy
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 comfortable paying monthly, asset-based (percentage)
fees for investments and advice rather than individual,
transaction-based commissions or sales charges
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739 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 accepts and
approves the written Client Services Agreement (“CSA”) with you
and (b) funding of the account at the initial minimum investment,

Certain Eligible Investments are only available in taxable accounts.
SMA Managers can provide (a) a non-discretionary model
portfolio to Edward Jones, acting as overlay manager, to
implement at its discretion or (b) a discretionary model portfolio
and then facilitate the trading in your account to align with such
investment recommendations (SMA Managers acting in this
capacity are referred to hereinafter as an “Executing SMA
Manager”).
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 us using overlay
management. For more information on the services associated
with overlay management, please read this Brochure and the
accompanying brochure for the Edward Jones Overlay
Management Services to understand the full scope of these
services and associated risks.
Edward Jones and/or an Executing SMA Manager may, in its sole
discretion, reject an account for any reason.
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
brochure for the Edward Jones SMA Model Portfolios program to
understand the key risks and differences for these SMAs.
The investments available to you in the Program will depend on
what investment model you select. The Program offers a mix of
firm developed, financial advisor developed, and client developed
investment model types. See sub-item A: Program Investment
Models Available to You for more information on the different
investment model types available to you.
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.
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.
Across the available investment model types, some combination
of the following types of investments have been approved by
Edward Jones and are available: affiliated separately managed
accounts (“SMAs”), unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual funds,
unaffiliated mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
stocks, or private market investments managed by unaffiliated
asset managers in the categories of private equity, private credit,
or real assets (collectively, the “Alternative Investments”). In
general, these investments are referred to as “Eligible
Investments” throughout the Brochure. For information on what
types of investments are available in each investment model
type, please see sub-item A: Program Investment Models
Available to You.
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, by a
financial advisor as part of a Financial Advisor Developed Model
(see Item 4 for more information), 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. Please refer to Appendix A for more
information about the Money Market Fund.
The Alternative Investments available in the Program are part of
a pilot Edward Jones is conducting and are subject to additional
client eligibility and qualification requirements. The Alternative
Investments and unaffiliated money market funds made available
in the Program are offered on a non-discretionary basis. For
more information on Alternative Investments and the associated
services, including the use of unaffiliated money market funds,
please see sub-item D.
Your account’s asset allocation may include a cash allocation
held in the Money Market Fund through the automatic 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 and/or the Executing SMA
Manager may increase the amount of cash you hold in your
portfolio. The portion of your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account held in the Money Market Fund or other cash vehicles
will be included in the calculation of your Advisory Solutions UMA
Models Fee (defined below).
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.
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.
Values-Based and Sustainable Investing. Certain available
investments may incorporate values-based or sustainable
investment strategies. Values-based investing considers a client’s
personal beliefs and values, while sustainable investing
incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
considerations. Such investments have subjective qualities and
characteristics and may or may not align with your beliefs,
values, or desired investment performance. Please contact your

recommend that you select an Account Portfolio Objective that is
appropriate for the portfolio objective you selected for your goal
(your “Goal Portfolio Objective”).
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:
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.
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.
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing
modest current interest income. Over the long term, it should
have higher risk than portfolios with a more income-oriented
objective.
Balanced toward Growth: This portfolio objective emphasizes
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.
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
of additional information (“SAI”) and shareholder reports for each
mutual fund and ETF, and details about the Alternative
Investments in your account can be found in the prospectus,
offering document, and/or subscription agreement (collectively,
“Fund prospectus and other fund documents”). Investment
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 Growth & Income: This portfolio objective has a
balanced emphasis between current interest income and
long-term growth with rising dividend potential. Over the long
term, it should have moderate risk.
It is important that you read these documents, the accompanying
Edward Jones Overlay Management Services brochure and any
applicable Executing SMA Manager’s and SMA Manager’s Form

A. Account Portfolio Objective, Investment
Model Selection and 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.
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.
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. 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. Generally, 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
Program Investment Models Available to You
Advisory Solutions UMA Models offers the following types of
investment models: Research Model, Financial Advisor
Developed Model (in pilot), and Custom Model. The investment
model type that you select must be consistent with your chosen
Account Portfolio Objective.
PAGE 5 OF 32 IAS-6486AE-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
Research Model: Research Models are based on the Asset
Allocation Category and Eligible Investment weightings
determined by Edward Jones in its sole discretion to be
appropriate for each Account Portfolio Objective. These
weightings are set by Edward Jones at target percentages
appropriate for each Research Model’s corresponding Account
Portfolio Objective and cannot be changed by you.
Eligible Investment Types Available for Research Models. The
Eligible Investments available to Research Models include a list
of unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual
funds, and ETFs. The selection and ongoing management of
what Eligible Investments are included in a particular Research
Model is owned and managed by an Edward Jones home office
team.
Edward Jones, including your financial advisor, retains the right
to make any change to an FA Developed Model you have
selected at any time without prior notice to you. For example, 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, Edward Jones may change the Asset
Allocation Category or Eligible Investment weightings within an
Account Portfolio Objective. This type of change by Edward
Jones could then result in your financial advisor needing to make
a change to his or her FA Developed Model to account for the
change in the underlying Asset Allocation Category or Eligible
Investment done by Edward Jones for that Account Portfolio
Objective. Additionally, Edward Jones can make changes to the
Eligible Investments allowed to be held in an FA Developed
Model at any time. Or, alternatively, or your financial advisor
can make changes to the Eligible Investments held in an FA
Developed Model at any time.
If your account is taxable, changes to an Asset Allocation
Category or an Eligible Investment held in an FA Developed
Model will cause transactions in the account, and these
transactions may have tax consequences.
Edward Jones may make any change to a Research Model you
have selected at any time without prior notice to you. For
example, 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, Edward Jones may change the
Asset Allocation Category or Eligible Investment weightings
within an Account Portfolio Objective. Additionally, Edward Jones
may make changes to the Eligible Investments held in a
Research Model at any time. Further, if Edward Jones retires the
Research Model you selected, then Edward Jones will, without
prior notice to you, select and implement a replacement
Research Model for your account.
Custom Model: Custom Models provide our clients with more
flexibility to select investments consistent with their account
Portfolio Objective. If you select a Custom Model, you are
responsible for choosing Eligible Investments from the list of
available Eligible Investments for a Custom Model 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.
If your account is taxable, changes to an Asset Allocation
Category or an Eligible Investment held in a Research Model will
cause transactions in the account, and these transactions may
have tax consequences.
Eligible Investment Types Available for Custom Models. The
Eligible Investments available to Custom Models include a list of
affiliated SMAs, unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual funds,
unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs, and Alternative Investments. For
Alternative Investments, please see sub-item D for more
information on availability and disclosures specific to this
investment type.
Financial Advisor Developed Model Pilot: Edward Jones is
conducting a pilot with a limited number of qualifying financial
advisors for the development of investment models in the
Program. The models developed by financial advisors are
referred to as Financial Advisor Developed Models (“FA
Developed Models”) and can only be recommended to the clients
of such financial advisor who developed the model.
If your financial advisor qualifies for and is offering FA Developed
Models, has recommended an FA Developed Model to you, and
you have chosen to select such a model, then these disclosures
apply to you.
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.
Each FA Developed Model has an Asset Allocation Category and
Eligible Investment target percentage that is set by the financial
advisor within a range that Edward Jones has deemed
acceptable for an Account Portfolio Objective.
Eligible Investment Types Available for FA Developed Models.
The Eligible Investments available to FA Developed Models
include a list of unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual funds,
unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs, and stocks. The selection and
ongoing management of what Eligible Investments are included
in a particular FA Developed Model are determined by your
financial advisor.
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

a taxable event.
For an investment model that includes an SMA, the replacement
Eligible Investment selected may be subject to a higher SMA
Manager Fee. Similarly, for an investment model that includes a
mutual fund or ETF, the replacement Eligible Investment selected
may be subject to 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.
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, this 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.
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
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.
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
are only available in a Custom Model. For more information on
Alternative Investments and the associated services, please see
sub-item D.
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.
Investment and Trading Discretion. When you decide to invest
in Advisory Solutions UMA Models, you will sign a CSA indicating
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, as applicable, an Executing SMA
Manager) discretionary investment and trading authority over
your account. You do not give us the authority to choose or
change your Goal Portfolio Objective or Account Portfolio
Objective without your instruction. To change your Goal Portfolio
Objective or Account Portfolio Objective, you must meet with your
financial advisor to select a new Goal Portfolio Objective or
Account Portfolio Objective.
With the exception of Alternative Investments, which Edward
Jones offers to you on a non-discretionary basis, the
discretionary investment and trading authority you give to Edward
Jones and, as applicable, the Executing SMA Manager(s) to
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

Investment Restrictions: For Research Models, FA Developed
Models, 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
Edward Jones 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. Edward Jones will apply
the uninvested cash resulting from the security or category
restriction across other investments held within the SMA
Manager’s strategy, or the other stocks held in your FA
Developed Model. 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.

B. Overlay Management
• Monitoring and maintaining the required cash thresholds set by
each selected SMA strategy or by your financial advisor if in an
FA Developed Model in your account. If your cash balance
goes above the threshold for one of your SMA strategies or the
threshold set by your financial advisor in the FA Developed
Model, Edward Jones will apply the excess cash into the
investments held within the SMA strategy or the qualifying
stock held in your FA Developed Model.
Edward Jones provides overlay management services as part of
Advisory Solutions UMA Models. You can find information on the
overlay management services in the Edward Jones Overlay
Management Services brochure, but in general, Edward Jones
performs the following functions with these services:
Edward Jones retains sole responsibility for selecting the overlay
manager and reserves the right, at any time and at its sole
discretion, to replace the overlay manager with either an affiliated
or unaffiliated investment manager.
• Implementing instructions by SMA Managers;
C. Execution Services
• Placing orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities in
accordance with the model portfolio recommendations of the
SMA Managers and/or communicating the orders for the
purchase and/or sale of securities through Edward Jones’
broker-dealer or 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);
• Aggregating orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities;
Edward Jones and, as applicable, an Executing SMA Manager
have discretion over your account to determine when and what
Eligible Investments, excluding Alternative Investments, to buy or
sell in accordance to the investment model you have selected or,
in the case of an Executing SMA Manager, their model portfolio
recommendations. Additionally, Edward Jones and, as applicable,
an Executing SMA Manager will determine what broker-dealer
will fulfill or execute the buy or sell orders generated for your
account.
• Placing orders for the purchase, sale or redemption of shares of
mutual funds and/or ETFs in accordance with the parameters
set by your investment model or as instructed by you;
• Rebalancing one or more Asset Allocation Categories or
Eligible Investments within your account back toward their
respective targets if, pursuant to parameters determined in the
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
investment guidelines set by Edward Jones, 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
For the buy and sell orders generated by Edward Jones, as
overlay manager, or an Executing SMA Manager for your
account, it is generally anticipated that these transactions will be
routed to and executed through Edward Jones’ broker-dealer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Edward Jones and an Executing
SMA Manager have an obligation to seek best execution for all
trades they create in your account, which means Edward Jones,
as overlay manager, and an Executing SMA Manager have full
authority to route and execute trades with those broker-dealers
that they believe are capable of providing the best qualitative
execution under the circumstances, even if such broker-dealers
are not Edward Jones. Factors that Edward Jones or an
Executing SMA Manager may consider when determining what
broker-dealer to route buy and sell orders for execution in your
account include: what, if any, additional trading costs will be
applied; the nature of the security; the size and type of
transaction; the nature and character of the markets involved; the

parties as well as foreign tax charges. All of these charges are in
addition to the Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee.
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. Edward Jones, as overlay
manager, and an Executing SMA Manager may consider different
factors or may place different weight on the factors it uses to
meet its best execution obligation. Edward Jones, as overlay
manager, and the Executing SMA Manager’s best execution
obligations do not require either to obtain the best price or the
lowest available cost of trade orders.
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, Edward Jones
may, and has at times, engaged in trading away. Please see
Edward Jones’ website at www.edwardjones.com/
advisorybrochures for more information and 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.
Edward Jones does not engage in soft-dollar arrangements;
however, the Executing SMA Managers participating in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models may direct transactions to brokers in
return for brokerage or research services. In certain instances, an
Executing SMA Manager engaged in soft-dollar arrangements
may pay a broker-dealer (other than Edward Jones) higher
commissions than what another broker-dealer adequately
qualified to effect such transactions would have charged, where
an 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 Executing SMA Manager to seek best execution
for trades in your account(s).
When Edward Jones, as a broker-dealer, executes a trade order
in your account, you will not be charged or pay additional costs
for the execution of such trade. For this reason, Edward Jones,
acting as overlay manager, and an Executing SMA Manager may
determine that Edward Jones’ execution capabilities as broker-
dealer provide the most favorable option for routing and
executing trade orders in your account. Alternatively, Edward
Jones, acting as overlay manager, or an Executing SMA Manager
may determine to execute trades with another broker-dealer if
either reasonably believes that a different broker-dealer can
obtain a more favorable execution than Edward Jones 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. When Edward Jones is
acting as executing broker, there may be times when we engage
in “principal transactions.” This means that we will fill your buy or
sell orders from our own inventory of securities. We will not
charge you a markup or markdown on these principal
transactions. However, if an 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 we are
permitted to do so under applicable law.
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. If this occurs with an Executing
SMA Manager, they will direct all trades and will instruct either
Edward Jones or another broker-dealer to execute those trades.
Edward Jones will engage in cross transactions only where
permitted to do so under applicable law.
An Executing SMA Manager may participate in other wrap fee
programs sponsored by firms other than Edward Jones. In
addition, an Executing SMA Manager 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
Executing SMA Managers’ client accounts through multiple
broker-dealers, an Executing SMA Manager may decide to
aggregate all such client transactions into a block trade that is
executed through one broker-dealer. This practice may enable
the Executing SMA Manager 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 Executing SMA Manager 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.
See below for information on how Edward Jones handles trade
allocations when they are acting as overlay manager and
broker-dealer.
If Edward Jones, acting as overlay manager, or an 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
Alternatively, an Executing SMA Manager may use a trade
rotation process where one group of the Executing SMA
Manager’s clients may have a transaction effected before or after
another group of clients. The Executing SMA Manager

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
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.
implements their trades with certain clients, custodians or
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 completed for your account near or at the end of the
Executing SMA Manager’s rotation, resulting in your account
bearing the market price impact, if any, of those trades executed
earlier in the rotation. This may result in you receiving a less
favorable net price for the trade. However, the Executing SMA
Manager’s 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 or an Executing SMA Manager, Edward
Jones will work to promptly correct the error while ensuring your
account is not disadvantaged.
Edward Jones and, as applicable, an Executing SMA Manager
will not aggregate or rotate trades for Custom Models with trades
for Research Models or FA Developed Models. Similarly, trades
resulting in the removal and replacement of an Eligible
Investment in the Program, will not result in Edward Jones or, as
applicable, the Executing SMA Manager, aggregating or rotating
trades for Custom Models with trades for Research Models or FA
Developed Models. 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 or FA Developed
Models. As a result, Research Models and FA Developed Models
may receive different prices than Custom Models.
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. When using an error
account, we engage in principal transactions. This means that we
will transact with you from our own inventory of securities. 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.
You should review each Executing 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 all SMA Managers, discretionary or non-
discretionary, can be found at www.advisorinfo.sec.gov.
An Executing SMA Manager is solely responsible for ensuring
they comply with their best execution obligations to you. You
should also inquire about an Executing SMA Manager’s 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.
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.
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.
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
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

assigned to your stated investment goal.
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
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
and concentration limits associated with a particular Alternative
Investment purchase request.
• Recommending an Alternative Investment purchase or sale for
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 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.
your consideration.
D. Alternative Investments and Associated Services Pilot

• Working with you and the appropriate transfer agent, as
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, 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.
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
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

you purchased outside of Edward Jones, even if such Alternative
Investment has been identified as an Eligible Investment within
the Program.
account to represent the value of the Alternative Investment
purchase or sale 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 the pending
transaction.
Required Eligible Investments Minimum. Edward Jones
requires that you meet a minimum of $300,000 in Eligible
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.
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.
• Invest the cash in your account that has been designated for
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.
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 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.
E. Custody, Trade Confirmations and Account Statements
• Provide the transfer agent and/or asset manager with the
completed Alternative Investment Documents and the cash
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-
dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets
in your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties
and responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones, as sub-
custodian.

accountfeatures.
• Collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales;
and
Please review your account statements carefully and notify
us immediately if you detect an error or a discrepancy.
• 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, In
the event Edward Jones is notified by a receiving firm that a
transfer of securities in your Advisory Solutions UMA Models
account is being rejected in part or whole by such receiving firm
Edward Jones will liquidate the rejected securities and transfer
the cash to such receiving firm..
Conversions can 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. Edward Jones partners 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 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 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.
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.
You are 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.

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.
For Alternative Investment(s), due to potential restrictions on
when 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.
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.
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.
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 Edward Jones or an Executing SMA Manager for execution by
broker-dealers other than Edward Jones (i.e., “step-out” trades).
The following section explains:

from the sale of your securities will be available upon settlement
of the trades generated to complete the liquidation. Edward
Jones or an Executing SMA Manager use multiple trading days
following the date after Edward Jones receives your liquidation
request to fully liquidate your securities if either Edward Jones or
the Executing SMA 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.
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. The Program Fee
is assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of 1.35%, payable
monthly in arrears.
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.
The Platform Fee
A Platform Fee is charged on accounts enrolled in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models for the support and maintenance of
accounts on the Edward Jones’ investment advisory platform,
such as trading and risk tools, training and education, and
ongoing platform development. This fee is in addition to the
Program Fee. The Platform Fee is assessed up to a maximum
annual fee rate of 0.05%, payable monthly in arrears.
If you terminate your participation in Advisory Solutions UMA
Models, and do not transfer the assets in your Advisory Solutions
UMA Models account to an Edward Jones account that is eligible
for the Reserve Line, the Reserve Line (if any) associated with
your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account will be terminated
by 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 Line Agreement for additional information.
G. Fees
How the Advisory Solutions Fund 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 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
Every Advisory Solutions UMA Models account pays asset-based
fees (referred to as your “Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee”).

annual fee rates (shown above), payable monthly in arrears.
Accounts with higher values generally pay lower fee rates than
accounts with lower values.
In addition, the Program Fee and/or Platform Fee may be lower
than the above stated maximum annual fee rate in the following
circumstances:
• 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.
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
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
Group upon request.
Other members of the Pricing Group will receive the same
disclosure upon request.
Your Pricing Group is based on the following criteria:
Affiliated Manager, there is no SMA Manager Fee charged by us
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 0.00% to 0.45%. 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.
1. Your single, joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan and IRA
accounts are grouped together if they are registered at the
same address and share one or more of the following: (a) the
same last name, (b) the same Social Security number, or (c)
the same Edward Jones Relationship Group. (If you have
worked with your financial advisor to group your account with
other accounts for the purpose of planning and establishing
financial goals, that is a Relationship Group. Your
Relationship Group may be the same as your Pricing Group.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any
questions about your Relationship Group.)
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
2. Your revocable trust accounts are grouped with your single,
joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan, IRA or other
revocable trust accounts if they are registered at the same
address and use the same tax ID number for tax reporting.
3. Your association, church, corporation, estate, irrevocable
trust, LLC, partnership and sole proprietorship accounts are
grouped with other accounts of the same type if they are
registered at the same address and use the same tax ID
number for tax reporting. These types of accounts will be
grouped with each other but not with other account types.
Additionally, accounts that do not meet the above criteria with
your account, but that meet the above criteria with another
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.
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.

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 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 contains a detailed
discussion of our affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds.
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). 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.
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.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund: JFC directly owns 100% of
Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), the
adviser of the 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 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.
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.
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.
How the Advisory Solutions Fund 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 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.
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
Page 17 of 32 IAS-6486AD-A-E-PB REV. JAN 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

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.
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.
Depending on your specific circumstances, including the intended
duration of the advance under the Reserve Line and the return
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
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.
on your account, over the long term it may cost you more to take
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.
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 investment model in which you invest. As a result, your
financial advisor does not have a financial incentive to
recommend one model over another.
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.
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).
Most financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward
Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which
includes domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu
of a trip. Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon
the amount of new and existing assets under care of a financial
advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
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
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.

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
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.

• We offer Research Models, FA Developed Models, and Custom
Models at an initial 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

Edward Jones and its affiliates may benefit from other
compensation as described in Item 9B under “Client Referrals

• We offer Research Models, FA Developed 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.
Portfolio Strategy Representative Compensation
Portfolio Strategy representatives receive a salary. Additionally,
these individuals receive periodic bonuses that take into account
various metrics including financial metrics such as the number of
clients enrolled in the Edward Jones Generations service
(“Generations”) and the amount you invest at Edward Jones,
including Advisory Solutions UMA Models, but the compensation
does not differ based on the type of product or service purchased
through Generations. Additionally, Portfolio Strategy
representatives receive firm profit-sharing distributions.
Comparing Costs, Expenses and Services
Your Advisory Solutions UMA Models Fee is a fee for investment
advisory, brokerage and custody services as described above
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

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.
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
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.
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. If after
your Advisory Solutions UMA Models account is opened 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 Model, FA Developed Model 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 Model, FA
Developed Model or Custom Model at the time of the transfer.
Any securities you transfer into your account that are not Eligible
Investments within your Research Model, FA Developed Model or
Custom Model will be liquidated and the proceeds invested as
described above.
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.
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.
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 (individually, “Benefit
Plan”) include pension or other employee benefit plans governed
by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, a tax-qualified retirement plan (including a Keogh plan,
an Edward Jones-sponsored Owner K® plan or a “single owner
401(k)” plan in which the only eligible plan participants are the
business owner and/or his or her spouse) under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE”) IRAs,
Simplified Employee Pension (“SEP”) IRAs, traditional IRAs
linked to an Edward Jones SEP IRA and other applicable
retirement plans.

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.
Liquidations of an affiliated mutual fund in a taxable account may
result in a taxable event.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and
Evaluation
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.
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.
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
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 at the
home office serve as portfolio managers for Research Models
and Edward Jones financial advisors, also supervised persons,
serve as portfolio managers for FA Developed 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:
• Key personnel changes;
• Deviations from its investment philosophy or mandate;
The remainder of this section provides additional information on
how Edward Jones selects, evaluates, and removes Eligible
Investments to and from the Program.
• Legal or regulatory concerns;
• Poor performance when compared to similar managers over a
market cycle; or
• Investment risk that has become misaligned to Edward Jones’
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 or an FA Developed
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
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

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).
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
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.
• A decision by Edward Jones to reduce our ownership level of a
fund
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
transfer your entire Advisory Solutions UMA Models account to a
Limited Services Account. For more information on a Limited
Services Account, see Item 4.F – Termination of Advisory
Solutions UMA Models Services.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Affiliated mutual funds generally will not be removed from the list
of Eligible Investments. However, as multi-manager funds, the
above 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:
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.
(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.
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.
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.
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.
PAGE 22 OF 32 IAS-6486AE-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

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.
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.
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, as applicable, Part 3 Client
Relationship Summaries of the Edward Jones Overlay
Management Services 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
Share Classes. Unaffiliated mutual funds used in Advisory
Solutions UMA Models can have different share classes. While
PAGE 23 OF 32 IAS-6486AE-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

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.
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.
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.
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.
Each Fund’s prospectus and other fund documents describe the
risks specific to the fund.
Alternative Investments Risk. Alternative Investments have
unique and different risks than other investments, including:
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
associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
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
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.
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).
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.
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
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
PAGE 24 OF 32 IAS-6486AE-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
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.
For more information about tax-efficient management, including
tax loss harvesting, see the Edward Jones Overlay Management
Services Form ADV brochure available at www.edwardjones.
com/advisory- prospectus/brochures.html.
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.
Multi-Year Transition Service Risks. Enrolling in the Multi-Year
Transition Service gives rise to additional risks and limitations
that would not otherwise exist if you did not use the Multi-Year
Transition Service, including:
By not promptly selling and reinvesting your Participating Assets
at funding, your investment allocation, risk exposure (e.g.,
volatility) and account performance during the Transition Period
will differ from your Target Portfolio. The delayed sale of such
assets creates risks during the Transition Period of misalignment
of your Account with the target asset allocation as well as
increased tracking error and volatility.
There is no guarantee by participating in the Multi-Year Transition
Service that you will benefit as anticipated from this service,
including, but not limited to, the potential benefits of spreading
capital gains over multiple tax years.
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, Edward Jones relies on various
assumptions about the tax posture of a typical investor. Those
assumptions may not correspond to your actual situation. In
addition, we only consider 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.
The use of a Transition Period to transition assets to your Target
Portfolio can result in your Account not receiving the benefit of
rebalancing, tax loss harvesting, and/or other services set forth
throughout the Brochure at the same time intervals that would
have been effected if your Participating Assets had been sold and
reinvested promptly after funding. By delaying the sale of
Participating Assets through use of the Multi-Year Transition
Service, Edward Jones will not be able to manage tracking error
to the same extent that the sale of Participating Assets and
prompt alignment with your Target Portfolio would permit. As a
result, volatility in your Account can be higher than if the
Transition Service was not used. Any tax benefits resulting from
the Multi-Year Transition Service can be exceeded or outweighed
by investment losses and/or missed gains (realized and
unrealized) that result from a delayed move to your Target
Portfolio.
The timing of the sale of Participating Assets from your Account
can be impacted by market conditions.
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 Edward Jones sells that same
security. In that case, the loss may be deferred or disallowed.
Edward Jones does not provide any assurances that wash sales
will not occur. In some cases, we 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 management offered by Edward
Jones for the Eligible Investments we manage, including through
such methods as tax loss harvesting, in reducing your overall tax
liability, will depend on your entire tax and investment profile.
In certain markets the growth of your portfolio can cause gains in
excess of those in existence at the beginning of the Transition
Period and therefore gains realized over the course of the
Transition Period can exceed the total gains that existed at the
beginning of the Transition Period or the total gains anticipated at
the beginning of the Transition Period. For example, if the price of
one or more Participating Assets increases, particularly those
already at outsized positions relative to the target asset allocation
for your Account and/or at the outset of the Transition Period, the
gains realized will likely exceed your gains that were present at
the outset of the transition.- Conversely, declines in the price of
one or more Participating Assets can result in the sale of the
Participating Assets in less time than originally planned (e.g.,
over fewer tax periods than intended).
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.
Changes to your Target Portfolio, withdrawals you make from
your Account, market movement, changes to your Account
Portfolio Objective, and/or depositing new securities into your
PAGE 25 OF 32 IAS-6486AE-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
Account, amongst other things, can impact the ability of the
Multi-Year Transition Service to transition your assets in
alignment with your initial Transition Plan and can require a
reassessment of your Transition Plan to determine feasibility of
transitioning the remaining assets.
In the event you seek to withdraw funds from your Account during
the Transition Period, depending on the size of the withdrawal,
capital gains can be realized to a degree that reduces the ability
to spread capital gains over multiple tax years.
The methods, processes, quantitative tools, and algorithms used
by Edward Jones to perform the Multi-Year Transition Service
can perform differently than expected due to errors, flaws, or
being incomplete if such issues are not identified. This can have
an adverse effect on investment performance and result in
adverse tax consequences.
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.
Funding your Account with Participating Assets that are sold on a
delayed basis through the Multi-Year Transition Service can
result in your Account being invested in a concentrated number
or type of securities during the Transition Period. If your Account
is invested in a concentrated number of securities, a decline in
the value of these securities would cause the value of your
Account to decline to a greater degree than that of a less
concentrated portfolio.
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.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
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.
Tailoring Advisory Services to Clients
See Item 4.A. above for a description of how we tailor our
advisory services to you and how you can impose reasonable
restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Reserve Line Risk. Our financial advisors provide information
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

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.
We also act as an investment adviser in other advisory programs
where we provide different services. Additional information is

Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio
Managers
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 Executing SMA
Managers who are authorized to execute transactions to the
extent necessary for the Executing SMA Managers to manage
the account (or any portion thereof).
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 applicable
Executing SMA Manager(s) as necessary to continue managing
your account.
Proxy Voting
As a registered investment adviser, Edward Jones will vote
proxies received for the Eligible Investments they manage
(except for Benefit Plan accounts opened on or after January 2,
2026) in accordance with applicable laws and has a fiduciary duty
to vote those proxies in a timely manner and in our clients’ best
interests, even if our clients’ best interest is in conflict with our
interests. If you transfer non-Eligible Investment investments to
open or fund an Advisory Solutions UMA Models account,
Edward Jones may also vote proxies for those securities if the
date of record occurs before the securities are liquidated. When
you invest in Advisory Solutions UMA Models, you delegate the
right to vote on these securities to Edward Jones and cannot
direct or recommend how we will vote. By delegating proxy
authority, you also authorize Edward Jones to receive all proxy-
related materials, annual and semi-annual reports, and other
shareholder materials, including corporate actions, arising from
any Eligible Investments being managed in your account.
Edward Jones has hired an independent third-party proxy voting
service to assist us in evaluating and voting proxies in a way that
follows our adopted policies and guidelines. We have established
policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that proxies
are voted in a manner that is consistent with our clients’ best
interest. Further, certain independent shareholder rights available
to you as an individual may not be exercised or effectuated when
you delegate proxy authority to Edward Jones.
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 SMA Managers or the sub-advisers of the
affiliated mutual funds, or asset manager or transfer agent of an
Alternative Investment. If you have a complex or non-routine
question, Edward Jones will communicate with these third-party
providers on your behalf.
You can receive a copy of proxy-related materials, Edward Jones’
proxy voting policy and procedures, voting guidelines and/or
proxy voting record by submitting a written request to:

Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
If you want to retain your right to vote proxies, you must inform
Edward Jones that we are not to vote on your behalf. Benefit
Plan accounts opened on or after January 2, 2026, for which we
will not vote proxies, and those clients who wish to retain their
right to vote proxies will then continue to receive all materials and
notices from Edward Jones or the applicable mutual fund
company and will be responsible for voting on the issues that the
fund companies raise. We will not provide recommendations or
advice on how to vote on these issues.
Disciplinary Information
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.

Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without

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
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports
that were misleading. FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had
made changes to enhance its supervisory processes. As part of
the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of
$725,000.
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.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation.
On December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely, and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
during the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal
controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.
State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration. On
January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January
2015 through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least
one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. §
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), 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.
1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without admitting or denying the findings in the
Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
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
considering revenue sharing from existing business relationships
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent

Missouri captive insurance company..
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.
B. 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
• 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
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
recommendations that may differ from advice given to you while
participating in Advisory Solutions UMA Models.
• 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Edward Jones owns directly or indirectly 100% of three insurance
agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance
Agency of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited
liability company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of
California, L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”)
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.
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 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 can 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
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.

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Item 4: Advisory Services
Edward Jones is a registered broker-dealer and investment
adviser. This brochure (“Brochure”) provides clients (“client,”
“you” or “your”) with information about Edward Jones Branch
Office Financial Planning Services (“Branch Office Financial
Planning Services”), which is an investment advisory service.
Services to you. Your Financial Advisor’s team can include other
branch office based Financial Advisors, Associate Financial
Advisors and/or other licensed personnel as well as, in the case
of the Point in Time Financial Planning Service (as described
below), home office based licensed personnel such as Wealth
Strategists. References to your “Financial Advisor” in this
Brochure include your Financial Advisor’s team.
You should read this Brochure carefully and consult with your tax
professional before you decide to engage Edward Jones for
Branch Office Financial Planning Services.
Edward Jones and its Financial Advisors act in the capacity of an
investment adviser, and not a broker, when gathering information
from you to create and discuss your plan. By providing Branch
Office Financial Planning Services, neither Edward Jones nor its
Financial Advisors or other personnel are acting as a fiduciary
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(“ERISA”) or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Edward Jones separately offers other financial planning services
to certain high-net-worth clients enrolled in its Edward Jones
Generations offering (“Generations Financial Planning”).
Additionally, Edward Jones offers other investment advisory
services (“Advisory Programs”) as well as separate brokerage
services. The separate Generations Financial Planning service,
Advisory Programs, and brokerage services are not described in
this brochure and are not part of the Branch Office Financial
Planning Services. Certain programs or offerings are only
available through select financial advisors. You can obtain
disclosure brochures about our other advisory services at
edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures and our brokerage services
at edwardjones.com/brokerageinformation.
The decision to engage in Branch Office Financial Planning
Services is yours. Before making this decision, you should
determine whether the Branch Office Financial Planning Services
are appropriate for your investment goals or needs. If you decide
to engage in Branch Office Financial Planning Services, we will
not begin providing you with such services until our acceptance
and approval of a written agreement between you and Edward
Jones (“Financial Planning Services Agreement”). In evaluating
whether to enroll in Branch Office Financial Planning Services
at Edward Jones, you should consider a number of factors,
including that you may be able to obtain some or all of the
same services through another investment adviser.
Edward Jones currently provides two types of Branch Office
Financial Planning Services: (1) the Point in Time Planning
Service; and (2) the Ongoing Financial Planning Service.
Because the Branch Office Financial Planning Services is an
investment advisory service offered by Edward Jones as an
SEC-registered adviser, 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
Branch Office Financial Planning Services to you. Other services
you obtain through Edward Jones, including other investment
advisory and brokerage services, are separate and distinct from
Branch Office Financial Planning Services 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.
Overview of the Point in Time Financial
Planning Service
While there are no specific minimum asset requirements to obtain
the Point in Time Financial Planning Service, certain criteria such
as whether you participate in an Edward Jones Advisory Program
may determine your eligibility for the Point in Time Financial
Planning Service. The Point in Time Financial Planning Service is
currently offered on a limited basis through a limited number of
Financial Advisors.
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.
The Branch Office Financial Planning Services
The Branch Office Financial Planning Services are provided by
Edward Jones as a registered investment adviser through its
financial advisors (“Financial Advisors”). Some Financial Advisors
are part of a team, and in such cases, other Financial Advisors
and other licensed professionals that are part of your Financial
Advisor’s team may act on your Financial Advisor’s behalf from
time to time in providing Branch Office Financial Planning
The Point in Time Financial Planning Service includes one or
more consultations with your Financial Advisor who will analyze
your situation and provide a personalized financial plan
(“Financial Plan”) to you, which addresses, at a minimum, the
following components: (1) goal planning, (2) cash and income
planning, (3) portfolio and investment allocation, (4) risk and
protection, and (5) estate and wealth transfer. The Financial Plan
is based on information and documentation that you provide
relating to your financial situation, investment objectives and
goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and other pertinent factors. To
obtain your Financial Plan, you must provide the requested
information to us and attend a consultation or consultations with
your Financial Advisor to provide or verify any requested
information and documentation. Edward Jones and its Financial
Advisors will rely on the information and documentation you
provide to create your Financial Plan and will not independently

verify such information and documentation.
relationship with your Financial Advisor which enables you to
consult with your Financial Advisor about your Financial Plan as
needed and revise your Financial Plan as needed based on
changes to your Investment Profile or other information you
communicate to your Financial Advisor (and/or members of your
Financial Advisor’s team). Edward Jones and its Financial
Advisors will rely on the information and documentation you
provide initially to create your initial Financial Plan and thereafter
to review and update your Financial Plan.
Upon your enrollment in the Ongoing Financial Planning Service,
you will receive written confirmation of your enrollment in the
Ongoing Financial Planning Service, the estimated renewal date
for your Financial Plan (“Renewal Date”) and the annual fee you
will pay for the service on your Renewal Date.
You will receive written notice of the Annual Fee prior to the date
the Annual Fee will be charged to you. Please contact your
Financial Advisor or Edward Jones if you do not receive the
written notice prior to your Renewal Date.
The Point in Time Financial Planning Service is provided on a
discrete basis and at a point in time and does not involve ongoing
advice. This means the Point in Time Financial Planning Service
is provided to you based on your needs at a particular point in
time and there is no ongoing monitoring of your situation or
needs. Edward Jones, your Financial Advisor and other Edward
Jones personnel will not monitor your Financial Plan, your
progress toward an investment goal or update any financial
planning analysis on an ongoing basis, and will not ensure, in
any way, that you follow through with any recommendations
made in your Financial Plan. It is important for you to monitor
your personal situation and current events, such as changes in
tax laws and financial markets. You should consult with your tax
advisor or CPA on all tax-related matters and with your attorney
on all legal matters before taking any action suggested in the
Financial Plan. Edward Jones reserves the right to limit, modify
or discontinue offering the Point in Time Financial Planning
Service at any time.
Your participation in the Point in Time Financial Planning Service
will terminate automatically upon the delivery of the completed
Financial Plan to you. You, Edward Jones or your Financial
Advisor may terminate your participation in the Point in Time
Financial Planning Service prior to your receipt of the completed
Financial Plan at any time. If either you, your Financial Advisor or
Edward Jones provides written notice of termination, you will no
longer receive the Point in Time Financial Planning Service as of
the date of termination.
Overview of the Ongoing Financial
Planning Service
To be eligible for the Ongoing Financial Planning Service, you
must have at least $250,000 enrolled in one or more Edward
Jones Advisory Program(s) or be a member of a Planning Group
(as defined below) where all members of the Planning Group are
Edward Jones clients and at least one member of the Planning
Group has at least $250,000 enrolled in one or more Edward
Jones Advisory Program(s). This asset threshold is used for
purposes of determining eligibility for the Ongoing Financial
Planning Service only and the advice and recommendations you
receive through the Ongoing Financial Planning Service are
separate from the advice and recommendations provided through
the Advisory Program services you receive.
Each Financial Plan you receive as part of the Ongoing Financial
Planning Service, both initially and thereafter, is current as of the
date set forth on the Financial Plan. While you have ongoing
access to your Financial Advisor to revisit your Financial Plan in
exchange for the fees described herein, Edward Jones, your
Financial Advisor and other Edward Jones personnel will not
continuously monitor your Financial Plan nor update your
Financial Plan unless you direct it to be updated. Rather, your
Financial Plan generally will be updated annually, or at such time
as you direct it to be updated, based on information you disclose
to your Financial Advisor, such as updates to your Investment
Profile, progress toward your identified investment goals or
changes to your goals as well as updates to any financial
planning analysis in your Financial Plan(s). While it is anticipated
that you will receive an updated Financial Plan at least once per
year, in limited instances at your or your Financial Advisor’s
request, the delivery date for an annual Financial Plan may be
extended (a “Plan Delivery Extension”). Typically, a Plan Delivery
Extension will not extend more than three (3) months into next
occurring annual period. For example, during a Plan Delivery
Extension, an annual Financial Plan due to be delivered by
January 31, 2026 may instead be delivered to you by April 30,
2026. In the event of a Plan Delivery Extension, your next annual
Financial Plan typically will be delivered by the end of the same
annual period (i.e., using the foregoing example, your next
annual plan typically will be delivered by January 31, 2027). The
Annual Fee will continue to be charged to you as set forth in Item
5 regardless of the Plan Delivery Extension.
It is important for you to monitor your personal situation and
current events, such as changes in tax laws and financial
markets. You should consult with your tax advisor or CPA on all
tax-related matters and with your attorney on all legal matters
before taking any action suggested in the Financial Plan.
The Ongoing Financial Planning Service includes a completed
Financial Plan, and periodic updates to the Financial Plan
(generally, at least once per year), which address at a minimum,
the following components: (1) goal planning, (2) cash and income
planning, (3) portfolio and investment allocation, (4) risk and
protection, and (5) estate and wealth transfer, and is based on
one or more consultations with your Financial Advisor (and/or
members of your Financial Advisor’s team) and the information
and documentation you provide relating to your financial
situation, investment objective and goals, time horizon, risk
tolerance and other pertinent factors (collectively, your
“Investment Profile”). In addition, you will receive an ongoing
You may terminate the Ongoing Financial Planning Service by
providing written notice to your Financial Advisor. Edward Jones
reserves the right to limit, modify or discontinue offering the
Ongoing Financial Planning Service upon written notice to

enrolled clients. Please see Item 5 below and the Financial
Planning Services Agreement for information on the
circumstances under which Edward Jones will refund the Annual
Fee to you in the event you terminate the service or Edward
Jones discontinues the service.
Implementation. Each Financial Plan you receive through the
Branch Office Financial Planning Services provides general asset
allocation guidance. Implementation, or execution, of the asset
allocation guidance and other recommendations contained in the
Financial Plan(s) you receive is not part of Branch Office
Financial Planning Services. You should carefully consider all
relevant factors before deciding how or whether to implement the
asset allocation guidance and recommendations contained in the
Financial Plan(s). Any asset allocation guidance shown in the
Financial Plan(s) could differ from the actual allocation provided
through Edward Jones Advisory Programs and/or brokerage
services. You are also not obligated to use Edward Jones or its
Financial Advisors to implement your Financial Plan. If you
choose to implement some or all of your Financial Plan through
Edward Jones, you will have the option of investing through a
commission-based brokerage account, a fee-based investment
advisory account or both. Edward Jones will act as a broker-
dealer or investment adviser depending on the products and
services you select. Details about brokerage and investment
advisory offerings, including charges, fees and expenses
associated with them, are set forth in other agreements and
disclosures available through your financial advisor and at
edwardjones.com/disclosures.
The Financial Plan
Scope of the Financial Plan. Each Financial Plan you receive,
either through the Point in Time Financial Planning Service or the
Ongoing Financial Planning Service, generally will address goal
identification and prioritization, the estimated probability of
reaching your identified goal(s), cash and income planning,
portfolio and investment allocation, and risk and protection
planning considerations. Depending on the complexity of your
financial situation, a Financial Plan may also help you evaluate
financial needs such as retirement income, college savings,
wealth protection, employee benefits planning (e.g., equity
compensation arrangements), and tax or estate planning
considerations. Although you may be provided with certain
tax-related or estate planning-related information, Edward Jones
and your Financial Advisor do not give tax or legal advice. Each
Financial Plan also will suggest a general asset allocation based
on your stated risk tolerance, age, investment time horizon and
experience. Each Financial Plan is current as of the date
specified on the report provided.
Groupings. In some cases, the Financial Plan(s) you receive
through the Branch Office Financial Planning Services can
address the combined needs of a group of individuals (a
“Planning Group”), inclusive of your identified planning needs and
the identified planning needs of the other members of the
Planning Group. If you qualify for Branch Office Financial
Planning Services at the Planning Group level and desire to
obtain such services, you and the other members of the Planning
Group also must each enter into a Financial Planning Services
Agreement and all members of the Planning Group, including
you, must consent to share certain personal and financial
information with your Financial Advisor(s), and the other
members of the Planning Group.
If you invest through a brokerage account, you pay commissions
and other charges (such as sales loads on mutual funds) at the
time of each individual securities transaction. As a result, this
type of account may be more appropriate than an investment
advisory services account if you do not expect to trade on a
regular basis and do not want ongoing investment advice on
assets held in an investment advisory services account(s). For
investment advisory services accounts, you pay an ongoing
asset-based fee (rather than a commission on each individual
transaction) for investment advisory services such as investment
selection, asset allocation, execution of transactions, custody of
securities and account reporting services. The asset-based fee is
assessed monthly, in arrears. As a result, an investment advisory
services account may be more appropriate than a brokerage
account if you want ongoing investment advice and expect to
trade more frequently. Edward Jones is the sponsor, broker and
investment adviser for a variety of Advisory Programs. Your
Financial Advisor may not offer all Advisory Programs at Edward
Jones. Please speak with your Financial Advisor for more
information on these separate services. Additionally, the analysis
in the Financial Plan related to accounts that you hold outside of
Edward Jones (“Outside Accounts”) is limited to general asset
allocation guidance and does not include specific investment
recommendations. Edward Jones and its Financial Advisors do
not provide advice or specific investment recommendations on
Outside Accounts. Edward Jones and its Financial Advisors are
under no obligation to take into account information about your
Outside Accounts when providing other brokerage and/or
advisory services to you, including but not limited to services
provided in connection with your implementation of the Financial
Plan.
There may be limitations, as determined by Edward Jones,
regarding the number of people in a Planning Group, Additionally,
if you have separately directed Edward Jones to group your
Edward Jones accounts together with accounts owned by others
for the sole purpose of sharing financial and nonpublic personal
information in furtherance of planning for financial goals and/or
investing (collectively, a “Relationship Group”), then personal and
financial information about you, including but not limited to
information obtained or used for purposes of the Branch Office
Financial Planning Services and your Financial Plan(s), will be
shared with and accessible to each Relationship Group member
and each authorized party of the grouped accounts. Your
Relationship Group may include more members and authorized
parties than your Planning Group. The members and authorized
parties of your Relationship Group will be reflected on the
account statements you receive from Edward Jones or, if you do
not have an account at Edward Jones, through separate
correspondence you receive from Edward Jones.

you on or prior to each successive Renewal Date. In the event
Edward Jones increases the Annual Fee, the change will be
subject to the notice and consent provisions set forth in the
Financial Planning Services Agreement. Depending on when you
enroll, different payment options may be available to you,
including, but not necessarily limited to, paying in quarterly
installments. Your method of payment will be selected when you
sign the Authorization and Agreement Form. If you elect to pay
the Annual Fee in quarterly installments per annum, the fee must
be deducted from an eligible account held at Edward Jones.
Customized Advisory Services
The Financial Plan will cover the topics discussed above in Item
4.B. to the extent applicable to your circumstances. The Financial
Plan will be customized to your individual needs and
circumstances. As described above, we rely on the information
and documentation you provide to create your Financial Plan.
This information and documentation will be the factual basis in
forming your Financial Plan. The information gathered during the
financial planning process will not be used to make investment
recommendations in any Edward Jones accounts.

If your participation in the Ongoing Financial Planning Service is
terminated by you or Edward Jones, you will not be entitled to a
refund of any fees paid to Edward Jones for an annual period in
which you have received a completed Financial Plan, inclusive of
a Plan Extension Delivery if applicable. If you have not yet
received a completed Financial Plan for a current annual period
and have paid some or all of your Annual Fee already, you may
be entitled to a refund of the fees paid during the active planning
year if your Financial Advisor has not completed at least three of
the five components of your annual Financial Plan described in
Item 4A. above. The amount of such a refund will be at the
discretion of Edward Jones. If your annual Financial Plan is
subject to a Plan Delivery Extension and you have not received a
completed Financial Plan by the end of the Plan Delivery
Extension period, regardless of whether at least three of the five
components have been completed, Edward Jones will refund the
amount of the Annual Fee you have paid during such annual
period inclusive of the Plan Delivery Extension period.

Jones. While the maximum fee for each Branch Office Financial

Agreement Form (“Authorization and Agreement Form”) that you
sign at the time of enrollment.
Point in Time Financial Planning Service Fee. The maximum fee
for the Point in Time Financial Planning Service is $3600 but may

available to you. Your method of payment will be selected when

Other Investment Products
Edward Jones generally pays a portion of the fees described
above to your Financial Advisor. Additionally, as described above,
the Branch Office Financial Planning Services do not include
specific investment recommendations or implementation of the
guidance or other recommendations provided in the Financial
Plan. If you choose to implement your Financial Plan through
Edward Jones by purchasing, selling or enrolling in products and
services available through Edward Jones, your purchase, sale or
enrollment in such products and services will result in revenue to
Edward Jones and its affiliates. You will pay the fees and costs
associated with the purchase or sale of such products and
services. Additionally, your Financial Advisor may recommend
that you purchase, sell or enroll in products and services
available through Edward Jones. Such recommendations are not

Results in your Financial Plan are also derived from Monte Carlo
simulations. This simulation model calculates numerous possible
outcomes to help forecast events and investment performance.

than shown in your Financial Plan.
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. Please refer to the “Understanding how
we are compensated for financial services” document found at
edwardjones.com/compensation for more information about how
Edward Jones, its Financial Advisors and affiliates are
compensated. Wealth Strategists are compensated through
salary, bonuses and profit-sharing distributions based on the
profitability of the firm.
Risk of Loss
Your financial and personal situation will change over time,
including as you approach your financial goals, and you should
revisit your Financial Plan and the asset allocation for your
accounts periodically in light of changes in your circumstances
and financial situation. The Branch Office Financial Planning
Services do not include monitoring, implementing or updating the
advice or investment strategies recommended in your Financial
Plan on an ongoing basis. It is your responsibility to diligently
review your Financial Plan periodically and make changes to your
investment strategy, including rebalancing your investments as
needed to meet your portfolio objectives.

other investment advisers. As such, you should consider that the
fees you pay for such products and services at Edward Jones
may be lower or higher than if purchased through another
financial institution.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-
by-Side Management
Edward Jones and its supervised persons do not receive
performance-based fees in connection with this service.
Item 7: Types of Clients
There is no guarantee that you will meet your goals or the
expected returns if you invest based on the recommendations in
your Financial Plan. All investment strategies and investments
involve risk. Any advice or recommendations provided within your
Financial Plan, if implemented, may result in one or more
accounts being 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 investment objectives will be
achieved.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Generally, the Branch Office Financial Planning Services are
available only to residents of the United States and certain U.S.
territories.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss

regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Edward Jones collects information from you such as your goals
and purpose for investing, assets, risk tolerance, time horizon
(time frame over which you will be accumulating and/or
distributing your investments), and other personal and financial
information. This information is used in our financial planning
software and analytical tools to help create your Financial Plan.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
The analysis contained in your Financial Plan is based on
Edward Jones’ long-term capital market assumptions for each
asset class. This includes an analysis of historical trends and our
global outlook to assist in projecting long-term expected
investment performance. Our capital market assumptions include
estimates for the risk and return of each asset class, and how
asset classes may perform in relation to one another. They are
developed by a team of investment professionals through a
variety of quantitative modeling techniques and qualitative
insights and are subject to change over time based on our
analytical judgment. Our asset class capital market assumptions
are used to derive the strategic asset allocation guidance and
performance expectations used within your Financial Plan.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection

“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.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation.
On December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
during the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal
controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.

State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration. On
January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania

2015 through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least
one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. §

investment products through Edward Jones. Accordingly, we will
offer you the option to implement your Financial Plan through

SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent
compliance consultant to assess the firm’s policies and systems
regarding electronic communications recordkeeping and assist
Edward Jones in further enhancing those policies and systems.
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families that may be
recommended if you implement your Financial Plan with Edward
Jones. Edward Jones receives revenue sharing payments from
certain unaffiliated mutual fund families on client assets. “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 creates a conflict of interest in the form of
additional financial benefits to us, our Financial Advisors and equity
owners. For more information regarding revenue sharing, please
visit edwardjones.com/disclosures or request a revenue sharing
disclosure document from your Edward Jones financial advisor.
The following summarizes Edward Jones’ material relationships or
arrangements with other entities that participate in the financial
industry.

Point in Time Financial Planning Service. Your Financial Plan will
not be periodically reviewed or monitored by your Financial
Advisor on an ongoing basis. After your Financial Plan is
delivered to you, it is your responsibility to periodically review
your plan and it is your choice whether to implement any or all of
your plan.
Item 11: 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:
Ongoing Financial Planning Service. As described in Item 4, after
you receive your initial Financial Plan, your Financial Advisor will
attempt to set up a consultation with you annually to revisit your
Financial Plan. Neither your Financial Advisor nor Edward Jones
will independently review or monitor your Financial Plan on an
ongoing basis as described in Item 4.
• Act with integrity and in an ethical manner with you and all of
our clients
• Place your and all of our clients’ interests first
After your Financial Plan(s) are delivered to you, initially and with
each time thereafter, it is your responsibility to periodically review
your current plan and it is your choice whether to implement any
or all of your plan.
• 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
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
• 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
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

implement some or all of your Financial Plan through Edward
Jones, your assets will be held at Edward Jones as a broker-
dealer or Edward Jones Trust Company, depending on the type
of account(s).
If you implement your Financial Plan through existing accounts at
Edward Jones, or open accounts at Edward Jones to implement
your Financial Plan, please review your account statements
carefully and notify us immediately if you detect an error or a
discrepancy.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
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 Annual 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.
Edward Jones does not have investment discretion as part of the
Branch Office Financial Planning Services. Neither Edward Jones
nor its Financial Advisors will act upon such recommendations or
advice resulting from the Financial Plan unless requested by you
to do so. If you choose to implement your Financial Plan with
Edward Jones, you can do so in one or more brokerage or
advisory accounts. If you decide to implement your plan in one of
Edward Jones’ discretionary Advisory Programs, you will be
giving Edward Jones discretionary investment and trading
authority over such account(s). Refer to the specific Advisory
Program brochures for more detail at edwardjones.com/
advisorybrochures.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Edward Jones does not vote client securities as part of the
Branch Office Financial Planning Services.
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.
Item 18: Financial Information
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Item 19: Requirements for State-Registered
Advisers
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones 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 can influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors
(or their investment advisers) 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 also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and generally share in the
cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into any
agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its investment adviser
or its distributors or affiliates providing for payment of such
expenses as a condition of inclusion on the list of available
investments offered by Edward Jones. Our Financial Advisors are
not allowed to consider a product partner’s sponsorship of a
marketing activity when providing advice or making any
recommendation.

• Are at ease with a Financial Advisor making day-to-day

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 the Edward Jones
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions® account, the fees charged
for our services and our business practices. You should read this
Brochure carefully and consult with your tax professional before
you decide to invest in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions.
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 through
Edward Jones or another broker-dealer or investment adviser.
Other advisory programs offered through Edward Jones are not
described in this Brochure. These programs offer different
services and investments and some 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
Edward Jones financial advisor (“Financial Advisor”) or go to
www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures to review the
brochures for the available advisory programs.
Because Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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 Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions to you. Other services you obtain
through Edward Jones, including other investment advisory and
brokerage services, are separate and distinct from Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions 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.
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.
You should consider that, depending on the circumstances, the
aggregate fees you will pay for investing in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions may be lower or higher than if you purchased
the investments or services separately at Edward Jones or
through another broker-dealer or investment adviser. Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions 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. For example, the Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions Fee described below will reduce the
return you earn on investments held in your account. If the
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee exceeds the overall
return on your investments, you will experience negative
performance in your account. Additionally, it typically will cost you
more, and Edward Jones and its Financial Advisors will receive
more revenue, when you hold duration-based investments to
maturity or over time in a Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
account rather than in a commission-based brokerage account at
Edward Jones (e.g., CDs, bonds and cash equivalents).
As of December 31, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $ 578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary
assets across all of our advisory programs.
The decision to invest in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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.
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Overview
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions is a discretionary advisory
program sponsored by Edward Jones designed to provide the
client with ongoing investment advice, guidance and services for
an asset- based fee. Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
permits investment in various eligible investments (as defined
and described more fully below under “Eligible Investments”),
including eligible stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), bonds, CDs and cash equivalents.
Before investing in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, you
should decide if you are comfortable delegating the day-to-day
management of your account. Investors in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions typically:
When you enroll in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, you

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.
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 (your “Account
Portfolio Objective”). 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”).
grant Edward Jones the authority to exercise investment and
trading discretion for your enrolled account as described more
fully below under “Investment and Trading Discretion.” Your
Financial Advisor will exercise this authority over your account as
an investment adviser representative of Edward Jones and is
your primary point of contact for Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions. Some Financial Advisors are part of a team, and in
such cases, other Financial Advisors and other licensed
professionals that are part of your Financial Advisor’s team may
act on your Financial Advisor’s behalf from time to time. Such
services include but are not limited to exercising investment and
trading discretion for your account as investment adviser
representatives of Edward Jones. Accordingly, with respect to
granting Edward Jones discretionary authority in Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions, references to your “Financial
Advisor” in this Brochure include your Financial Advisor’s team.
Additionally, there may be circumstances where Edward Jones’
home office may take action with respect to your account,
including but not limited to exercising investment and trading
discretion for your account, where required to take such action
under Edward Jones’ policies and procedures.
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. Edward
Jones will have no authority to change your Account Portfolio
Objective without your instruction. To change your Account
Portfolio Objective, you must meet with your Financial Advisor to
select a new Account Portfolio Objective.
If you decide to invest in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions,
we will not begin providing you advisory services until (a) our
acceptance and approval of a written Client Services Agreement
(“CSA”) between you and Edward Jones, and (b) funding of the
account at the initial minimum investment as determined by
Edward Jones. Your grant of discretionary authority over your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account to Edward Jones
means that your Financial Advisor (and your Financial Advisor’s
team to the extent your Financial Advisor is part of a team) and
Edward Jones’ home office will have the authority to buy and sell
investments for your account on an ongoing basis and take other
trading actions without first consulting with you for so long as you
are enrolled in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions as described
more fully below under “Investment and Trading Discretion.”
Your Account Portfolio Objective determines the recommended
asset allocation and investment category ranges (“Target
Ranges”). In addition, Edward Jones’ applies certain guidelines
designed to monitor your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
account for alignment with your Account Portfolio Objective
(“Investment Diagnostics”). The Investment Diagnostics pertain to
certain factors including, but not limited to, asset allocation,
security and equity sector concentration, bond diversification and
fixed-income laddering. One or more Investment Diagnostics
assess holdings in your other Edward Jones accounts, if any,
assigned to the same goal as your Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions account. Please contact your Financial Advisor to learn
more about how Investment Diagnostics help you achieve your
financial goals. The recommended Target Ranges, as well as
Investment Diagnostics, are determined solely by Edward Jones
and can be modified by Edward Jones without prior notice.
Account Portfolio Objectives in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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.
Edward Jones retains the authority to remove your Financial
Advisor at any time from Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. In
such event, we will attempt to contact you and will offer, subject to
your direction and consent, to transfer your account to another
advisory program offered by Edward Jones. If you decide to enroll
in a new advisory program, you may be required to complete and
execute additional documents and agreements to enroll in the new
advisory program and you will be subject to the terms and
conditions and fee schedule applicable to the new advisory
program. If we are unable to contact you or you fail to respond to
our offer within a reasonable period of time, we may elect to
terminate your account (see “Termination of your Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions account” for more information).
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing
modest current interest income. Over the long term, it should
have higher risk than portfolios with a more income-oriented
objective.
Selecting Your Account Portfolio Objective. In order to invest
in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, you will complete a
Client Profile that contains important information about your
account, which generally includes either your goal or purpose for
investing and your investment time horizon, risk tolerance and
other financial information. Your time horizon will reflect the
expected time frame over which you plan to invest (and
Balanced toward Growth: This portfolio objective emphasizes
higher long-term growth and rising dividend potential, with a
secondary goal of current interest income. Over the long term, it
Page 4 of 22 IAS-17188H-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

should have moderate to higher risk.
Balanced Growth & Income: This portfolio objective has a
balanced emphasis between current interest income and
long-term growth with rising dividend potential. Over the long
term, it should have moderate risk.
Balanced toward Income: This portfolio objective emphasizes
current interest income while providing modest long-term growth
and rising dividend potential. Over the long term, it should have
lower to moderate risk.
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.
Edward Jones constructs and periodically reviews the
recommended Target Ranges for each Account Portfolio
Objective in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. Due to various
influences such as changing market conditions or a
reclassification of an Eligible Investment (defined below) to a
different asset class, we may change the Target Ranges of an
Account Portfolio Objective. If we change the Target Ranges for
your Account Portfolio Objective, your Financial Advisor will
restore the alignment of your investments with your Target
Ranges, if necessary. For more information, see “Account
Alignment” below.
Edward Jones that primarily includes stocks, affiliated mutual
funds, unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), across a variety of asset classes, as well as bonds, CDs
and cash equivalents. “Affiliated mutual funds” refers to mutual
funds managed by an affiliate of Edward Jones, which consist of
the Bridge Builder family of mutual funds (“Bridge Builder Funds”).
Generally, you may purchase affiliated mutual funds in Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions. However, Edward Jones may prevent
the purchase of certain affiliated mutual funds unless you already
hold shares of those mutual funds and transfer them into your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account(s). Edward Jones, in
its sole discretion, may make exceptions based on the particular
facts and circumstances of your situation. 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. Certain Eligible Investments are only available in
taxable accounts. Additionally, certain Eligible Investments for
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions are also available in the
non-discretionary Guided Solutions Flex program but may not be
offered in our other advisory programs. Cash balances awaiting
investment or reinvestment in your account will be automatically
swept into the Edward Jones Money Market Fund (“Money Market
Fund”), which is an affiliated fund of Edward Jones as described
later in this Brochure, where they will be held until invested in an
Eligible Investment. The Money Market Fund is not available to
purchase as an Eligible Investment. For information about conflicts
of interest associated with Edward Jones relating to cash in your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account, please see Item 6.
Creating Your Initial Asset Allocation
After you have selected your Account Portfolio Objective, your
Financial Advisor will choose from among the investment options
available for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions (“Eligible
Investments”) to implement your Account Portfolio Objective.
When analyzing investments and making investment and trading
decisions for your account, we rely on a variety of different
sources of information. Such sources may include research
conducted by Edward Jones that covers a wide range of Eligible
Investments and investment research reports issued by firms that
are not affiliated with us.
Your account’s asset allocation may include a cash allocation
invested in one or more third-party money market fund(s). In
certain instances, such as instances of market volatility or
uncertainty, your Financial Advisor may determine to increase the
amount of cash you hold in your portfolio. The portion of your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account that is held in the
Money Market Fund or other cash vehicles will be included in the
calculation of your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
(defined below). CDs are treated as fixed-income investments for
purposes of your asset allocation and not cash. Please refer to
Appendix A for more information about the Money Market Fund.
In addition, certain Edward Jones investment tools are used as a
preliminary basis for selecting certain Eligible Investments that
align with your Account Portfolio Objective. The use of such
investment tools does not guarantee the performance of your
account or any investments therein or protect against potential
investment losses.
Values-Based and Sustainable Investing. Certain available
investments may incorporate values-based or sustainable
investment strategies. Values-based investing considers a client’s
personal beliefs and values, while sustainable investing
incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
considerations. Such 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
such investments available for Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions and the associated risks.
Edward Jones and your Financial Advisor will be responsible for
monitoring your account on an ongoing basis, including directing
the buying and selling of investments in your account and as
necessary bringing your account into alignment with the Target
Ranges for your Account Portfolio Objective. As a result, the
specific investments and asset allocation for your account may
change over time, and deviate substantially from your initial asset
allocation, to reflect the realignment of your portfolio with our
advice.
Eligible Investments. Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
includes an extensive list of Eligible Investments selected by
There is no guarantee that an Eligible Investment will perform in
any particular manner. Past performance is not a guarantee of
future results. Details about the mutual funds and/or ETFs in your

in tax consequences as well as additional fees and expenses.
Your Financial Advisor is not responsible under the terms of
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions for monitoring your other
Edward Jones accounts, if you have them, on an ongoing basis.
However, if you have multiple Edward Jones accounts that are
linked to a Goal Portfolio Objective, your Financial Advisor may
recommend that you consider placing a trade in one or more of
your other Edward Jones accounts, rather than realigning your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account, in order to
address certain Investment Diagnostics.
account can be found in the prospectus, statement of additional
information (“SAI”) and shareholder reports for each mutual fund
and ETF (collectively, “fund prospectus and other fund
documents”). It is important that you read these documents
before investing. Investment 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.
Where you place trades in a brokerage account that could be
placed in your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account or
another fee-based investment advisory account at Edward Jones,
a conflict of interest exists as Edward Jones and your Financial
Advisor will earn compensation on the transactions, such as
commissions and/or mark-ups or mark-downs, that you would not
bear if such transactions were placed in your Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions account or another fee-based account at
Edward Jones. Such transaction fees would be in addition to the
asset-based advisory fee that you pay for assets held within your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account or other fee-based
account at Edward Jones.
Ineligible Investments. You will not be able to hold any
investment in your account that Edward Jones has deemed
ineligible for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, that becomes
sell-rated at Edward Jones or that is unavailable for your Account
(collectively, “Ineligible Investments”). If the initial funding for your
account includes Ineligible Investments, the Ineligible
Investments will be sold from your account unless you instruct
your Financial Advisor to transfer the assets to another account
at Edward Jones eligible to hold such investments prior to the
establishment of your initial asset allocation. In the event that
Edward Jones re-categorizes an investment from an Eligible
Investment to an Ineligible Investment or you transfer Ineligible
Investments into your Account after the establishment of the
initial asset allocation for your account, such Ineligible
Investments will be sold from your account within the time frame
established for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, as
determined by Edward Jones, in our sole discretion.
Investment and Trading Discretion. When you decide to invest
in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, you will sign a CSA
indicating that you agree to all of its terms and conditions. You
cannot change or amend the CSA in any way. By signing the
CSA, you give Edward Jones discretionary investment and
trading authority over your account. You do not give us the
authority to choose or change your Account Portfolio Objective.
Until an Ineligible Investment that was previously categorized as
an Eligible Investment is replaced, there is a possibility that
additional shares of the Ineligible 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 an Ineligible Investment and the eventual
mandatory removal of such shares may result in a taxable event.
The discretionary investment and trading authority you give us
includes the authority for your Financial Advisor and other
Edward Jones personnel (as described in Item 4) to manage your
assets on a discretionary basis by buying and selling investments
for your account whenever your Financial Advisor or other
Edward Jones personnel deem appropriate and without your
approval of each transaction, including but not limited to:
• Buying and selling Eligible Investments for your account;
• Replacing an Eligible Investment in your account with another
Eligible Investment;
• Selling Ineligible Investments from your account to fund
purchases of Eligible Investments;
• Changing an asset allocation at any time, provided such
Investment Restrictions. You can request your Financial
Advisor restrict the purchase of specific securities in your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account so long as the
restrictions are reasonable as determined by us and your
portfolio can be maintained within the Target Ranges when the
restrictions are applied. You cannot impose restrictions on
categories of specific securities (e.g., tobacco or alcohol
companies) or the actual securities in which underlying mutual
funds or ETFs invest. When a security is restricted from
purchase, your account performance may be adversely impacted.

Objective or goal;
• Using discretion as to the time Edward Jones will make a trade
in your account and the price we will pay for investments in
accordance with our obligation of best execution;
• Aggregating trades;
• Investing funds and reinvesting dividends, capital gains and
proceeds earned by your account into Eligible Investments;
• Deducting cash or selling money market shares and other
Account Alignment. Your Financial Advisor will review your
account periodically and realign your account with the Target
Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for your Account Portfolio
Objective. Realignment may include buying one or more
investments in your account and/or selling one or more
investments and reinvesting the proceeds in your account. In
certain instances, Edward Jones may take action in place of your
Financial Advisor to realign your Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions account in accordance with the Target Ranges or
Investment Diagnostics. Account alignment transactions may result

equitable over time, this may result in clients receiving different
prices. In addition, if the volume or size of redemptions required
to be effected as a result of re-categorizing a mutual fund from an
Eligible Investment to an Ineligible Investment exceeds the limits
set forth in the mutual fund’s trading policies and procedures, the
mutual fund may exceed the standard settlement period to
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 a random allocation process to effect the redemptions over
time in a manner consistent with the limits set forth in the mutual
fund’s trading policies and procedures.

be held outside of your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
account if your CSA is terminated; and

your account. When a trade error occurs that is caused by the
actions of Edward Jones, we will work to promptly correct the
error while ensuring your account is not disadvantaged.
a share class available outside of your Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions account if your CSA is terminated.
If you elect to enroll in one or more systematic investing
programs for your account as set forth in the CSA, Edward Jones
will automatically purchase, sell or exchange certain securities as
determined by your Financial Advisor on a periodic basis.
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. When using an error
account, we engage in principal transactions. This means that we
will transact with you from our own inventory of securities. 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 discretionary investment and trading authority you give to
Edward Jones can be exercised by Edward Jones and its
Financial Advisors at any time and without prior notice to you. It
does not include the ability to withdraw, disburse or transfer funds
or securities from your account, which will continue to require
your prior authorization except with respect to the payment of the
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
Principal Trading. Edward Jones may execute trades for
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions accounts as principal by
selling a security from our inventory to you to correct trades
originally executed in an agency capacity or purchasing a
security from you for our inventory in connection with fractional
share liquidations following your consent and direction.
Principal transactions cause a conflict between Edward Jones’
and your interests, including when Edward Jones generates
additional revenue due to market movement, resulting in gains on
our inventory positions. In certain principal transactions, Edward
Jones will provide required disclosures and obtain your verbal or
written consent and direction prior to the trade.
Brokerage Services. When Edward Jones executes trades for
your account, we are not acting as an investment adviser, but
solely as a broker-dealer. Trading in your account will be subject
to our trading policies and practices. You will not be charged
trade commissions or mark-ups for Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions trades. However, Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
may cost you more or less than purchasing advisory services and
brokerage services separately, depending on certain factors such
as the frequency of your trading. You cannot request that your
orders be executed through another broker-dealer. Not all
investment advisers require their clients to execute their trades
through a certain broker-dealer as we do.
Trade Allocation. Some Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
trades may be combined with trades for other client accounts and
executed in aggregated block trades. From time to time, the
volume and/or number of trades to be executed for Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions accounts may exceed Edward Jones’
operational and/or technological capacities if these trades are
directed on a single day. For example, this may occur if Edward
Jones is re-categorizing an investment from an Eligible
Investment to an Ineligible Investment. In order to maintain the
orderly processing of trades and to minimize the incidence of
errors, Edward Jones may allocate trades based on the time of
order entry. In certain circumstances, this process may take
several days or weeks. Although designed to be fair and
Margin Loans. Eligible non-retirement account clients may obtain
margin loans collateralized by marginable securities held in their
accounts. Margin loans for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
accounts may be used for “Personal Line of Credit Loans” or
“Overdraft Coverage,” but may not be used for the purpose of
purchasing securities on credit. When Edward Jones extends a
margin loan to you, it is not acting as an investment adviser but
solely as a broker-dealer. In making the decision to take out a
margin loan, it is important you understand the risks associated
with using margin, the costs of margin loans, and how the
performance of your account may be negatively affected. Please
see the Edward Jones Margin Disclosure Statement and the
Statement of Credit Terms (the “Margin Disclosure”) for a
discussion of the risks as well as “Margin Risk” below before taking
out a margin loan. The Margin Disclosure also includes a
discussion of the costs of margin loans. As discussed below, you

the advisory services offered in the Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions program or covered by the Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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.
will pay interest charges on your margin loans in addition to the
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee (defined below). Before
taking out a margin loan in your Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions account, first evaluate the intended duration of the loan
and your other options, including alternative loan options or
liquidating securities. It is our view that margin loans are most
appropriate when short in duration. To the extent that a margin call
is triggered in connection with your account and we are forced to
sell any securities or other assets to satisfy the margin call, we will
act solely in our capacity as a broker-dealer and lender (and not as
an investment adviser). Moreover, if selling such securities in order
to satisfy a margin call, we will prioritize our interest over your
interests. Your Financial Advisor cannot obtain a margin loan for
you with respect to your account without your authorization.
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.
Custody. Assets in your account are held at Edward Jones as
broker-dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets in
your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties and
responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones as sub-custodian.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
You are 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.

• Collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales;

Further terms and conditions applicable to this Class Action
Claim Filing Service can be found at edwardjones.com/account

• Disbursing funds from your account
Please review your account statements carefully and notify
us immediately if you detect an error or a discrepancy.
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. If
EJTC is the custodian, the account statement will be sent by
Edward Jones on behalf of EJTC. While not currently available
as of the date of this brochure, Edward Jones anticipates in the
future providing clients with the ability to waive the client’s right
to receive confirmations on buy or sell transactions effected in the
client’s Account.
Termination of Your Participation in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions. You or Edward Jones may terminate your
participation in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions at any time
without any advisory termination fee. While oral instructions to
terminate your participation in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions are generally acceptable, Edward Jones, in our sole
discretion, may require written notice in order to terminate
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions advisory services for
your account.
Upon notice of termination of your Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions services, Edward Jones will no longer act as an
investment adviser and will not be obligated to take 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 Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions 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.
Class Action Claim Filing Service. Edward Jones partners 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
In general, 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. When a
mutual fund company offers multiple share class options for a
mutual fund, and you have instructed us to transfer such mutual
fund to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or you fail to
provide instructions and your assets are transferred to a Limited

to Edward Jones brokerage accounts.
Services Account, as defined below, then Edward Jones will
determine, in our sole discretion, what share class to convert
your mutual fund holding into when transferring your mutual fund
holding to the Edward Jones Select brokerage account or Limited
Services Account. Mutual fund share class conversions can result
in higher or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under
the previous share class and liquidations may cause a taxable
event.
In the event Edward Jones is notified by a receiving firm that a
transfer of securities in your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
account is being rejected in part or whole by such receiving firm
Edward Jones will liquidate the rejected securities and transfer
the cash to such receiving firm.
Fees
Every Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account pays
asset-based fees (referred to as your “Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions Fee”). Your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
includes a Program Fee and a Platform Fee, less any applicable
fee reduction and/or fee offset (as discussed more fully below). In
addition to your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee,
affiliated mutual funds and unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs
that you purchase or that are held in your account have internal
fees and expenses that are described in the fund prospectus and
other fund documents. These internal fees and expenses vary
depending on the mutual fund or ETF.
The following section explains:
• The Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee and expenses
• How the fees and expenses are calculated and paid
• Potential fee reductions and offsets you may receive from
Edward Jones
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 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 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.
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.
The Program Fee
Each Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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; and
custody and transaction execution services and other related
services as described in this Brochure. The Program Fee is
assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of 1.35%, payable
monthly in arrears.
The Platform Fee
A Platform Fee is charged on accounts enrolled in Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions for the support and maintenance of
accounts on the Edward Jones investment advisory platform,
such as trading and risk tools, training and education, and
ongoing platform development. This fee is in addition to the
Program Fee. The Platform Fee is assessed up to a maximum
annual fee rate of 0.05%, payable monthly in arrears.
If you sell the assets in your account, your proceeds will be
available upon settlement of the trades generated to complete
the liquidation. 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. If you instruct Edward Jones to liquidate equity
securities in your account which include fractional shares, as an
accommodation Edward Jones will purchase such fractional
share(s) as principal into its own account at market value without
a mark-up or mark-down. Edward Jones may make a profit on its
inventory due to market movements.
Liquidation of securities held in your account may cause a
taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.
How the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
Is Calculated
The Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee, which includes
the Program Fee and the Platform Fee, is based on the market
value of all assets held in your account, including stocks, mutual
funds, ETFs, fixed income holdings and cash and cash
equivalents, including shares of the Money Market Fund and
third-party money market funds. Margin loan balances, if any, do
not reduce the market value of your account for the purposes of
calculating the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee.
However, for taxable accounts, the value of any fixed-income
syndicate offerings acquired and held in your account will be
excluded from the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
Upon notice of termination, if you fail to instruct Edward Jones as
to the disposition of assets in your account, your account’s
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 the Money Market Fund). Any transactions
will be subject to fees, commissions and sales charges applicable

Group.
In addition, the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee may be
lower than the above stated maximum annual fee rate in the
following circumstances:
calculation for a period of time as determined by Edward Jones.
The Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee is assessed at an
annual fee rate (shown above), payable monthly in arrears.
Accounts with higher values generally pay lower fee rates than
accounts with lower values.
• 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 Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions Fee is charged to your account each month in arrears.
If your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account is open for
part of a month, then you will pay a fee based on the number of
days your account was open and invested in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions. 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 Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions Fee is at the sole discretion of Edward Jones
and may result in clients being charged differently for the same or
similar services.
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.
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. Other members of the Pricing Group will
receive the same disclosure upon request. Your Pricing Group is
based on the following criteria:
1. Your single, joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan and IRA
accounts are grouped together if they are registered at the
same address and share one or more of the following: (a) the
same last name, (b) the same Social Security number, or (c)
the same Edward Jones Relationship Group. (If you have
worked with your Financial Advisor to group your account with
other accounts for the purpose of planning and establishing
financial goals, that is a Relationship Group. Your Relationship
Group may be the same as your Pricing Group. Please contact
your Financial Advisor if you have any questions about your
Relationship Group.)
Fee Reductions
If your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. 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 Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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 Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions but did not purchase them through Edward
Jones, you will not receive a fee reduction.
2. Your revocable trust accounts are grouped with your single,
joint, custodial, IRA or other revocable trust accounts if they
are registered at the same address and use the same tax ID
number for tax reporting.
3. Your association, church, corporation, estate, irrevocable
trust, LLC, partnership and sole proprietorship accounts are
grouped with other accounts of the same type if they are
registered at the same address and use the same tax ID
number for tax reporting. These types of accounts will be
grouped with each other, but not with other account types.
Program 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.
Additionally, accounts that do not meet the above criteria with
your account, but that meet the above criteria with another
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
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.

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, which
include the Bridge Builder Funds and will be sub-advised by
multiple sub-advisers who are unaffiliated with Edward Jones.
Refer to Appendix A which contains a detailed discussion of our
affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds.
for operating the funds (“internal fees and expenses”) that are
deducted from the fund’s assets, which has the effect of reducing
the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Many mutual funds that are
Eligible Investments in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
have different share classes with different fees and expenses for
each share class. 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 as Eligible Investments for
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions.
Internal fees and expenses are in addition to the Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions 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.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund: The Money Market Fund is
also an affiliated fund. JFC directly owns 100% of Olive Street
Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), the adviser of the
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 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.
How the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
Fee Is Paid
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).
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.
Any internal fees and expenses charged by a mutual fund or ETF
will reduce your account’s overall returns and investment
performance.
Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
In addition to the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
described above, clients will pay Edward Jones interest on
margin loans, if applicable, as set forth in the Margin Disclosure.
A client may pay for other services including, but not limited to,
debit and check-writing fees, estate service fees and fees to
distribute an account pursuant to a transfer on death agreement.
Also, the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee does not
cover the following (if applicable to your account): transfer taxes;
electronic fund, wire and other account transfer fees; internal fees
and expenses incurred by mutual funds or ETFs purchased for
your account; 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 Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee is deducted
directly from your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account
and paid using the cash portion of your account, which may
include cash held in the Money Market Fund. If there is not
sufficient cash held in the Money Market Fund, we are authorized
to sell a sufficient amount of assets held in your account to pay
the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee. Edward Jones will
first sell a sufficient amount of shares of mutual funds held in your
account to pay the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee. If
there are not sufficient assets in the mutual funds held in your
account, Edward Jones will sell a sufficient amount of shares of
ETFs or equity securities, and then a sufficient amount of
fixed-income securities necessary to pay the Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions Fee. If Edward Jones sells mutual funds,
ETFs, equity securities or fixed-income securities, this may result
in your account being out of alignment with the Target Ranges for
your Account Portfolio Objective or with the Investment
Diagnostics for your account until portfolio realignment occurs.
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 a mutual fund or ETF in a taxable
account may result in a taxable event. Securities transactions
effected to pay the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
may necessitate odd-lot sales. Odd-lot sales may result in less
favorable pricing conditions. At the sole discretion of Edward
Jones, you may be allowed to pay your Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions Fee from an alternate Edward Jones
account.
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
account but not yet invested in Eligible Investments or swept into
the Money Market Fund 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 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.
Internal Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds and
ETFs, Including Redemption Fees
Mutual funds (including affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds)
and ETFs have internal management fees and ongoing expenses

alternative, a Financial Advisor will typically earn more over time if
you invest in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. This creates a
financial incentive for your Financial Advisor to recommend
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions instead of brokerage
services.
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 Account Portfolio Objective or Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable) you select. As a result, your Financial Advisor does not
have a financial incentive to recommend one Account Portfolio
Objective or Goal Portfolio Objective over another. Your Financial
Advisor does not receive a portion of the Platform Fee.
The Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee, as well as assets
under care and client margin loan balances, will impact most
Financial Advisors’ eligibility for a bonus and bonus amount. The
Program Fee, as well as assets under care and client margin
loan 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).
Most Financial Advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward
Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which
includes domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu
of a trip. Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon
the amount of new and existing assets under care of a Financial
Advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
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.
For further information on compensation and conflicts of interest,
please see the “Understanding how we are compensated for
financial services” document found at edwardjones.com/
compensation.
Similarly, the Program Fee rate paid to your Financial Advisor will
be the same regardless of the investment advisory program in
which you invest. However, your Financial Advisor also may
receive compensation in connection with margin loans in
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions as described below. As a
result, and if you would be eligible for margin lending in Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions but ineligible for the Edward Jones
securities-based lending offering called the Edward Jones
Reserve Line of Credit (“Reserve Line”) available in some other
Edward Jones investment advisory services, your Financial
Advisor will have a financial incentive to recommend Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions over another Edward Jones
investment advisory program. If you use margin in your account,
Edward Jones will receive revenue as a result of charging
interest on your margin loan. As a result, there is a material
conflict of interest between you and us in connection with margin
loans, which we address through disclosure in this Brochure. For
example, if you take out or maintain a margin loan rather than
withdraw money from your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
account, we retain the Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee
that such assets are otherwise generating and charge you
interest on any outstanding margin loan balances. Depending on
your specific circumstances, including the intended duration of
the margin loan and the return on your account, over the long
term it may cost you more to take out the margin loan than if you
had pursued an alternative loan option or liquidated securities
and withdrawn the sale proceeds from your account.
Although Edward Jones receives more revenue from a margin
loan than a loan through the Reserve Line available in the other
advisory programs, your Financial Advisor is compensated the
same on both types of loans. You are encouraged to carefully
consider the total cost of taking out any margin loan, and any
additional compensation to us or your Financial Advisor, when
determining to take out and/or maintain a margin loan.

(“ERISA”) Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure. This Brochure contains
disclosures designed to assist the named fiduciary or other
responsible plan fiduciaries of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA (the “Plan”) in determining the reasonableness of the
fees and compensation Edward Jones may receive as a service
provider to the Plan. Financial Advisor Managed Solutions is an
investment advisory program offered by Edward Jones. The
services provided through Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
are described in Item 4 above and in Section 1 of the CSA.
For a description of the fees that may be directly charged to the

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 a Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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

9 below. For a discussion of termination fees that may apply see
“Termination of your Participation in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions” and “Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions Fee” in this Item 4.
Edward Jones will act in our capacity as a broker-dealer, not as a
fiduciary or investment adviser, in connection with such
transactions and will sell those securities at no commission.
Edward Jones and its affiliates may benefit from other
compensation as described in Item 9B under “Client Referrals
and Other Compensation.”
Edward Jones will not provide advice and/or guidance regarding
the securities being sold to fund the Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions account. Trades that occur in a taxable account may
cause a taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.

The total value of your account is monitored by Edward Jones. If
the value of your account falls significantly (for example, a balance
of $10,000 or below), we may, in our discretion, remove your
account from Financial Advisor Managed Solutions.
Comparing Costs, Expenses and Services
The Program Fee is a fee for investment advisory 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.” Financial Advisor Managed Solutions may cost
you more or less 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.
You can choose to forgo the services of Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions 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.
Edward Jones offers clients a wide range of financial services.
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions may not be appropriate for
every client or every account type. Generally, Financial Advisor

Edward Jones can prohibit any person or entity from investing or
remaining in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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
intend to invest in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions for a
minimum of three (3) years.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of
Clients
You will not be able to purchase certain fixed-income securities if
your account value is below $50,000. We can change the
minimum at our discretion. However, you will be able to hold
eligible fixed-income securities in your account regardless of
account value. For example, if you purchased a bond when your
account value exceeded $50,000, you can continue to hold that
bond even if your account value declines. If you hold less than
$50,000 in your account, additional purchases of fixed income
holdings will be limited to mutual funds and ETFs that invest in
fixed income securities.
Your initial investment in a Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
account must generally be at least $25,000. You can fund your
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account with cash and/or
securities. If you establish your Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions account with Ineligible Investments, the Ineligible
Investments will be sold from your account without regard to tax
consequences or redemption fees that may be assessed on the
liquidation or redemption of those securities unless you instruct
your Financial Advisor to transfer the assets to another account at
Edward Jones eligible to hold such investments prior to the
establishment of your initial asset allocation. If you later add
Ineligible Investments to your account, your Financial Advisor will
liquidate or redeem such Ineligible Investments without first
consulting with you and regardless of tax consequences or
If, at any time, you transfer mutual funds into a Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions account and those mutual funds are current
Eligible Investments but in a different share class from those held
for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, Edward Jones is
authorized to convert those shares into a different share class

Loss section below.
personnel may assist your Financial Advisor in providing the
program management services to you and are not required to
meet the eligibility requirements.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Mutual fund shares held in your Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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 Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions 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 Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
Edward Jones selects the Eligible Investments available in
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions based on numerous
quantitative and qualitative 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.
Assets in your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account will
not be used to pay any adjustment(s) that apply in the event you
fail to satisfy the LOI.
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.
If you request a transfer of securities from your Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions 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 Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions 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
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.
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 Program 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.
Item 6: Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
Investment Selection and Evaluation
Eligible Investments (other than affiliated mutual funds) undergo
periodic review by Edward Jones to determine if they remain
suitable for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. An Eligible
Investment can be re-categorized from an Eligible Investment to
an Ineligible Investment for a variety of reasons, including, but
not limited to, the following:
• Inconsistency with Edward Jones’ investment philosophy
• Regulatory concerns
• Termination of an agreement with a mutual fund company
• Lack of ongoing financial information
• A decision by Edward Jones to reduce the overall ownership
level of a fund
The Target Ranges for each Account Portfolio Objective are
generally based on the Edward Jones investment categories.
Depending on market volatility, the asset allocations in your
account will sometimes depart from the Target Ranges for your
Account Portfolio Objective.
Different asset classes will perform better than others, resulting in
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions is a discretionary wrap fee
program sponsored by Edward Jones. Your Financial Advisor will
exercise discretion to select investments for your account. Other
Financial Advisors and Edward Jones licensed personnel may
act on behalf of your Financial Advisor. For more information, see
Item 4. As of the date of this brochure, your Financial Advisor
must meet training requirements as well as certain minimum
tenure, experience and/or educational certification eligibility
requirements established by Edward Jones to provide
discretionary investment management services under the
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. In certain instances,
mentorship and enhanced learning requirements may replace
tenure, experience and educational certification eligibility
requirements. Your Financial Advisor’s eligibility to continue
providing discretionary investment management services under
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions is subject to ongoing
reviews. Edward Jones may modify or eliminate the applicable
eligibility criteria at any time and without notice to you.
Additionally, other Financial Advisors and Edward Jones
Page 14 of 22 IAS-17188H-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

Investments may experience more volatility than a more
diversified account with a larger number of Eligible Investments.
an asset allocation that may have more or less risk than you may
want. In order to keep your account in alignment, your Financial
Advisor will monitor and realign your account if the asset
allocations have deviated significantly from the Target Ranges or
Investment Diagnostics for your Account Portfolio Objective.
The objective of investing in a variety of Eligible Investments in
various types of asset classes allocated in the Target Ranges is
to construct a portfolio designed to experience less volatility and
show more consistent performance over time. There is no
guarantee that this goal will be achieved.
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.
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. The value 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.
Each Eligible Investment will 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 (as applicable),
risks, fees and expenses, and past performance of each Eligible
Investment before deciding to invest in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions.
Share Classes. Mutual fund investments in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions 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 Financial Advisor Managed Solutions
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.
Edward Jones generally attempts to select institutional and/or
advisory share classes for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions,
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.
Additionally, your Financial Advisor may also invest your account
in certain investments that employ non-traditional strategies.
Such investments may hold non-traditional investments or use
complex investment and trading strategies. Investments that
utilize derivatives or leverage, as an example, can be complex
and increase the risk of volatility and loss of investment. Other
potential risks may include, but are not limited to: the investment
performs in a manner that is difficult to understand relative to
traditional investments; lack of liquidity; credit risk; counterparty
risk; and adverse tax consequences. Such investments contain
unique characteristics and risks. Refer, as applicable, to the fund
prospectus and other fund documents that describe risks specific
to each fund. Information about each Eligible Investment can be
obtained from your Financial Advisor.
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
Class A shares are selected in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions, 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.
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.
Depending on the Eligible Investments selected, your account
may also be subject to the following risks:
Concentration Risk. An account with a limited number of Eligible
Please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus and other fund
documents for more information regarding the available share
classes of mutual funds used in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions. In our sole discretion, Edward Jones can change the
share class of any mutual fund at any time without prior notice
to you.

> edwardjones.com
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.
Redemptions. 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, re-categorizes a mutual fund from an Eligible Investment
to an Ineligible Investment. If the resulting volume or size of
redemptions directed by accounts in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions as a result of the re-categorization 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.
Certificate of Deposit Risk. The price of a CD in the secondary
market is governed by prevailing interest rates. If a CD is sold
before it matures, you may receive less than the original
purchase price if interest rates are higher. Edward Jones, though
not obligated to do so, may maintain a secondary market in the
CD after the purchase which allows CDs to be sold on any
business day. Rates paid on CDs may be lower or higher than
the rates available directly through the bank that is issuing the
CD. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of CDs
and other bank deposits that you hold with any one bank for
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits.
Brokerage and other transaction costs will apply to the sale of the
underlying securities. We will work with the mutual fund company
to minimize any potential adverse impact to accounts in Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions, but there is no assurance that you
will be able to avoid the risk of loss and other adverse
consequences.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock is a class of capital stock
that typically pays dividends at a specified rate.
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
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).

issuers; higher brokerage costs; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates and related conversion costs; adverse tax
consequences; and settlement delays.
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.
Tax Considerations
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions does not provide tax
efficient strategies or tax advice. Your Financial Advisor may take
into account tax considerations as one factor among others when
making investment and trading decisions for your account.
However, Financial Advisor Managed Solutions does not provide
quantitative or programmatic tax loss or gain harvesting services
and will not monitor for tax consequences on an ongoing basis.
You should consult with your tax advisor for tax advice, including
advice on potential tax consequences.
Margin Risk. Our Financial Advisors provide information and
education regarding the availability of margin loans. However,
you decide whether to borrow money from us and you decide
when and how to pay back any loans. There are certain risks and
conflicts of interest that arise when we make margin loans in our
role as lender and broker-dealer rather than investment adviser,
including (i) the interest rate charged in connection with your loan
may be higher than those charged by other lenders and is in
addition to the Program Fee; (ii) we may require additional
collateral if there is a decline in the market value of the securities
that secure your margin loan; (iii) we can sell any securities in
your account to satisfy a margin call without notice to you; (iv) we
may be required to liquidate securities we would otherwise not
recommend you sell, and which may not otherwise be in your
best interests to sell, to satisfy a margin call; (v) you are not
entitled to select which securities are liquidated to satisfy a
margin call and we can sell securities that you wish to retain or
that have a low tax basis without regard to your wishes or any
adverse tax consequences of a sale; (vi) depending on market
conditions, the prices obtained for the securities may be less than
favorable and may be less than the value that we or you believe
the securities are worth; (vii) the timing of securities sales in
connection with a margin call will be different than if those
securities were not used as collateral in connection with a margin
loan, and may negatively impact the performance of your account
and interrupt your investment strategy; (viii) a situation could
arise where the value of your account is zero and you still owe
money on a loan; and (ix) with respect to the margin loan and
collateral, we will act in the capacity of a lender and may take the
actions described above, which may be in conflict with your best
interest and our role as an investment adviser to your Financial
Advisor Managed Solution account. Any action taken by us
against the securities in your Financial Advisor Managed Solution
account pursuant to the use of margin will not constitute a breach
of our fiduciary duties as an investment adviser.
Voting Client Securities
As a registered investment adviser, Edward Jones may vote
proxies for clients in accordance with applicable law and has a
fiduciary duty to vote those proxies in a timely manner and in our
clients’ best interests, even if our clients’ best interest is in conflict
with our interests. Edward Jones votes proxies for all Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions accounts (except SEP and SIMPLE
IRAs, traditional IRAs linked to SEP IRAs and Benefit Plan
accounts) unless the client specifically retains the right to vote
proxies. If you transfer Ineligible Investments to open or fund an
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account, Edward Jones
may also vote proxies for those securities if the date of record
occurs before the securities are liquidated. When you invest in
Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, you delegate the right to
vote on these securities to Edward Jones and cannot direct or
recommend how we will vote. By delegating proxy authority, you
also authorize us to receive all proxy-related materials, annual
and semi-annual reports, and other shareholder materials,
including corporate actions, arising from any Eligible Investments
or other securities in the account.
Edward Jones has hired an independent third-party proxy voting
service to assist us in evaluating and voting proxies in a way that
follows our adopted policies and guidelines. We have established
policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that proxies
are voted in a manner that is consistent with our clients’ best
interest. Further, certain independent shareholder rights available
to you as an individual may not be exercised or effectuated when
you delegate proxy authority to Edward Jones. For more
information, you can receive a copy of proxy-related materials,
Edward Jones’ proxy voting policy and procedures, voting
guidelines and/or proxy voting record by submitting a written
request to: Edward Jones, Attention: Investment Advisory,12555
Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO 63131.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
a variety of protections designed to protect against damage or
interruption from computer viruses, network and computer
failures and cyber-attacks. Despite such protections, systems,
networks and devices potentially can be breached. Cyber-attacks
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.
If you want to retain your right to vote proxies, you must inform
Edward Jones that we are not to vote on your behalf. Those
clients who wish to retain their right to vote proxies will then
continue to receive all materials and notices from Edward Jones
Economic Conditions Risk. Economic, political and financial
trends and developments may, from time to time, result in periods

settlement, and agreed to pay a monetary fine of $1.1 million.
Client information provided to Edward Jones will be maintained in

Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. § 1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without

does not receive revenue sharing on assets held in Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions accounts. Edward Jones and our
Financial Advisors also receive compensation for services and
recommendations that may differ from advice given to you while
participating in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions.
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.
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.
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.
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 Financial Advisor Managed Solutions, including the
execution of brokerage transactions (e.g., the purchase or sale of
securities or insurance products), 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.
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 Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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
agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance
Agency of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited
liability company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of
California, L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
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.
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families that are
available as Eligible Investments through Financial Advisor
Managed Solution. 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 considering revenue sharing
from existing business relationships when selecting Eligible
Investments for Financial Advisor Managed Solutions. 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.
B. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading;
Review of Accounts; Client Referrals and Other
Compensation; and Financial Information
Edward Jones has established a Code of Ethics to ensure that

Review of Accounts
At the time your Financial Advisor Managed Solutions account is
opened, Edward Jones’ supervisory associates will review your
selected Account Portfolio Objective and the funding of your
account. 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 Financial Advisor Managed Solutions including the fees and
expenses you are or will be paying.
receive as a result of their employment with Edward Jones
While you are invested in Financial Advisor Managed Solutions,
Edward Jones or your Financial Advisor will provide ongoing
monitoring to determine whether your account moves out of
alignment with the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio
Objective or with the Investment Diagnostics for your account
and your Financial Advisor will make necessary adjustments to
bring your account back into alignment.
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 Eligible Investments, including asset
allocations. 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.
In addition, you and your Financial Advisor must annually review
whether there have been any changes to your financial
circumstances including, but not limited to, your risk tolerance,
Account Portfolio Objective and Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable) and whether you would like to impose any reasonable
investment restrictions on your account. Please see “Investment
Restrictions” under Item 4 for more information on the
implementation of reasonable investment restrictions.
If you decide to invest in a different Account Portfolio Objective,
you must work with your Financial Advisor to select a different
Account Portfolio Objective for your account and, once you have
taken these actions, Edward Jones and your Financial Advisor
will be responsible for realigning your account to match your new
Account Portfolio Objective as described in Item 4.
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 Financial Advisor Managed Solutions buy
securities that are also Eligible Investments in Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions. These brokerage activities are done in the
regular course of our 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.
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.
You should know that Financial Advisors, Edward Jones
associates (including those directly involved with Financial
Advisor Managed Solutions and/or their family members are
permitted to and do invest in Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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.
Our review does 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 provide 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 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 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

advisory product partner’s sponsorship of a marketing activity
when choosing which Eligible Investments to suggest to you.

Advisers

stated as a percentage of the Financial Advisor Managed
Solutions 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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones makes 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 can influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
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.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors
(or their investment advisers) with mutual funds and/or ETFs on
the list of Eligible Investments 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 also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and generally share in the
cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into any
agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its investment adviser
or its distributors or affiliates providing for payment of such
expenses as a condition of inclusion on the list of Eligible
Investments or the selection of a sub-adviser for affiliated mutual

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
For any Financial Advisor Managed Solutions 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 Financial Advisor
Managed Solutions 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. You may choose to invest 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.
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 Services 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.
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.
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.

recommendations provided through EJG Financial Planning are
separate from the other services provided through Generations
(“Other Generations Services”).
Edward Jones is a registered broker-dealer and investment
adviser. This brochure (“Brochure”) provides clients (“client,”
“you” or “your”) with information about Edward Jones
Generations® Financial Planning (“EJG Financial Planning”). As
of the date of this brochure, EJG Financial Planning is offered
exclusively to clients enrolled in the Edward Jones Generations®
offering (“Generations”). You should read this Brochure carefully
and consult with your tax professional before you decide to
engage Edward Jones for EJG Financial Planning.
All Edward Jones financial planning services, including EJG
Financial Planning and the separately available Branch Office
Financial Planning Services, are designed to address the
following five Financial Planning components: (1) goal planning;
(2) cash and income planning; (3) portfolio and investment
allocation; (4) risk and protection; and (5) estate and wealth
transfer, (collectively, the “Financial Planning Components”).
Additionally, all Edward Jones financial planning services can
also help you evaluate financial needs such as retirement
income, college savings, wealth protection, employee benefits
planning (e.g., equity compensation arrangements), and tax or
estate planning considerations as part of the Financial Planning
Components (collectively, “Additional Elements”), where
applicable.
Edward Jones also separately offers other financial planning
services through its financial advisors (“financial advisors”)
through the Edward Jones Branch Office Financial Planning
Services (“Branch Office Financial Planning Services”).
Additionally, Edward Jones offers other investment advisory
services (“Advisory Programs”) and separate brokerage services.
The Branch Office Financial Planning Services, Advisory
Programs and brokerage services are not part of EJG Financial
Planning. Additionally, certain programs or offerings are only
available through select financial advisors.
You can obtain disclosure brochures about our Branch Office
Financial Planning Services and Advisory Programs at
edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures and our brokerage services
at edwardjones.com/brokerageinformation. While certain key
differences between EJG Financial Planning and Branch Office
Financial Planning Services are described in this Brochure, you
should refer to the disclosure brochure for the Branch Office
Financial Planning Services for more complete information about
those services. Additionally, this Brochure does not describe
Edward Jones Advisory Programs or brokerage services.
EJG Financial Planning differs from the Branch Office Financial
Planning Services in that EJG Financial Planning is specifically
designed to address the more complex planning needs of
high-net-worth individuals. EJG Financial Planning has the ability
to provide additional elements or analysis with the Financial
Planning Components and additional financial planning services
for complex financial planning needs where relevant. For
example, as part of the Financial Planning Components, EJG
Financial Planning typically includes more detailed analyses
regarding cash flow planning and planning for abundance as well
as a portfolio review and analyses of tax and estate planning
considerations by specialized members of your Planning Team.
EJG Financial Planning also can include one or more of the
following additional financial planning services as part of the

EJG Financial Planning is offered for an annual fee as described
in Item 5 (“Annual Fee”) exclusively to certain clients enrolled in
the Generations offering. Generations is comprised of a group of
separate brokerage, advisory, referral and other services that can
address various needs of high-net-worth clients. Clients generally
must have $10 million or more in total investible assets at the
individual or planning group level to qualify for EJG Financial
Planning, subject to exception by Edward Jones in its sole
discretion. Additionally, continued enrollment in EJG Financial
Planning for an Annual Fee is a required condition to remain
enrolled in Generations as set forth in the Edward Jones
Generations Services Agreement (“Generations Agreement”).
The investment advisory services and associated advice and
EJG Financial Planning also differs from the Branch Office
Financial Planning Services in how the financial planning

working with you and the other members of the Planning Team
in the construction and evolution of your Financial Plan over
the course of your enrollment in EJG Financial Planning.
services are provided. EJG Financial Planning is provided to you
through a dedicated team of Edward Jones financial planning
professionals that specialize in working with the complex needs
of high-net-worth clients (your “Planning Team”) as described in
more detail below whereas the Branch Office Financial Planning
Services are provided by your financial advisor and/or your
financial advisor’s branch office team. In some cases, your
financial advisor may work with a home-office based Wealth
Strategist in providing Branch Office Financial Planning Services.
• The Tax and Estate Strategists will review and analyze relevant
tax and estate information, respectively, that you and/or your
third-party tax and legal advisors provide for purposes of
inclusion in your Financial Plan. They may also attend
meetings with you, other members of your Planning Team and
your third-party tax and legal advisors to educate your third-
party tax and legal advisors about the design of your Financial
Plan, your financial planning goals and the recommendations
contained within your Financial Plan. While Tax and Estate
Strategists and other members of your Planning Team may
educate you with respect to tax and estate planning
considerations, Tax and Estate Strategists, other members of
your Planning Team and other Edward Jones personnel do not
provide tax and legal advice.
• Your Portfolio Strategist and/or financial advisor will review the
investible assets you disclose to us and collaborate with the
rest of the Planning Team on addressing financial planning
considerations associated with your assets, such as general
asset allocation considerations.
The decision to engage in EJG Financial Planning is yours.
Before making this decision, you should determine whether EJG
Financial Planning is appropriate for your investment goals or
needs. If you decide to engage in EJG Financial Planning, we will
not begin providing you with EJG Financial Planning until our
acceptance and approval of a written EJG Financial Planning
agreement between you and Edward Jones (“EJG Financial
Planning Agreement”). In evaluating whether to enroll in EJG
Financial Planning, you should consider a number of factors,
including that you may be able to obtain some of the same
services from your financial advisor through the Branch Office
Financial Planning Services at a lower cost or no cost. You also
may be able to obtain similar services through another
investment adviser.
The Financial Plan You Will Receive and Your Planning
Team. You will receive a financial plan (your “Financial Plan”) and
periodic updates to your Financial Plan (generally, at least once
per year) which address, at a minimum, the five (5) Financial
Planning Components. The scope of Additional Elements and
EJG Enhanced Elements provided to you will depend on the
scope and complexity of your financial planning needs. Your
Financial Plan is based on one or more consultations with your
Planning Team and the information and documentation you
provide relating to your financial situation, investment objective
and goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and other pertinent factors
(collectively, your “Financial Planning Profile”).
EJG Financial Planning includes an ongoing relationship with
your Planning Team. Your Planning Team is comprised of a
Planner, a Tax Strategist, an Estate Strategist, a Portfolio
Strategist, your financial advisor and, where applicable, additional
Edward Jones strategists. Your enrollment in EJG Financial
Planning allows you to consult with Planning Team members
about your Financial Plan as needed and revise your Financial
Plan as needed based on changes to your Financial Planning
Profile or other information you communicate to Planning Team
members. The role of the Planning Team members is as follows:
While all EJG Financial Planning advisory services are provided
by your Planning Team, the Other Generations Services provided
to you, including all investment advice, investment strategies,
recommendations, and brokerage services associated with your
Edward Jones accounts that you receive from your financial
advisor and/or Portfolio Strategist are separately provided
through Generations and are not part of EJG Financial Planning.
However, Other Generations Services you receive will reference
information contained in the Financial Plan you receive through
EJG Financial Planning for your convenience where applicable.
For example, your financial advisor and Portfolio Strategist will
work together to provide you with one or more separate
Generations Investment Plan(s) (“Investment Plan(s)”) which
contain investment-related recommendations, including
recommendations for the purchase, sale or enrollment in
products and services available through Edward Jones. While the
Investment Plan(s) reiterate certain information contained in your
Financial Plan for informational purposes, the Investment Plan(s)
and the associated recommendations are provided to you as a
separate Generations service from EJG Financial Planning. Your
financial advisor also may separately recommend that you
purchase, sell or enroll in other products and services available
through Edward Jones.
• Your financial advisor will gather information and
documentation from you related to your Financial Planning
Profile and will coordinate with the Planner and other members
of the Planning Team to help ensure a common understanding
of your financial planning needs and objectives. Your financial
advisor also may attend meetings between you and the
Planner and/or other members of the Planning Team to deliver
and discuss your Financial Plan.
• The Planner and/or your financial advisor is responsible for
Your Planning Team can assist you where needed in coordinating
with your third-party advisors to convey your EJG Financial
Planning goals, objectives and other information pertinent to the
services you obtain through your third-party advisors and/or
incorporate information received from you and your third-party
advisor(s) into your Financial Plan(s) for your convenience.
Additionally, in some cases, Edward Jones also will refer you to
third-party advisors through Edward Jones Generations as a
separate service. Whether you engage a third-party advisor
on your own or as a result of a referral through Generations,
creating, updating and delivering your Financial Plan and for

Planning Profile. To obtain your Financial Plan, you must provide
the requested information to us and attend a meeting or meetings
with one or more members of your Planning Team to provide or
verify any requested information and documentation. Edward
Jones and your Planning Team will rely on the information and
documentation you provide to create your Financial Plan and will
not independently verify such information and documentation.
the services provided to you through your third-party
advisor(s) are not part of the services provided through EJG
Financial Planning. Edward Jones, your Planning Team and
other Edward Jones personnel are not affiliated with your
third-party advisor(s), do not oversee, validate or confirm the
information and advice provided by your third-party
advisor(s) and are not responsible for the advice provided to
you by your third-party advisor(s). Edward Jones, your
Planning Team and other Edward Jones personnel do not
provide tax or legal advice and are not a substitute for the
advice provided through your third-party advisor(s).
Edward Jones reserves the right to limit, modify or discontinue
offering EJG Financial Planning and/or the Generations offering
at any time. Edward Jones also reserves the right to modify, from
time to time, the scope of the Financial Planning Components it
provides through EJG Financial Planning, the Branch Office
Financial Planning Services and/or other financial planning
services Edward Jones may offer in the future, including but not
limited to the required and optional components of each service
and the support model for each.
Edward Jones and your Planning Team act in the capacity of an
investment adviser, and not a broker, when creating and
discussing your Financial Plan. By providing EJG Financial
Planning, neither Edward Jones nor your Planning Team or other
Edward Jones personnel are acting as a fiduciary under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or
section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
EJG Financial Planning Enrollment and Termination. Upon
your enrollment in EJG Financial Planning, you will receive
written confirmation of your enrollment, the estimated renewal
date for your Financial Plan (“Renewal Date”) and the Annual Fee
(as defined below in Item 5) for your first year of enrollment. The
Annual Fee you pay for each successive year you are enrolled in
EJG Financial Planning (each a “Renewal Period”) may differ
from your initial Annual Fee based on the services to be provided
in each subsequent year, the complexity of your planning needs
and other factors described in Item 5. You or Edward Jones may
terminate your enrollment in EJG Financial Planning at any time
by providing thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other as set
forth in the EJG Financial Planning Agreement. Your or Edward
Jones’ termination of your enrollment in EJG Financial Planning
also will terminate your enrollment in Generations.
Ongoing Services and Limitations. Each Financial Plan you
receive as part of EJG Financial Planning, both initially and
thereafter, is current as of the date set forth in the Financial Plan.
While you have ongoing access to your Planning Team to revisit
your Financial Plan in exchange for the Annual Fee described
herein, Edward Jones, your Planning Team and other Edward
Jones personnel will not continuously monitor your Financial Plan
nor continuously update your Financial Plan. Rather, your
Financial Plan generally will be reviewed and updated prior to
each Renewal Date (as defined below) or at such time as you
direct it to be updated, based on information you disclose to your
Planning Team such as updates to your Financial Planning
Profile, progress toward your identified investment goals or
changes to your goals as well as updates to any financial
planning analysis in your Financial Plan. Each annual update will
revisit the Financial Planning Components. While it is anticipated
that you will receive an updated Financial Plan at least once per
year, in limited instances at your or your Planning Team’s
request, the delivery date for an annual Financial Plan may be
extended (a “Plan Delivery Extension”). Typically, a Plan Delivery
Extension will not extend more than three (3) months into the
next occurring annual period. For example, during a Plan
Delivery Extension, an annual Financial Plan due to be delivered
by January 31, 2026 may instead be delivered to you by April 30,
2026. In the event of a Plan Delivery Extension, your next annual
Financial Plan typically will be delivered by the end of the same
annual period (i.e., using the foregoing example, your next
annual plan typically will be delivered by January 31, 2027). The
Annual Fee will continue to be charged to you as set forth in Item
5 regardless of the Plan Delivery Extension.
Additionally, if you notify your Planning Team of a material
change in circumstance impacting your Financial Plan, your
Planning Team will assess whether your Financial Plan requires
an interim update and, if so, provide you with an updated
Financial Plan at your direction. Additionally, your Planning Team
will provide financial planning education to you from time to time
over the course of your EJG Financial Planning engagement.
It is important for you to monitor your personal situation and
current events, such as changes in tax laws and financial
markets. You should consult with your tax advisor or CPA on all
tax-related matters and with your attorney on all legal matters
before taking any action suggested in the Financial Plan.
The Financial Plan is based on information and documentation
that you provide relating to your financial situation and Financial
Groupings. In some cases, the Financial Plan you receive
through EJG Financial Planning can address the combined
needs of a group of individuals (a “Planning Group”), inclusive of
your identified planning needs and the identified planning needs
of the other members of the Planning Group. If you qualify for
EJG Financial Planning at the Planning Group level and desire to
obtain such services, you and the other members of the Planning
Group also must each enter into an EJG Financial Planning
Agreement and all members of the Planning Group, including
you, must consent to share certain personal and financial
information with your Planning Team, Edward Jones personnel
who provide Other Generations Services to you and your
Planning Group as well as the other members of the Planning
Group. There may be limitations, as determined by Edward
Jones, regarding the number of people in a Planning Group.
Additionally, if you have separately directed Edward Jones to
group your Edward Jones accounts together with accounts
Page 5 of 11 LGL-19371B-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

owned by others for the sole purpose of sharing financial and
nonpublic personal information in furtherance of planning for
financial goals and/or investing (collectively, a “Relationship
Group”), then personal and financial information about you,
including but not limited to information obtained or used for
purposes of EJG Financial Planning and your Financial Plan(s),
will be shared with and accessible to each Relationship Group
member and each authorized party of the grouped accounts.
Your Relationship Group may include more members and
authorized parties than your Planning Group. The members and
authorized parties of your Relationship Group will be reflected on
the account statements you receive from Edward Jones or, if you
do not have an account at Edward Jones, through separate
correspondence you receive from Edward Jones.
trade more frequently. Edward Jones is the sponsor, broker and
investment adviser for a variety of Advisory Programs. Your
financial advisor may not offer all Advisory Programs at Edward
Jones. Please speak with your financial advisor for more
information on these separate services. Additionally, the analysis
in the Financial Plan related to accounts that you hold outside of
Edward Jones (“Outside Accounts”) is limited to general asset
allocation guidance. Edward Jones, its Planning Teams and other
Edward Jones personnel do not provide advice or specific
investment recommendations on Outside Accounts and the
assets held within such accounts. Edward Jones, its Planning
Teams and its other Edward Jones personnel are under no
obligation to take into account information about your Outside
Accounts when providing other brokerage and/or Advisory
Programs and other advisory services to you, including but not
limited to services provided in connection with your
implementation of the Financial Plan.
B. Customized Advisory Services
Implementation. The Financial Plan you receive through EJG
Financial Planning provides general asset allocation guidance
and financial planning recommendations. Implementation, or
execution, of the asset allocation guidance and other
recommendations contained in the Financial Plan you receive is
not part of EJG Financial Planning. You will receive one or more
separate Investment Plan(s) with implementation guidance from
your financial advisor and/or Portfolio Strategist as part of the
Generations offering as a separate service from EJG Financial
Planning.
The Financial Plan will cover the topics discussed above in Item
4 to the extent applicable to your circumstances and will be
customized to your individual needs and circumstances. As
described above, we rely on the information and documentation
you provide to create and update your Financial Plan. This
information and documentation will be the factual basis in forming
your Financial Plan.
C. Client Restrictions
We do not provide specific investment recommendations as part
of EJG Financial Planning. Therefore, this item is not applicable
to EJG Financial Planning.
D. Portfolio Management Services to Wrap
Fee Programs
This item does not apply to EJG Financial Planning.
E. Assets Under Management
You should carefully consider all relevant factors before deciding
how or whether to implement the asset allocation guidance and
recommendations contained in the Financial Plan. Any asset
allocation guidance shown in the Financial Plan could differ from
the actual allocation provided through Edward Jones Advisory
Programs and/or brokerage services. You are also not obligated
to use Edward Jones to implement your Financial Plan. If you
choose to implement some or all of your Financial Plan through
Edward Jones, you will have the option of investing through a
commission-based brokerage account, a fee-based investment
advisory account or both. Edward Jones will act as a broker-
dealer or investment adviser depending on the products and
services you select. Details about brokerage and investment
advisory offerings, including charges, fees and expenses
associated with them, are set forth in other agreements and
disclosures available through your financial advisor and at
edwardjones.com/disclosures.
While this information does not apply to EJG Financial Planning,
as of December 31, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary
assets across all of our Advisory Programs.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Fees for EJG Financial Planning
If you invest through a brokerage account, you pay commissions
and other charges (such as sales loads on mutual funds) at the
time of each individual securities transaction. As a result, this
type of account may be more appropriate than an investment
advisory services account if you do not expect to trade on a
regular basis and do not want ongoing investment advice on
assets held in an investment advisory services account(s). For
investment advisory services accounts, you pay an ongoing
asset-based fee (rather than a commission on each individual
transaction) for investment advisory services such as investment
selection, asset allocation, execution of transactions, custody of
securities and account reporting services. The asset-based fee is
assessed monthly, in arrears. As a result, an investment advisory
services account may be more appropriate than a brokerage
account if you want ongoing investment advice and expect to
EJG Financial Planning is offered for a recurring Annual Fee. The
Annual Fee for the first year of enrollment typically ranges from
$5,000 to $45,000 but can increase up to a maximum of
$100,000 based on complexity considerations described below.
Financial plans addressing business interests are subject to an
additional charge of up to $25,000. The actual Annual Fee
charged to you for your first year of enrollment will be listed on
the Authorization and Agreement Form signed by you. The
Annual Fee, and any applicable Annual Fee Exceptions, are
subject to change each year and may be increased or decreased

Edward Jones.
from the prior year. You will be notified of the Annual Fee for each
successive year prior to your Renewal Date.
The Annual Fee for EJG Financial Planning is calculated based
on the complexity of the financial planning services to be
provided to you. In determining the complexity of the financial
planning services to be provided and the associated Annual Fee,
we consider your net worth which is informed by your assets and
liabilities, the complexity of your financial situation (e.g., number
of Additional Elements and EJG Enhanced Elements to be
addressed, variety and type of assets held, asset structure
including but not limited to business interests, and complexity of
income streams) and the anticipated scope of your planning
needs as well as the estimated level of service that the Planning
Team expects to provide to you. These factors are taken into
account to determine the appropriate Annual Fee within certain
bands set by Edward Jones; however, a client may pay more or
less than similar clients or clients that receive a similar level of
service.
If you decide to withdraw from EJG Financial Planning, you will
not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to Edward Jones for
an annual period in which you have received a completed
Financial Plan, inclusive of a Plan Delivery Extension if
applicable. If you have not yet received a completed Financial
Plan for a current annual period and have paid some or all of
your Annual Fee already, you may be entitled to a refund of the
fees paid during the active planning year if your Planning Team
has not completed at least three of the five Financial Planning
Components of your annual Financial Plan described in Section 4
above. The amount of such a refund will be at the discretion of
Edward Jones. If your annual Financial Plan is subject to a Plan
Delivery Extension and you have not received a completed
Financial Plan by the end of the Plan Delivery Extension period,
regardless of whether at least three of the five components have
been completed, Edward Jones will refund the amount of the
Annual Fee you have paid during such annual period inclusive of
the Plan Delivery Extension period.
Annual Fee Exceptions. Your Annual Fee in the initial year and/or
subsequent years may be lower than the Annual Fee listed above
in the following circumstances:
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other
Investment Products. Edward Jones generally pays a portion of
the fees described above to your Financial Advisor. Additionally,
as described above, the Generations Financial Planning Services
do not include specific investment recommendations or
implementation of the guidance or other recommendations
provided in the Financial Plan.
• Either Edward Jones or your financial advisor negotiates a
lower Annual Fee based on the size and scope of your
relationship with Edward Jones and/or the anticipated fees you
will pay to Edward Jones associated with your prospective
investment in fee-based Edward Jones Investment Advisory
Programs and/or use of Edward Jones Trust Company
products and services. Generally, your Annual Fee will be
negotiated lower where you plan to invest in our Investment
Advisory Programs and/or use Edward Jones Trust Company
products and services.
• You participated in the Generations pilot; in which case you
If you choose to implement your Financial Plan through Edward
Jones by purchasing, selling or enrolling in products and services
available through Edward Jones, your purchase, sale or
enrollment in such products and services will result in revenue to
Edward Jones and its affiliates. You will pay the fees and costs
associated with the purchase or sale of such products and
services.
may be eligible for a lower Annual Fee for an extended period
of time in exchange for your prior pilot participation and
feedback.
Reducing or waiving the Annual Fee is at the sole discretion of
Edward Jones. Reducing or waiving the fee for some clients and
not others creates a conflict of interest as some clients will pay a
lower or no Annual Fee. We address this conflict by disclosing it
to you.
Annual Fee Billing. The Annual Fee for the initial year of your
enrollment will be billed to you after you sign the Authorization
and Agreement Form. Generally, the Annual Fee for each
Renewal Period will be billed to you on or prior to each
successive Renewal Date. In the event Edward Jones increases
the Annual Fee, the change will be subject to the notice and
consent provisions set forth in the EJG Financial Planning
Agreement.
Your Planning Team will benefit by earning compensation when
you purchase, sell or enroll in products and services available
through Edward Jones. Financial advisors receive compensation
that differs depending on whether you purchase or sell products
in a brokerage account or whether you enroll in an advisory
account or financial planning service (For example, your financial
advisor will earn commissions and other transaction-based
compensation in a brokerage account. Whereas, with an advisory
account or financial planning service, your financial advisor will
earn a percentage of the advisory or financial planning fee.).
Planners, Portfolio Strategists, Estate Strategists and Tax
Strategists receive periodic bonuses that take into account
various metrics including financial metrics such as the number of
clients enrolled in Generations and the amount you invest at
Edward Jones, but the compensation does not differ based on
the type of product or service you purchase through Generations.
Additionally, your Planning Team receives firm profit-sharing
distributions. Financial advisors also are eligible for other cash
and non-cash compensation. Please refer to the “Understanding
how we are compensated for financial services” document found
at edwardjones.com/compensation for more information about
how Edward Jones, your Planning Team and affiliates are
Depending on when you enroll, different payment options may be
available to you, including, but not necessarily limited to, paying
in quarterly installments. Your method of payment will be selected
when you sign the Authorization and Agreement Form. If you
elect to pay the Annual Fee in quarterly installments per annum,
the fee must be deducted from an eligible account held at
Page 7 of 11 LGL-19371B-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

compensated.
will return in the future, and returns may be significantly different
than shown in your Financial Plan.
These financial incentives create a conflict between Edward
Jones’ interest, your Planning Team’s interests and your own.
We address these conflicts of interest through disclosures you
will receive at or before the time of your financial advisor’s or
Portfolio Strategist’s recommendations to you. Additionally,
financial advisors and Portfolio Strategists 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.
You have the option to implement your Financial Plan through
other brokers or investment advisers. As such, you should
consider that the fees you pay for such products and services at
Edward Jones may be lower or higher than if purchased through
another financial institution.
Risk of Loss
Your financial and personal situation will change over time,
including as you approach your financial goals, and you should
revisit your Financial Plan and the asset allocation for your
accounts periodically in light of changes in your circumstances
and financial situation. EJG Financial Planning does not include
implementing or real-time updating of the advice or investment
strategies recommended in your Financial Plan or real-time
monitoring of your financial situation or investment accounts.
Rather, your Financial Plan, and the advice and investment
strategies recommended in your Financial Plan, will be updated
prior to each Renewal Date or, more frequently at your specific
direction as described in Item 4 above. It is your responsibility to
diligently review your Financial Plan periodically and make
changes to update your investment strategy, including
rebalancing your investments as needed to meet your portfolio
objectives.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-
by-Side Management
Edward Jones and its supervised persons do not receive
performance-based fees in connection with this service.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Generally, EJG Financial Planning is available only to residents
of the United States and certain U.S. territories.
There is no guarantee that you will meet your goals or the
expected returns if you invest based on the recommendations in
your Financial Plan. All investment strategies and investments
involve risk. Any advice or recommendations provided within your
Financial Plan, if implemented, may result in one or more
accounts being 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 investment objectives will be
achieved.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Edward Jones collects information from you such as your goals
and purpose for investing, assets, risk tolerance, time horizon
(time frame over which you will be accumulating and/or
distributing your investments), and other personal and financial
information. This information is used in our financial planning
software and analytical tools to help create your Financial Plan.
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
The analysis contained in your Financial Plan is based on
Edward Jones’ long-term capital market assumptions for each
asset class. This includes an analysis of historical trends and our
global outlook to assist in projecting long-term expected
investment performance. Our capital market assumptions include
estimates for the risk and return of each asset class, and how
asset classes may perform in relation to one another. They are
developed by a team of investment professionals through a
variety of quantitative modeling techniques and qualitative
insights and are subject to change over time based on our
analytical judgment. Our asset class capital market assumptions
are used to derive the strategic asset allocation guidance and
performance expectations used within your Financial Plan.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports
Results in your Financial Plan are also derived from Monte Carlo
simulations. This simulation model calculates numerous possible
outcomes to help forecast events and investment performance.
Even though there is in-depth analysis behind these scenarios,
there is no guarantee the model will predict what asset classes

that were misleading. FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had
made changes to enhance its supervisory processes. As part of
the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of
$725,000.
“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.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation.
On December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
during the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal
controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities
and Affiliations
Edward Jones and our affiliates perform services outside of EJG
Financial Planning, including opening advisory accounts through
our Advisory Programs, the execution of brokerage transactions
through brokerage accounts (e.g., the purchase or sale of
securities or insurance products), the retail distribution of
securities (e.g., mutual funds), lending, the participation in
principal transactions and certain underwritings, and other
brokerage and investment advisory services.
State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration. On
January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January
2015 through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least
one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. §
1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without admitting or denying the findings in the
Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
Edward Jones and our affiliates receive compensation, including
fees and commissions, associated with these services outside of
EJG Financial Planning. We have a financial interest in our
clients’ transactions and the recommendations we make to
clients to buy or sell securities or investment products through
Edward Jones. Accordingly, we will offer you the option to
implement your Financial Plan through Edward Jones in a

determining if you want to implement some or all of your
Financial Plan with Edward Jones and are under no obligation
to do so.
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent
compliance consultant to assess the firm’s policies and systems
regarding electronic communications recordkeeping and assist
Edward Jones in further enhancing those policies and systems.
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families that may be
recommended if you implement your Financial Plan with Edward
Jones. Edward Jones receives revenue sharing payments from
certain unaffiliated mutual fund families on client assets.
“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 creates a conflict of interest in
the form of additional financial benefits to us, our financial
advisors, and equity owners. For more information regarding
revenue sharing, please visit edwardjones.com/disclosures or
request a revenue sharing disclosure document from your
Edward Jones financial advisor.

Trading
As described in Item 4, after you receive your initial Financial
Plan, a member of your Planning Team will attempt to set up a
consultation with you each year (or at such frequency as you
direct) while you are enrolled in EJG Financial Planning to revisit
your Financial Plan. After your Financial Plan is delivered to you,
initially and each time thereafter, it is your responsibility to
periodically review your current Financial Plan and it is your
choice whether to implement any or all of your Financial Plan.
EJG Financial Planning does not include implementing or
real-time updating of the advice or investment strategies
recommended in your Financial Plan or real-time monitoring of
your financial situation or investment accounts.
Edward Jones has established a Code of Ethics to ensure that
our associates:

discrepancy.
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 fee for Advisory Programs which is
dependent upon the referral or lead becoming a client in an
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
Advisory Program, the third party has an incentive to recommend
the prospect enroll in an Advisory Program.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
In addition to the 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.
Edward Jones does not have investment discretion as part of
EJG Financial Planning. Edward Jones and Edward Jones
personnel will not act upon such recommendations or advice
resulting from the Financial Plan unless requested by you to do
so. If you choose to implement your Financial Plan with Edward
Jones, your financial advisor and Portfolio Strategist will provide
a separate Investment Plan to you for your consideration. If you
choose to implement your Financial Plan with Edward Jones, you
can do so in one or more brokerage or advisory accounts. If you
decide to implement your plan in one of Edward Jones’
discretionary Advisory Programs, you will be giving Edward
Jones discretionary investment and trading authority over such
account(s). Refer to the specific Advisory Program brochures for
more detail at edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
From time to time, Edward Jones enters into cost sharing
arrangements with certain third-party referral relationships
wherein the referral relationships agree to pay a portion of
Edward Jones’ costs in providing services to clients. Cost sharing
benefits Edward Jones by offsetting costs Edward Jones would
otherwise bear.
Edward Jones does not vote client securities as part of Edward
Jones Generations Financial Planning.
Item 18: Financial Information
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
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 can influence our decision to
incorporate such product or service offering into an Edward
Jones Advisory Program.
Item 19: Requirements for State-Registered
Advisers
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors
(or their investment advisers) 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 also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and generally share in the
cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into any
agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its investment adviser
or its distributors or affiliates providing for payment of such
expenses as a condition of inclusion on the list of available
investments offered by Edward Jones. Our financial advisors are
not allowed to consider a product partner’s sponsorship of a
marketing activity when providing advice or making any
recommendation.

Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation
Before investing in Guided Solutions Flex, you should decide if
you are comfortable assuming responsibility for the day-to-day
management of your account. Investors in Guided Solutions Flex
typically:
• Want to be involved in the investment process and approve
final trade decisions
• Value the receipt of ongoing advice from Edward Jones when
making 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 Guided Solutions® Flex Account (“Guided
Solutions Flex”), the fees charged for our services and our
business practices. You should read this Brochure carefully and
consult with your tax professional before you decide to invest in
Guided Solutions Flex.
• Desire a disciplined approach to long-term investing and are
willing to adhere to an asset allocation strategy aligned with
Edward Jones’ guidance
• 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 some 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 through
Edward Jones or another broker-dealer or investment adviser.
Because Guided Solutions Flex 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 Guided Solutions Flex to
you. Other services you obtain through Edward Jones, including
other investment advisory and brokerage services, are separate
and distinct from Guided Solutions Flex 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.
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, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary
assets across all of our advisory programs.
You should consider that, depending on the circumstances, the
aggregate fees you will pay for investing in Guided Solutions may
be lower or higher than if you purchased the investments or
services separately at Edward Jones or through another broker-
dealer or investment adviser. Guided Solutions Flex 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. For example, the Guided
Solutions Flex fees described below will reduce the return you
earn on investments held in your account. If the Guided Solutions
Flex fees exceed the overall return on your investments, you will
experience negative performance in your account. Additionally, it
typically will cost you more, and Edward Jones and its financial
advisors will receive more revenue, when you hold duration-
based investments to maturity or over time in a Guided Solutions
Flex account rather than in a commission-based brokerage
account at Edward Jones (e.g., Certificates of Deposit (“CDs”),
bonds and cash equivalents).
The decision to invest in Guided Solutions Flex 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 Guided Solutions Flex, we will not begin providing you
advisory services until (a) our acceptance and approval of a
written Client Services Agreement (“CSA”) between you and
Edward Jones, and (b) funding of the account at the initial
minimum investment as determined by Edward Jones.
Guided Solutions Flex Overview
Guided Solutions Flex is a client-directed advisory program
sponsored by Edward Jones designed to provide the client with
ongoing investment advice, guidance and services for an asset-
based fee. The Guided Solutions Flex experience is rooted in the
Page 3 of 21 IAS-10455AB-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
working relationship between you and your Edward Jones financial
advisor. In consultation with your Edward Jones financial advisor,
you will select an appropriate portfolio objective for your Guided
Solutions Flex account (your “Account Portfolio Objective”).
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing
modest current interest income. Over the long term, it should
have higher risk than portfolios with a more income-oriented
objective.
Balanced toward Growth: This portfolio objective emphasizes
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.
Balanced Growth & Income: This portfolio objective has a
balanced emphasis between current interest income and
long-term growth with rising dividend potential. Over the long
term, it should have moderate risk.
Selecting Your Account Portfolio Objective. In order to invest
in Guided Solutions Flex, you will complete a Client Profile that
contains important information about your account, which
generally includes either your goal or purpose for investing and
your investment time horizon, risk tolerance and other financial
information. Your time horizon will reflect the expected time frame
over which 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.
Balanced toward Income: This portfolio objective emphasizes
current interest income while providing modest long-term growth
and rising dividend potential. Over the long term, it should have
lower to moderate risk.
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.
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”).
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.
Edward Jones constructs and periodically reviews the
recommended Target Ranges for each Account Portfolio
Objective in Guided Solutions Flex. Due to various influences
such as changing market conditions or a reclassification of an
Eligible Investment (defined below) to a different asset class, we
may change the Target Ranges of an Account Portfolio Objective.
If we change the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio
Objective, we will notify you to restore the alignment of your
investments with your Target Ranges, if necessary. For more
information, see “Account Alignment” below.
Edward Jones will have no authority to change your Account
Portfolio Objective without your instruction. To change your
Account Portfolio Objective, you must meet with your financial
advisor to select a new Account Portfolio Objective.
After you have selected your Account Portfolio Objective, you
may choose from among the investment options available for
Guided Solutions Flex (“Eligible Investments”) to implement your
Account Portfolio Objective.
When analyzing investments and developing recommendations
that may be appropriate for your account, we rely on a variety of
different sources of information. Such sources may include
research conducted by Edward Jones that covers a wide range
of Eligible Investments and investment research reports issued
by firms that are not affiliated with us.
Your Account Portfolio Objective determines the recommended
asset allocation and investment category ranges (“Target
Ranges”). In addition, Edward Jones’ applies certain guidelines
designed to monitor your Guided Solutions Flex account for
alignment with your Account Portfolio Objective (“Investment
Diagnostics”). The Investment Diagnostics pertain to certain
factors including, but not limited to, asset allocation, security and
equity sector concentration, bond diversification and fixed-income
laddering. One or more Investment Diagnostics assess holdings
in your other Edward Jones accounts, if any, assigned to the
same goal as your Guided Solutions Flex account. Please
contact your financial advisor to learn more about how
Investment Diagnostics help you achieve your financial goals.
The recommended Target Ranges, as well as Investment
Diagnostics, are determined solely by Edward Jones and can be
modified by Edward Jones without prior notice.
In addition, we may use certain Edward Jones investment tools
as a preliminary basis for recommending certain Eligible
Investments that align with your Account Portfolio Objective. The
use of such investment tools does not guarantee the
performance of your account or any investments therein or
protect against potential investment losses.
Account Portfolio Objectives in Guided Solutions Flex currently
include:
You decide how much to invest in each Eligible Investment within
the Target Ranges. You are also responsible for directing the
buying and selling of Eligible Investments in your account as
necessary to bring your account into alignment with the Target
Ranges for your Account Portfolio Objective.
You are responsible for all trading and investment decisions in
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.

of Edward Jones or your financial advisor in choosing among
Eligible Investments. Neither Edward Jones nor your financial
advisor will have discretionary authority for any trading or
investment decisions in your account, except as otherwise
described in this Brochure.
considerations. Such 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 such
investments available for Guided Solutions Flex and the
associated risks.
There is no guarantee that an Eligible Investment will perform in
any particular manner. Past performance is not a guarantee of
future results. Details about the mutual funds and/or ETFs in your
account can be found in the prospectus, statement of additional
information (“SAI”) and shareholder reports for each mutual fund
and ETF (collectively, “fund prospectus and other fund
documents”). It is important that you read these documents before
investing.
Investment 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.
Eligible Investments. Through Guided Solutions Flex, clients can
choose from an extensive list of Eligible Investments selected by
Edward Jones that primarily includes stocks, bonds, affiliated
mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”) across a variety of asset classes, as well as bonds, CDs,
and cash equivalents. “Affiliated mutual funds” refers to mutual
funds managed by an affiliate of Edward Jones, which consist of
the Bridge Builder family of mutual funds (“Bridge Builder Funds”)
and the Edward Jones Money Market Fund (“Money Market
Fund”). Generally, you may purchase affiliated mutual funds in
Guided Solutions Flex. However, 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. Please note that Eligible
Investments for Guided Solutions Flex may not be offered in
Edward Jones Guided Solutions® Fund accounts or our other
advisory programs. Certain Eligible Investments are only available
in taxable accounts.
Ineligible Investments. You will not be able to hold any
investment in your account that Edward Jones has deemed
ineligible for Guided Solutions Flex (“Ineligible Investments”) or
that is unavailable for your Account. In the event that Edward
Jones re-categorizes an investment from an Eligible Investment
to an Ineligible Investment, Edward Jones will notify you, and you
must instruct Edward Jones to remove the investment from your
account within the time frame established for Guided Solutions
Flex, as determined by Edward Jones, in our sole discretion.
The Money Market Fund is affiliated with Edward Jones but is not
available to purchase as an Eligible Investment for Guided
Solutions Flex. However, cash balances awaiting investment or
reinvestment in your account will be automatically swept into the
Money Market Fund, where they will be held until invested in
another Eligible Investment. Please refer to Appendix A for more
information about the Money Market Fund.
Until the Ineligible Investment is replaced, there is a possibility
that additional shares of the Ineligible 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 an Ineligible Investment and
the eventual mandatory removal of such shares may result in a
taxable event.
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. Bridge Builder Funds and
the Money Market Fund are affiliated with Edward Jones.
If you do not provide instructions to remove an Ineligible
Investment within the time frame established by Edward Jones,
your account will be removed from Guided Solutions Flex. See
“Termination of Guided Solutions Flex Services” for more
information.
Your account’s asset allocation may include a cash allocation held
in the Money Market Fund through the automatic 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, you may determine with your financial advisor to
increase the amount of cash you hold in your portfolio. The portion
of your Guided Solutions Flex account held in the Money Market
Fund or other cash vehicles will be included in the calculation of
your Guided Solutions Flex Fee (defined below). CDs are treated
as fixed-income investments for purposes of your asset allocation
and not cash.
Account Alignment. Edward Jones will review your account
periodically and notify you when your account is out of alignment
with the Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for your
Account Portfolio Objective. If your account is out of alignment for
any reason, including, but not limited to, market volatility, an
investment becoming an Ineligible Investment for Guided
Solutions Flex and/or the purchase or sale of an investment, you
will be responsible for realigning your account within the time
frame established for Guided Solutions Flex as determined by
Edward Jones. To realign your account, you must provide
instructions to Edward Jones to buy one or more investments in
your account, to sell one or more investments and reinvest the
proceeds in your account, to sell an investment and transfer the
Values-Based and Sustainable Investing. Certain available
investments may incorporate values-based or sustainable
investment strategies. Values-based investing considers a client’s
personal beliefs and values, while sustainable investing
incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)

account or to deposit additional assets in your account. Such
transactions may result in tax consequences as well as additional
fees and expenses.
If you and your financial advisor determine extra flexibility is
needed for a period of time, Edward Jones may provide such
flexibility without requiring alignment adjustments under certain
circumstances such as permitting additional time for portfolio
implementation, or for tax or personal reasons. Until alignment
occurs, your Account may be exposed to greater risk than your
Account Portfolio Objective and/or Goal Portfolio Objective given
the deviation from your Target Ranges.
Your Guided Solutions Flex account does not offer an automatic
rebalancing feature. In the event you do not provide instructions
to Edward Jones to realign your account within the required time
frame, your account will be removed from Guided Solutions Flex.
Your financial advisor is not responsible under the terms of
Guided Solutions Flex for monitoring your other Edward Jones
accounts, if you have them, on an ongoing basis. However, if you
have multiple Edward Jones accounts that are linked to a Goal
Portfolio Objective, your financial advisor may recommend that
you consider placing a trade in one or more of your other Edward
Jones accounts, rather than realigning your Guided Solutions
Flex account, in order to address certain Investment Diagnostics.
Trade Allocation. Some Guided Solutions Flex trades may be
combined with trades for other client accounts and executed in
aggregated block trades. From time to time, the volume and/or
number of trades that are directed by clients to be executed for
Guided Solutions Flex accounts may exceed Edward Jones’
operational and technological capacities if these trades are
directed on a single day. For example, this may occur if Edward
Jones is re-categorizing an investment from an Eligible
Investment to an Ineligible Investment. In order to maintain the
orderly processing of trades and to minimize the incidence of
errors, Edward Jones may allocate trades based on the time of
order entry. In certain circumstances, this process may take
several days or weeks. Although designed to be fair and
equitable over time, this may result in clients receiving different
prices. In addition, if the volume or size of redemptions required
to be effected as a result of re-categorizing a mutual fund from an
Eligible Investment to an Ineligible Investment exceeds the limits
set forth in the mutual fund’s trading policies and procedures, the
mutual fund may exceed the standard settlement period to
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 a random allocation process to effect the redemptions over
time in a manner consistent with the limits set forth in the mutual
fund’s trading policies and procedures.
Additionally, at times, Investment Diagnostics limit or restrict
certain transactions in your account or require you to realign your
account with our guidance, including, but not limited to, Target
Ranges. If you are limited or restricted from purchasing a security
in your Guided Solutions Flex account, you may elect to
purchase, or based on your specific situation, your financial
advisor may recommend you purchase the same security in an
Edward Jones brokerage account.
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, we 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. When using an error
account, we engage in principal transactions. This means that we
will transact with you from our own inventory of securities. 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.
When you place trades in a brokerage account that could be
placed in your Guided Solutions Flex account or another fee-
based investment advisory account at Edward Jones, a conflict of
interest exists as Edward Jones and your financial advisor will
earn compensation on the transactions, such as commissions
and/or mark-ups or mark-downs, that you would not bear if such
transactions were placed in your Guided Solutions Flex account
or another fee-based account at Edward Jones. Such transaction
fees would be in addition to the asset-based advisory fee that you
pay for assets held within your Guided Solutions Flex account or
other fee-based account at Edward Jones.
Principal Trading. Edward Jones may execute trades for Guided
Solutions Flex accounts as principal by selling a security from our
inventory to you or purchasing a security from you for our
inventory. Principal transactions include certain transactions that
you have directed Edward Jones to execute in a principal
capacity, fractional share liquidations and corrections of trades
originally executed in an agency capacity.
Principal transactions cause a conflict between Edward Jones’
and your interests, including when Edward Jones generates
additional revenue due to market movement, resulting in gains on
our inventory positions. Edward Jones also has an incentive to
Brokerage Services. You are solely responsible for all trading
decisions in your account, and Edward Jones will execute trades
only at your direction, except as otherwise described in this
Brochure. When Edward Jones executes trades for your account,
we are not acting as an investment adviser, but solely as a
broker-dealer. Trading in your account will be subject to our trading
policies and practices. You will not be charged trade commissions
or mark-ups for Guided Solutions Flex trades. However, Guided
Solutions Flex may cost you more or less than purchasing advisory
services and brokerage services separately, depending on certain
factors such as the frequency of your trading. You cannot request

recommend the purchase of a security held in our inventory that
is difficult to sell, a conflict addressed by Edward Jones’ policies
and procedures. In certain principal transactions, Edward Jones
will provide required disclosures and obtain your verbal consent
prior to the trade.
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 Guided Solutions Flex
program or covered by the Guided Solutions Flex 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.
Margin Loans. Eligible non-retirement account clients may
obtain margin loans collateralized by marginable securities held
in their accounts. Margin loans for Guided Solutions Flex
accounts may be used for “Personal Line of Credit Loans” or
“Overdraft Coverage,” but may not be used for the purpose of
purchasing securities on credit. When Edward Jones extends a
margin loan to you, it is not acting as an investment adviser but
solely as a broker-dealer. In making the decision to take out a
margin loan, it is important you understand the risks associated
with using margin, the costs of margin loans, and how the
performance of your account may be negatively affected. Please
see the Edward Jones Margin Disclosure Statement and the
Statement of Credit Terms (the “Margin Disclosure”) for a
discussion of the risks as well as “Margin Risk” below before
taking out a margin loan. The Margin Disclosure also includes a
discussion of the costs of margin loans. As discussed below, you
will pay interest charges on your margin loans in addition to the
Guided Solutions Flex Fee. Before taking out a margin loan in
your Guided Solutions Flex account, first evaluate the intended
duration of the loan and your other options, including alternative
loan options or liquidating securities. It is our view that margin
loans are most appropriate when short in duration. To the extent
that a margin call is triggered in connection with your account and
we are forced to sell any securities or other assets to satisfy the
margin call, we will act solely in our capacity as a broker-dealer
and lender (and not as an investment adviser). Moreover, if
selling such securities in order to satisfy a margin call, we will
prioritize our interest over your interests.
You are 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.
Custody. Assets in your account are held at Edward Jones as
broker-dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets
in your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties
and responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones as sub-
custodian.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
Further terms and conditions applicable to this
Class Action Claim Filing Service can be found at
edwardjones.com/accountfeatures.
• 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
• Disbursing funds from your account
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. If
EJTC is the custodian, the account statement will be sent by
Edward Jones on behalf of EJTC.
Termination of Guided Solutions Flex Services. You or
Edward Jones may terminate your participation in Guided
Solutions Flex at any time without any advisory termination fee.
While oral instructions to terminate your participation in Guided
Solutions Flex are generally acceptable, Edward Jones, in our
sole discretion, may require written notice in order to terminate
Guided Solutions Flex advisory services for your account.
Class Action Claim Filing Service. Edward Jones partners 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,
Upon notice of termination of your Guided Solutions Flex
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.
Liquidation of securities held in your account may cause a
taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.
In the event of a transfer of mutual funds and/or fund share
classes that cannot be held outside of your Guided Solutions Flex
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.
Upon notice of termination, if you fail to instruct Edward Jones as
to the disposition of assets in your account, your account’s
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 the money market fund). Any transactions
will be subject to fees, commissions and sales charges applicable
to Edward Jones brokerage accounts.
In general, 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. When a
mutual fund company offers multiple share class options for a
mutual fund, and you have instructed us to transfer such mutual
fund to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or you fail to
provide instructions and your assets are transferred to a Limited
Services Account, as defined below, then Edward Jones will
determine, in our sole discretion, what share class to convert
your mutual fund holding into when transferring your mutual fund
holding to the Edward Jones Select brokerage account or Limited
Services Account. Mutual fund share class conversions can result
in higher or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under
the previous share class and liquidations may cause a taxable
event.
Fees
Every Guided Solutions Flex account pays asset-based fees
(referred to as your “Guided Solutions Flex Fee”). Your Guided
Solutions Flex Fee includes a Program Fee and a Platform Fee,
less any applicable fee reduction and/or fee offset (as discussed
more fully below). In addition to your Guided Solutions Flex Fee,
affiliated mutual funds and unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs
that you purchase or that are held in your account have internal
fees and expenses that are described in the prospectus of each
fund. These internal fees and expenses vary depending on the
mutual fund or ETF.
The following section explains:
In the event Edward Jones is notified by a receiving firm that a
transfer of securities from your Guided Solutions Flex account is
being rejected in part or whole by such receiving firm Edward
Jones will liquidate the rejected securities and transfer the cash
to such receiving firm.
• The fees and expenses
• How the fees and expenses are calculated and paid
• Potential fee reductions and offsets you may receive from
Edward Jones
Bridge Builder funds are only available to be purchased or held
by you in Edward Jones’ advisory programs. 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 an account at
another financial institution. The 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 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.
The Program Fee
Each Guided Solutions Flex 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. The Program Fee is assessed up to a
maximum annual fee rate of 1.35%, payable monthly in arrears.
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.
The Platform Fee
A Platform Fee is charged on accounts enrolled in Guided
Solutions Flex for the support and maintenance of accounts on
the Edward Jones investment advisory platform, such as trading
and risk tools, training and education, and ongoing platform
development. This fee is in addition to the Program Fee. The
Platform Fee is assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of
0.05%, payable monthly in arrears.
How the Guided Solutions Flex Fee Is Calculated
The Guided Solutions Flex Fee, which includes the Program Fee
and the Platform Fee, is based on the market value of all assets
held in your account, including stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed
If you sell the assets in your account, your proceeds will be
available upon settlement of the trades generated to complete
the liquidation. 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. If you instruct Edward Jones to liquidate equity
securities in your account which include fractional shares, as an
accommodation Edward Jones will purchase such fractional
share(s) as principal into its own account at market value without
a mark-up or mark-down. Edward Jones may make a profit on its
inventory due to market movements.

account in your Pricing Group, will be added to your Pricing Group.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have questions about
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.
In addition, the Guided Solutions Flex Fee may be lower than the
above stated maximum annual fee rate in the following
circumstances:
• 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
income holdings, and cash equivalents, including shares of the
Money Market Fund and third-party money market funds. Margin
loan balances, if any, do not reduce the market value of your
account for the purposes of calculating the Guided Solutions Flex
Fee. However, for taxable accounts, the value of any fixed-
income syndicate offerings acquired and held in your account will
be excluded from the Guided Solutions Flex Fee calculation for a
period of time as determined by Edward Jones. The Guided
Solutions Flex Fee is assessed at an annual fee rate (shown
above), payable monthly in arrears. Accounts with higher values
generally pay lower fee rates than accounts with lower values.
The fees assessed by Edward Jones will reduce your account’s
overall returns and performance.
Pricing Group.
Reducing, up to and including a waiver, the Guided Solutions
Flex Fee is at the sole discretion of Edward Jones and may result
in clients being charged differently for the same or similar
services.
The Guided Solutions Flex Fee is charged to your account each
month in arrears. If your Guided Solutions Flex account is open
for part of a month, then you will pay a fee based on the number
of days your account was open and invested in Guided Solutions
Flex. The amount you pay is determined by the average daily
market value of the assets held in your account for the previous
month.
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.
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.
Other members of the Pricing Group will receive the same
disclosure upon request.
Your Pricing Group is based on the following criteria:
Fee Reductions
If your Guided Solutions Flex 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 Guided Solutions Flex.
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 Guided Solutions Flex 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 Guided Solutions Flex but
did not purchase them through Edward Jones, you will not
receive a fee reduction.
1. Your single, joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan and IRA
accounts are grouped together if they are registered at the
same address and share one or more of the following: (a) the
same last name, (b) the same Social Security number, or (c)
the same Edward Jones Relationship Group. (If you have
worked with your financial advisor to group your account with
other accounts for the purpose of planning and establishing
financial goals, that is a Relationship Group. Your
Relationship Group may be the same as your Pricing Group.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any
questions about your Relationship Group.)
2. Your revocable trust accounts are grouped with your single,
joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan, IRA or other
revocable trust accounts if they are registered at the same
address and use the same tax ID number for tax reporting.

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.
trust, LLC, partnership and sole proprietorship accounts are
grouped with other accounts of the same type if they are
registered at the same address and use the same tax ID
number for tax reporting. These types of accounts will be
grouped with each other, but not with other account types.
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

account, but that meet the above criteria with another person’s

amount received to your account.
share classes with different fees and expenses for each share
class. 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 as Eligible Investments for
Guided Solutions Flex.
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 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 contains a detailed
discussion of our affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds.
Internal fees and expenses are in addition to the Guided
Solutions Flex 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.
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).
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.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund: JFC directly owns 100% of
Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), the
adviser of the 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 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.
Any internal fees and expenses charged by a mutual fund or ETF
will reduce your account’s overall returns and investment
performance.
Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the
Guided Solutions Flex Fee
In addition to the Guided Solutions Flex Fee described above,
clients will pay Edward Jones interest on margin loans, if
applicable, as set forth in the Margin Disclosure. A client may pay
for other services including, but not limited to, debit and check-
writing fees, estate service fees and fees to distribute an account
pursuant to a transfer on death agreement.
Also, the Guided Solutions Flex Fee does not cover the following
(if applicable to your account): transfer taxes; electronic fund,
wire and other account transfer fees; internal fees and expenses
incurred by mutual funds or ETFs purchased for your account;
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.
How the Guided Solutions Flex Fee is Paid
The Guided Solutions Flex Fee is deducted directly from your
Guided Solutions Flex account and paid using the cash portion of
your account, which may include cash or assets invested in the
Money Market Fund. If there is not sufficient cash or assets
invested in the Money Market Fund, we are authorized to sell a
sufficient amount of assets held in your account to pay the Guided
Solutions Flex Fee. Edward Jones will first sell a sufficient amount
of shares of mutual funds held in your account to pay the Guided
Solutions Flex Fee. If there are not sufficient assets in the mutual
funds held in your account, Edward Jones will sell a sufficient
amount of shares of ETFs or equity securities, and then a sufficient
amount of fixed-income securities necessary to pay the Guided
Solutions Flex Fee. If Edward Jones sells mutual funds, ETFs,
equity securities or fixed-income securities, this may result in your
account being out of alignment with the Target Ranges for your
Account Portfolio Objective or with the Investment Diagnostics for
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 a mutual fund or ETF in a taxable account may
result in a taxable event. Securities transactions effected to pay the
Guided Solutions Flex Fee may necessitate odd-lot sales. Odd-lot
sales may result in less favorable pricing conditions. At the sole
discretion of Edward Jones, you may be allowed to pay your
Guided Solutions Flex Fee from an alternate Edward Jones
account.
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
account but not yet invested in Eligible Investments or swept into
the Money Market Fund 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 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.
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
Internal Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds and
ETFs, Including Redemption Fees
Mutual funds (including affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds)
and ETFs have internal management fees and ongoing expenses
for operating the funds (“internal fees and expenses”) that are
deducted from the fund’s assets, which has the effect of reducing
the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Many mutual funds that are
Eligible Investments in Guided Solutions Flex have different

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).
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 Account Portfolio Objective or Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable) you select. As a result, your financial advisor does not
have a financial incentive to recommend one Account or Goal
Portfolio Objective over another. Your financial advisor does not
receive a portion of the Platform Fee.
Most financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward
Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which
includes domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu
of a trip. Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon
the amount of new and existing assets under care of a financial
advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
These financial incentives create a conflict between Edward
Jones’ interest, your financial advisor’s interest, and your own.
Similarly, the Program Fee rate paid to your financial advisor will
be the same regardless of the advisory program in which you
invest. However, your financial advisor also may receive
compensation in connection with margin loans in Guided
Solutions Flex as described below. As a result, and if you would
be eligible for margin lending but ineligible for the Edward Jones
securities-based lending offering called the Edward Jones
Reserve Line of Credit (“Reserve Line”), available in some other
Edward Jones investment advisory services, your financial
advisor will have a financial incentive to recommend Guided
Solutions Flex over another advisory program.
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.
For further information on compensation and conflicts of interest,
please see the “Understanding how we are compensated for
financial services” document found at
edwardjones.com/compensation.
If you use margin in your account, Edward Jones will receive
revenue as a result of charging interest on your margin loan. As a
result, there is a material conflict of interest between you and us
in connection with margin loans, which we address through
disclosure in this Brochure. For example, if you take out or
maintain a margin loan rather than withdraw money from your
Guided Solutions Flex account, we retain the Guided Solutions
Flex Fee that such assets are otherwise generating and charge
you interest on any outstanding margin loan balances.
Depending on your specific circumstances, including the intended
duration of the margin loan and the return on your account, over
the long term it may cost you more to take out the margin loan
than if you had pursued an alternative loan option or liquidated
securities and withdrawn the sale proceeds from your account.
Additional Disclosure of Services, Fees and Other
Compensation
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure. This Brochure contains
disclosures designed to assist the named fiduciary or other
responsible plan fiduciaries of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA (the “Plan”) in determining the reasonableness of the
fees and compensation Edward Jones may receive as a service
provider to the Plan. Guided Solutions Flex is an investment
advisory program offered by Edward Jones. The services
provided through Guided Solutions Flex are described in Item 4
above and in Section 1 of the CSA.
Although Edward Jones receives more revenue from a margin
loan than a loan through the Reserve Line available in the other
advisory programs, your financial advisor is compensated the
same on both types of loans. You are encouraged to carefully
consider the total cost of taking out any margin loan, and any
additional compensation to us or your financial advisor, when
determining to take out and/or maintain a margin loan.
For a description of the fees that may be directly charged to the
Plan in connection with Guided Solutions Flex, refer to Fees in
Item 4 and the Guided Solutions Flex Schedule of Fees.
Edward Jones could receive compensation from sources other
than the Plan in connection with services provided. For a
discussion of other potential sources of compensation, see Item
9 below.
For a discussion of termination fees that may apply see
“Termination of Guided Solutions Flex Services” and “Other Fees
and Expenses Not Included in the Guided Solutions Flex Fee” in
this Item 4.
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 a Guided Solutions Flex 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 Guided Solutions
Flex. This creates a financial incentive for your financial advisor
to recommend Guided Solutions Flex instead of brokerage
services.
Edward Jones and its affiliates may benefit from other
compensation as described in Item 9B under “Client Referrals
and Other Compensation.”
The Program Fee, as well as assets under care and client margin

compensation.
Benefit Plans (individually, “Benefit Plan”) include pension or
other employee benefit plans governed by ERISA, a tax-qualified
retirement plan (including a Keogh plan, an Edward Jones-
sponsored Owner K® plan or a “single owner 401(k)” plan in
which the only eligible plan participants are the business owner
and/or his or her spouse) under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Savings
Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE”) IRAs, Simplified
Employee Pension (“SEP”) IRAs, traditional IRAs linked to an
Edward Jones SEP IRA and other applicable retirement plans.
Comparing Costs, Expenses and Services
The Program Fee is a fee for investment advisory 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.” Guided Solutions Flex may cost you more or less
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.
Edward Jones can prohibit any person or entity from investing or
remaining in Guided Solutions Flex 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 intend to invest in
Guided Solutions Flex for a minimum of three (3) years.
You can choose to forgo the services of Guided Solutions Flex
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.
You will not be able to purchase certain fixed-income securities if
your account value is below $50,000. We can change the
minimum at our discretion. However, you will be able to hold
eligible fixed-income securities in your account regardless of
account value. For example, if you purchased a bond when your
account value exceeded $50,000, you can continue to hold that
bond even if your account value declines. If you hold less than
$50,000 in your account, additional purchases of fixed income
holdings will be limited to mutual funds and ETFs that invest in
fixed income securities.
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.
If, at any time, you transfer mutual funds into a Guided Solutions
Flex account and those mutual funds are current Eligible
Investments but in a different share class from those held for
Guided Solutions Flex, Edward Jones is authorized to convert
those shares into a different share class eligible to be held in
Guided Solutions Flex. For more information about share
classes, please refer to the Risk of Loss section below.
Mutual fund shares held in your Guided Solutions Flex 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 Guided
Solutions Flex 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 Guided Solutions Flex.
Assets in your Guided Solutions Flex account will not be used to
pay any adjustment(s) that apply in the event you fail to satisfy
the LOI.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types
of Clients
Your initial investment in a Guided Solutions Flex account must
generally be at least $25,000. You can fund your Guided Solutions
Flex account with cash and/or securities. If you establish your
Guided Solutions Flex account and/or later add to your account
with Ineligible Investments, you shall give instructions to Edward
Jones to liquidate or redeem those Ineligible Investments 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 connection with such
transactions and will sell those securities at no commission.
Edward Jones will not provide advice and/or guidance regarding
the securities being sold to fund the Guided Solutions Flex
account. Trades that occur in a taxable account may cause a
taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.
The total value of your account is monitored by Edward Jones.
If the value of your account falls significantly (for example, a
balance of $10,000 or below), we may, in our discretion, remove
your account from Guided Solutions Flex.
Edward Jones offers clients a wide range of financial services.
Guided Solutions Flex may not be appropriate for every client or
every account type. Generally, Guided Solutions Flex 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.
If you request a transfer of securities from your Guided Solutions
Flex 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 Guided Solutions Flex
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 could result
Page 12 of 21 IAS-10455AB-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
level of a fund
in higher or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under
the previous share class and liquidations may cause a taxable
event.
The appropriate Target Ranges for each Account Portfolio
Objective are based on the Edward Jones investment categories.
Depending on market volatility, the asset allocations in your
account will sometimes depart from the Target Ranges for your
Account Portfolio Objective.
Different asset classes will perform better than others, resulting in
an asset allocation that may have more or less risk than you may
want. In order to keep your account in alignment, you should
monitor and realign your account if the asset allocations have
deviated significantly from the Target Ranges or Investment
Diagnostics for your Account Portfolio Objective.
Item 6: Guided Solutions Flex Investment
Selection and Evaluation
Guided Solutions Flex is a client-directed wrap fee program
sponsored by Edward Jones. No third-party investment advisers,
no related persons or Edward Jones-supervised persons serve
as portfolio managers in Guided Solutions Flex. In consultation
with your Edward Jones financial advisor, you will select your
Account Portfolio Objective and Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable) and Eligible Investments for your account. For more
information, see Item 4.
The objective of investing in a variety of Eligible Investments in
various types of asset classes allocated in the Target Ranges is
to construct a portfolio designed to experience less volatility and
show more consistent performance over time. There is no
guarantee that this goal will be achieved.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
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.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
Edward Jones selects the Eligible Investments available in
Guided Solutions Flex based on numerous quantitative and
qualitative 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 Program Eligible
Investments.
Each Eligible Investment will 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 (as applicable),
risks, fees and expenses, and past performance of each Eligible
Investment before deciding to invest in Guided Solutions Flex.
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.
Additionally, you may also invest in certain investments that
employ non-traditional strategies. Such investments may hold
non-traditional investments or use complex investment and
trading strategies. Investments that utilize derivatives or leverage,
as an example, can be complex and increase the risk of volatility
and loss of investment. Other potential risks may include, but are
not limited to: the investment performs in a manner that is difficult
to understand relative to traditional investments; lack of liquidity;
credit risk; counterparty risk; and adverse tax consequences.
Such investments contain unique characteristics and risks. Refer,
as applicable, to the fund prospectus and other fund documents
that describe risks specific to each fund. Information about each
Eligible Investment can be obtained from your financial advisor.
Eligible Investments (other than affiliated mutual funds) undergo
periodic review by Edward Jones to determine if they remain
suitable for Guided Solutions Flex. An Eligible Investment can be
re-categorized from an Eligible Investment to an Ineligible
Investment for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to,
the following:
• Inconsistency with Edward Jones’ investment philosophy
• Regulatory concerns
• Termination of an agreement with a mutual fund company
• Lack of ongoing financial information
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.
• A decision by Edward Jones to reduce the overall ownership
Page 13 of 21 IAS-10455AB-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
Companies also may not operate as expected or fail to meet the
desired ESG or value-based characteristics over time.
Depending on the Eligible Investments you select, your account
may also be subject to the following risks:
Please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus and other fund
documents for more information regarding the available share
classes of mutual funds used in Guided Solutions Flex. In our
sole discretion, Edward Jones can change the share class of any
mutual fund at any time without prior notice to you.
Concentration Risk. An account with a limited number of
Eligible Investments may experience more volatility than a more
diversified account with a larger number of Eligible Investments.
Redemptions. 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, re-categorizes a mutual fund from an Eligible Investment
to an Ineligible Investment. If the resulting volume or size of
redemptions directed by accounts in Guided Solutions Flex as a
result of the re-categorization 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 minimize any potential adverse impact to accounts in Guided
Solutions Flex, but there is no assurance that you will be able to
avoid the risk of loss and other adverse consequences.
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. The value 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
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. Mutual fund investments in Guided Solutions Flex
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 Guided Solutions Flex, 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 Guided Solutions Flex, 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
associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock is a class of capital stock
that typically pays dividends at a specified rate.
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
Class A shares are selected in Guided Solutions Flex, 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.
Preferred stock is generally senior to common stock but
subordinate to debt securities with respect to the payment of
Page 14 of 21 IAS-10455AB-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
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).
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.
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.
Certificate of Deposit Risk. The price of a CD in the secondary
market is governed by prevailing interest rates. If a CD is sold
before it matures, you may receive less than the original
purchase price if interest rates are higher. Edward Jones, though
not obligated to do so, may maintain a secondary market in the
CD after the purchase which allows CDs to be sold on any
business day. Rates paid on CDs may be lower or higher than
the rates available directly through the bank that is issuing the
CD. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of CDs
and other bank deposits that you hold with any one bank for
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits.
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.
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.
Margin Risk. Our financial advisors provide information and
education regarding the availability of margin loans. However,
you decide whether to borrow money from us and you decide
when and how to pay back any loans. There are certain risks and
conflicts of interest that arise when we make margin loans in our
role as lender and broker-dealer rather than investment adviser,
including (i) the interest rate charged in connection with your loan
may be higher than those charged by other lenders and is in
addition to the Program Fee; (ii) we may require additional
collateral if there is a decline in the market value of the securities
that secure your margin loan; (iii) we can sell any securities in
your account to satisfy a margin call without notice to you; (iv) we
may be required to liquidate securities we would otherwise not
recommend you sell, and which may not otherwise be in your
best interests to sell, to satisfy a margin call; (v) you are not
entitled to select which securities are liquidated to satisfy a
margin call and we can sell securities that you wish to retain or
that have a low tax basis without regard to your wishes or any
adverse tax consequences of a sale; (vi) depending on market
conditions, the prices obtained for the securities may be less than
favorable and may be less than the value that we or you believe
the securities are worth; (vii) the timing of securities sales in
connection with a margin call will be different than if those
securities were not used as collateral in connection with a margin
loan, and may negatively impact the performance of your account
and interrupt your investment strategy; (viii) a situation could
arise where the value of your account is zero and you still owe
money on a loan; and (ix) with respect to the margin loan and
collateral, we will act in the capacity of a lender and may take the
actions described above, which may be in conflict with your best
interest and our role as an investment adviser to your Guided
Solutions Flex account. Any action taken by us against the
securities in your Guided Solutions Flex account pursuant to the
use of margin will not constitute a breach of our fiduciary duties
as an investment adviser.
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.
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
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
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
Page 15 of 21 IAS-10455AB-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

of privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, reputational damage,
reimbursement costs and additional compliance costs, as well as
the inadvertent release of confidential information.
Item 8: Client Contact with Edward Jones
You may contact your Edward Jones financial Advisor during
normal business hours with questions regarding your account.
Item 9: Additional Information
A. Disciplinary Information and Other Financial
Industry Activities and Affiliations
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.
Disciplinary Information
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
Tax Considerations
Guided Solutions Flex does not provide tax efficient strategies or
tax advice. Your financial advisor may take into account tax
considerations as one factor among others when making
investment and trading recommendations for your account.
However, Guided Solutions Flex does not provide quantitative or
programmatic tax loss or gain harvesting services and will not
monitor for tax consequences on an ongoing basis. You should
consult with your tax advisor for tax advice, including advice on
potential tax consequences.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
Voting Proxies
When you invest in Guided Solutions Flex, you are solely
responsible for voting proxies arising from any securities held in
your account. Edward Jones will not take any action and will not
render any advice regarding how to vote proxies arising from any
securities held in your account. You may receive proxy-related
materials and notices from Edward Jones or the applicable
securities issuer or mutual fund or ETF sponsor, and you will be
responsible for voting proxies.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection with
its investigation of the supervision of the use and dissemination of
reports generated through Edward Jones’ systems by financial
advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its review of 65,000 reports
did not reveal any instances of reports that were misleading.
FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had made changes to
enhance its supervisory processes. As part of the settlement,
Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $725,000.
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.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation. On
December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely, and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail records
that are not required broker-dealer books and records and (2)
failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records during the
pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was censured,
agreed to certify that it has established and implemented policies,
procedures, processes and internal controls reasonably designed
to address and remediate the issues identified by FINRA in the
settlement, and agreed to pay a monetary fine of $1.1 million.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to
Edward Jones
Client information provided to Edward Jones will be maintained in
accordance with our privacy policies.
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 9B below.
State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration. On
January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January 2015
through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least one
employee as an investment adviser representative in Pennsylvania

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.
in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the Pennsylvania Securities
Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. § 1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without
admitting or denying the findings in the Order, Edward Jones
agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000 and to comply with the
relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement with
the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide investigation
into the preservation of electronic communications pursuant to
applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Section 204
of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and
supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Exchange Act
and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and applicable rules
thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with the SEC’s
investigation and has enhanced its policies and procedures
concerning the use of approved communication methods. The
settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and censure,
requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty of $50
million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with undertakings
including the retention of an independent compliance consultant to
assess the firm’s policies and systems regarding electronic
communications recordkeeping and assist Edward Jones in further
enhancing those policies and systems.
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families that are available
as Eligible Investments through Guided Solutions Flex. 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
considering revenue sharing from existing business relationships
when selecting Eligible Investments for Guided Solutions Flex.
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 financial advisor. Edward Jones
does not receive revenue sharing on assets held in Guided
Solutions Flex accounts. Edward Jones and our financial
advisors also receive compensation for services and
recommendations that may differ from advice given to you while
participating in Guided Solutions Flex.
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.
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.
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.
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 Guided Solutions Flex, including the execution of
brokerage transactions (e.g., the purchase or sale of securities or
insurance products), 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
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 Guided Solutions Flex and other Edward

Jones programs. For additional information about this
arrangement, please see Item 4.
Eligible Investments in Guided Solutions Flex. These brokerage
activities are done in the regular course of our 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.
Edward Jones owns directly or indirectly 100% of three insurance
agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance
Agency of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited
liability company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of
California, L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
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.
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones
associates (including those directly involved with Guided
Solutions Flex) and/or their family members are permitted to and
do invest in Guided Solutions Flex. 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.
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.
B. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading;
Review of Accounts; Client Referrals and Other
Compensation; and Financial Information
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.
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
• 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
Review of Accounts
At the time your Guided Solutions Flex account is opened, Edward
Jones’ supervisory associates will review your selected Account
Portfolio Objective and the funding of your account. 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 Guided Solutions Flex,
including the fees and expenses you are or will be paying.
• 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
While you are invested in Guided Solutions Flex, Edward Jones
will review your account monthly to determine whether your
account moves out of alignment with the Target Ranges for your
Account Portfolio Objective or with the Investment Diagnostics for
your account and will notify you if your account is out of
alignment. If this happens, you should work with your financial
advisor to determine what adjustments are needed to bring your
account back into alignment. In the event that you do not provide
instructions to bring your account back into alignment within a
time period determined by Edward Jones, your account will be
removed from Guided Solutions Flex. For more information on
account alignment, see Item 4.
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 Eligible Investments, including asset
allocations. 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.
In addition, you and your financial advisor must annually review
whether there have been any changes to your financial
circumstances including, but not limited to, your risk tolerance,
Account Portfolio Objective and Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable).
If you decide to invest in a different Account Portfolio Objective,
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 Guided Solutions Flex buy securities that are also
Page 18 of 21 IAS-10455AB-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
we may make recommendations to realign your account to match
your new Account Portfolio Objective.
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.
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.
Our review does 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.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors
(or their investment advisers) with mutual funds and/or ETFs on
the list of Eligible Investments 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 also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and generally share in the
cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into any
agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its investment adviser
or its distributors or affiliates providing for payment of such
expenses as a condition of inclusion on the 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 Investments 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 Guided Solutions Flex 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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones 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 can influence our decision to incorporate such product or
service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory Program.

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
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.
Edward Jones Money Market Fund. Your Guided Solutions Flex
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.
Bridge Builder Mutual Funds. You may choose to invest 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.
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.
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.
For any Guided Solutions Flex 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.

Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation
Before investing in Guided Solutions Fund, you should decide if
you are comfortable assuming responsibility for the day-to-day
management of your account. Investors in Guided Solutions
Fund typically:
• Want to be involved in the investment process and approve
final trade decisions
• Value the receipt of ongoing advice from Edward Jones when
making 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 Guided Solutions® Fund Account (“Guided
Solutions Fund”), the fees charged for our services and our
business practices. You should read this Brochure carefully and
consult with your tax professional before you decide to invest in
Guided Solutions Fund.
• Desire a disciplined approach to long-term investing and are
willing to adhere to an asset allocation strategy aligned with
Edward Jones’ guidance
• 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 some 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 through
Edward Jones or another broker-dealer or investment adviser.
Because Guided Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund to
you. Other services you obtain through Edward Jones, including
other investment advisory and brokerage services, are separate
and distinct from Guided Solutions Fund 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.
You should consider that, depending on the circumstances, the
aggregate fees you will pay for investing in Guided Solutions may
be lower or higher than if you purchased the investments or
services separately at Edward Jones or through another broker-
dealer or investment adviser. Guided Solutions Fund 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, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary
assets across all of our advisory programs.
Guided Solutions Fund Overview
Guided Solutions Fund is a client-directed advisory program
sponsored by Edward Jones designed to provide the client with
ongoing investment advice, guidance and services for an asset-
based fee. The Guided Solutions Fund experience is rooted in the
working relationship between you and your Edward Jones financial
advisor. In consultation with your Edward Jones financial advisor,
you will select an appropriate portfolio objective for your Guided
Solutions Fund account (your “Account Portfolio Objective”).
The decision to invest in Guided Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund, we will not begin providing you
advisory services until (a) our acceptance and approval of a
written Client Services Agreement (“CSA”) between you and
Edward Jones, and (b) funding of the account at the initial
minimum investment (if applicable) as determined by
Edward Jones.
Selecting Your Account Portfolio Objective. In order to invest in
Guided Solutions Fund, you will complete a Client Profile that
contains important information about your account, which generally
includes either your goal or purpose for investing and your
investment time horizon, risk tolerance and other financial
information. Your time horizon will reflect the expected time frame
Page 3 of 21 IAS-10458AA-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
over which 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.
Balanced toward Income: This portfolio objective emphasizes
current interest income while providing modest long-term growth
and rising dividend potential. Over the long term, it should have
lower to moderate risk.
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.
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”).
Edward Jones constructs and periodically reviews the
recommended Target Ranges for each Account Portfolio
Objective in Guided Solutions Fund. Due to various influences
such as changing market conditions or a reclassification of an
Eligible Investment (defined below) to a different asset class, we
may change the Target Ranges of an Account Portfolio Objective.
If we change the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio
Objective, we will notify you if your account’s Target Allocations
(defined below) are out of alignment with the new Target Ranges,
as necessary. Your Guided Solutions Fund account includes an
annual rebalancing feature and may be eligible for on-demand
rebalancing. For more information, see “Account Target
Alignment” below.
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. Edward Jones
will have no authority to change your Account Portfolio Objective
without your instruction. To change your Account Portfolio
Objective, you must meet with your Financial Advisor to select a
new Account Portfolio Objective.
Your Account Portfolio Objective determines the recommended
asset allocation and investment category ranges (“Target
Ranges”).
After you have selected your Account Portfolio Objective, you
may choose from among the mutual funds and exchange-traded
funds (“ETFs”) available for Guided Solutions Fund (“Eligible
Investments”) and determine the percentage of your money to
invest in each Eligible Investment (your “Target Allocations”) in
alignment with your Account Portfolio Objective. When analyzing
investments and developing recommendations that may be
appropriate for your account, we rely on a variety of different
sources of information. Such sources may include research
conducted by Edward Jones that covers a wide range of Eligible
Investments and investment research reports issued by firms that
are not affiliated with us.
In addition, Edward Jones’ applies certain guidelines designed to
monitor your Guided Solutions Fund account for alignment with
your Account Portfolio Objective (“Investment Diagnostics”). The
Investment Diagnostics pertain to certain factors including, but not
limited to, asset allocation, international exposure and security
overconcentration. Please contact your financial advisor to learn
more about how Investment Diagnostics help you achieve your
financial goals. The recommended Target Ranges, as well as
Investment Diagnostics, are determined solely by Edward Jones
and can be modified by Edward Jones without prior notice.
Account Portfolio Objectives in Guided Solutions Fund currently
include:
In addition, we may use certain Edward Jones investment tools
as a preliminary basis for recommending certain Eligible
Investments that align with your Account Portfolio Objective. The
use of such investment tools does not guarantee the
performance of your account or any investments therein or
protect against potential investment losses.
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.
You are responsible for directing the buying and selling of Eligible
Investments in your account, except as otherwise described in
this Brochure. You may change your Eligible Investment
selections and your Target Allocations at any time, provided you
remain aligned with the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio
Objective.
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing
modest current interest income. Over the long term, it should have
higher risk than portfolios with a more income-oriented objective.
Balanced toward Growth: This portfolio objective emphasizes
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.
Initial Investment. You can fund your Guided Solutions Fund
account with cash and/or securities. When you fund a Benefit
Plan account or a traditional individual retirement account (“IRA”)
or Roth IRA account, all incoming assets may be liquidated and
the proceeds will be invested in Eligible Investments you have
selected. For all other account types, incoming Eligible
Investments may or may not be liquidated when your account is
initially rebalanced according to your chosen Target Allocations.
In any account type, if you establish your Guided Solutions Fund
account with Ineligible Investments (defined below), Edward
Balanced Growth & Income: This portfolio objective has a
balanced emphasis between current interest income and
long-term growth with rising dividend potential. Over the long
term, it should have moderate risk.
Page 4 of 21 IAS-10458AA-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
of Edward Jones or your financial advisor in choosing among
Eligible Investments. Neither Edward Jones nor your financial
advisor will have discretionary authority for any trading or
investment decisions in your account, except as otherwise
described in this Brochure.
Jones is authorized to liquidate or redeem those Ineligible
Investments 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
connection with such transactions and will sell those securities at
no commission. Edward Jones will not provide advice or
guidance regarding the securities being sold to fund the Guided
Solutions Fund account. Trades that occur in a taxable account
may result in taxable events as well as redemption fees and/or
sales charges that may be assessed on the liquidation or
redemption of securities.
Your financial advisor is not responsible under the terms of
Guided Solutions Fund for monitoring your other Edward Jones
accounts, if you have them, on an ongoing basis. However, if you
have multiple Edward Jones accounts that are linked to a Goal
Portfolio Objective, your financial advisor may recommend that
you consider placing a trade in one or more of your other Edward
Jones accounts, rather than realigning your Guided Solutions
Fund account, in order to address certain Investment
Diagnostics.
When you place trades in a brokerage account that could be
placed in your Guided Solutions Fund account or another
fee-based investment advisory account at Edward Jones, a
conflict of interest exists as Edward Jones and your financial
advisor will earn compensation on the transactions, such as
commissions and/or mark-ups or mark-downs, that you would not
bear if such transactions were placed in your Guided Solutions
Fund account or another fee-based account at Edward Jones.
Such transaction fees would be in addition to the asset-based
advisory fee that you pay for assets held within your Guided
Solutions Fund account or other fee-based account at Edward
Jones.
If you transfer shares of mutual funds to open a Guided Solutions
Fund account and those mutual funds are current Eligible
Investments included in your Target Allocations, but in a different
share class from those available in Guided Solutions Fund, you
authorize and direct Edward Jones to: (a) convert some or all
shares of current Eligible Investments to a different share class
available in Guided Solutions Fund, 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. Liquidation depends upon factors such as the type
and values of the securities you transfer in and the type and
values required by your Target Allocations at the time of the
transfer. Any securities you transfer into your account that are not
Eligible Investments within your Target Allocations will be
liquidated and the proceeds invested as described above.
Subsequent Investments. Once you have established your Target
Allocations and funded your account, you may add or withdraw
funds from your account upon request. If after your Guided
Solutions Fund account is opened 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 Guided Solutions Fund account, these shares will
be liquidated upon transfer into your account and the funds
invested in accordance with your model. We will try to make this
a nontaxable event but 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.
Eligible Investments. Through Guided Solutions Fund, clients
can choose from an extensive list of Eligible Investments
selected by Edward Jones that includes affiliated and unaffiliated
mutual funds and ETFs across a variety of asset classes.
“Affiliated mutual funds” refers to mutual funds managed by an
affiliate of Edward Jones, which consist of the Bridge Builder
family of mutual funds (“Bridge Builder Funds”) and the Edward
Jones Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”). Generally,
you may purchase affiliated mutual funds in Guided Solutions
Fund. However, 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). Edward Jones, in its sole discretion, may make
exceptions based on the particular facts and circumstances of
your situation. Benefit Plan and Zero Minimum accounts with an
initial investment of less than $5,000 are limited in the number
and types of Eligible Investments they can select. Please note
that Eligible Investments for Guided Solutions Fund may not be
offered in Edward Jones Guided Solutions® Flex Accounts or our
other advisory programs. Certain Eligible Investments are only
available in taxable accounts.
For purposes of this Brochure, “Benefit Plans” accounts are
defined as pension or other employee benefit plans governed by
ERISA, a tax-qualified retirement plan (including a Keogh plan,
an Edward Jones-sponsored Owner K® plan or a “single owner
401(k)” plan in which the only eligible plan participants are the
business owner and/or his or her spouse) under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE”) IRAs,
Upon any subsequent transfer of cash or Ineligible Investments
into, or withdrawal of funds out of, your account, Edward Jones
will buy or sell Eligible Investments in your account in accordance
with your Target Allocations. Ineligible Investments, or Eligible
Investments that are not included in your Target Allocations, will
be liquidated upon transfer into your account and the funds
invested, as described above. Eligible Investments transferred
into your account that are included in your Target Allocations will
remain in your account, although they may cause you to be out of
alignment with your Target Allocations. Eligible Investments
transferred out of your account may also cause you to be out of
alignment with your Target Allocations. You are responsible for
choosing and maintaining Target Allocations that are in alignment
with the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio Objective.
You are responsible for all trading and investment decisions in
your account and should not rely solely on the recommendations

documents”). It is important that you read these documents
before investing.
Simplified Employee Pension (“SEP”) IRAs, traditional IRAs
linked to an Edward Jones SEP IRA and other applicable
retirement plans. “Zero Minimum” accounts include traditional
and Roth IRAs for Edward Jones associates, their spouses and
dependent children, and any other types of accounts that Edward
Jones, in our sole discretion, may allow to enter Guided Solutions
Fund with no minimum initial investment requirement.
You may not be able to purchase certain Eligible Investments in
your Guided Solutions Fund account. For example, certain
mutual funds that are Eligible Investments may be closed to new
investors. Additionally, certain Eligible Investments for a Guided
Solutions Fund account may not be offered in our other advisory
programs.
If your Benefit Plan or Zero Minimum account’s initial investment
in Guided Solutions Fund is at least $5,000 or if the value of your
account increases to $5,000 or more (regardless of any
subsequent decrease in value below $5,000), your account can
invest in a greater number and additional types of Eligible
Investments.
The Money Market Fund is affiliated with Edward Jones but is not
an Eligible Investment for Guided Solutions Fund. However, cash
balances 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. Please refer
to Appendix A for more information about the Money Market
Fund.
Ineligible Investments. You will not be able to hold any
investment in your Account, or have it serve as a Target Allocation
in your Account, that Edward Jones has deemed ineligible for
Guided Solutions Fund (“Ineligible Investments”) or that is
unavailable for your Account. In the event that Edward Jones
re-categorizes an investment from an Eligible Investment to an
Ineligible Investment or an Eligible Investment is no longer
available for your account, Edward Jones will notify you and
recommend a replacement Eligible Investment (which may include
affiliated mutual funds). If you do not instruct Edward Jones to
remove the Investment from your account within the time frame
established for Guided Solutions Fund, as determined by Edward
Jones, we will liquidate the Ineligible Investment and purchase the
recommended replacement Eligible Investment or, in the case of
an unavailable investment, replace it with the recommended
Eligible Investment in your Target Allocation. Liquidation may result
in a taxable event as well as redemption fees.
Your account’s asset allocation may include a cash allocation
held in the Money Market Fund through the automatic 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 may determine to increase
the amount of cash you hold in your portfolio. The portion of your
Guided Solutions Fund account held in the Money Market Fund
or other cash vehicles will be included in the calculation of your
Guided Solutions Fund Fee (defined below).
Until the Ineligible Investment or unavailable investment is
replaced, there is a possibility that additional shares of that
investment may be purchased. Such purchase(s) may occur in a
number of instances including, but not limited to, when assets are
added to your account or a rebalancing occurs. The purchase of
additional shares of an Ineligible Investment and the eventual
mandatory removal of such shares may result in a taxable event.
You may invest in one or more affiliated mutual funds, which
consist of the Bridge Builder Funds. 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. Bridge Builder Funds and the Money Market Fund
are affiliated with Edward Jones.
The replacement Eligible Investment may be subject to higher
internal expenses than the prior investment and may result in
your Target Allocations being out of alignment with the Target
Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for your Account Portfolio
Objective.
Values-Based and Sustainable Investing. Certain available
investments may incorporate values-based or sustainable
investment strategies. Values-based investing considers a client’s
personal beliefs and values, while sustainable investing
incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
considerations. Such 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 such
investments available for Guided Solutions Fund and the
associated risk.
Account Target Alignment. Edward Jones will review your
Target Allocations annually and notify you if they are out of
alignment with the Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for
your Account Portfolio Objective. If your account’s Target
Allocations are out of alignment with the Target Ranges or
Investment Diagnostics for any reason, you will be responsible
for bringing your account’s Target Allocations into alignment
within the time frame established for Guided Solutions Fund, as
determined by Edward Jones. To realign your account, you must
work with your financial advisor to realign your account’s Target
Allocations within the Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics
for your Account Portfolio Objective. Realigning your account
may result in trading activity, which may cause a taxable event as
well as additional fees and expenses.
There is no guarantee that an Eligible Investment will perform in
any particular manner. Past performance is not a guarantee of
future results. Details about the mutual funds and/or ETFs in your
account can be found in the prospectus, statement of additional
information (“SAI”) and shareholder reports for each mutual fund
and ETF (collectively, “Fund prospectus and other fund
In the event you do not provide instructions to Edward Jones to
realign your account’s Target Allocations inside the Target
Ranges or Investment Diagnostics within the required time frame,
Page 6 of 21 IAS-10458AA-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

your account will be removed from Guided Solutions Fund.
Rebalancing. Unless your account’s Target Allocations are out of
alignment with the Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for
your Account Portfolio Objective, Edward Jones determines your
account is aligned to its Target Allocations at your account’s
annual review, or your account is otherwise restricted by Edward
Jones, we will automatically rebalance your account on an annual
basis to restore your account to its Target Allocations of Eligible
Investments. Rebalancing is achieved by buying, redeeming or
selling shares of Eligible Investments.
Rebalancing trades are subject to certain dollar minimums as
determined by Edward Jones. You will not be notified before your
annual rebalance occurs, unless you are required to bring your
account’s Target Allocations into alignment with the Target
Ranges or Investment Diagnostics. Asset allocation and
rebalancing strategies do not guarantee a profit or protect against
loss. Rebalancing trades in a taxable account may result in a
taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.
trading day at times determined by Edward Jones. If an Eligible
Investment trade is made after the last designated trade
aggregation cutoff time, it will be executed on the next business
day. You may not receive the same price as trades executed the
prior trading day. As a result, trade aggregation may affect the
price you pay for an Eligible Investment in your account. ETF
trades will be rounded to the nearest whole share. If there is not
sufficient cash or assets invested in a money market fund to
cover rounding, Edward Jones is authorized to sell a sufficient
amount of shares of mutual funds and ETFs held in your account
to purchase a whole ETF share. If Edward Jones sells mutual
funds or ETFs, this may result in your account being out of
alignment with your Target Allocations, the Target Ranges for
your Account Portfolio Objective, and/or with the Investment
Diagnostics for your account. Such transactions will be effected
without regard to tax consequences. You may have to pay
redemption fees to a mutual fund company if those mutual fund
shares were held for only a short time. (See below for more
information on redemption fees.)
Your account may be eligible for on-demand rebalancing. Upon
receipt of your on-demand rebalancing request, your account will
be rebalanced by Edward Jones to restore your account to its
Target Allocations of Eligible Investments. On-demand
rebalancing will not be available if your account has been
rebalanced within thirty-one (31) days prior to your request, if
your account is being automatically rebalanced at the time of
your request, or if your account is otherwise restricted by Edward
Jones. On-demand rebalancing also may not be available while
your account’s Target Allocations are out of alignment with your
Account Portfolio Objective’s Target Ranges or Investment
Diagnostics. If your on-demand rebalancing request is received
within 31 days prior to an annual rebalancing date, the
on-demand rebalancing will serve as the annual rebalancing.
Trade Allocation. From time to time, the volume and/or number
of trades that are directed by clients to be executed for Guided
Solutions Fund accounts may exceed Edward Jones’ operational
and technological capacities if these trades are directed on a
single day. For example, this may occur if Edward Jones is
re-categorizing an investment from an Eligible Investment to an
Ineligible Investment, if a large number of accounts need to be
rebalanced, or by request of a mutual fund or ETF sponsor. In
order to maintain the orderly processing of trades and to
minimize the incidence of errors, Edward Jones may allocate
trades based on the time of order entry. In certain circumstances,
this process may take several days or weeks. Although designed
to be fair and equitable over time, this may result in clients
receiving different prices. In addition, if the volume or size of
redemptions required to be effected as a result of re-categorizing
a mutual fund from an Eligible Investment to an Ineligible
Investment or the rebalancing of a large number of accounts
exceeds the limits set forth in the mutual fund’s trading policies
and procedures, the mutual fund may exceed the standard
settlement period to 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 a random allocation process to effect
the redemptions over time in a manner consistent with the limits
set forth in the mutual fund’s trading policies and procedures.
Brokerage Services. You are solely responsible for all trading
decisions in your account, and Edward Jones will execute trades
only at your direction, except as otherwise described in this
Brochure. When Edward Jones executes trades for your account,
we are not acting as an investment adviser, but solely as a
broker-dealer. Trading in your account will be subject to our trading
policies and practices. You will not be charged trade commissions
or sales charges for Guided Solutions Fund trades. However,
Guided Solutions Fund may cost you more or less than purchasing
advisory services and brokerage services separately, depending
on certain factors such as the frequency of your trading. You
cannot request that your orders be executed through another
broker-dealer. Not all investment advisers require their clients to
execute their trades through a certain broker-dealer as we do.
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, we will work to promptly correct the
error while ensuring your account is not disadvantaged.
Guided Solutions Fund trades are generally aggregated. This
means that trades for your account are combined with other client
accounts, including accounts for Edward Jones associates, and
executed in a single trade or series of trades. Once the trade is
executed, it is then allocated to your account in the proper amount.
Trade aggregation is done to increase operational efficiencies and
allows us to keep trading costs down. If we did not aggregate
trades, the Program Fee could potentially be higher.
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. When using an error
account, we engage in principal transactions. This means that we
will transact with you from our own inventory of securities. 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

the liquidation and sale of such pledged collateral to satisfy a
Maintenance Call, the Lender will prioritize its interests over your
interests, and we are obligated to prioritize the Lender’s interests
over your interests as the Securities Intermediary (as defined in
the Reserve Line Agreement). To learn more about the Reserve
Line offering and its availability, please contact your Financial
Advisor.
Custody. Assets in your account are held at Edward Jones as
broker-dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets
in your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties
and responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones as
sub-custodian.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
• Safekeeping your funds and securities
• Collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales
• Disbursing funds from your account
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. If
EJTC is the custodian, the account statement will be sent by
Edward Jones on behalf of EJTC.
Please review your account statements carefully and notify
us immediately if you detect an error or a discrepancy.
Edward Jones Reserve Line of Credit. Certain Guided
Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund 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.
Termination of Guided Solutions Fund Services. You or
Edward Jones may terminate your participation in Guided
Solutions Fund at any time without any advisory termination fee.
While oral instructions to terminate your participation in Guided
Solutions Fund are generally acceptable, Edward Jones, in our
sole discretion, may require written notice in order to terminate
Guided Solutions Fund advisory services for your account.
Upon notice of termination of your Guided Solutions Fund
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 Guided Solutions
Fund 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.
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
Guided Solutions Fund 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 separate from, and in addition to, the Guided
Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund Fee may be greater than
the income generated by your Guided Solutions Fund 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
In general, 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. When a
mutual fund company offers multiple share class options for a
mutual fund, and you have instructed us to transfer such mutual
fund to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or you fail to
provide instructions and your assets are transferred to a Limited
Services Account, as defined below, then Edward Jones will
determine, in our sole discretion, what share class to convert
your mutual fund holding into when transferring your mutual fund

not as an investment adviser. Please see the Reserve Line
Agreement for additional information.
holding to the Edward Jones Select brokerage account or Limited
Services Account. Mutual fund share class conversions can result
in higher or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under
the previous share class and liquidations may cause a taxable
event.
In the event Edward Jones is notified by a receiving firm that a
transfer of securities in your Guided Solutions Fund account is
being rejected in part or whole by such receiving firm, Edward
Jones will liquidate the rejected securities and transfer the cash
to such receiving firm.
Fees
Every Guided Solutions Fund account pays asset-based fees
(referred to as your “Guided Solutions Fund Fee”). Your Guided
Solutions Fund Fee includes a Program Fee and a Platform Fee,
less any applicable fee reduction and/or fee offset (as discussed
more fully below). In addition to your Guided Solutions Fund Fee,
affiliated mutual funds and unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs
that you purchase or that are held in your account have internal
fees and expenses that are described in the prospectus of each
fund. These internal fees and expenses vary depending on the
mutual fund or ETF.
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
Bridge Builder funds are only available to be purchased or held
by you in Edward Jones’ investment 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 investment
advisory account to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account
or account at another financial institution. The 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 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.
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.
The Program Fee
Each Guided Solutions Fund 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. The Program Fee is assessed up to a
maximum annual fee rate of 1.35%, payable monthly in arrears.
If you sell the assets in your account, your proceeds will be
available upon settlement of the trades generated to complete
the liquidation. Liquidation of securities held in your account may
cause a taxable event as well as additional fees and expenses.
The Platform Fee
A Platform Fee is charged on accounts enrolled in Guided
Solutions Fund for the support and maintenance of accounts on
the Edward Jones investment advisory platform, such as trading
and risk tools, training and education, and ongoing platform
development. This fee is in addition to the Program Fee. The
Platform Fee is assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of
0.05%, payable monthly in arrears.
Upon notice of termination, if you fail to instruct Edward Jones as
to the disposition of assets in your account, your account’s
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.
If you terminate your participation in Guided Solutions Fund, and
do not transfer the assets in your Guided Solutions Fund account
to an Edward Jones account that is eligible for the Reserve Line,
the Reserve Line (if any) associated with your Guided Solutions
Fund account will be terminated by the Lender and all
outstanding Obligations will immediately be due and payable.
How the Guided Solutions Fund Fee is Calculated
The Guided Solutions Fund Fee, which includes the Program Fee
and the Platform 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 Money Market
Fund. Reserve Line Advances, if any, do not reduce the market
value of your account for the purposes of calculating the Guided
Solutions Fund Fee. The Guided Solutions Fund Fee is assessed
at an annual fee rate (shown above), payable monthly in arrears.
Accounts with higher values generally pay lower fee rates than
accounts with lower values.
The fees assessed by Edward Jones will reduce your account’s
overall returns and performance. The Guided Solutions Fund Fee
is charged to your account each month in arrears. If your Guided
Solutions Fund account is open for part of a month, then you will
The Lender may instruct us, in our capacity of Securities
Intermediary, 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
Securities Intermediary in connection with any such instruction,

result in clients being charged differently for the same or similar
services.
pay a fee based on the number of days your account was open
and invested in Guided Solutions Fund. The amount you pay is
determined by the average daily market value of the assets held
in your account for the previous month.
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.
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. Other members of the Pricing Group will receive the same
disclosure upon request. Your Pricing Group is based on the
following criteria:
Fee Reductions
If your Guided Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund.
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 Guided Solutions Fund before receiving the
entire fee reduction, you will not receive any of the remaining fee
reduction that may have been available for your account.
1. Your single, joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan and IRA
accounts are grouped together if they are registered at the
same address and share one or more of the following: (a) the
same last name, (b) the same Social Security number, or (c)
the same Edward Jones Relationship Group. (If you have
worked with your financial advisor to group your account with
other accounts for the purpose of planning and establishing
financial goals, that is a Relationship Group. Your
Relationship Group may be the same as your Pricing Group.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any
questions about your Relationship Group.)
If you are selling securities to invest in Guided Solutions Fund but
did not purchase them through Edward Jones, you will not
receive a fee reduction.
2. Your revocable trust accounts are grouped with your single,
joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan, IRA or other
revocable trust accounts if they are registered at the same
address and use the same tax ID number for tax reporting.
3. Your association, church, corporation, estate, irrevocable
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.
trust, LLC, partnership and sole proprietorship accounts are
grouped with other accounts of the same type if they are
registered at the same address and use the same tax ID
number for tax reporting. These types of accounts will be
grouped with each other, but not with other account types.
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.
Additionally, accounts that do not meet the above criteria with
your account, but that meet the above criteria with another
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.
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 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 contains a detailed
discussion of our affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds.
In addition, the Guided Solutions Fund Fee and/or, if applicable,
minimum monthly fee may be lower than the above stated
maximum annual fee rate in the following circumstances:
• 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

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 Guided Solutions Fund Fee you pay
us. You may pay for other services including, but not limited to,
estate service fees, ACH return fees and fees to distribute an
account pursuant to a transfer on death agreement.
Also, the Guided Solutions Fund Fee does not cover the following
(if applicable to your account): transfer taxes; electronic fund,
wire and other account transfer fees; internal fees and expenses
incurred by mutual funds or ETFs purchased for your account;
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.
How the Guided Solutions Fund Fee is Paid
The Guided Solutions Fund Fee is deducted directly from your
Guided Solutions Fund account and paid using the cash portion
of your account, which may include cash or assets invested in a
money market fund. If there is not sufficient cash or assets in the
money market fund, we are authorized to sell a sufficient amount
of shares of mutual funds and ETFs held in your account to pay
the Guided Solutions Fund Fee. If Edward Jones sells mutual
funds or ETFs, this may result in your account being out of
alignment with your Target Allocations, the Target Ranges for
your Account Portfolio Objective and/or with the Investment
Diagnostics for 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 a mutual
fund or ETF in a taxable account may result in a taxable event. At
the sole discretion of Edward Jones, you may be allowed to pay
your Guided Solutions Fund Fee from an alternate Edward Jones
account.
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
account but not yet invested in Eligible Investments or swept into
the Money Market Fund 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 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.
Internal Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds and
ETFs, Including Redemption Fees
Mutual funds (including affiliated mutual funds, if any) and ETFs
have internal management fees and ongoing expenses for
operating the funds (“internal fees and expenses”) that are
deducted from the fund’s assets, which has the effect of reducing
the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Many mutual funds that are
Eligible Investments in Guided Solutions Fund have different
share classes with different fees and expenses for each share
class. 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 as Eligible Investments for
Guided Solutions Fund.
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 Account Portfolio Objective or Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable) you select. As a result, your financial advisor does not
have a financial incentive to recommend one Account or Goal
Portfolio Objective over another. Your financial advisor does not
receive a portion of the Platform Fee.
Internal fees and expenses are in addition to the Guided
Solutions Fund 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.
Similarly, the Program 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 Guided Solutions Fund
over another investment advisory program.
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).
The fund prospectus and other fund documents will describe
whether the mutual fund has a redemption fee and whether there
are instances when the redemption fees will be waived.
Any internal fees and expenses charged by a mutual fund or ETF
will reduce your account’s overall returns and investment
performance
Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in the
Guided Solutions Fund Fee
In addition to the Guided Solutions Fund Fee described above,
clients may incur other fees and expenses. You will pay interest
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 a Guided Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund. This creates a financial
incentive for your financial advisor to recommend Guided
Solutions Fund instead of brokerage services.

Additional Disclosure of Services, Fees and Other
Compensation
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure. This Brochure contains
disclosures designed to assist the named fiduciary or other
responsible plan fiduciaries of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA (the “Plan”) in determining the reasonableness of the
fees and compensation Edward Jones may receive as a service
provider to the Plan. Guided Solutions Fund is an investment
advisory program offered by Edward Jones. The services
provided through Guided Solutions Fund are described in Item 4
above and in Section 1 of the CSA.
For a description of the fees that may be directly charged to the
Plan in connection with Guided Solutions Fund, refer to Fees in
this Item 4 and the Guided Solutions Fund’s Schedule of Fees.
Edward Jones could receive compensation from sources other
than the Plan in connection with services provided. For a
discussion of other potential sources of compensation, see Item
9 below.
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 Reserve Line Advances
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 Guided Solutions Fund
account, we retain the Guided Solutions Fund 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. 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 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.
For a discussion of termination fees that may apply see
“Termination of Guided Solutions Fund Services” and “Other
Fees and Expenses Not Included in the Guided Solutions Fund
Fee” in this Item 4.
Edward Jones and its affiliates may benefit from other
compensation as described in Item 9B under “Client Referrals
and Other Compensation.”
For further information on compensation and conflicts of interest,
please see the “Understanding how we are compensated for
financial services” document found at edwardjones.com/
compensation.
The Program Fee, as well as assets under care and 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).
Most financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward
Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which
includes domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu
of a trip. Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon
the amount of new and existing assets under care of a financial
advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
Comparing Costs, Expenses and Services
The Program Fee is a fee for investment advisory 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.” Guided Solutions Fund may cost you more or less
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.
You can choose to forgo the services of Guided Solutions Fund
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).
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
We have provided you with materials that explain our brokerage

Item 6: Guided Solutions Fund Investment
Selection and Evaluation
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types
of Clients
Your initial investment in a Guided Solutions Fund account must
generally be at least $5,000, except for Benefit Plan and Zero
Minimum accounts. There is no minimum initial investment
requirement for Benefit Plan or Zero Minimum accounts.
Guided Solutions Fund is a client-directed wrap fee program
sponsored by Edward Jones. No third-party investment advisers,
no related persons or Edward Jones-supervised persons serve
as portfolio managers in Guided Solutions Fund. In consultation
with your Edward Jones financial advisor, you will select your
Account Portfolio Objective and Goal Portfolio Objective (if
applicable) and Eligible Investments for your account. For more
information, see Item 4.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
The total value of your account is monitored by Edward Jones. If
the value of your account falls significantly (for example, a
balance of $2,000 or below), we may, in our discretion, remove
your account from Guided Solutions Fund. This is also applicable
to Benefit Plan and Zero Minimum accounts with an account
balance that has reached or exceeded $5,000. Minimum account
values do not apply to Edward Jones associates, their spouses
or dependent children.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
Edward Jones selects the Eligible Investments available in
Guided Solutions Fund based on numerous quantitative and
qualitative 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.
Edward Jones offers clients a wide range of financial services.
Guided Solutions Fund may not be appropriate for every client or
every account type. Generally, Guided Solutions Fund 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.
The processes we use to select and monitor affiliated mutual
funds are different from the processes we apply to unaffiliated
mutual funds and other Program Eligible Investments.
Edward Jones can prohibit any person or entity from investing or
remaining in Guided Solutions Fund 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 intend to invest in
Guided Solutions Fund for a minimum of three (3) years.
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 Program 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.
Mutual fund shares held in your Guided Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions
Fund 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 Guided Solutions Fund. Assets in your Guided
Solutions Fund account will not be used to pay any adjustment(s)
that apply in the event you fail to satisfy the LOI.
Eligible Investments (other than affiliated mutual funds) undergo
periodic review by Edward Jones to determine if they remain
suitable for Guided Solutions Fund. An Eligible Investment can
be re-categorized from an Eligible Investment to an Ineligible
Investment for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to,
the following:
• Inconsistency with Edward Jones’ investment philosophy
• Regulatory concerns
• Termination of an agreement with a mutual fund company
• Lack of ongoing financial information
• A decision by Edward Jones to reduce the overall ownership
If you request a transfer of securities from your Guided Solutions
Fund 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 Guided Solutions
Fund 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 could result

level of a fund
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.
Depending on the Eligible Investments you select, your account
may also be subject to the following risks:
Depending on market volatility, your account will sometimes
depart from the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio
Objective. Different asset classes will perform better than others,
resulting in an asset allocation that may have more or less risk
than you may want. In order to keep your account in alignment
with the Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio Objective, you
should monitor this and you may realign your account if it has
deviated significantly from the Target Ranges for your Account
Portfolio Objective.
Concentration Risk. An account with a limited number of
Eligible Investments may experience more volatility than a more
diversified account with a larger number of Eligible Investments.
Guided Solutions Fund accounts will be automatically rebalanced
by Edward Jones on an annual basis to restore your account to
its Target Allocations of Eligible Investments, except as otherwise
set forth in this Brochure. For more information on account
rebalancing, see Item 4.
The objective of investing in a variety of Eligible Investments in
various types of asset classes allocated in the Target Ranges is
to construct a portfolio designed to experience less volatility and
show more consistent performance over time. There is no
guarantee that this goal will be achieved.
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.
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. The value 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
other fund documents describe the risks specific to the fund.
Each Eligible Investment will 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 Guided Solutions Fund.
Share Classes. Mutual fund investments in Guided Solutions Fund
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 Guided Solutions Fund, 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.
Edward Jones generally attempts to select institutional and/or
advisory share classes for Guided Solutions Fund, 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.
Additionally, you may also invest in certain investments that
employ non-traditional strategies. Such investments may hold
non-traditional investments or use complex investment and trading
strategies. Investments that utilize derivatives or leverage, as an
example, can be complex and increase the risk of volatility and
loss of investment. Other potential risks may include, but are not
limited to: the investment performs in a manner that is difficult to
understand relative to traditional investments; lack of liquidity;
credit risk; counterparty risk; and adverse tax consequences. Such
investments contain unique characteristics and risks. Refer, as
applicable, to the fund prospectus and other fund documents that
describe risks specific to each fund. Information about each
Eligible Investment can be obtained from your financial advisor.
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
nonfinancial 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
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
Class A shares are selected in Guided Solutions Fund, 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
Page 14 of 21 IAS-10458AA-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
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 Guided Solutions Fund. In our sole discretion, Edward
Jones can change the share class of any mutual fund at any time
without prior notice to you.
Redemptions. 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, re-categorizes a mutual fund from an Eligible Investment
to an Ineligible Investment. If the resulting volume or size of
redemptions directed by accounts in Guided Solutions Fund as a
result of the re-categorization 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 minimize any potential adverse impact to accounts in Guided
Solutions Fund, but there is no assurance that you will be able to
avoid the risk of loss and other adverse consequences.
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. 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.
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 Guided Solutions Fund 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; (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 Account Portfolio Objective and result in
other securities being sold to bring your account back into
alignment with your 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
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 Securities Intermediary (as that
term is defined in the Reserve Line Agreement), and not as an
investment adviser, in connection with a Maintenance Call which
may be in conflict with your best interest and our role as an
investment adviser to your Guided Solutions Fund 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.
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.
Reserve Line Risk. Our financial advisors provide information
and education regarding the availability of the Reserve Line.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
a variety of protections designed to protect against damage or

Industry Activities and Affiliations
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.
Disciplinary Information
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
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.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without admitting
or denying the findings, entered into a settlement agreement with
FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in connection with its
investigation of possible violations of MSRB rules regarding
transactions in certain municipal securities in amounts lower than the
applicable minimum denominations. As part of the settlement, Edward
Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $210,000.
Voting Proxies
When you invest in Guided Solutions Fund, you are solely
responsible for voting proxies arising from any securities held in
your account. Edward Jones will not take any action and will not
render any advice regarding how to vote proxies arising from any
securities held in your account. You may receive proxy-related
materials and notices from Edward Jones or the applicable
mutual fund or ETF sponsor, and you will be responsible for
voting proxies.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection with
its investigation of the supervision of the use and dissemination of
reports generated through Edward Jones’ systems by financial
advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its review of 65,000 reports
did not reveal any instances of reports that were misleading.
FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had made changes to
enhance its supervisory processes. As part of the settlement,
Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $725,000.
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

any such documents to you.

FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation. On
December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely, and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
during the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal
controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.
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 9B below.

Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January

one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. §

Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
recommendations we make to clients to buy or sell securities or
investment products.
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent
compliance consultant to assess the firm’s policies and systems
regarding electronic communications recordkeeping and assist
Edward Jones in further enhancing those policies and systems.
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families that are
available as Eligible Investments through Guided Solutions Fund.
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 considering revenue sharing
from existing business relationships when selecting Eligible
Investments for Guided Solutions Fund. 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 Guided Solutions Fund accounts. Edward Jones and our
financial advisors also receive compensation for services and
recommendations that may differ from advice given to you while
participating in Guided Solutions 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.
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.
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.

insurance products), 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
EJTC, a wholly owned subsidiary of JFC, is a federally chartered

agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance
Agency of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited
liability company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of
California, L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
brokerage activities are done in the regular course of our
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.
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones
associates (including those directly involved with Guided
Solutions Fund) and/or their family members are permitted to and
do invest in Guided Solutions Fund. 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

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 Guided Solutions Fund account is opened,
Edward Jones’ supervisory associates will review your selected
Account Portfolio Objective and the funding of your account. 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 Guided
Solutions Fund, 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 Eligible Investments, including asset
allocations. 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 Guided Solutions Fund, Edward Jones
will review your Target Allocations annually to determine whether
they are in alignment with the Target Ranges or Investment
Diagnostics for your Account Portfolio Objective and will notify
you if they are not. If this happens, you should work with your
financial advisor to determine what adjustments are needed to
bring your account’s Target Allocations back into alignment. In the
event that you do not provide instructions to bring your account
back into alignment within a time period determined by Edward
Jones, your account will be removed from Guided Solutions
Fund. For more information on account alignment, see Item 4.
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 Guided Solutions Fund buy securities that are
also Eligible Investments in Guided Solutions Fund. These
In addition, you and your financial advisor must annually review
whether there have been any changes to your financial

(if applicable).
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 can influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
If you decide to invest in a different Account Portfolio Objective,
we may make recommendations to realign your account to match
your new Account Portfolio Objective.
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.
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.
Our review does 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.
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors
(or their investment advisers) with mutual funds and/or ETFs on
the list of Eligible Investments 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 also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and generally share in the
cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into any
agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its investment adviser
or its distributors or affiliates providing for payment of such
expenses as a condition of inclusion on the 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 Investments 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 Guided Solutions Fund 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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones make and/or
maintain investments in other firms, including financial services

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
For any Guided Solutions Fund 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 Guided Solutions
Fund 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. You may choose to invest 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.

Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation
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 Investment Advisory Program (“IAP”), the fees
charged for our services and our business practices. You should
read this Brochure carefully and consult with your tax
professional before you decide to invest in IAP.
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 IAP may be lower or
higher than if you purchased the investments or services
separately or through another broker-dealer or investment
adviser.
IAP accounts (“Account”) 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 type of advice you desire as well
as 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.
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.
Because IAP 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 IAP to you.
Other services you obtain through Edward Jones, including other
investment advisory and brokerage services, are separate and
distinct from IAP 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.
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. For example, the IAP Fee (defined further
below) will reduce the return you earn on investments held in
your Account. If the IAP Fee exceeds the overall return on your
investments, you will experience negative performance in your
Account. Additionally, it typically will cost you more, and Edward
Jones and its financial advisors will receive more revenue, when
you hold duration-based investments to maturity or over time
rather than in a commission-based brokerage account at Edward
Jones (e.g., Certificates of Deposit (“CDs”), bonds and cash
equivalents).
As further described in the Services Agreement, each Planning
Group must execute the Services Agreement except as otherwise
permitted by Edward Jones. IAP is being recommended to the
Planning Group as being in the best interest of the Planning
Group and in alignment with the Planning Group’s preferences.
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 our fiscal year end on December 31, 2025, we managed
$494,281,232,605 in discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739
in non-discretionary assets across all of our advisory programs.
This Brochure will apply to all Accounts and associated
Strategies opened now or in the future as instructed by you.
You will not receive this Brochure each time you open a new
Account, transfer an existing non-IAP Account to IAP, or
change your Strategy. This Brochure will only be provided
upon signing your Services Agreement; however, you will be
made aware of all material updates to this Brochure and can
find the latest version of this Brochure by visiting www.
edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures. Alternatively, you may
request a copy from your financial advisor at any time.

The information provided in this Brochure applies generally
to all Strategies and services unless a specific Strategy is
referenced. Strategies may be modified, removed, or added
at Edward Jones sole discretion.
Discretionary Strategies. IAP discretionary strategies currently
include:
• Managed Solutions. If selecting Managed Solutions, you are
fully delegating investment discretion based on your portfolio
preferences and/or model selection to Edward Jones. Edward
Jones has full authority to decide what investments to buy or
sell without your prior approval of each transaction in order to
construct and manage your portfolio. Within Managed
Solutions, you will work with your financial advisor to determine
the level of personalization for the construction of your
portfolio. Clients selecting the Managed Solutions Strategy also
have the option of utilizing Separately Managed Accounts
(“SMAs”) as described further below.
• Custom Managed Solutions. If selecting Custom Managed
“Affiliated mutual funds” refers to mutual funds managed by an
affiliate of Edward Jones, 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. Some affiliated mutual funds are
only available to be held or purchased in IAP and other Edward
Jones advisory programs and are not available to be held or
purchased in an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or at
another financial institution. Further restrictions on the purchase
of certain affiliated mutual funds may apply depending on the
Strategy selected. Edward Jones also prevents the purchase of
certain affiliated mutual funds for certain Strategies unless you
held shares of those mutual funds in a Strategy that permits the
purchase of affiliated mutual funds and then transfer them to the
Account that may otherwise not permit such purchases. Edward
Jones, in its sole discretion, may make exceptions based on the
particular facts and circumstances of your situation.
Solutions, you will work with your financial advisor to determine
how you prefer your account to be managed on an ongoing
basis. You are responsible for choosing your portfolio
preferences and/or selecting the investments from our list of
eligible investments for your Account. You also authorize
Edward Jones to take action in order to maintain alignment for
your portfolio on an ongoing basis and in our sole discretion.
Clients selecting the Custom Managed Solutions Strategy also
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 Managers as the “SMA
Managers” throughout this Brochure. The affiliated SMAs are
created by Edward Jones through a separate advisory program

automatically default to the Strategy most consistent with your
existing Edward Jones non-IAP advisory account, as determined
by Edward Jones. Edward Jones non-IAP advisory accounts will
migrate to IAP as follows:
called the Edward Jones SMA Model Portfolios. Please read this
Brochure and the accompanying Edward Jones SMA Model
Portfolios Brochure (if selecting this SMA) to understand the key
risks and differences for this SMA. You may also request a copy
of the affiliated SMA brochure from your financial advisor at any
time.

accounts and Advisory Solutions Fund Models accounts
utilizing Research Models in these programs will become
Managed Solutions Accounts consistent with your prior
non-IAP advisory account model configuration (whether as
Research Models or personalized Research Models). Edward
Jones and the Executing SMA Manager (as applicable) will
maintain discretion.
If utilizing an SMA, SMAs are provided to you by Edward Jones
employing multi-style investment services that are implemented
in your Account by Edward Jones using overlay management.
For more information on the services associated with overlay
management, please read this Brochure and the accompanying
brochure for the Edward Jones Overlay Management Services to
understand the full scope of these services and associated risks.
• Both Advisory Solutions Unified Managed Account Models
accounts and Advisory Solutions Fund Models accounts
utilizing Custom Models in these programs will become
Custom Managed Solutions Accounts consistent with your prior
non-IAP advisory account model configuration. Edward Jones
and the Executing SMA Manager (as applicable) will maintain
discretion.
• Financial Advisor Managed Solutions accounts (referring in this
instance to the non-IAP program with the same name) will
become FA Managed Accounts. Your financial advisor will
maintain discretion.
• Guided Solutions Flex accounts will become Client Directed
Accounts. You, as the client, will maintain discretion.
• Guided Solutions Fund accounts will become Custom
Managed Solutions Accounts. The Guided Solutions Fund
program is a non-discretionary program where the client
maintains discretion over the account. In IAP, all Guided
Solutions Fund Accounts that migrate to IAP will become
Custom Managed Solutions Accounts, which is a firm
discretionary Strategy. Accordingly, discretion will change on
Guided Solutions Fund accounts migrating to IAP.
Edward Jones is authorized to buy, sell, or trade securities in
your Account. SMA Managers can provide (a) a non-discretionary
model portfolio to Edward Jones and Edward Jones will, acting
as overlay manager, implement such model portfolio in your
Account in its discretion, or (b) a discretionary model portfolio and
then facilitate the trading in your Account to align with such
investment recommendations (SMA Managers acting in this
capacity are referred to hereinafter as an “Executing SMA
Manager”). SMA Managers (that are not Executing SMA
Managers) only provide a model portfolio consistent with a
general investment objective and these model portfolios are not
tailored to any individual client. Edward Jones, in its role as
sponsor of IAP, may restrict, in its sole discretion, Executing SMA
Managers from purchasing certain securities. Conversely, the
acting investment advisers in IAP in the roles of Overlay Manager
or Executing SMA Manager may seek to invest in investments
that are not available at Edward Jones. Additionally, the
investment advisers in IAP acting in the roles of Overlay Manager
or Executing SMA Manager may, in their sole discretion, reject an
Account for any reason. You can request a copy of the appointed
Overlay Manager’s and any Executing SMA Manager’s Form
ADV brochure from your financial advisor at any time or review
the latest brochure by visiting www.edwardjones.com/advisory-
prospectus/brochures.html or www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
As provided, relative to your non-IAP advisory account that
migrates to IAP, Edward Jones will retain the same
discretionary authority as held in your previous non-IAP
advisory account except in the case of Guided Solutions
Fund accounts migrating to IAP as described above. You
should review this Brochure and each Strategy carefully
before migrating your non-IAP advisory accounts to IAP.
Additionally, once your non-IAP advisory accounts migrate
to IAP, you may then inform your financial advisor of any
Strategy changes you wish to make. Certain features and
elections associated with your non-IAP advisory account will
carry through to IAP as further described in this Brochure.
Alternative Investments in Custom Managed Solutions. 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 ability to purchase Alternative Investments is
part of a pilot Edward Jones is conducting in Custom Managed
Solutions and is subject to additional client eligibility and
qualification requirements. For more information on Alternative
Investments, please see the “Alternative Investment Services
Pilot in Custom Managed Solutions” section further below.
FA Managed and Client Directed. Eligible investments primarily
include stocks, affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds,
and ETFs across a variety of asset classes as well as bonds,
CDs and cash equivalents.
Migrating non-IAP Advisory Accounts to IAP. Pursuant to the
Services Agreement, any existing Edward Jones non-IAP
advisory accounts that you choose to migrate to IAP will
Performance of Eligible Investments. There is no guarantee
that an eligible investment will perform in any particular manner.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Details
about the mutual funds and/or ETFs in your Account can be
found in the prospectus, statement of additional information
(“SAI”) and shareholder reports for each mutual fund and ETF,
and details about the Alternative Investments in your account can
be found in the prospectus, offering document, and/or
subscription agreement (collectively, “fund prospectus and other

fund documents”). It is important that you read these documents
before investing.
Information Sources for Eligible Investments. When analyzing
investments and developing recommendations that may be
appropriate for your Account, we rely on a variety of different
sources of information. Such sources may include research
conducted by Edward Jones that covers a wide range of eligible
investments and investment research reports issued by firms that
are not affiliated with us. In addition, we may use certain Edward
Jones investment tools to assist with recommendations that align
with your Account Portfolio Objective. The use of such investment
tools does not guarantee the performance of your Account or any
investments therein or protect against potential investment
losses.
Portfolio Objective”) and you will also select an appropriate
portfolio objective for each Account (“Account Portfolio
Objective”). 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 Goal
Portfolio Objective. 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. 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.
Edward Jones may add or remove portfolio objectives over time
without prior notice to you. However, Edward Jones will have no
authority to change your Goal Portfolio Objective or Account
Portfolio Objective without your instruction. To change either, you
must discuss with your financial advisor to make any changes.
Values-Based and Sustainable Investing. Certain available
investments may incorporate values-based or sustainable
investment strategies. Values-based investing considers a client’s
personal beliefs and values, while sustainable investing
incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
considerations. Such 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 such
investments available in IAP and the associated risk.
Cash Sweep. Cash balances 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 Account that is invested in
the Money Market Fund will be included in the calculation of your
IAP Fee (defined below). Please refer to Appendix A for more
information about the Money Market Fund.
Your Account Portfolio Objective determines the recommended
and allowable asset allocation ranges (“Target Ranges”). In
addition, Edward Jones’ applies certain guidelines designed to
monitor your Account for alignment with your Goal Portfolio
Objective and Account Portfolio Objective (“Investment
Diagnostics”). One or more Investment Diagnostics may assess
holdings in your other Edward Jones accounts, if any, assigned to
the same goal; your financial advisor may recommend that you
consider placing a trade in one or more of your other Edward
Jones accounts in order to address certain Investment
Diagnostics.
Your account’s asset allocation may also include a cash
allocation held in the Money Market Fund through the automatic
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, it may be determined to increase
the amount of cash you hold in your portfolio. The portion of your
Account that is held in the Money Market Fund or other cash
vehicles will be included in the calculation of your IAP Fee
(defined below). CDs are treated as fixed-income investments for
purposes of your asset allocation and not cash.
When you place trades in a brokerage account that could be
placed in your Account or another fee-based investment advisory
account at Edward Jones, a conflict of interest exists as Edward
Jones and your financial advisor will earn compensation on the
transactions, such as commissions and/or mark-ups or mark-
downs, that you would not bear if such transactions were placed
in your fee-based advisory account at Edward Jones. Such
transaction fees would be in addition to the asset-based advisory
fee that you pay for assets held within your Account(s) (fee-based
accounts) at Edward Jones.
Client Profile and Portfolio Objectives. In order to invest in a
Strategy, Edward Jones will establish a client profile for you that
contains important information about you and your Account,
which generally includes either your goal or purpose for investing
and your investment time horizon, risk tolerance, and other
financial information. Your time horizon will reflect the expected
time frame over which 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.
In consultation with your Edward Jones financial advisor, you
may select a portfolio objective for each of your goals (“Goal
Please contact your financial advisor to learn more about how
Investment Diagnostics help you achieve your financial goals.
The recommended and allowable Target Ranges, as well as
Investment Diagnostics, are determined solely by Edward Jones
and can be modified by Edward Jones without prior notice. If you
and your financial advisor determine extra flexibility is needed for
a period of time, Edward Jones may provide such flexibility
without requiring alignment adjustments under certain
circumstances such as permitting additional time for portfolio
implementation, or for tax or personal reasons. Until alignment
occurs, your Account may be exposed to greater risk than your
Account Portfolio Objective and/or Goal Portfolio Objective given
the deviation from your Target Ranges.

Strategy selected, as follows:
Account Portfolio Objectives and Goal Portfolio Objectives
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.
Growth Focus: This portfolio objective emphasizes higher
long-term growth and rising dividend potential, while providing
modest current interest income. Over the long term, it should
have higher risk than portfolios with a more income-oriented
objective.
Balanced toward Growth: This portfolio objective emphasizes
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.
Managed Solutions and Custom Managed Solutions. When you
invest in Managed Solutions or Custom Managed Solutions, you
give Edward Jones (and the Executing SMA Manager, as
applicable) discretionary investment and trading authority over
your Account as described below by Strategy. Examples may
include selecting, removing, and replacing eligible investments,
determining and changing the asset allocations and categories,
using discretion as to the time a trade will be made and the price
paid, aggregating trades, reinvesting dividends, automatically
buying and selling eligible investments to rebalance your Account
to the target asset allocation when determined necessary by
Edward Jones (or with respect to clients participating in the
Multi-Year Transition Service pilot as later described, trading your
Account in connection with your transition plan), using proceeds
to pay for the IAP Fee, selecting or exchanging the mutual fund
share class, and utilizing an affiliated transition fund in our
discretion as a short-term investment vehicle to facilitate an
eligible investment replacement.
Balanced Growth & Income: This portfolio objective has a
balanced emphasis between current interest income and
long-term growth with rising dividend potential. Over the long
term, it should have moderate risk.
Balanced toward Income: This portfolio objective emphasizes
current interest income while providing modest long-term growth
and rising dividend potential. Over the long term, it should have
lower to moderate risk.
Managed Solutions. When selecting Managed Solutions, the
discretionary investment and trading authority you give to Edward
Jones and the Executing SMA Manager(s), as applicable,
includes managing your assets on a discretionary basis by
buying and selling investments for your Account whenever
deemed appropriate and without your approval of each
transaction. This means that you give Edward Jones complete
control over the management of your Account and your portfolio
will align with the Account Portfolio Objective you select.
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.
You may choose a portfolio model that is pre-constructed by
Edward Jones using a select list of eligible investments that
invests your money into pre-determined percentages (target
weightings) across different Asset Allocation Categories. We can
also make changes to the eligible investments and the amount of
your money that is invested in the different Asset Allocation
Categories at any time without first giving you notice. Edward
Jones has ongoing discretion regarding the eligible investments,
asset allocation and rebalancing of your Account pursuant to your
chosen Account Portfolio Objective. We can remove and/or add
an eligible investment at any time without prior notice.
Edward Jones constructs and reviews the recommended and
allowable ranges for each Account Portfolio Objective. Due to
various influences such as changing market conditions or a
reclassification of an eligible investment to a different asset class,
we may change the recommended and allowable ranges of an
Account Portfolio Objective. Edward Jones categorizes these
eligible investments by investment style, which we refer to as
“Asset Allocation Categories.” Your investments will be allocated
to these 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. Edward
Jones can make changes to the list of eligible investments and
add or remove Asset Allocation Categories at any time without
prior notice. 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.
You may also create a more personalized recommended portfolio
from a broader list of eligible investments than is used in the
pre-constructed portfolio. This type of portfolio invests your
money across different Asset Allocation Categories after
considering factors unique to your situation such as your
preferences, existing assets and their respective characteristics,
potential capital gains and losses, and the characteristics of the
overall portfolio. A broader list of eligible investments is used to
maximize incorporation of these factors while also balancing
performance expectations in creating your recommended
portfolio. As a result, the performance of your portfolio could be
better or worse with increased personalization.
Investment 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.
If Edward Jones retires the pre-constructed portfolio model you
selected, then Edward Jones will, without prior notice to you,
select and implement a replacement pre-constructed portfolio
Investment and Trading Discretion. The initial and ongoing
investments and trading discretion differ depending on the
PAGE 7 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
model for your Account.
You cannot restrict individual securities in your Account when you
have selected Managed Solutions except within SMAs. You can
choose not to invest in specific eligible investments by selecting
the Custom Managed Solutions Strategy.
Notwithstanding the above, Edward Jones will select your
investments on an initial and ongoing basis when you have
indicated such portfolio preference. In such an event, if we
remove an eligible investment from the list of eligible investments
for any reason, Edward Jones will purchase and sell securities in
its sole discretion to realign your Account Portfolio Objective
without providing any notice of such change (which may include
the purchase or sale of affiliated mutual funds).
Liquidations may cause a taxable event as well as redemption
fees, if applicable.
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.
Custom Managed Solutions. When selecting Custom Managed
Solutions, the discretionary investment and trading authority you
give to Edward Jones and the Executing SMA Manager(s), as
applicable, includes managing your assets on a discretionary
basis by buying and selling investments for your Account
whenever deemed appropriate in order to help maintain
alignment within your Account. You can choose your portfolio
preferences and/or the initial investments in your portfolio from
our list of eligible investments. Your Asset Allocation Category
and investment target percentages will be based on the ranges
that Edward Jones has deemed acceptable for your Account
Portfolio Objective. 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 with this Strategy type at any one time, and
the minimum and maximum percentage allocations to those
investments held in these Accounts.
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 a number of instances including, but not limited to,
when assets are added to your Account or rebalancing occurs.
The purchase of additional shares of such eligible investment and
the eventual mandatory removal of such shares may result in a
taxable event. The replacement eligible investment may be
subject to higher internal expenses than the prior investment.
Where Edward Jones, in our sole discretion, deems appropriate,
it may deviate from the weighting ranges within a particular
Account Portfolio Objective and create a portfolio with different
weighting ranges that is appropriate for a specific subset of
clients within that Account Portfolio Objective. If you elect such a
portfolio, you will be expected to set Asset Allocation Category
and eligible investments targets within the range that Edward
Jones designates for that portfolio, rather than the ranges
designated under the Account Portfolio Objective.
Please see the “Alternative Investments Transition” section within
Item 6 for information on what will occur if an Alternative
Investment is removed from IAP as an eligible investment.
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
investment selections or your chosen Asset Allocation Category
or eligible investment targets, we may modify your asset
allocation to bring your Account back into alignment with your
chosen Account Portfolio Objective.
Multi-Year Transition Service Pilot for Custom Managed
Solutions. Edward Jones is conducting a Multi-Year Transition
Service pilot with a limited number of clients. The Multi-Year
Transition Service pilot is intended for clients seeking to fund
their taxable Custom Managed Solutions 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 Account. The Multi-Year Transition Service
pilot 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 Services Agreement.
If an eligible investment is removed from the list of eligible
investments for any reason, the eligible investment being
removed can no longer be held in your Account. If we remove an
eligible investment, we will, when possible, provide you notice
and recommend another appropriate eligible investment (which
may include affiliated mutual funds). You can choose our
recommendation or another eligible investment from the list of
eligible investments in the same Asset Allocation Category as the
eligible investment being removed. If you do not select an
appropriate eligible investment replacement within the
established timeframe of such notice, we will liquidate the eligible
investment being removed and use the recommended eligible
investment as the replacement.
Overlay Management (Managed Solutions and Custom Managed
Solutions with SMAs). Clients selecting Managed Solutions or
Custom Managed Solutions Strategies have the option of utilizing
SMAs. If selecting SMAs, Edward Jones acts as an overlay
manager and provides overlay management services to your
Account. In the capacity of overlay manager, Edward Jones is
authorized to buy, sell or trade securities in your Account in a
PAGE 8 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

the desired investment allocation during the Transition Period.
manner consistent with your Account Portfolio Objective and 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. Examples of services Edward
Jones will perform for your Account if selecting SMAs includes,
but is not limited to:
• Implementing instructions by SMA Managers
• Placing orders pursuant to the model portfolio recommendations
of the SMA Managers and/or communicating orders through
Edward Jones’ broker-dealer or other broker-dealers (note, a
taxable Account funded with securities will result in purchase and/
or sale orders in your Account which may have tax
consequences);
With certain eligible investments, the Executing SMA Managers
have discretion to buy, sell or trade securities directly in your
Account and also retain discretion to select where transactions
are executed. Executing SMA Managers for these eligible
investments do not provide instructions to Edward Jones for
implementation; however, Edward Jones can also exercise
discretion with respect to these securities in a manner consistent
with the information provided above not related to implementing
instructions from Executing SMA Managers. Edward Jones
retains sole responsibility for selecting the overlay manager and
reserves the right, at any time and at its sole discretion, to
replace the overlay manager with either an affiliated or
unaffiliated investment manager.
• Aggregating orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities;
• Placing orders for the purchase, sale or redemption of shares of
mutual funds and/or ETFs in accordance with the parameters set
by your investment model or as instructed by you;
• Rebalancing one or more Asset Allocation Categories or eligible
investments within your Account back toward their respective
targets if, pursuant to parameters determined in the 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
investment guidelines set by Edward Jones, 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
FA Managed. When you enroll in FA Managed, you grant your
financial advisor and Edward Jones the authority to exercise
investment and trading discretion for your enrolled Account on an
ongoing basis and take other trading actions without first
consulting with you. Your financial advisor will exercise this
authority over your Account as an investment adviser
representative of Edward Jones and is your primary point of
contact. After you have selected your Account Portfolio Objective,
your financial advisor will choose from the eligible investments to
implement your Account Portfolio Objective. Edward Jones and
your financial advisor will be responsible for monitoring your
Account on an ongoing basis, including directing the buying and
selling of investments in your Account and as necessary bringing
your Account into alignment with the Investment Diagnostics and
Target Ranges for your Account Portfolio Objective. As a result,
the specific investments and asset allocation for your Account
may change over time, and deviate substantially from your initial
asset allocation, to reflect the realignment of your portfolio with
our advice. Realignment may include buying one or more
investments in your Account and/or selling one or more
investments and reinvesting the proceeds in your Account. In
certain instances, Edward Jones may take action in place of your
financial advisor to realign your FA Managed Account in
accordance with the Investment Diagnostics or Target Ranges.
Account alignment transactions may result in tax consequences
as well as additional fees and expenses.
• Managing your taxable Account in a tax-efficient manner with
the objective of minimizing your realized gains and maximizing
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.
When you select FA Managed, you give the financial advisor and
other Edward Jones personnel authority to take certain actions,
which includes but is not limited to: buying, selling, or replacing
eligible investments, determining and changing the asset
allocations and categories, using discretion as to the time a trade
will be made and the price paid, aggregating trades, reinvesting
dividends, using proceeds to pay for the IAP Fee, and selecting
or exchanging the mutual fund share class (the share class
exchanged to may not be the lowest-priced share class
available).
• Monitoring and maintaining the required cash thresholds in your
Account that are set by each selected SMA strategy or by your
financial advisor if using a pre-constructed portfolio model
developed by them. If your cash balance goes above the
threshold for one of your SMA strategies or the threshold in the
preconstructed portfolio model set by your financial advisor,
Edward Jones will apply the excess cash into the investments
held within the SMA strategy or the qualifying stock held in your
financial advisor’s preconstructed portfolio model.
• For clients enrolled in the Multi-Year Transition Service,
adjusting target portfolio allocations over time with the goal of
minimizing your realized gains while transitioning to your stated
investment targets. It may not be possible to achieve or maintain
If you elect to enroll in one or more systematic investing
programs for your Account, Edward Jones will automatically
purchase, sell or exchange certain securities as determined by
your Financial Advisor on a periodic basis. The discretionary
investment and trading authority you give to Edward Jones does

Edward Jones brokerage account.
not include the ability to withdraw, disburse, or transfer funds or
securities from your Account, which will continue to require your
prior authorization except with respect to the payment of the IAP
Fee.
You may elect to impose restrictions as applicable on the
purchase of specific securities for your Account so long as the
restrictions are reasonable as determined by us and your
portfolio can be maintained within proper alignment when the
restrictions are applied. When a security is restricted from
purchase, your Account performance 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.
Rebalancing. Rebalancing options are as follows:
Some financial Advisors are part of a team, and in such cases,
other financial advisors and other licensed professionals that are
part of your financial advisor’s team may act on your financial
advisor’s behalf from time to time. Such services include but are
not limited to exercising investment and trading authority for your
Account as investment adviser representatives of Edward Jones.
Accordingly, with respect to granting discretionary authority when
selecting the FA Managed Strategy, references to your “financial
advisor” include your financial advisor’s team. Additionally, there
may be circumstances where Edward Jones’ home office may
take action with respect to your Account, including but not limited
to exercising investment and trading discretion for your Account,
where required to take such action under Edward Jones’ policies
and procedures. Edward Jones retains the authority to remove
your financial advisor at any time from the FA Managed Strategy.
In such event, we will attempt to contact you and will offer,
subject to your direction and consent, to transfer your Account to
another Strategy offered by Edward Jones. If we are unable to
contact you or you fail to respond to our offer within a reasonable
period of time, we may elect to terminate your Account.
Managed Solutions and Custom Managed Solutions. In order to
keep your Account in line with your target allocations, generally
your Account will be automatically rebalanced if the eligible
investments comprising your portfolio have deviated too far from
the target asset allocations (“Threshold Rebalancing”).
Rebalancing will occur if either eligible investments or Asset
Allocation Categories are out of balance by an amount and for a
time period determined by Edward Jones. Rebalancing is
achieved by buying, redeeming or selling shares of eligible
investments, which may include affiliated mutual funds, until the
asset allocation in your Account is in alignment with the target
asset allocation. We may also rebalance your Account if an
eligible investment is removed from the list of eligible investments
or an eligible investment is added to your portfolio. Your Account
may also 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 rebalance occurs. Neither asset allocation
nor rebalancing is guaranteed to produce a profit or protect
against loss. Rebalancing trades in a taxable Account may result
in taxable events as well as additional fees and expenses.
Client Directed. When selecting the Client Directed Strategy, you
maintain discretion over the Account. This means that after you
have selected your Account Portfolio Objective, you may choose
from among the investment options available to implement your
Account Portfolio Objective and you decide how much to invest in
each eligible investment within the Target Ranges. You are also
responsible for directing the buying and selling of eligible
investments in your Account as necessary to bring your Account
into alignment with the target ranges for your Account Portfolio
Objective.
Edward Jones will review your Account and periodically notify you
when your Account is out of alignment with the Target Ranges or
Investment Diagnostics for your Account Portfolio Objective, and
you will be responsible for realigning your Account within the time
frame established by Edward Jones. To realign your Account, you
must provide instructions to Edward Jones to buy one or more
investments in your Account, to sell one or more investments and
reinvest the proceeds in your Account, to sell an investment and
transfer the proceeds to another Account, to transfer an
investment to another Account, or to deposit additional assets in
your Account. Such transactions may result in tax consequences
as well as additional fees and expenses.
Managed Solutions. Pre-constructed portfolios will be
automatically rebalanced using Threshold Rebalancing if the
Eligible investments comprising your portfolio have deviated too
far from the target asset allocations. Threshold rebalancing for
pre-constructed portfolios generally includes rebalancing the
weightings of your existing investments in your portfolio as
needed and without your authorization. Since portfolios that
include greater personalization consider factors unique to your
situation, Accounts using greater personalization will be
automatically rebalanced as needed using Threshold
Rebalancing while also taking into account such preferences and
tax impact. Threshold rebalancing for personalized portfolios
generally includes rebalancing the weightings of your
investments in your portfolio and/or changing the investments in
your portfolio without your authorization.
You are responsible for all trading and investment decisions in
your Account and should not rely solely on the recommendations
of Edward Jones or your financial advisor in choosing among
eligible investments.
For all Strategies, if you are otherwise limited or restricted from
purchasing a security in your Account, you may elect to
purchase, or based on your specific situation, your financial
advisor may recommend you purchase the same security in an
Custom Managed Solutions. If your Account contains at least
$25,000 in assets, you may choose between receiving Threshold
Rebalancing, or having your Account automatically rebalanced
on an annual basis (“Annual Rebalancing”) to restore your
Account to its target allocations, and for certain portfolio
preferences rebalanced to include new investments and/or

without providing any notice of such change (which may include
the purchase or sale of affiliated mutual funds).
Client Directed. Edward Jones will notify you and you must
provide your financial advisor with instruction to replace the
investment within the time frame established by Edward Jones. If
you do not provide instructions to remove an ineligible investment
within the time frame established by Edward Jones, your Account
will be removed from IAP.
targets. You will not be notified before receiving Annual
Rebalancing or Threshold Rebalancing. Only Annual
Rebalancing is available for Accounts with less than $25,000 in
assets. In addition to these rebalancing options, you may be
eligible for on-demand rebalancing. Upon receipt of your on-
demand rebalancing request, your Account will be rebalanced by
Edward Jones to restore your Account to its target allocations. In
periods of high demand, we will rebalance your account at the
earliest opportunity. On-demand rebalancing will not be available
if your Account has been rebalanced within thirty-one (31) days
prior to your request, if your Account is being automatically
rebalanced at the time of your request, or if your Account is
otherwise restricted by Edward Jones. On-demand rebalancing
also may not be available while your Account’s target allocations
are out of alignment with your Account Portfolio Objective’s
Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics. If your on-demand
rebalancing request is received within 31 days prior to an annual
rebalancing date, the on-demand rebalancing will serve as the
annual rebalancing.
Until the ineligible investment is replaced, there is a possibility
that additional shares of the ineligible 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 an ineligible investment and
the eventual removal of such shares may result in a taxable
event. Additionally, the replacement eligible investment may be
subject to higher internal expenses than the prior investment and
may result in your target allocations being out of alignment with
the Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for your Account
Portfolio Objective.
If utilizing SMAs in Custom Managed Solutions, only Threshold
Rebalancing will be available.
FA Managed. Your financial advisor will be responsible for
monitoring and realigning your Account in his or her sole
discretion.
Brokerage Services. IAP trades are typically executed through
Edward Jones. When Edward Jones executes trades for your
Account, we are not acting as an investment adviser, but solely
as a broker-dealer. You cannot request that your orders be
executed through another broker-dealer. Not all investment
advisers require their clients to execute their trades through a
certain broker-dealer as we do.
Trading in your Account will be subject to our trading policies and
practices. You will not be charged trade commissions or mark-
ups on trades. However, IAP may cost you more or less than
purchasing advisory services and brokerage services separately,
depending on certain factors such as the frequency of your
trading.
Client Directed. The Client Directed Strategy does not offer an
automatic rebalancing feature. If your account becomes
misaligned with your Account Portfolio Objective, you will need to
work with your financial advisor to make any adjustments to your
Account. In the event your Account moves out of alignment, you
will be notified in accordance with Edward Jones’s time frames
for notification. If you do not provide instructions to Edward Jones
to realign your Account within the required time frame, your
Account will be removed from IAP.
Ineligible Investments. You will not be able to hold any
investment in your Account that Edward Jones has deemed
ineligible or that is unavailable for your Account. In the event that
Edward Jones re-categorizes an investment from an eligible
investment to an ineligible investment, the following action will
occur:
IAP trades are often aggregated. This means that trades for your
Account are combined with other client accounts, including
accounts for Edward Jones associates, and executed in a single
trade or series of trades. Once the trade is executed, it is then
allocated to your Account in the proper amount. Trade
aggregation is done to increase operational efficiencies and
allows us to keep trading costs down.
Managed Solutions and FA Managed. Edward Jones or your
financial advisor will take action to liquidate and replace the
investment on your behalf without notice to you.
Eligible investment trades that are aggregated are executed each
trading day at times determined by Edward Jones. If an eligible
investment trade is made after the last designated trade
aggregation cutoff time, it will be executed on the next business
day. You may not receive the same price as trades executed the
prior trading day. As a result, trade aggregation may affect the
price you receive for an eligible investment in your Account.
Custom Managed Solutions. Edward Jones will notify you and
you must provide your financial advisor with instruction to replace
the investment within the time frame established by Edward
Jones. If no instructions are received within the established
timeframe or such shorter time, as may be determined by Edward
Jones, Edward Jones will effectuate the replacement trade in its
sole discretion. Notwithstanding the above, Edward Jones will
select your investments on an initial and ongoing basis when you
have indicated such portfolio preference. In such an event, if we
remove an eligible investment from the list of eligible investments
for any reason, Edward Jones will purchase and sell securities in
its sole discretion to realign your Account Portfolio Objective
ETF trades may be rounded to the nearest whole share. If there
is not sufficient cash or assets invested in a money market fund
to cover rounding, Edward Jones is authorized to sell a sufficient
amount of assets held in your Account to purchase a whole ETF
share which may cause your Account to be out of alignment.
Such transactions would be effected without regard to tax
consequences. Additionally, you may have to pay redemption
fees to a fund company if those ETF shares were held for only a

short time.
in your Account, you will not be charged or pay additional costs
for the execution of such trade. For this reason, Edward Jones,
acting as overlay manager, and an Executing SMA Manager may
determine that Edward Jones’ execution capabilities as broker-
dealer provide the most favorable option for routing and
executing trade orders in your account. Alternatively, Edward
Jones, acting as overlay manager, or an Executing SMA Manager
may determine to execute trades with another broker-dealer if
either reasonably believes that a different broker-dealer can
obtain a more favorable execution than Edward Jones 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.
Managed Solutions and Custom Managed Solutions. Custom
Managed Solutions trades are not aggregated with Managed
Solutions trades when we remove an eligible investment from the
list of eligible investments (except where the portfolio setting
described below is applied). Because Custom Managed
Solutions Accounts are typically given notice and time to select
an eligible investment replacement other than the recommended
eligible investment replacement, such trades will normally trade
after Managed Solutions Accounts and may trade after Custom
Managed Solutions accounts with portfolio preferences set for
Edward Jones to select the investments on an initial and ongoing
basis. As a result, trades placed in the same eligible investment
may execute at different prices depending on the Strategy and
portfolio preference selected.
Managed Solutions and Custom Managed Solutions with SMAs.
When utilizing SMAs, Edward Jones and the Executing SMA
Managers, as applicable, have discretion over your Account to
determine when and what eligible investments to buy or sell in
accordance to the portfolio model you have selected or, in the
case of an Executing SMA Manager, their model portfolio
recommendations. Additionally, Edward Jones and, as applicable,
an Executing SMA Manager will determine what broker-dealer
will fulfill or execute the buy or sell orders generated for your
Account.
When Edward Jones is acting as executing broker, there may be
times when we engage in “principal transactions.” This means
that we will fill your buy or sell orders from our own inventory of
securities. We will not charge you a markup or markdown on
these principal transactions. However, if an 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 we are permitted to do so under applicable law.
Edward Jones may also engage in “cross transactions”. 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. If this
occurs with an Executing SMA Manager, they will direct all trades
and will instruct either Edward Jones or another broker-dealer to
execute those trades. Edward Jones will engage in cross
transactions only where permitted to do so under applicable law.
For the buy and sell orders generated by Edward Jones, as
overlay manager, or an Executing SMA Manager for your
Account, it is generally anticipated that these transactions will be
routed to and executed through Edward Jones’ broker-dealer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Edward Jones and an Executing
SMA Manager have an obligation to seek best execution for all
trades they create in your Account, which means Edward Jones,
as overlay manager, and an Executing SMA Manager have full
authority to route and execute trades with those broker-dealers
that they believe are capable of providing the best qualitative
execution under the circumstances, even if such broker-dealers
are not Edward Jones.
If Edward Jones, acting as overlay manager, or Executing SMA
Manager executes trade orders with another broker-dealer, you
will incur trading costs in addition to the IAP Fee. The trading
costs for step-out trades to another broker-dealer may include
commissions, markups, mark-downs or “spreads” paid to market
makers in addition to the IAP 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
mark-down. 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 IAP Fee.
Factors that Edward Jones or an Executing SMA Manager may
consider when determining what broker-dealer to route buy and
sell orders for execution in your Account include: what, if any,
additional trading costs will be applied; 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.
Edward Jones, as overlay manager, and an Executing SMA
Manager may consider different factors or may place different
weight on the factors it uses to meet its best execution obligation.
Edward Jones, as overlay manager, and the Executing SMA
Manager’s best execution obligations do not require either to
obtain the best price or the lowest available cost of trade orders.
When Edward Jones, as a broker-dealer, executes a trade order
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. 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, Edward Jones may, and has at times,
engaged in trading away. Please see Edward Jones’ website at
www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures for more information
and 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
PAGE 12 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
any) of those trades.
Managed Solutions accounts. Because Custom Managed
Solutions accounts are typically given notice and time to select
an eligible investment replacement other than the recommended
eligible investment, Custom Managed Solutions accounts will
normally trade after Managed Solutions accounts. As a result,
Managed Solutions accounts may receive different prices than
Custom Managed Solutions accounts.
Edward Jones does not engage in soft-dollar arrangements;
however, the Executing SMA Managers may direct transactions
to brokers in return for brokerage or research services. In certain
instances, an Executing SMA Manager engaged in soft-dollar
arrangements may pay a broker-dealer (other than Edward
Jones) higher commissions than what another broker-dealer
adequately qualified to effect such transactions would have
charged, where an 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 Executing SMA Managers to seek
best execution for trades in your Account(s).
Executing SMA Managers are responsible for ensuring they
comply with their best execution obligations to you. You should
also review the relevant Executing SMA Managers’ Form ADV
Part 2A Brochure to learn about their respective trading practices
and consider that information carefully before choosing to invest
in SMAs. In particular, you should carefully consider any
additional trading costs you may incur.
Additionally, you should review the Edward Jones Overlay
Management Services Form ADV Part 2A Brochure and each
discretionary 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
associated services, soft-dollar, trade aggregation and trade
rotation practices, and any related conflicts of interest. Brochures
for all SMA Managers, discretionary or non-discretionary, can be
found at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
An Executing SMA Manager may participate in other wrap fee
programs sponsored by firms other than Edward Jones. In
addition,an Executing SMA Manager 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
Executing SMA Managers’ client accounts through multiple
broker-dealers, an Executing SMA Manager may decide to
aggregate all such client transactions into a block trade that is
executed through one broker-dealer. This practice may enable
the Executing SMA Manager 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 Executing SMA Manager in potentially
avoiding an adverse effect on the price of a security that could
result from simultaneously placing multiple separate successive
or competing client orders. This practice generally results in
“trading away” from Edward Jones. See the section titled
“Overlay Management (Managed Solutions and Custom
Managed Solutions with SMAs)” for information on how Edward
Jones handles trade allocations when they are acting as overlay
manager and broker-dealer.
Trade Allocation. From time to time, the volume and/or number
of trades that must be executed for Accounts may exceed
Edward Jones’ operational and technological capacities if these
trades are made on a single day. For example, this may occur if
Edward Jones is removing or re-categorizing an eligible
investment from the list of eligible investments, if a large number
of Accounts need to be rebalanced, or by request of the manager
or sponsor 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 based on the
time of order entry or over an extended period of time. This may
result in clients receiving different prices during such events.
Alternatively, an Executing SMA Manager may use a trade
rotation process where one group of clients may have a
transaction effected before or after another group of the
Executing SMA Managers’ clients. The Executing SMA Manager
implements their trades with certain clients, custodians or
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 completed for your Account near or at the end of the
Executing SMA Manager’s trade 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.
In addition, if the volume or size of redemptions required to be
effected as a result of the removal or re-categorizing 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
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 affect the
redemptions over time in a manner consistent with the limits set
forth in the eligible investment’s trading policies and procedures.
Principal Trading. Principal trading occurs in the following
scenarios:
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, we will work to promptly correct the
error while ensuring your account is not disadvantaged. It is
Edward Jones and, as applicable, an Executing SMA Manager
will not aggregate or rotate trades for Custom Managed Solutions
accounts with trades for Managed Solutions accounts. Similarly,
trades resulting in the removal and replacement of an eligible
investment in the Program, will not result in Edward Jones or, as
applicable, the Executing SMA Manager, aggregating or rotating
trades for Custom Managed Solutions accounts with trades for

61-day period). Once the 61-day wash sale period has expired,
Edward Jones will typically sell the Replacement Security, and
then reinvest the proceeds back into the eligible investments in
your Account in accordance with your selected Account Portfolio
Objective. Please contact your financial advisor to learn more
about the TLH service, including its availability.
Edward Jones’ policy to use an Edward Jones error account to
correct trades. This may result in there being trades placed
between your Account and an Edward Jones error account.
When using an error account, we engage in “principal
transactions.” This means that we will transact with you from our
own inventory of securities. 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.
Fractional Shares. Edward Jones may execute trades for
Accounts as principal to purchase a security from you for our
inventory in connection with fractional share liquidations.
Principal transactions cause a conflict between Edward Jones’
and your interests, including when Edward Jones generates
additional revenue due to market movement, resulting in gains on
our inventory positions.
TLH Eligibility for Managed Solutions and Custom Managed
Solutions. The TLH service applies to eligible investments in an
eligible taxable Account (“Eligible TLH Account”). Eligible TLH
Accounts include Managed Solutions or Custom Managed
Solutions Strategies which generally contain at least $25,000 in
assets in the Eligible TLH Account. The TLH service will exclude
eligible investments with missing cost basis information or those
eligible investments that do not, based on the sole determination
of Edward Jones, have an alternative Replacement Security to
tax-loss harvest. Similarly, the TLH service will not be available to
accounts that are not active or have certain account-level
restrictions in place. Any purchase or sale of eligible investments
to rebalance your account to the target asset allocation by
Edward Jones as part of a model trade will take precedence over
the TLH service.
TLH Enrollment for Managed Solutions and Custom Managed
Solutions. Before enrolling in Managed Solutions or Custom
Managed Solutions, discuss with your financial advisor whether
you are electing the TLH service for your Account.
Principal Trading in Client Directed with Planning Group Consent.
Edward Jones may execute trades for Client Directed Accounts
as principal by selling a security from our inventory to you or
purchasing a security from you for our inventory. Principal
transactions cause a conflict between Edward Jones’ and your
interests, including when Edward Jones generates additional
revenue due to market movement, resulting in gains on our
inventory positions. Edward Jones also has an incentive to
recommend the purchase of a security held in our inventory that
is difficult to sell, a conflict addressed by Edward Jones’ policies
and procedures. For principal transactions in Client Directed,
Edward Jones will provide required disclosures and obtain your
verbal consent prior to the trade, where permitted by law and
regulation, and contingent upon receipt of consent by the
Planning Group to conduct such principal trading in the IAP
Authorization and Agreement Form.
You may elect the TLH service whether in Managed Solutions or
Custom Managed Solutions or unenroll at any time by informing
your financial advisor. If you are transitioning any account to an
Eligible TLH Account or switching your Strategy within Eligible
TLH Account(s), you must inform your financial advisor if you
wish to keep, add, or remove your previous TLH election. Any
TLH service elections or unenrollment instructions for an Account
can be provided by any Account holder for that Account without
the authorization of the other joint Account holder(s).
The timing of your enrollment in the TLH service will determine
when your Eligible TLH Account will be initially reviewed for
tax-loss harvesting opportunities; however, Edward Jones does
not offer guarantees that your Eligible TLH Account will be initially
reviewed for tax-loss harvesting opportunities within the same
calendar quarter that you enroll in the TLH service.
Tax-Loss Harvesting. Edward Jones offers the Tax-Loss
Harvesting (“TLH”) service that is in addition to and separate from
the core management of your Account. The TLH service reviews
eligible investments in certain eligible taxable Accounts, on a
quarterly basis, for opportunities to realize capital losses. Using
trading thresholds, Edward Jones will sell a security to realize a
taxable loss (“Harvestable Security”) and use the proceeds to, in
its sole discretion, select and purchase a different security
(“Replacement Security”) that will maintain the asset allocation
pursuant to your chosen Account Portfolio Objective.
TLH Limitations. The TLH service does not consider certain
characteristics unique to an investment that may result in
changes to an investment’s final cost basis, such as eligible
investments that have been gifted to you. When providing the
TLH service in an Account, Edward Jones will not take into
consideration securities held in other investment advisory or
brokerage accounts at Edward Jones, including other Account(s)
enrolled in the TLH service or accounts in other financial
institutions (if applicable). Therefore, transactions in other
investment advisory or brokerage accounts, including other
Accounts enrolled in the TLH service at Edward Jones or
accounts at other financial institutions, can adversely affect
whether a capital loss that is harvested in the Eligible TLH
Account will benefit the client. Accordingly, it is the client’s
The Replacement Security may be any investment that qualifies
as an eligible investment, even if not currently held in your
Account, and will have a similar risk profile as the Harvestable
Security, as determined in Edward Jones’ sole discretion. Edward
Jones’ use of Replacement Securities seeks to avoid triggering a
wash sale within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and accompanying regulations (“Tax Law”);
however, there is no assurance regarding how the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) would view these transactions. The
wash sale rule provides that a tax loss will be disallowed if a
person buys the same security, a contract or option to buy the
security, or a “substantially identical” security, within 30 days
before or after the date they sold the loss-generating security (a

Program”); (ii) automatic distribution Cross-Reinvestments
(“Cross-Reinvestment Program”); (iii) periodic transactions of
certain mutual funds (“Systematic Mutual Fund Program”); and
(iv) periodic transactions of certain equity securities (“Dollar Cost
Averaging Program”). In order to participate in the systematic
investing program(s), the client will need to enroll by providing
oral or written instruction to their financial advisor.
responsibility to monitor any other accounts at Edward Jones or
other financial institutions to avoid any Wash Sales. You should
consult your tax and/or legal advisor prior to selecting the TLH
service, as well as on an ongoing basis, to determine whether the
Wash Sales rule or other tax rules apply to the trading activity in
your Eligible TLH Account or in other investment advisory or
brokerage accounts at Edward Jones or other financial
institutions, if applicable.
For Client Directed, the client will determine the securities subject
to the systematic investing program(s). For FA Managed, the
financial advisor will determine the securities subject to the
systematic investing program(s). Edward Jones will act as agent
with respect to such securities. Participation in a systematic
investing program is voluntary, and the client can modify or
discontinue participation at any time. Only certain securities, as
determined by Edward Jones, are eligible for participation.
Participation in a systematic investing program does not ensure
profits on investments or protect against losses in declining
markets. Edward Jones is not recommending the purchase or
sale of any security by designating it as eligible for participation in
a systematic investing program.
Dividend Reinvestment Program. If participating in the Dividend
Reinvestment Program, dividends or distributions paid on eligible
non-mutual fund securities selected will automatically be
reinvested into shares of the same security. The eligible
securities selected may change from time to time. Edward Jones
will purchase shares of the reinvestment security in the open
market, and the price paid will be the weighted average price
paid by Edward Jones in any such market transaction(s). Mutual
fund dividends and capital gains will be reinvested by default.
TLH Frequency and Implementation. For the Account(s) utilizing
the TLH service, we will review eligible investments for capital
losses on a quarterly basis. In certain circumstances (for
example, if market conditions present an opportunity), we may, in
our sole discretion, review and/or conduct harvesting more than
once in a calendar quarter. Alternatively, we may, in our sole
discretion, postpone or not conduct tax-loss harvesting if, for
instance, market volatility is causing excessive market movement
that may impact the results of harvesting or in situations where
we determine harvesting is not appropriate. As a result, Edward
Jones makes no guarantees regarding the frequency and/or
timing of tax-loss harvesting and will not be liable for any tax
consequences, losses, or missed opportunities arising from our
decisions whether to review your Account(s) or conduct
harvesting. Each TLH service event is pursuant to trading
thresholds as established by Edward Jones through its TLH
service (which include, but are not limited to minimum trade
amounts, minimum loss percentages and maximum portfolio
turnover percentages) and are subject to change without notice
to the client. The date Edward Jones reviews your Eligible TLH
Account for tax-loss harvesting opportunities may not align with,
or be changed for, market events that may impact, even
significantly, the value of the eligible investments in your Account.
Therefore, not all losses will be realized. You will not be notified
before tax-loss harvesting occurs.
Tax Loss Harvesting if utilizing SMAs. If utilizing SMAs in
Managed Solutions or Custom Managed Solutions, tax loss
harvesting is provided, along with other tax-efficient management
strategies, through its overlay management services (not the TLH
service described above). Such overlay management services
are further described in this Brochure and in the Edward Jones
Overlay Management Services Brochure.
Generally, reinvestment purchases will be made in advance of
and credited to the Account on the distribution payment date. In
the event the distribution payment amount on an owned security
is not known in advance, the purchase and reinvestment will be
made as soon thereafter as the amount of the distribution
payment can be calculated with certainty, including any
necessary currency conversions. If a company offers its
shareholders an option to receive their dividend in company
stock, known as a scrip dividend, Edward Jones will use the cash
or reinvest election as the basis for allocating the dividend
payments. If elected company stock is included in the Edward
Jones Dividend Reinvestment Program and the company
suspends or cancels its company stock option, Edward Jones will
continue the accumulation of shares by reinvesting the dividends
through Edward Jones’ Dividend Reinvestment Program. If the
company subsequently reinstates its company stock option and
the client is reinvesting, the dividends will be paid in company
stock in accordance with the company’s scrip dividend program.
Tax Loss Harvesting if utilizing Client Directed and FA Managed.
The Client Directed and FA Managed Strategies do not provide
tax efficient strategies. Your financial advisor may take into
account tax considerations as one factor among others when
making investment and trading decisions for your Account.
However, these Strategies do not provide quantitative or
programmatic tax-loss or gain harvesting services and will not
monitor for tax consequences on an ongoing basis. You should
consult with your tax advisor for tax advice, including advice on
potential tax consequences of trading activity.
Cross-Reinvestment Program. If participating in the Cross-
Reinvestment Program, dividends from securities and/or
distributions from eligible mutual funds may be automatically
reinvested into shares of certain eligible mutual funds as selected
(“Cross-Reinvestment Security”). For FA Managed, the securities,
eligible mutual funds, and/or Cross-Reinvestment Securities
selected by the financial advisor may change from time to time.
Systematic Investing in Client Directed and FA Managed.
Systematic investing programs provide for the capability to
automatically purchase, sell or exchange certain securities on a
periodic basis. These systematic investing programs include: (i)
automatic dividend reinvestments (“Dividend Reinvestment
Generally, for non-mutual fund securities, on the business day
PAGE 15 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
prior to the distribution payment date, Edward Jones will invest
the funds received into shares of the Cross-Reinvestment
Security, which will settle on the following business day.
Generally, for mutual funds, on the same business day as the
distribution payment, Edward Jones will invest the funds received
into shares of the Cross-Reinvestment Security, which will settle
on the following business day. The price paid for such Cross-
Reinvestment Security will be the public offering price of the
security, as determined in its prospectus. The Cross-
Reinvestment of distributions from one mutual fund to another
mutual fund is generally only permitted among affiliated funds
and may otherwise be limited by the terms of the funds’
prospectus and other fund documents.
Systematic Mutual Fund Program. If participating in the
Systematic Mutual Fund Program, Edward Jones will periodically
purchase, sell or exchange shares of eligible mutual funds
selected and held in the Account. As described in the applicable
fund prospectus and other fund documents, purchases will be
made at the public offering price and sales or exchanges
executed at the net asset value. These transactions will be
executed automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or
annual basis, and at the dollar amount specified by the financial
advisor (in FA Managed) or by the client (in Client Directed) for
such transactions. The eligible mutual funds selected by my
Financial Advisor (in FA Managed) may change from time to time.
discussion of the risks as well as “Margin Risk” below before
taking out a margin loan. The Margin Disclosure also includes a
discussion of the costs of margin loans. As discussed below, you
will pay interest charges on your margin loans in addition to the
IAP Fee. Before taking out a margin loan in your Account, first
evaluate the intended duration of the loan and your other options,
including alternative loan options or liquidating securities. It is our
view that margin loans are most appropriate when short in
duration. To the extent that a margin call is triggered in
connection with your Account and we are forced to sell any
securities or other assets to satisfy the margin call, we will act
solely in our capacity as a broker-dealer and lender (and not as
an investment adviser). Moreover, if selling such securities in
order to satisfy a margin call, we will prioritize our interest over
your interests. Your financial advisor cannot obtain a margin loan
for you with respect to your Account without your authorization.
Additionally, it is important to note that if you would like to change
the Strategy for your Account to one that cannot hold a Margin,
you will be required to satisfy the entirety of the loan balance
before changing Strategies. Additionally, if you terminate your
Services Agreement and do not instruct us to transfer the assets
in your Account to another Edward Jones account that is eligible
for the margin loan: (i) the margin loan (if any) associated with
your Account will be terminated by us; (ii) all outstanding
obligations will immediately be due and payable; and (iii) we will
liquidate securities or assets pledged as collateral (without notice
to you) in an amount sufficient to satisfy outstanding obligations.
Edward Jones will act solely in its capacity as a broker-dealer in
connection with any such liquidation, not as an investment
adviser. To learn more about the margin loan offering and its
availability, please contact your financial advisor.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program. If participating in the Dollar Cost
Averaging Program, Edward Jones will periodically purchase or
sell shares of eligible securities on a monthly basis. The price per
share will be the weighted average price per share of all related
trade(s). A separately signed form may be required for
participation in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
In lieu of receiving immediate confirmations for mutual fund
transactions made pursuant to systematic investments or
withdrawals and for dividend and/or capital gain reinvestments
available, Edward Jones may report the details of such
transactions on my account statement.
Systematic Investing in Managed Solutions and Custom
Managed Solutions. Refer to the Investment and Trading
Discretion section for the systematic investing features
associated with the Managed Solutions and Custom Managed
Solutions Strategies.
Edward Jones Reserve Line of Credit for Managed Solutions
and Custom Managed Solutions. Certain IAP non-retirement
Accounts utilizing a Managed Solutions or Custom Managed
Solutions Strategy 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 the 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 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. The Lender at its sole discretion may
Margin Loans for FA Managed and Client Directed. Eligible
non-retirement Account clients utilizing a FA Managed or Client
Directed Strategy may obtain margin loans collateralized by
marginable securities held in their Accounts. Margin loans for
these Accounts may be used for “Personal Line of Credit Loans”
or “Overdraft Coverage,” but may not be used for the purpose of
purchasing securities on credit. When Edward Jones extends a
margin loan to you, it is not acting as an investment adviser but
solely as a broker-dealer. In making the decision to take out a
margin loan, it is important you understand the risks associated
with using margin, the costs of margin loans, and how the
performance of your Account may be negatively affected. Please
see the Edward Jones Margin Disclosure Statement and the
Statement of Credit Terms (the “Margin Disclosure”) for a

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.
(the “Alternative Investment Services Pilot”). The Alternative
Investment Services Pilot is offered and managed by Edward
Jones on a non-discretionary basis. This means that if a portion
of the Custom Managed Solutions Account is invested in
Alternative Investments, that portion will be managed on a
non-discretionary basis. However, the remainder of the Custom
Managed Solutions Account that invests in securities other than
Alternative Investments is managed by Edward Jones, and/or an
Executing SMA Manager, as applicable, on a discretionary basis
as described throughout this Brochure.
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.
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 Account to an investment goal, which
allows a Goal Portfolio Objective to be created. 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 prerequisite to qualifying
for access to the Alternative Investment Services Pilot is that you
must have selected an Account Portfolio Objective 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 Account, please contact your financial
advisor.
Before making the decision to take a Reserve Line Advance, it is
important that 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
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
separate from, and in addition to, the IAP Fee 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 IAP Fee may be greater than the income
generated by your 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. Edward Jones is obligated to adhere to this
order of prioritization, thus Edward Jones will address the
Lender’s interests before your interests, and further, we will
prioritize our interests before your interests.
Advisory Services Provided. Edward Jones will perform the
following in the Alternative Investment Services Pilot:
• Recommending a model that allows 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
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
It is important to note that if you change the Strategy for your
Account to one that cannot hold a Reserve Line balance, you will
be required to satisfy the entirety of the loan balance before
changing Strategies. Additionally, if you terminate your Services
Agreement and do not instruct us to transfer the assets in your
Account to another Edward Jones account that is eligible for the
Reserve Line, the Reserve Line (if any) associated with your
Account will be terminated by 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. Edward Jones will act solely in its
capacity as a broker-dealer in connection with any such
instruction, not as an investment adviser. To learn more about the
Reserve Line offering and its availability, please contact your
financial advisor.

associated with that Alternative Investment, and the Edward
Jones Alternative Investments Client Acknowledgement form
(collectively, the “Alternative Investment Documents”) for your

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.

completed Alternative Investment Documents and the cash
from your Account to fund your Alternative Investment
purchase order.
• Provide you with a pending transaction valuation in your
Account to represent the value of the Alternative Investment
purchase or sale while the trade is processed and until it is
settled. The IAP Fee will be charged on the value of the
pending transaction.
Ineligible Securities. Edward Jones will not accept into your
Account any Alternative Investment that has not been deemed an
eligible investment in IAP. Further, Edward Jones reserves the
right to reject, in its sole discretion, a request to transfer into IAP
an existing Alternative Investment that you purchased outside of
Edward Jones, even if such Alternative Investment has been
identified as an eligible investment within IAP.
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.
Required Eligible Investments Minimum. Edward Jones requires
that you meet a minimum of $300,000 in eligible investments in
your Account as a prerequisite to access the Alternative
Investment Services Pilot prior to an initial Alternative Investment
purchase.
Once you have purchased an Alternative Investment in your
Account, if the value of your eligible investments, excluding your
Alternative Investments, in your Account falls below the requisite
minimum amount, we may, in our discretion, remove your
Account from IAP.
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.
The portion of the IAP 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 IAP Fee, including
how it is calculated, please refer to the “Fees” section.
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.
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
an Alternative Investment purchase into an unaffiliated money
market fund of Edward Jones’ choosing. The IAP Fee will be
charged on the value of the unaffiliated money market position
while you hold that position in your Account.
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. 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 IAP 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.
• Provide you with the applicable documents associated with the
requested Alternative Investment including, but not limited to,

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 IAP or covered by the IAP 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.
With respect to Alternative Investments, this section and any
reference to Alternative Investments throughout this Brochure will

Custody. Assets in your Account are held at Edward Jones as
broker-dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets
in your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties
and responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones, as sub-
custodian.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
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.
• Safekeeping your funds and securities
• Collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales
• Disbursing funds from your Account
You will be automatically enrolled in the Class Action Claim
Filing Service if this service is available for the Strategy you
select for your Account. 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.

Claim Filing Service can be found at edwardjones.com/
accountfeatures.
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 and therefore suppress certain
trade confirmations in our discretionary Strategies if consented to
by the Planning Group in the IAP Authorization and Agreement
Form; however, you will still receive the mutual fund and ETF
fund prospectus and other fund documents, when applicable. If
EJTC is the custodian, the Account statement will be sent by
Edward Jones on behalf of EJTC. Please review your Account
statements carefully and notify us immediately if you detect
an error or a discrepancy.
Check Writing, Debit Card, and Bill Pay Services. If
applicable, check writing, debit card, and bill pay services,
established pursuant to the separate agreements for these
services, are only available in the Client Directed and FA
Managed Strategies. If changing Strategies on your existing
account from Client Directed or FA Managed to Managed
Solutions or Custom Managed Solutions, these services, if
previously requested, will terminate immediately.
Termination of IAP Services. You or Edward Jones may
terminate your participation in IAP or any Account at any time
without any advisory termination fee. While oral instructions to
terminate your participation in IAP or an Account are generally
acceptable, Edward Jones, in our sole discretion, may require
written notice in order to terminate such services.
Upon notice of termination of your participation in IAP or any
Account, 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(s), 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 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.
Class Action Claim Filing Service for FA Managed, Client
Directed, and only Managed Solutions or Custom Managed
Solutions Strategies that utilize SMAs. Edward Jones partners
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.
This service is only available in the FA Managed Strategy, Client
Directed Strategy, and any Managed Solutions or Custom
Managed Solutions Strategies that utilize SMAs. “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 Services Agreement, 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 Services Agreement, 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

PAGE 19 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
For Strategies that utilize SMAs, the 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 Services Agreement is terminated.
Additionally, the Executing SMA 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 believes it is in your best interest to have a longer
liquidation period.
companies to convert the shares to a different share class or
liquidate the shares when transferring mutual funds. When a
mutual fund company offers multiple share class options for a
mutual fund, and you have instructed us to transfer such mutual
fund to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or you fail to
provide instructions and your assets are transferred to a Limited
Services Account, as defined below, then Edward Jones will
determine, in our sole discretion, what share class to convert your
mutual fund holding into when transferring your mutual fund holding
to the Edward Jones Select brokerage account or Limited Services
Account. Mutual fund share class conversions can result in higher
or lower fees and/or expenses than those paid under the previous
share class and liquidations may cause a taxable event.
For Client Directed and FA Managed, if you instruct Edward Jones
to liquidate equity securities in your Account which include
fractional shares, as an accommodation Edward Jones will
purchase such fractional share(s) as principal into its own account
at market value without a mark-up or mark-down. Edward Jones
may make a profit on its inventory due to market movements.
In the event Edward Jones is notified by a receiving firm that a
transfer of securities in your IAP Account is being rejected in part or
whole by such receiving firm, Edward Jones will liquidate the
rejected securities and transfer the cash to such receiving firm.
For Alternative Investment(s), due to potential restrictions on when
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 upon notice of termination.
Bridge Builder Funds are only available to be purchased or held in
Edward Jones’ advisory programs and are not available to be held
or purchased in an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or at
another financial institution. Accordingly, any positions in Bridge
Builder Funds will be liquidated when you move from your Account
to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account or account at
another financial institution. The Money Market Fund is generally
unavailable to be purchased or held outside of Edward Jones’
advisory programs and Limited Services Account (defined below).
Accordingly, in many situations, any position in the Money Market
Fund will be liquidated if you move from your Account to an Edward
Jones Select brokerage account or account at another financial
institution.
Fees
Every Account pays asset-based fees (referred to as your “IAP
Fee”). Your IAP Fee includes a Program Fee, Platform Fee, and
any SMA Manager Fees (if applicable), less any applicable fee
reduction and/or fee offset (as discussed more fully below). In
addition to your IAP Fee, eligible investments, including ETFs,
affiliated mutual funds and unaffiliated mutual funds, and, as
applicable, Alternative Investments, in your Account, have internal
fees and expenses that are described in the fund prospectus and
other fund documents of each fund. These internal fees and
expenses vary depending on the particular eligible investment. If
utilizing SMAs, you are responsible for the cost of commissions or
transaction charges for securities trades directed by Edward Jones
or an Executing SMA Manager 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
Taxable gains, taxable losses, additional fees and expenses such
as 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. If you request
the assets in your Account to be liquidated, proceeds from the sale
of your securities will be available upon settlement of the trades
generated to complete the liquidation. Because bond markets may
be less liquid, these investments, if applicable, 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.
Edward Jones
The Program Fee
Every 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. The Program Fee is
assessed up to a maximum annual fee rate of 1.35%, payable
monthly in arrears.
Upon notice of termination of your participation in IAP or any
Account, the services for the Account will be significantly limited
(“Limited Services Account”) if you fail to instruct Edward Jones as
to the disposition of assets in your 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
Select brokerage accounts. You may request a copy of the
applicable brokerage schedule of fees from your financial advisor
at any time or visit edwardjones.com/accountfees.

excluded from the IAP Fee calculation for a period of time as
determined by Edward Jones.
The Platform Fee
A Platform Fee is charged on Accounts enrolled in IAP for the
support and maintenance of Accounts on the Edward Jones’
investment advisory platform, such as trading and risk tools,
training and education, and ongoing platform development. This
fee is in addition to the Program Fee and SMA Manager Fee(s),
as applicable. The Platform Fee is assessed up to a maximum
annual fee rate of 0.05%, payable monthly in arrears.
Pricing Groups
To determine your IAP Fee, your Account may be grouped with
your other Accounts, other Edward Jones advisory accounts that
are not part of IAP, or the Accounts or other Edward Jones
advisory accounts that are not part of IAP registered to 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. Other members of the Pricing Group will receive the
same disclosure upon request. Your Pricing Group is based on
the following criteria:
How the IAP Fee Is Calculated
The IAP Fee is based on the market value of all assets held in
your Account, including but not limited to (as applicable), stocks,
mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income holdings, cash, cash
equivalents, third-party money market funds, and shares of the
Money Market Fund. Margin loan balances and Reserve Line
Advances, if any, do not reduce the market value of your Account
for the purposes of calculating the IAP Fee. The IAP Fee is
comprised of fees assessed up to the maximum annual fee rates
(shown above), payable monthly in arrears. Accounts with higher
values generally pay lower fee rates than accounts with lower
values. The fees assessed by Edward Jones will reduce your
Account’s overall returns and performance.
1. Your single, joint, custodial, owner-only 401(k) plan and IRA
Accounts are grouped together if they are registered at the
same address and share one or more of the following: (a) the
same last name, (b) the same Social Security number, or (c)
the same Edward Jones Relationship Group. (If you have
worked with your financial advisor to group your Accounts
together for the purpose of sharing financial and nonpublic
personal information in furtherance of planning for financial
goals or investing, that is a Relationship Group. Your
Relationship Group may be the same as your Pricing Group.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any questions
about your Relationship Group.)
The IAP Fee is charged to your Account each month in arrears. If
your Account is open for part of a month, then your IAP Fee will
be based on the number of days your Account was open and able
to be invested. The amount you pay is determined by the average
daily market value of the assets held in your Account for the
previous month.
2. Your revocable trust Accounts are grouped with your single,

as determined in the sole discretion of Edward Jones. However,
certain account types in the Custom Managed Solutions
Strategy (as referred to in Item 5) that do not contain a
minimum initial investment will be charged the IAP Fee on the
market value of any assets held in the Account without having
to meet any funding threshold.
The IAP Fee will continue to be charged on the assets within an
IAP Account upon a Strategy change even if the Account has not
yet been invested into the newly selected Strategy.
Additionally, Accounts that do not meet the above criteria with
your Account, but that meet the above criteria with another
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 IAP Fee may be lower in the following
circumstances:
• Either Edward Jones or your financial advisor negotiates a
lower Program Fee;
• You are an active or eligible retired associate of Edward Jones;
or
Additionally, in coordination with my financial advisor, there may
be instances where trading may not occur immediately after an
Account is opened and able to be invested, such as when
awaiting the transfer of assets or additional funding into the
Account as part of implementing a selected Strategy. In such
instances or other instances meant to provide greater flexibility
around timing of the portfolio construction, you will be charged the
IAP Fee even if the Account has not yet been invested into the
selected Strategy.
• You are a member of an active or eligible retired associate’s
Pricing Group.
For taxable Accounts, the value of any fixed income syndicate
offerings acquired (as applicable) and held in your Account will be

Edward Jones retains sole discretion to reduce the IAP Fee, up to
and including a full waiver, which may result in clients being
charged differently for the same or similar services.
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.
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 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 contains a detailed
discussion of our affiliation with the affiliated mutual funds and an
explanation of the related waiver agreement.
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. When Edward Jones serves as the Affiliated Manager
for affiliated SMAs, there is no SMA Manager Fee charged by us
to you. For the unaffiliated SMAs available in IAP, the Unaffiliated
Managers of these SMAs generally charge an annual SMA
Manager Fee rate that ranges from 0.00% to 0.45%. 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 SMAs. 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 Money Market Fund. Olive Street, and its affiliate, Edward
Jones, receive various revenues related to assets in the Money
Market Fund (collectively, “Money Market Revenue”). Appendix A
includes a detailed discussion of our Money Market Revenue. For
any 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.
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.
How the IAP Fee is Paid
The IAP Fee is deducted directly from your Account and paid
using the available cash portion of the portfolio that you are
invested in, which may include cash or assets invested in the
Money Market Fund. If there is not sufficient cash or assets in the
Money Market Fund, we are authorized to sell a sufficient amount
of other assets (at our discretion) held in your Account to pay the
IAP Fee. 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 or necessitate odd-lot sales.
Odd-lot sales may result in less favorable pricing conditions. At
the sole discretion of Edward Jones, you may be allowed to pay
your IAP Fee from an alternate Edward Jones account.
Fee Reductions
If your 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 IAP. 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 IAP 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
IAP but did not purchase them through Edward Jones, you will not
receive a fee reduction.
For Managed Solutions and Custom Managed Solutions, if
Edward Jones is required to sell assets to pay the IAP Fee, this
may trigger a rebalance of your Account. For all other Strategies,
this may result in your Account being out of alignment with the
Target Ranges and/or with the Investment Diagnostics for your
Account until portfolio alignment occurs.
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.
Shareholder Accounting Revenue: Some mutual fund
companies pay Edward Jones for your Account’s recordkeeping
and administrative services provided by Edward Jones for the
mutual fund companies. This creates a conflict of interest. In order
Internal Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds and
ETFs, Including Redemption Fees
Mutual funds (including affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds)
and ETFs have internal management fees and ongoing expenses
that are deducted from the eligible investment’s assets, which has
the effect of reducing the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Many
mutual funds used in IAP have different share classes with
different fees and expenses. The fund prospectus and other fund
documents will describe the internal fees and expenses. Internal
fees and expenses are in addition to the IAP Fee described above
PAGE 22 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
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.
Account but not yet invested into IAP 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 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.
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).
Details about mutual funds can be found in the fund prospectus
and other fund documents. The fund prospectus and other fund
documents will describe whether the mutual fund has a
redemption fee and whether there are instances when the
redemption fees will be waived. Any internal fees and expenses
charged by a mutual fund or ETF will reduce your Account’s
overall returns and investment performance.
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 Strategy, Account Portfolio Objective, or Goal Portfolio
Objective (if applicable) you select. As a result, your financial
advisor does not have a financial incentive to recommend one
particular Strategy, Account Portfolio Objective, or Goal Portfolio
Objective over another. Your financial advisor also will not receive
a portion of the Platform Fee.
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. 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.
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 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 IAP. This creates a financial
incentive for your financial advisor to recommend IAP instead of
brokerage services.
Other Fees and Expenses Not Included in
the IAP Fee
In addition to the IAP 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 IAP Fee you pay us. You will also pay Edward
Jones interest on margin loans, if applicable, as set forth in the
Margin Disclosure. You may pay for other services including, but
not limited to, debit and check-writing fees, fees to distribute an
Account pursuant to a transfer on death agreement, estate service
fees, an Account transfer fee, and/or termination fee for certain
account types.
Also, the IAP Fee does not cover the following (if applicable to
your Account): transfer taxes; electronic fund, wire and other
Account transfer fees; 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.
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
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, if applicable. 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 Reserve Line Advances
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 Account, we retain the IAP
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. 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 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.

financial services” document found at edwardjones.com/

Additional Disclosure of Services, Fees and Other
Compensation
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure. This Brochure contains
disclosures designed to assist the named fiduciary or other
responsible plan fiduciaries of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA (“Plan”) in determining the reasonableness of the fees and
compensation Edward Jones may receive as a service provider to
the Plan.
IAP is an investment advisory program offered by Edward Jones.
The services provided through IAP are described in Item 4 above
and in Section 1 of the Edward Jones Investment Advisory
Program Client Services Agreement.
For a description of the fees that may be directly charged to the
Plan in connection with IAP, refer to Fees in this Item 4 and the
IAP Schedule of Fees.
Your financial advisor also may receive compensation in
connection with margin loans, if applicable. As a result, if you
would be eligible for margin lending but ineligible for the Reserve
Line, your Financial Advisor will have a financial incentive to
recommend one Strategy over another. If you use margin in your
Account, Edward Jones will receive revenue as a result of
charging interest on your margin loan. Accordingly, there is a
material conflict of interest between you and us in connection with
margin loans, which we address through disclosure in this
Brochure. For example, if you take out or maintain a margin loan
rather than withdraw money from your Account, we retain the IAP
Fee that such assets are otherwise generating and charge you
interest on any outstanding margin loan balances. Depending on
your specific circumstances, including the intended duration of the
margin loan and the return on your Account, over the long term it
may cost you more to take out the margin loan than if you had
pursued an alternative loan option or liquidated securities and
withdrawn the sale proceeds from your Account.
Edward Jones could receive compensation from sources other
than the Plan in connection with services provided. For a
discussion of other potential sources of compensation, see Item 9
below.
Although Edward Jones receives more revenue from a margin
loan than a loan through the Reserve Line, your Financial Advisor
is compensated the same on both types of loans. You are
encouraged to carefully consider the total cost of taking out any
loan, and any additional compensation to us or your Financial
Advisor, when determining to take out and/or maintain a loan.
For a discussion of termination fees that may apply, see
“Termination of IAP Services” and “Other Fees and Expenses Not
Included in the IAP Fee” in this Item 4.
Edward Jones and its affiliates may benefit from other
compensation as described in Item 9B under “Client Referrals and
Other Compensation.”

compensation.
The Program Fee, as well as assets under care, Reserve Line
Advance balances and/or client margin loan 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 IAP.
Most financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward
Jones Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which
includes domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu
of a trip. Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon the
amount of new and existing assets under care of a financial
advisor which creates an additional conflict of interest.
Portfolio Strategy Representative Compensation
Portfolio Strategy representatives receive a salary. Additionally,
these individuals receive periodic bonuses that take into account
various metrics including financial metrics such as the number of
clients enrolled in the Edward Jones Generations service
(“Generations”) and the amount you invest at Edward Jones,
including IAP, but the compensation does not differ based on the
type of product or service purchased through Generations.
Additionally, Portfolio Strategy representatives receive firm
profit-sharing distributions.
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

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 connection with such transactions and will sell those
securities at no commission. The proceeds will be invested in the

described above under “The Program Fee” and the Platform Fee
is a fee for platform support services as described above under
“The Platform Fee”. IAP may cost you more or less 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. You can choose to forgo the services of IAP
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”).
Additional copies are available from your financial advisor upon
request and our CRS is available at www.edwardjones.com/

Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of
Clients
Your initial investment in an Account must generally be as follows:
• The Managed Solutions Strategy minimum is generally
$25,000.
• The Custom Managed Solutions Strategy minimum is generally
$5,000. Certain account types, in Edward Jones sole discretion,
as well as Edward Jones associates, their spouses and
dependent children, may add this Strategy without a minimum
initial investment.
For all other Account types or taxable Accounts, if you initially
transfer securities into your Account and those securities are
eligible investments, you authorize and direct Edward Jones to:
(a) convert some or all shares of current eligible investments to a
different share class used in IAP, 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 Strategy at the time of the transfer. Any securities you
transfer into your Account that are not eligible investments will be
liquidated and the proceeds invested as described above.
Additionally, Edward Jones retains the right to reject the transfer
of Alternative Investments into Custom Managed Solutions
Accounts even if they are eligible investments.
• Custom Managed Solution accounts seeking to invest in
Alternative Investments will require an account value of at least
$300,000 or higher at our sole discretion and must meet
minimums and other requirements per the offering documents
of each unique Alternative Investment.
• If adding SMAs to your Managed Solutions or Custom Managed
Solutions Account, you must meet the SMA manager minimum
for your allocated position ($50,000 or more depending on the
SMA) and your portfolio must also be within other portfolio
diagnostic guardrails set by Edward Jones. This limitation may
prevent you from utilizing SMAs if you want to select an Account
Portfolio Objective that does not meet Edward Jones required
portfolio diagnostics with a single SMA strategy.
• The Client Directed Strategy minimum is generally $25,000.
• The FA Managed Strategy minimum is generally $25,000.
Edward Jones offers clients a wide range of financial services.
IAP may not be appropriate for every client or every account type.
Generally, IAP 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; Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (“SIMPLE”)
IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (“SEP”) IRAs, traditional IRAs
linked to an Edward Jones SEP IRA and other eligible benefit
plans (each a “Benefit Plan”). Benefit Plans generally include
pension or other employee benefit plans governed by ERISA,
tax-qualified retirement plans (including a Keogh plans, Edward
Jones-sponsored Owner K® plans or “single owner 401(k)” plans
in which the only eligible plan participants are the business owner
and/or his or her spouse) under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Not all Benefit
Plans may be eligible for enrollment. Check with your financial
advisor to determine eligibility.
The total value of your Account is monitored by Edward Jones. If
the value of your Account falls below the initial investment
minimum, we may, in our discretion, remove your Account from
IAP.
Edward Jones can prohibit any person or entity from investing or
remaining in IAP for any reason, including if we do not believe it is
an appropriate Strategy for that person or entity.
You may add or withdraw funds from your Account upon request.

manner that attempts to minimize variations in the asset allocation
and target weightings within your Account but may result in tax
consequences.
Custom Managed Solutions. In consultation with your Edward
Jones financial advisor, you can choose your portfolio preferences
and/or the initial investments in your portfolio from our list of
eligible investments. Your financial advisor and/or Edward Jones
will monitor and rebalance your Account, and take action as
needed to bring your Account into alignment with your Account
Portfolio Objective.
If after your Account is opened 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 IAP, these shares will be liquidated upon transfer into your
Account and the funds invested in accordance with your Strategy.
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.
FA Managed. Your financial advisor will exercise discretion to
select investments for your Account. Other financial advisors and
Edward Jones licensed personnel may act on behalf of your
financial advisor. As of the date of this Brochure, your financial
advisor must meet training requirements as well as certain
minimum tenure, experience and/or educational certification
eligibility requirements established by Edward Jones to provide
discretionary investment management services under FA
Managed. Your financial advisor’s eligibility to continue providing
discretionary investment management services under FA
Managed is subject to ongoing reviews. Edward Jones may
modify or eliminate the applicable eligibility criteria at any time and
without notice to you. Additionally, other financial advisors and
Edward Jones personnel may assist your financial advisor in
providing the management services to you and are not required to
meet the eligibility requirements.
If you request a transfer of securities from your 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 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
could result in higher fees and expenses and negatively affect
investment performance and liquidations may cause a taxable
event.
Client Directed. No third-party investment advisers, no related
persons or Edward Jones-supervised persons serve as portfolio
managers in Client Directed. In consultation with your Edward
Jones financial advisor, you will select your eligible investments
for your Account. Your financial advisor and/or Edward Jones will
monitor your Account and notify you when your Account requires
alignment.
Mutual fund shares held in your 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 IAP 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 IAP.
Assets in your Account will not be used to pay any adjustment(s)
that apply in the event you fail to satisfy the LOI.
Managed Solutions and Custom Managed Solutions with SMAs. If
utilizing SMAs, all eligible investments are selected by Edward
Jones based on a process tailored to the type of investment
(affiliated SMAs, unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual funds,
unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs). Only certain SMAs offered by
SMA Managers are available in IAP.
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 your Account to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account
or account at another financial institution. Similarly, any position in
the Money Market Fund will generally be liquidated if you move
from your Account or Limited Services 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.
Certain eligible investments may contain additional minimums
beyond the Strategy minimum. We can change the minimum at
our discretion.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection
and Evaluation
Selection and Evaluation of Portfolio Managers and/or their
Associated Eligible Investments. Edward Jones performs due
diligence on portfolio managers, including the portfolio managers
of affiliated SMAs, unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual funds,
unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs, and Alternative Investments to
select and evaluate eligible investments for the applicable
Strategies in IAP. The eligible investments selected and evaluated
by Edward Jones are based on a process tailored to the type of
investment (affiliated SMAs, unaffiliated SMAs, affiliated mutual
funds, unaffiliated mutual funds or ETFs). Eligible investments
selected for IAP 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.
For affiliated SMAs and affiliated mutual funds, Edward Jones
uses a review process that is different from the other eligible
IAP is a wrap fee program with options to choose discretionary
and non-discretionary Strategies sponsored by Edward Jones.

Jones if you want to transfer the impacted Alternative Investment
to an Edward Jones Select brokerage account, which allows
Alternative Investments transferred from an IAP Account to be
held in this Select brokerage account as a hold-eligible

Alternative Investment, you will have up to two (2) trading
windows to complete such transfer(s) or sale(s).
investments that are unaffiliated with Edward Jones when
selecting and monitoring the inclusion of these affiliated
investments in IAP 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.
Once Edward Jones determines an Alternative Investment is to be
removed from IAP 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 of your IAP Fee, you
will receive a subsequent credit for any IAP Fee that was charged
to your Account for holding this removed Alternative Investment
while it remains in your Account.
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
transfer your entire Account to a Limited Services Account.
For unaffiliated investments deemed an eligible investment in IAP,
Edward Jones uses a review process that starts with an
evaluation of the unaffiliated investments’ manager (the
“Unaffiliated Manager”) and/or their product(s) we seek to add to
IAP. 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.

This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
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.
Edward Jones selects the eligible investments available in IAP
and each individual Strategy based on numerous quantitative and
qualitative 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 and SMAs are different from the processes we apply to
unaffiliated mutual funds and other eligible investments.
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.
Removal of Portfolio Managers and/or their Associated
Eligible Investments. Edward Jones may remove any eligible
investment offered by an Unaffiliated Manager and their entire set
of associated eligible investments from IAP 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:
• Key personnel changes;
• Deviations from its investment philosophy or mandate;
• Legal or regulatory concerns;
• Poor performance when compared to similar managers over a
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.
market cycle; or
• Investment risk that has become misaligned to Edward Jones’
investment philosophy.
Eligible investments (other than affiliated mutual funds) undergo
periodic review by Edward Jones to determine if they remain
suitable for IAP. An eligible investment can be re-categorized to an
ineligible investment for a variety of reasons, including, but not
limited to, the following:
Alternative Investments Transition. Edward Jones will notify
you if an Alternative Investment you hold has been removed from
IAP as an eligible investment. You will need to instruct Edward

change in Edward Jones’ guidance and/or outlook
• An alternate eligible investment that has been identified within

over time. There is no guarantee that this goal will be achieved.

the same Asset Allocation Category
• Other security specific reasons such as regulatory concerns,
termination of an agreement with a mutual fund company, lack
of ongoing financial information, a decision to reduce the overall
ownership level of a fund, or a significant change to a fund’s
investment team or shift in the fund’s investment process or
stated invested style
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.
There is no guarantee that an eligible investment will perform in
any particular manner. 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 IAP.
Affiliated mutual funds generally will not be removed from the list
of eligible investments. However, as multi-manager funds, the
above events may cause the affiliated investment adviser to select
a replacement sub-adviser, subject to the terms and conditions of
the fund prospectus and other fund documents. 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.
Edward Jones can place an eligible investment (other than an
affiliated mutual fund or SMA) 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:
Additionally, your Account may also invest in certain investments
that employ non-traditional trading strategies. Such investments
may hold non-traditional investments or use complex investment
and trading strategies. Investments that utilize derivatives or
leverage, as an example, can be complex and increase the risk of
volatility and loss of investment. Other potential risks may include,
but are not limited to: the investment performs in a manner that is
difficult to understand relative to traditional investments; lack of
liquidity; credit risk; counterparty risk; and adverse tax
consequences. Such investments contain unique characteristics
and risks. Refer, as applicable, to the fund prospectus and other
fund documents that describe risks specific to each fund.
Information about each eligible investment can be obtained from
your financial advisor.
(1) keep the eligible investment on the list of eligible investments,
or (2) render the investment an ineligible investment. 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.
Target allocations for each Account are established within the
asset allocation ranges set by us. Eligible investments are chosen
to represent the Asset Allocation Categories and investment styles
within each Account. In the case of the affiliated mutual funds,
sub-advisers are chosen based on due diligence. The overall
asset allocation and target weightings within each Account are
monitored for changes to the eligible investments or sub-advisers
as deemed necessary.
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.
Depending on the available eligible investments selected for a
given Strategy, your Account may also be subject to the following
risks:
Concentration Risk. An Account with a limited number of eligible
investments may experience more volatility than a more
diversified Account with a larger number of eligible investments.
The Target Ranges for each Account Portfolio Objective are
generally based on the Edward Jones Asset Allocation
Categories. Depending on market volatility, the asset allocations
in your Account will sometimes depart from the Target Ranges for
your Account Portfolio Objective. Different asset classes will
perform better than others, resulting in an asset allocation that
may have more or less risk than you may want. Your Account will
generally need to be realigned if it has deviated too far from the
Target Ranges or Investment Diagnostics for your Account
Portfolio Objective. The objective of investing in a variety of
eligible investments in various types of asset classes allocated in
the Target Ranges is to construct a portfolio designed to
Mutual Funds Risk. Mutual funds are diversified, professionally
managed portfolios of securities that pool the assets of individuals
PAGE 28 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

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 minimize potential
adverse impact to your Account, but there is no assurance that
you will be able to avoid the risk of loss and other adverse
consequences.
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. The value 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.
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.
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.
Details about the ETFs in your Account and associated risks can
be found in the fund prospectus and other fund documents. It is
important that you read these documents before investing.
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
associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
Share Classes. Mutual funds used in IAP 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 IAP, 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. Edward Jones
generally attempts to select institutional and/or advisory share
classes for IAP, 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. 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 Class A shares are selected in IAP, 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. Details about the mutual funds in your Account and
their specific risks can be found in the Fund prospectus and other
fund documents. It is important that you read these documents
before investing. Please also refer to these documents regarding
the available share classes of mutual funds used in IAP. In our
sole discretion, Edward Jones can change the share class of any
mutual fund at any time without prior notice to you.
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).
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.
Certificate of Deposit (CD) Risk. The price of a CD in the
Redemptions. 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, re-categorizes a mutual fund from an eligible investment
to an ineligible investment. If the resulting volume or size of
redemptions required to be effectuated as a result of the re-
categorization 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

currently hold at Edward Jones, as well as Alternative Investments
you hold outside of Edward Jones.
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.
secondary market is governed by prevailing interest rates. If a CD
is sold before it matures, you may receive less than the original
purchase price if interest rates are higher. Edward Jones, though
not obligated to do so, may maintain a secondary market in the
CD after the purchase which allows CDs to be sold on any
business day. Rates paid on CDs may be lower or higher than the
rates available directly through the bank that is issuing the CD.
You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of CDs and
other bank deposits that you hold with any one bank for Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits.
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 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 for 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.
Limited Liquidity and Redemption. The Alternative Investments
available in IAP 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 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 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
Multi-Year Transition Service Risks. Enrolling in the Multi-Year
Transition Service gives rise to additional risks and limitations that
would not otherwise exist if you did not use the Multi-Year
Transition Service, including: By not promptly selling and
reinvesting your Participating Assets at funding, your investment
allocation, risk exposure (e.g., volatility) and account performance
during the Transition Period will differ from your Target Portfolio.
The delayed sale of such assets creates risks during the
Transition Period of misalignment of your Account with the target
PAGE 30 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

asset allocation as well as increased tracking error and volatility.
adverse effect on investment performance and result in adverse
tax consequences.
There is no guarantee by participating in the Multi-Year Transition
Service that you will benefit as anticipated from this service,
including, but not limited to, the potential benefits of spreading
capital gains over multiple tax years.
Funding your Account with Participating Assets that are sold on a
delayed basis through the Multi-Year Transition Service can result
in your Account being invested in a concentrated number or type
of securities during the Transition Period. If your Account is
invested in a concentrated number of securities, a decline in the
value of these securities would cause the value of your Account to
decline to a greater degree than that of a less concentrated
portfolio.
The use of a Transition Period to transition assets to your Target
Portfolio can result in your Account not receiving the benefit of
rebalancing, tax loss harvesting, and/or other services set forth
throughout the Brochure at the same time intervals that would
have been effected if your Participating Assets had been sold and
reinvested promptly after funding.
By delaying the sale of Participating Assets through use of the
Multi-Year Transition Service, Edward Jones will not be able to
manage tracking error to the same extent that the sale of
Participating Assets and prompt alignment with your Target
Portfolio would permit. As a result, volatility in your Account can
be higher than if the Transition Service was not used.
Any tax benefits resulting from the Multi-Year Transition Service
can be exceeded or outweighed by investment losses and/or
missed gains (realized and unrealized) that result from a delayed
move to your Target Portfolio.
The timing of the sale of Participating Assets from your Account
can be impacted by market conditions.
In certain markets the growth of your portfolio can cause gains in
excess of those in existence at the beginning of the Transition
Period and therefore gains realized over the course of the
Transition Period can exceed the total gains that existed at the
beginning of the Transition Period or the total gains anticipated at
the beginning of the Transition Period. For example, if the price of
one or more Participating Assets increases, particularly those
already at outsized positions relative to the target asset allocation
for your Account and/or at the outset of the Transition Period, the
gains realized will likely exceed your gains that were present at
the outset of the transition. Conversely, declines in the price of
one or more Participating Assets can result in the sale of the
Participating Assets in less time than originally planned (e.g., over
fewer tax periods than intended).
Changes to your Target Portfolio, withdrawals you make from your
Account, market movement, changes to your Account Portfolio
Objective, and/or depositing new securities into your Account,
amongst other things, can impact the ability of the Multi-Year
Transition Service to transition your assets in alignment with your
initial Transition Plan and can require a reassessment of your
Transition Plan to determine feasibility of transitioning the
remaining assets.
In the event you seek to withdraw funds from your Account during
the Transition Period, depending on the size of the withdrawal,
capital gains can be realized to a degree that reduces the ability
to spread capital gains over multiple tax years.
The methods, processes, quantitative tools, and algorithms used
by Edward Jones to perform the Multi-Year Transition Service can
perform differently than expected due to errors, flaws, or being
incomplete if such issues are not identified. This can have an
Reserve Line Risk. Our financial advisors provide information
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 IAP 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, the 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 Account Portfolio Objective and result in other
securities being sold to bring your Account back into alignment
with your 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
the 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 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
PAGE 31 OF 39 IAS-19127A-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
and our role as an investment adviser to your Account; (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; and (xv) adverse impacts to the
maintenance ratios for pledged collateral if your portfolio changes
due to a change in Strategy or holdings. 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.
Harvestable Security will settle at a loss. Factors, including but not
limited to, market volatility and/or movement or an adjusted cost
basis at trade settlement, can result in the Harvestable Security
settling at no loss or at a gain to you. Losses carried forward from
a tax year come with the possibility that they may not be used
efficiently or at all in future years, thereby decreasing or
eliminating the value of the TLH service with respect to such
carried forward losses. Edward Jones is not providing tax advice
by offering the TLH service and assumes no responsibility for any
tax consequences associated with the TLH service.
The client’s use of Edward Jones’ TLH service is subject to
current tax provisions. These provisions are complex, and
interpretation and enforceability thereof may change and render
the TLH service ineffective and may pose additional unforeseen
risks to the client. It is important to note that consequences of
enrolling in the TLH service are complex, uncertain and may be
challenged by the IRS or any other tax authority resulting in
adverse tax consequences.
In addition, there may be potential tax considerations and
consequences relating to state or local tax, federal tax rules
applicable to entities, estate taxes, or gift taxes implicated when
utilizing the TLH service. For these reasons, you should discuss
such risks and responsibilities with your tax and/or legal
professional(s) before electing the TLH service.
Suitability. The TLH service may not be suitable or desirable for all
clients, and each client must determine whether use of the TLH
service is appropriate after considering all pertinent factors,
including but not limited to, the client’s current and future tax
profile, investment activity and objectives, the number and type of
investment accounts, planned future activity such as anticipated
withdrawals, holding periods, state of residence, and personal
circumstances. Clients maintain the sole responsibility for
determining the appropriateness and benefit of the TLH service
notwithstanding any advice or guidance from Edward Jones or its
financial advisors. As noted above, there is no guarantee that the
TLH service will reduce, defer, or eliminate taxes.
Margin Risk. Our financial advisors provide information and
education regarding the availability of margin loans. However, you
decide whether to borrow money from us and you decide when
and how to pay back any loans. There are certain risks and
conflicts of interest that arise when we make margin loans in our
role as lender and broker-dealer rather than investment adviser,
including (i) the interest rate charged in connection with your loan
may be higher than those charged by other lenders and is in
addition to the IAP Fee; (ii) we may require additional collateral if
there is a decline in the market value of the securities that secure
your margin loan; (iii) we can sell any securities in your Account to
satisfy a margin call without notice to you; (iv) we may be required
to liquidate securities we would otherwise not recommend you
sell, and which may not otherwise be in your best interests to sell,
to satisfy a margin call; (v) you are not entitled to select which
securities are liquidated to satisfy a margin call and we can sell
securities that you wish to retain or that have a low tax basis
without regard to your wishes or any adverse tax consequences
of a sale; (vi) depending on market conditions, the prices obtained
for the securities may be less than favorable and may be less than
the value that we or you believe the securities are worth; (vii) the
timing of securities sales in connection with a margin call will be
different than if those securities were not used as collateral in
connection with a margin loan, and may negatively impact the
performance of your Account and interrupt your investment
strategy; (viii) a situation could arise where the value of your
Account is zero and you still owe money on a loan; (ix) adverse
impacts to the maintenance ratios for pledged collateral if your
portfolio changes due to a change in Strategy or holdings; and (x)
with respect to the margin loan and collateral, we will act in the
capacity of a lender and may take the actions described above,
which may be in conflict with your best interest and our role as an
investment adviser to your Account. Any action taken by us
against the securities in your Account pursuant to the use of
margin will not constitute a breach of our fiduciary duties as an
investment adviser.
Tax-Loss Harvesting Risks. Tax-loss harvesting involves unique
risks and, if this service is available for your selected Strategy to
add to your Account, you should carefully consider whether such
risks are right for your individual situation before participating in
the TLH service. Some material risks of participating in the TLH
service include, but are not limited to, the following:
Wash Sales Limitations. Pursuant to the Wash Sales rule, a
taxpayer cannot deduct any loss on the sale or other disposition
of an investment if the taxpayer (or a related party) acquires a
substantially identical security (“Wash Sale”) within a 30-day
period before and 30-day period after the date of such sale
(“Wash Sale Period”). If a Wash Sale occurs on the sale of a loss
security, the loss is deferred such that the client cannot currently
use the loss to offset gains or in certain cases reduce taxable
income. If you acquire substantially identical replacement shares,
the loss would be deferred or, in some cases, disallowed entirely.
Specifically, a taxpayer cannot avoid the Wash Sales rule by
selling an investment at a loss in a taxable Account and then
buying it back in a tax-advantaged Account. Also, the IRS takes
the position that a security sold by one spouse at a loss and
purchased within the Wash Sale Period by the other spouse is a
Wash Sale.
Edward Jones will typically sell the Replacement Security, and
then reinvest proceeds from the Replacement Security back into
Taxes. There is no guarantee that the TLH service will reduce,
defer or eliminate your tax liability in any given tax year.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that an investment sold as a

the underlying security.
ESG Dilution. If you have selected mutual funds and ETFs that
use ESG or values-based strategies, electing the TLH service
may cause those ESG holdings to be diluted or sold.
the Account in accordance with the client’s selected Account
Portfolio Objective after a 31-day period. However, Edward Jones
cannot guarantee that Wash Sales will not occur in a client’s
Eligible TLH Account(s). For example, if securities need to be sold
during the Wash Sale Period to provide funds for a withdrawal,
those sales will take place even if they will result in a Wash Sale.
Similarly, any sales or purchases of the Harvestable Security
during the Wash Sale Period (for example, in connection with a
rebalancing event or a dividend reinvestment) may also cause a
Wash Sale. Both scenarios affect whether a loss that is harvested
in the Eligible TLH Account will benefit the client. Any deposits,
including interest, received in the client’s Account during the Wash
Sale Period will be invested into the Account’s eligible investments
in accordance with the client’s selected Account Portfolio
Objective.
Overlay Management Tax-Efficient Management Risk. When
managing taxable Accounts in a tax-efficient manner, Edward
Jones relies on various assumptions about the tax posture of a
typical investor. Those assumptions may not correspond to your
actual situation. In addition, Edward Jones 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 IAP 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.
Edward Jones will not monitor for Wash Sales across a client’s
Eligible TLH Accounts, non-Eligible TLH Accounts, in other
investment advisory or brokerage accounts held at Edward Jones
or another financial institution. It is the client’s sole responsibility
to monitor and report Wash Sales in accordance with current tax
provisions across all accounts held at Edward Jones and other
financial institutions.
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 Edward Jones sells that same
security. In that case, the loss may be deferred or disallowed.
Edward Jones does not provide any assurances that Wash Sales
will not occur. In some cases, Edward Jones 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.
In addition, state and local tax laws may differ from federal law in
material ways. There is limited guidance governing whether an
ETF is “substantially identical” to another ETF, or whether a
mutual fund is “substantially identical” to another mutual fund for
purposes of the Wash Sales rule. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance regarding how the IRS would view the exchange of one
fund for another. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to accurately
report on your tax return your capital gains and losses realized
during the year and Wash Sales occurring across all accounts
held at Edward Jones and other financial institutions.
The effectiveness of tax-efficient management, 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 Edward Jones Overlay Management
Services Form ADV brochure available at www.edwardjones.com/
advisory-prospectus/brochures.html.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
a variety of protections designed to protect against damage or
interruption from computer viruses, network and computer failures
and cyber-attacks. Despite such protections, systems, networks
and devices potentially can be breached. Cyber-attacks 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
Trading and Performance. When we identify a Harvestable
Security for sale pursuant to the TLH service, we expect the
Replacement Security to have similar performance and risk
exposure as the Harvestable Security. However, a Replacement
Security can vary in performance and risk exposure from the
Harvestable Security. As a result, we cannot make any
guarantees regarding the actual performance of the Replacement
Security or its impact on your portfolio for a given Strategy. For
example, a new ETF (Replacement Security) may perform better
or worse than the original ETF (Harvestable Security) that was
sold for tax-loss harvesting purposes. Additionally, use of the TLH
service will likely result in more frequent trading and the
Replacement Security may have higher internal management fees
and ongoing expenses. Accordingly, the risk and return of any
Replacement Security cannot be guaranteed and may result in
additional losses. In limited instances, due to market movement,
the security identified to be sold for a loss will be sold at a gain.
The sale of a Replacement Security with a capital gain will result
in either a reduction of the capital loss from the sale of the
Harvestable Security or, in certain circumstances, a net capital
gain. The use of the TLH service may also cause certain
dividends that would otherwise qualify for the reduced rates on
qualified dividend income to not qualify due to a failure by the

information, you can receive a copy of proxy-related materials,
Edward Jones’ proxy voting policy and procedures, voting
guidelines and/or proxy voting record by submitting a written request
to: Edward Jones, Attention: Investment Advisory,12555 Manchester
Road, St. Louis, MO 63131.
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.
If you want to retain your right to vote proxies, you must inform
Edward Jones that we are not to vote on your behalf. Benefit Plan
Accounts, for which we will not vote proxies, and those clients
who wish to retain their right to vote proxies will then continue to
receive all materials and notices from Edward Jones or the
applicable mutual fund company or issuer and will be responsible
for voting on the issues that the companies raise. We will not
provide recommendations or advice on how to vote on these
issues.
Tailoring Advisory Services to Clients
See Item 4 above for a description of how we tailor our advisory
services to you and how you can impose reasonable restrictions
on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Wrap Fee Programs
We act as the wrap fee program sponsor for all Accounts and
Strategies. We are also the portfolio manager for the Managed
Solutions Strategy. Your financial advisor (and Edward Jones as
needed) is the portfolio manager for FA Managed. We receive the
IAP Fee as described in Item 4. We also act as an investment
adviser in other advisory programs for which we provide different
services. Additional information is available at www.edwardjones.

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. 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.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to
Portfolio Managers
Client information provided to Edward Jones, a portfolio manager
in IAP, will be maintained in accordance with our privacy policies.
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 9B below.
Voting Client Securities
All Strategies (Client Directed, FA Managed, Managed Solutions,
and Custom Managed Solutions). As a registered investment
adviser, Edward Jones may vote proxies for clients in accordance
with applicable law and has a fiduciary duty to vote those proxies
in a timely and uniform manner and in our clients’ best interests,
even if our clients’ best interest is in conflict with our interests.
Edward Jones votes eligible investment proxies (except SEP and
SIMPLE IRAs, traditional IRAs linked to SEP IRAs and Benefit
Plan Accounts as applicable) unless the client specifically retains
the right to vote proxies. If you transfer non-eligible investments to
open or fund an Account, Edward Jones may also vote proxies for
those securities if the date of record occurs before the securities
are liquidated.
Additionally, if utilizing SMAs in a Managed Solutions or Custom
Managed Solutions Strategy, we will provide client information to
Executing SMA Managers who are authorized to execute
transactions to the extent necessary for the Executing SMA
Managers to manage the Account (or any portion thereof). This
includes providing updated investment objective information to the
applicable Executing SMA Manager(s). Edward Jones does not
provide client information to Unaffiliated Managers who are not
authorized to execute transactions for the Account. 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 IAP.
When you invest in one of these Strategies, you delegate the right
to vote on these securities to Edward Jones and cannot direct or
recommend how we will vote. By delegating proxy authority, you
also authorize us to receive all proxy-related materials, annual
and semi-annual reports, and other shareholder materials,
including corporate actions, arising from any eligible investments
or other securities in the 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 and
selected Strategies, including questions regarding an SMA or
Alternative Investment. You cannot directly contact the SMA
Managers, unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs, the subadvisers of the

service to assist us in evaluating and voting proxies in a way that
follows our adopted policies and guidelines. We have established
policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that proxies
are voted in a manner that is consistent with our clients’ best
interest. Further, certain independent shareholder rights available
to you as an individual may not be exercised or effectuated when

an Alternative Investment. If you have a complex or non-routine
question, Edward Jones will communicate with these third-party
providers.
Item 9: Additional Information
A. Disciplinary Information and Other Financial
Industry Activities and Affiliations
Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January 2015
through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least one
employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S.
§1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without admitting or denying the findings in the
Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
Disciplinary Information
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available on
the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement with
the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide investigation
into the preservation of electronic communications pursuant to
applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Section
204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and
supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Exchange Act
and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and applicable rules
thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with the SEC’s
investigation and has enhanced its policies and procedures
concerning the use of approved communication methods. The
settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and censure,
requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty of $50
million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with undertakings
including the retention of an independent compliance consultant
to assess the firm’s policies and systems regarding electronic
communications recordkeeping and assist Edward Jones in
further enhancing those policies and systems.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports
that were misleading. FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had
made changes to enhance its supervisory processes. As part of
the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of
$725,000.
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.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation. On
December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely, and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records and
(2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records during
the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal controls
reasonably designed to address and remediate the issues
identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.

January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania
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 IAP, including the execution of brokerage transactions
(e.g., the purchase or sale of securities or insurance products),

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 IAP and other Edward Jones programs. For
additional information about this arrangement, please see Item 4.
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.
Edward Jones owns directly or indirectly 100% of three insurance
agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance Agency
of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited liability
company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of California,
L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
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.
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 or are available as eligible
investments in IAP. 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
considering revenue sharing from existing business relationships
when selecting eligible investments and/or sub-advisers.
B. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading;
Review of Accounts; Client Referrals and
Other Compensation; and Financial
Information
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.
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
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
IAP Accounts. Edward Jones and our financial advisors also
receive compensation for services and recommendations that
may differ from advice given to you while participating in IAP.
• Place your and all of our clients’ interests first
• Conduct personal trading in compliance with our Code of

• Comply with all applicable rules, regulations and laws
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.
• Do not use any material nonpublic information they may receive
as a result of their employment with Edward Jones
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.

Canada), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of JFC, is a

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
allocations. 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

period, including all transactions, contributions, withdrawals, fees
and the value of your Account at the beginning and end of the
period.
Our review does not substitute for your own continued review and
monitoring of your Account and performance of your investments.
You should review performance reports and trade confirmations
(as applicable), Account statements, and other information we
provide 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.
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 IAP buy securities that are also eligible
investments in IAP. These brokerage activities are done in the
regular course of our 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.
At least annually, you and your financial advisor should discuss
any changes to your financial situation, including, but not limited
to, your risk tolerance, Account Portfolio Objective, Goal Portfolio
Objective (if applicable), and whether you would like to impose
any reasonable investment restrictions on your Account. If you
decide to pursue a different Account Portfolio Objective, your
Account will be reviewed for realignment to match your new
Account Portfolio Objective. If utilizing SMAs, the review will help
determine if your Asset Allocation Category and/or eligible
investment weightings and/or SMA Manager selections need to be
modified.
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones associates
(including those directly involved with IAP) and/or their family
members are permitted to and do invest in IAP. 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 IAP) and/or their family
members are aggregated along with other trades, which may
include trades for your Account.
For the Client Directed Strategy, you will need to work with your
financial advisor to determine what adjustments are needed to
bring your Account back into alignment. In the event that you do
not provide instructions to bring your Account back into alignment
within a time period determined by Edward Jones, your Account
will be removed from IAP.
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.
Review of Accounts
At the time your Account is opened, Edward Jones’ supervisory
associates will review your selected Account Portfolio Objective to
confirm it is appropriate based on considerations such as your net
worth, risk tolerance, time horizon and/or Goal Portfolio Objective
(if applicable). The funding of your 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 IAP, including
the fees and expenses you are or will be paying.
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 IAP 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.
While you are invested in IAP, we provide ongoing monitoring,
including an annual review. The Asset Allocation Category and
eligible investment weightings established for your Account
Portfolio Objective are monitored and reviewed to determine
realignment needs according to Edward Jones’ guidelines.
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
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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones 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 can influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
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.
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)
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 also
participate in conferences or other marketing activities with
Edward Jones and 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 the 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 investments to
suggest to you.

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund and Mutual Funds
For any 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 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 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.

Item 4: Advisory Business
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.
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 the Edward Jones
Overlay Management Services, a discretionary overlay portfolio
management service that Edward Jones provides exclusively to
its qualifying advisory programs (overall referred to as the
“Overlay Management Services”). When providing the Overlay
Management Services, Edward Jones is acting in the capacity of
an overlay manager.
As described above, the Overlay Management Services are
provided on a discretionary basis to the Advisory Program
Sponsors. For the Edward Jones Advisory Programs and our
Other Advisory Programs collectively, as of December 31, 2025,
Edward Jones managed $494,281,232,605 in discretionary
assets and $578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary assets.
In general, the Overlay Management Services include, but are
not limited to, portfolio implementation and construction, time and
price discretion, rebalancing your account, tax management and
multi-year transition services and implementing reasonable
restrictions imposed by you, which are designed to meet the
specific portfolio management needs of clients.
Overlay Management Services. Edward Jones has investment
and trading discretion over your account when providing the
Overlay Management Services to you. The discretionary
investment and trading authority you give to Edward Jones to
manage your assets 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 instructions by SMA Managers;
• Placing orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities in
accordance with the model portfolio recommendations of the
SMA Managers and/or communicating the orders for the
purchase and/or sale of securities through Edward Jones’
broker-dealer or 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);
The Overlay Management Services are provided to and
sponsored by the wrap-fee advisory programs of Edward Jones
Advisory Solutions® Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) Models
(the “Edward Jones UMA Program”) and Edward Jones
Investment Advisory Program (“IAP”) (collectively, the “Advisory
Program Sponsors”). If you decide to invest in the Edward Jones
UMA Program or IAP, your advisory relationship does not begin
until (a) Edward Jones accepts and approves the written Client
Services Agreement (“CSA”) with you, which occurs on the date
of the approval of Edward Jones, and (b) funding of the account
at the initial minimum investment as determined by Edward
Jones. For more information on the Edward Jones UMA Program
or IAP, including the investment strategies and services offered
through these advisory programs, please ask your financial
advisor or go to www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures.
• Aggregate orders for the purchase and/or sale of securities;
• Placing orders for the purchase, sale or redemption of shares
of mutual funds and/or ETFs in accordance with the
parameters set by Advisory Program Sponsors or as instructed
by you;
• Rebalancing one or more Asset Allocation Categories (i.e.,
The Advisory Program Sponsors determine what investments are
available for investing purposes in their respective advisory
programs (the “Program Eligible Investments”), as well as what
investment strategies or models are available to clients to
establish within their accounts. The Overlay Management
Services will implement the model you have selected, which
includes implementing the investment recommendations provided
by separately managed accounts (“SMA”) managers (“SMA
Managers”) through a model portfolio. When providing the
Overlay Management Services to you, Edward Jones has
discretion to invest in investments that are not otherwise
available through Edward Jones’ broker-dealer.
Program Eligible Investments that Edward Jones has
categorized by investment style) or Program Eligible
Investments within your account back toward their respective
targets if, pursuant to parameters determined in the sole
discretion of Edward Jones, the weighting of the Asset
Allocation Category or Program Eligible Investment has
deviated too far from its target;
• Adding and removing an Asset Allocation Category pursuant to
investment guidelines set by the Advisory Program Sponsors,
which could result in the purchase of Program Eligible
Investments to fill the newly added Asset Allocation Category,
or sale of a Program Eligible Investment to support the removal
of an Asset Allocation Category;
• Monitoring and maintaining the required cash thresholds set by
Edward Jones offers other investment advisory services (“Other
Advisory Programs”), as well as separate brokerage services.
Such Other Advisory Programs, or brokerage services, are not
described in this brochure. Certain programs or offerings are only
available through select financial advisors. To learn more about

advisory programs.

strategies, we will apply the excess cash into the investments
held within the SMA strategy.
harvesting that takes place, depending on market conditions, as
certain strategies may afford greater opportunities to tax loss
harvest than others. Additionally, clients should understand that
tax loss harvesting can adversely affect the investment strategy’s
performance and increase its volatility. A tax-managed strategy
may cause a client portfolio to hold a security in order to achieve
more favorable tax treatment or to sell a security in order to
create tax losses, either of which may result in performance that
is less favorable than what might otherwise have been achieved,
either on a pre-tax or post-tax basis.
• 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 or trade
instructions from an SMA Manager; in these instances,
tax-efficient management may take precedence over the model
portfolio recommendations of an SMA Manager.
• Implementing any reasonable restrictions that you have placed
on the purchase of certain equity securities or category of
equity securities; and
There is no guarantee that any harvesting technique employed
by Edward Jones will achieve any particular tax result. The tax
consequences of tax loss harvesting can be difficult to determine
in real time and may be challenged after the fact by applicable
tax authorities. Clients should consult tax advisors regarding
potential tax consequences and the risks of tax loss harvesting,
as Edward Jones does not provide tax advice. Edward Jones will
not be responsible for the tax consequences, including tax liability
for gains or penalties, of any transactions.
• For clients enrolled in the Multi-Year Transition Service (as
described below), adjusting target portfolio allocations over
time with the goal of minimizing your realized gains while
transitioning to your stated investment targets. It may not be
possible to achieve or maintain the desired investment
allocation during the Transition Period.
Edward Jones generally does not offer tax loss harvesting
services for taxable fixed income strategies or securities.
However, a client’s tax loss harvest request for fixed income
accounts or securities will be evaluated by Edward Jones on a
case-by-case basis.
Edward Jones is solely responsible for the selection of the
overlay manager for the Advisory Program Sponsors. We
reserve the right at any time and in our sole discretion to
change to an overlay manager that is an unaffiliated
investment manager or an affiliated investment manager.
Tax Loss Harvesting Process. When providing tax loss
harvesting services on an as-requested or scheduled basis,
Edward Jones uses quantitative tools to consider the potential
tax benefit generated for clients as well as the potential
performance impact of this activity on the portfolio.
Multi-Year Transition Service. 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.
To effect tax loss harvesting, Edward Jones will sell investments
from a client’s model to realize a loss and invest the proceeds in
a substitute investment that represents the appropriate market
exposure, rather than leaving those proceeds in cash. The
subsequent sale of a substitute investment after the wash sale
period has elapsed may itself result in a gain or loss, and such
gain or loss may be a short-term one. The potentially weaker
performance of a substitute investment could offset the potential
tax benefit of tax loss harvesting.
Tax Loss Harvesting. Edward Jones offers tax loss harvesting
services in taxable client accounts of an Advisory Program
Sponsor, either on an as-requested or scheduled basis. Tax loss
harvesting involves effecting transactions in a taxable account to
achieve tax benefits for the client. Tax loss harvesting is designed
to seek to lower a client’s taxes while also seeking to generally
maintain the expected risk and return profile of an investment
strategy or index, in the case of direct indexing.
Clients should be aware that past performance is no guarantee of
future results and that there is no guarantee that substitute
investments will perform like the loss harvested positions they are
intended to replace. The performance of the substitute
investments, therefore, may be better or worse than the
investments that were sold. Substitute investments may also
cause clients to incur additional fees that would not have been
incurred through investments that were sold.
Whenever providing tax loss harvesting services on an as-
requested or scheduled basis, Edward Jones will make
reasonable efforts to accomplish tax loss harvesting within stated
guidelines, which are described further below.
Clients should be aware that events such as market changes or
cash flows into or out of the account could increase or decrease
the amounts of losses that are realized from the client’s portfolio
at any time. Clients should also know that the strategies they
have selected will affect the amount and nature of tax loss
Wash Sales; No Coordination with Other Accounts; Tax
Risks: Clients should be aware that, although Edward Jones will
make reasonable efforts to avoid wash sales, Edward Jones
cannot guarantee that wash sales will not occur during tax loss
harvesting activity. The wash sale rule disqualifies the realization
of a loss from selling a security if a “substantially identical”
security is purchased 30 days before or after the sale. There is
limited guidance regarding what causes a security to be

> edwardjones.com
Item 7: Types of Clients
The Overlay Management Services are exclusively available to
and provided to the clients of the Advisory Program Sponsors.
The advisory programs of the Advisory Program Sponsors are
generally available only to residents of the United States and
certain U.S. territories.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
“substantially identical” to another security. Therefore, there can
be no assurance of how the IRS or a state or local tax authority
would view the selection of a particular substitute investment. In
some cases, Edward Jones could execute a trade that generates
a wash sale when it believes that doing so is otherwise in the
best interest of the client. Clients should be aware that the wash
sale rule applies not only to transactions in the same account, but
to transactions across different accounts of the taxpayer and
potentially also accounts of a taxpayer’s spouse and household.
Edward Jones is not able to coordinate tax harvesting with, or to
monitor for potential wash sale rule violations in connection with,
any other of the taxpayer’s or the taxpayer’s spouse’s accounts,
or other associated household accounts, under Edward Jones’
management, accounts with the same sponsor managed by other
advisers or with any other accounts. Furthermore, since tax laws
are subject to change, future tax liabilities could increase and
therefore tax loss harvesting might not result in the anticipated
benefits.
Finally, there is no guarantee that the IRS or a state or local tax
authority will not limit and/or prohibit recognition of realized
losses.
The effectiveness of a tax loss harvesting strategy is largely
dependent on each client’s entire tax and investment profile,
including, as noted, investments made outside of Edward Jones’
advisory services. As such, there is a risk that the strategy used
to reduce the tax liability of the client is not the most effective for
every client.
The Advisory Program Sponsors are responsible for the design of
or selection of the investment portfolios, investment strategies
and Program Eligible Investments in their respective advisory
programs, including the managers of affiliated SMAs, unaffiliated
SMAs, affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds, and
ETFs, that are made available for inclusion in a client account.
Further, the Advisory Program Sponsors are responsible for the
initial and ongoing due diligence performed on any Program
Eligible Investment or any other component of advisory program
services and offerings. For more information on the due diligence
conducted in the Edward Jones UMA Program or IAP, you should
review the brochures of the Advisory Program Sponsors to
understand the due diligence process employed by each advisory
program to understand how Program Eligible Investments, SMA
Managers, or any other component of the advisory program
services and offerings are selected and managed. You can ask
your financial advisor or go to www.edwardjones.com/
advisorybrochures to receive copies of these brochures.
Risk of Loss
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Edward Jones does not charge any fees to the Advisory Program
Sponsors for administration of the services described in this
Brochure but reserves the right to do so in the future.
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.
While Edward Jones does not charge fees for the Overlay
Management Services, Edward Jones receives compensation
through the advisory fees assessed in the Advisory Program
Sponsors. As a result, Edward Jones receives indirect
compensation through the advisory fees charged to you in those
advisory programs.
Each Program 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 Program Eligible Investment before deciding to invest in
such security.
Set forth below are some of the material risk factors that are often
associated with the general types of Program Eligible
Investments available to you in your account through an Advisory
Program Sponsor and will be managed by Edward Jones in its
capacity as an overlay manager.
Similarly, our financial advisors do not receive direct
compensation for the Overlay Management Services, but they do
receive a portion of the advisory fees collected through the
Advisory Program Sponsors, though some financial advisors
receive a salary in addition to, or in lieu of, the advisory fees
collected. As a result, our financial advisors receive indirect
compensation through the advisory fees charged to you in those
advisory programs.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-
by-Side Management
Edward Jones and its supervised persons do not receive
performance-based fees in connection with the services
described in this Brochure.
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
of mutual funds’ investments and the NAV of the funds’ shares
will fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic
Page 5 of 10 IAS-20392A-A-E-PB. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
for the company’s services or products, or if the company’s
revenues fall short of expectations. There are also risks
associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
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.
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).
Share Classes. Unaffiliated mutual funds 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. Clients
should not assume they will be invested in the share class with
the lowest expense ratio.
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.
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.
Edward Jones generally attempts to select institutional and/or
advisory share classes, 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. 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 Class A shares are selected, the
upfront sales charges are generally waived, but the Class A
shares are still charged the ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees. If Edward
Jones receives Rule 12b-1 fees for shares held in your account,
we will credit the amount received to your account as a fee offset.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Each ETF’s prospectus and other fund documents describe the
risks specific to the fund.
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
ESG and Sustainable Risks. 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
Page 6 of 10 IAS-20392A-A-E-PB. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
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.
security. In that case, the loss may be deferred or disallowed.
Edward Jones cannot and does not provide any assurances that
wash sales will not occur. In some cases, we 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 us for Program
Eligible Investments we 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.
These matters, as well as others not listed here, may increase
the risk to your account’s performance and cause losses.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
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.
Item 9: Disciplinary 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.
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
Allocation Risk: Investment performance depends on how the
strategy’s assets are allocated. The allocation may not be optimal
in every market condition. Investors could lose money on their
investment in the strategy as a result of such allocation.
Management Risk: A strategy used by an Advisory Program
Sponsor, SMA Manager, or investment manager of an applicable
Program Eligible Investment, such as a mutual fund or ETF, may
fail to produce the intended result.
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
Tax-Efficient Management Risk. In managing your taxable
account in a tax-efficient manner, Edward Jones relies on various
assumptions about the tax posture of a typical investor. Those
assumptions may not correspond to your actual situation. In
addition, we only consider securities held in your Advisory
Program Sponsor account (independently of other accounts).
Securities outside of your account will not be considered,
including securities held in other Advisory Program Sponsor or
Other Advisory Program 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.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports

for your account.
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.
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 that the client
receives the better price.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Item 11: 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 at all times.
• 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
Transactions resulting in your account from the Overlay
Management Services will be completed by or through Edward
Jones. Trading conducted by Edward Jones is done subject to
our broker-dealer trading policies and practices. You cannot
request Edward Jones to route your orders to be executed
through any specific broker-dealer. Not all investment advisers
require their clients to execute their trades through a certain
broker-dealer as we do. For additional information on the trading
practices followed by the Advisory Program Sponsors, please
refer to each program’s respective brochure, which is available at

receive as a result of their employment with Edward Jones.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Edward Jones provides ongoing monitoring of your account as
part of the Overlay Management Services for threshold
rebalancing and tax management opportunities. For information
on additional monitoring and reviews conducted on your Advisory
Program Sponsor account, please refer to each program’s
respective brochure, which is available at edwardjones.com/
advisorybrochures.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
Some Edward Jones associates are deemed “investment
persons” under our Code of Ethics because they may have
access to nonpublic information regarding Program Eligible
Investments of an Advisory Program Sponsor. Under our Code of
Ethics, investment persons must receive prior approval before
acquiring a beneficial ownership interest in any security, and are
subject to restrictions on their personal securities trading,
including limitations on which securities can be purchased and
the timing of transactions in certain securities. These restrictions,
and supervision to ensure compliance with the restrictions, are
designed to minimize and mitigate conflicts. Additionally,
investment persons are required to submit to our 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.
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 fee of an 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
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones
associates and/or their family members may be clients of one or
both advisory programs of an Advisory Program Sponsor and, as
clients of one of both of these advisory programs, are permitted
to and do invest in the Program Eligible Investments, including
affiliated products offered by Edward Jones. This practice could
create a conflict of interest if associates placing trades for their
own accounts were to place a trade before clients and receive a
better price on a security. To address this potential conflict, the
trades for financial advisors, Edward Jones associates and/ or
their family members from an Advisory Program Sponsor account
are aggregated along with other trades, which may include trades

fiduciary duty to vote those proxies in a timely manner and in our
clients’ best interests, even if our clients’ best interest is in conflict
with our interests. Edward Jones votes proxies in accordance
with the parameters set by each Advisory Program Sponsor. You
should review the disclosures on proxy voting in the CSA and
program brochures for each Advisory Program Sponsor to
understand how each program handles proxy voting. You can
find links to this information at edwardjones.com/
advisorybrochures and edwardjones.com/advisoryagreements.
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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones makes and/or
maintains 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 can influence our decision to incorporate such
product or service offering into an Edward Jones advisory
program.
Edward Jones has hired an independent third-party proxy voting
service to assist us in evaluating and voting proxies in a way that
follows our adopted policies and guidelines. We have established
policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that proxies
are voted in a manner that is consistent with our clients’ best
interest. You further understand and acknowledge that certain
independent shareholder rights available to you as an individual
may not be exercised or effectuated when you delegate proxy
authority to Edward Jones. For more information, you can receive

Certain ETF sponsors, which could be included as a Program
Eligible Investment, 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 also participate in conferences or other
marketing activities with Edward Jones and generally share in the
cost of those activities. Edward Jones has not entered into any
agreement with any ETF or its investment adviser or its
distributors or affiliates providing for payment of such expenses
as a condition of inclusion as a Program Eligible Investment.
If you want to retain your right to vote proxies, you must inform
Edward Jones that we are not to vote on your behalf. Those
clients who wish to, or per the applicable terms of the Advisory
Program Sponsors respective advisory programs, retain their
right to vote proxies will then continue to receive all materials and
notices from Edward Jones or the applicable mutual fund
company or issuer and will be responsible for voting on the
issues that the companies raise. We will not provide
recommendations or advice on how to vote on these issues.

adviser (“Section 3(21) investment adviser”), an investment
adviser or manager who provides services comparable to those
provided by a Section 3(21) investment adviser (also referred to
as a “Section 3(21) investment adviser”), or an ERISA Section
3(38) investment manager (“Section 3(38) investment manager”),
as described in more detail below.
In a Pooled Plan, the “Independent Investment Fiduciary” will be
a Section 3(21) investment adviser. The Agreement includes our
acknowledgment that Edward Jones is serving as a Section 3(21)
non-discretionary investment adviser under ERISA when
providing fiduciary services.
Clients participating in Retirement Plan Services typically:

Platform Provider;
Edward Jones is a registered broker-dealer and investment
adviser. As an investment adviser, Edward Jones offers several
advisory programs, subject to program eligibility requirements.
One such program is Edward Jones Retirement Plan Services
(“Retirement Plan Services”). This brochure (“Brochure”) provides
plan sponsors (the “Plan Sponsor”) of employee benefit plans
(the “Plan”) subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), with information about
Edward Jones, Retirement Plan Services, the fees charged for
Retirement Plan Services (“Retirement Plan Services Fee”) and
our business practices. The Plan Sponsor (or, to the extent the
Plan Sponsor has delegated its investment authority to an
investment committee, the committee) is also referred to as

Typically, Clients work directly with one Edward Jones financial
advisor. However, certain Clients, such as large Plans with
employees in multiple locations or Plans that are transitioning from
one financial advisor to another, may work with more than one
financial advisor in order to serve the needs of the Plan. In some
situations, these Clients will receive fiduciary services from one
financial advisor and non-fiduciary services (e.g., educational
services) from one or more other Edward Jones financial advisors.
Alternatively, these Clients could receive fiduciary and non-
fiduciary services from more than one financial advisor. Regardless
of the number of Edward Jones financial advisors providing
services or the determined service arrangements, there is no
impact or change to the fees paid by the Client for the services
provided.
Edward Jones is the primary operating subsidiary of The Jones

Retirement Plan Services for Participant-Directed
Plans
Through Retirement Plan Services, Edward Jones offers the
following services to Participant-Directed Plans: (1)
recommending Platform Providers from a set list maintained by
Edward Jones that may, for example, serve as custodian,
record-keeper or otherwise provide services to you; (2)
recommending Independent Investment Fiduciaries from a set list
maintained by Edward Jones;(3) providing non-discretionary
investment advice regarding Eligible Investment Options offered
by the Participant-Directed Plan; (4) providing educational
services to Client and Client’s employees; and (5) providing
additional services to Client.
The decision to participate in this program is yours. Before
making this decision, you and your financial advisor should
discuss whether this program is appropriate for your investment
goals or needs. If you decide to participate in Retirement Plan
Services, you will enter into a written Edward Jones Retirement
Plan Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) between you, as the
responsible plan fiduciary for the Plan, and us. In addition, you
will appoint an Edward Jones-approved platform provider for the
Plan (the “Platform Provider”) and Independent Investment
Fiduciary (defined below).
In a Participant-Directed Plan, the “Independent Investment
Fiduciary” may be either an ERISA Section 3(21) investment

Section 3(21) of ERISA (“Participant-Directed Fiduciary Services”).
Platform Provider and Independent Investment Fiduciary
Recommendations to Participant-Directed Plans. Edward
Jones will assist you with your search for Platform Providers to
provide custodial, investment and/or record-keeping services to
the Plan.
with your Independent Investment Fiduciary. Independent
Investment Fiduciaries serving as Section 3(21) investment
advisers also provide “automatic execution” or “automatic
replacement services.” This means that if you agree to or
otherwise accept the Independent Investment Fiduciary’s
replacement recommendation, your Platform Provider will
automatically implement the Independent Investment Fiduciary’s
recommendation by removing the Uncovered Investment from
your Plan Investments and replacing it with the recommended
Eligible Investment Option.
We will limit our recommendations to a select number of Edward
Jones-approved Platform Providers that offer investment-related
fiduciary services through an “Independent Investment Fiduciary”
or the “Independent Investment Fiduciaries.” Your preference for
an Independent Investment Fiduciary offering its services as either
a Section 3(21) investment adviser or Section 3(38) investment
manager will be a factor in our recommendation of Platform
Providers since not all Platform Providers offer Independent
Investment Fiduciaries who serve as both a Section 3(21)
investment adviser and a Section 3(38) investment manager.
If you choose to decline your Independent Investment Fiduciary’s
replacement recommendation, you must work with your Edward
Jones financial advisor to choose an alternate Eligible Investment
Option. If the Uncovered Investment is not replaced within a
period of time as determined and communicated by Edward
Jones, Edward Jones may, in its sole discretion, provide notice of
termination of the Retirement Plan Services Agreement and
Edward Jones’ resignation as an Independent Investment
Fiduciary to the Plan. Please refer to your agreement with your
Independent Investment Fiduciary for details regarding its
provision of automatic execution or automatic replacement
services.
For plans utilizing an Independent Investment Fiduciary serving
as a Section 3(38) investment manager, your Independent
Investment Fiduciary will be responsible for removing and
replacing Plan Investments available in the Plan.
From the investment options available to the Plan through the
Platform Provider, your Independent Investment Fiduciary will
develop a menu of investment options that it has found to be
prudent for your Plan (“Eligible Investment Options”). Independent
Investment Fiduciaries will then present these Eligible Investment
Options for your consideration as the Plan Sponsor for inclusion in
the Plan. Section 3(38) investment managers will select and
maintain the investment options for the Plan. The Eligible
Investment Options selected by you, as Plan Sponsor, or selected
by your Section 3(38) investment manager become the investment
options made available to the Plan (“Plan Investments”).
Although Edward Jones will recommend Platform Providers and
Independent Investment Fiduciaries, you will be responsible for
selecting the Platform Provider and the Independent Investment
Fiduciary. In order to participate in Retirement Plan Services, you
must select and enter into separate contractual relationships with
an Edward Jones- approved Platform Provider and Independent
Investment Fiduciary.
Non-Discretionary Investment Advice to Participant-Directed
Plans. The Independent Investment Fiduciary will be responsible
for the following: (1) the recommendation or selection of the
Eligible Investment Options to be offered by or available to the
Plan; (2) the ongoing monitoring and confirmation of the
continued availability of such Eligible Investment Options; (3) the
recommendation or direction to remove and replace Eligible
Investment Options that do not meet the Independent Investment
Fiduciary’s criteria; and (4) the addition, from time to time, of new
Eligible Investment Options that meet the Independent
Investment Fiduciary’s criteria.
We also may provide you with names of third-party administrators
(“TPAs”) reviewed by Edward Jones. However, Edward Jones’
assistance in your search for TPAs is for informational purposes
only as described below under “Educational Services to
Participant-Directed Plans.”
Edward Jones will rely on the decisions made by Client (based
on the recommendations of the Independent Investment
Fiduciary) or decisions made by the Independent Investment
Fiduciary, if serving as a Section 3(38) investment manager.
Edward Jones will only provide advice regarding Eligible
Investment Options. Subject to the foregoing, Edward Jones will
provide non-discretionary investment advice to Client regarding
the Eligible Investment Options to be offered by the Plan,
including advice regarding the selection of Plan Investments, in
order to provide a broad range of investment alternatives
consistent with ERISA Section 404(c) and the regulations
thereunder, unless all of the Plan Investments were selected by a
Section 3(38) investment manager.
Retirement Plan Services for Pooled Plans
Through Retirement Plan Services, Edward Jones offers the
following services to Pooled Plans: (1) recommending Platform
Removal of an Eligible Investment Option by your
Independent Investment Fiduciary. For plans utilizing an
Independent Investment Fiduciary serving as a Section 3(21)
investment adviser, a Plan Investment may require replacement
because your Independent Investment Fiduciary has determined
that the investment is no longer an Eligible Investment Option, at
which point both the Independent Investment Fiduciary and
Edward Jones will disclaim all fiduciary responsibility for the
investment, and it thus becomes an “Uncovered Investment.”
When this occurs, your Independent Investment Fiduciary will
provide a recommendation to replace the Uncovered Investment
with an alternate Eligible Investment Option after providing notice
to you in accordance with the Independent Investment Fiduciary’s
procedures, the details of which will be found in your agreement

advice, we are acting as a fiduciary under Section 3(21) of ERISA
(“Pooled Plan Fiduciary Services”).
If you choose to decline your Independent Investment Fiduciary’s
replacement recommendation, you must work with your Edward
Jones financial advisor to choose an alternate Eligible Investment
Option. If the Uncovered Investment is not replaced within a
period of time as determined and communicated by Edward
Jones, Edward Jones may, in its sole discretion, provide notice of
termination of the Retirement Plan Services Agreement and
Edward Jones’ resignation as an Independent Investment
Fiduciary to the Plan.
Please refer to your agreement with your Independent
Investment Fiduciary for details regarding its provision of
automatic execution or automatic replacement services.
Platform Provider and Independent Investment Fiduciary
Recommendations to Pooled Plans. Edward Jones will assist
you with your search for Platform Providers to provide custodial,
investment and/or record-keeping services to the Pooled Plan.
With respect to Pooled Plans, we will limit our recommendations
to a select number of Edward Jones-approved Platform Providers
that offer investment-related fiduciary services through an
Independent Investment Fiduciary. You will not be given the
option of receiving investment-related fiduciary services through
Section 3(38) investment managers that exercise discretion to
select all investment options for the Plan.
Non-Discretionary Investment Advice to Pooled Plans. The
Independent Investment Fiduciary will be responsible for the
following: (1) the recommendation of the Eligible Investment
Options available to the Plan; (2) the ongoing monitoring and
confirmation of the continued availability of such Eligible
Investment Options; (3) the recommendation to remove and
replace Eligible Investment Options that do not meet the
Independent Investment Fiduciary’s criteria; and (4) the addition,
from time to time, of new Eligible Investment Options that meet
the Independent Investment Fiduciary’s criteria.
Although Edward Jones will recommend Platform Providers and
Independent Investment Fiduciaries, you will be responsible for
selecting the Platform Provider and Independent Investment
Fiduciary. In order to participate in Retirement Plan Services, you
must select and enter into separate contractual relationships with
an Edward Jones- approved Platform Provider and Independent
Investment Fiduciary.
Edward Jones will rely on the decisions made by Client (based
on the recommendations of the Independent Investment
Fiduciary). Edward Jones will only provide advice with respect to
the Eligible Investment Options recommended by the
Independent Investment Fiduciary.
We also may provide you with names of third-party administrators
(“TPAs”) reviewed by Edward Jones. However, Edward Jones’
assistance in your search for TPAs is for informational purposes
only as described below under “Educational Services to Pooled
Plans.”
Subject to the foregoing, Edward Jones will provide non-
discretionary investment advice to Client regarding the Eligible
Investment Options to be selected by the Plan, including advice
regarding asset allocation and the selection of investments
consistent with a defined benefit Pooled Plan’s investment
objectives or asset class guidance for a defined contribution
Pooled Plan.
Platform Provider Platforms
Platform Provider platforms offer investments that include mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds, collective investment funds, stable
value funds, money market funds and/or annuities.
Although Edward Jones will recommend Plan Investments from
among the Eligible Investment Options, Client (with assistance
from its Independent Investment Fiduciary) or Client’s
Independent Investment Fiduciary, if serving as a Section 3(38)
investment manager, will be responsible for the final selection of
Plan Investments.
Removal of an Eligible Investment Option by your
Independent Investment Fiduciary. A Plan Investment may
require replacement because your Independent Investment
Fiduciary has determined that the investment is no longer an
Eligible Investment Option, at which point both the Independent
Investment Fiduciary and Edward Jones will disclaim all fiduciary
responsibility for the investment, and it becomes an “Uncovered
Investment.” When this occurs, your Independent Investment
Fiduciary will provide a recommendation to replace the Uncovered
Investment with an alternate Eligible Investment Option after
providing notice to you in accordance with the Independent
Investment Fiduciary’s procedures, the details of which will be
found in your agreement with your Independent Investment
Fiduciary. Your Independent Investment Fiduciary will also provide
“automatic execution” or “automatic replacement services.” This
means that if you agree to or otherwise accept the Independent
Investment Fiduciary’s replacement recommendation, your
Platform Provider will automatically implement the Independent
Excluded Assets. Edward Jones has no responsibility to provide
any services related to the following types of Plan assets: any
portion of Plan assets that are not maintained on the platform of
the Platform Provider or are maintained on the platform at the
direction or recommendation of a third party (the “Outside

For Participant-Directed Plans, Edward Jones does not provide
actuarial, record-keeping or plan administrative services to
Clients or the Plan.

traded real estate investment trusts); life insurance; brokerage
accounts or mutual fund windows; participant loans; non-publicly
traded partnership interests; other non-publicly traded securities
or property; and other hard-to-value or illiquid securities or
property (collectively with the Outside Assets, “Excluded Assets”).
Edward Jones has no responsibility to provide any services
related to Excluded Assets (or that otherwise take into account
Excluded Assets). The Excluded Assets will be disregarded in
determining the Retirement Plan Services Fee, and the
Retirement Plan Services Fee will be determined only on the
remaining assets (the “Included Assets” or the “Assets” or
“assets”), which may result in the Plan being subject to a higher
annual fee (as discussed in Item 5).
Educational Services to Participant-Directed Plans
When we provide educational services to Client and/or Client’s
employees in Participant-Directed Plans, we are not acting as a
fiduciary of the Plan under ERISA.
Edward Jones will conduct analysis on potential platform
providers and approve certain platform providers for Retirement
Plan Services. Edward Jones will review Edward Jones-approved
Platform Providers on a periodic basis, including reviewing the

be made available to the Plan.

plan types and features and work with the Platform Provider to
assist with Plan setup. In order to assist Client in the
consideration of a TPA, Edward Jones may provide information
on the role of TPAs to Participant-Directed Plans as well as
information about the core services a TPA should provide. Client
is responsible for selecting the TPA for the Plan. Edward Jones
may also provide information on the roles of the Platform
Provider, Independent Investment Fiduciary and our financial
advisors as well as information about the core services they

Additional Services to Pooled Plans
When we provide additional services to Pooled Plans, we are not

Edward Jones will conduct analysis on potential platform
providers and approve certain platform providers for Retirement
Plan Services. Edward Jones will review Edward Jones-approved
Platform Providers on a periodic basis, including reviewing the
breadth, depth and competitiveness of their product offerings;
their financial strength; their risk-management capabilities; and

Edward Jones will educate Plan participants upon request about
asset allocation, in which a portion or percentage of investments
will be invested in various asset classes based on the Plan
participant’s portfolio objective and risk tolerance (“Asset
Allocation”). Asset Allocation cannot eliminate risk associated
with investing, but it can help to keep a Plan participant’s account
within a stated risk tolerance range. Edward Jones may, at its
discretion, provide asset allocation models and interactive
investment materials, such as questionnaires, worksheets,
software or similar materials that enable Plan participants to
estimate future retirement needs. Finally, Edward Jones may

monitoring processes, their financial strength, their risk-
management capabilities, and their service fees. Edward Jones

multiplying the annual fee rate by the value of the Included
Assets held in the Plan (as determined by the Platform Provider).
If the Retirement Plan Services Fee is Flat Dollar, the fee will be
a fixed dollar amount that is mutually agreed upon by Client and
Edward Jones. The initial Retirement Plan Services Fee will be
determined by the Platform Provider and remitted to Edward
Jones in accordance with the process set forth in the agreement
between Client and the Platform Provider. Other arrangements
for fee calculation and collection may apply as agreed to by
Client, Edward Jones and the Platform Provider.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
When you participate in Retirement Plan Services, you pay
fees to Edward Jones. The following section explains:
• Who receives the fees
• When you pay the fees
• How the fees are calculated and paid
• Potential fee offsets
After June 30 of each year, the Platform Provider will provide
Edward Jones with the value of the Included Assets held in the
Plan for the most recently available six (6)-month period.
Depending on whether the value of the Included Assets has
increased (or decreased), Edward Jones, in its discretion, may
determine that a different annual fee will apply. Following
notification from Edward Jones, the Platform Provider will
calculate the Retirement Plan Services Fee going forward using
the revised annual fee. This process will not be applicable for
Plans where Edward Jones has been serving as the registered
investment adviser for a period of less than six (6) months.
Edward Jones relies on the value of the Included Assets held in
the Plan that is provided by the Platform Provider for purposes of
determining the applicable annual fee. Edward Jones does not
review or verify the valuation information provided to us.
Retirement Plan Services Fee Paid to
Edward Jones
In Edward Jones discretion, the Retirement Plan Services Fee
may be expressed as either a fixed asset-based basis point fee
(“Asset-Based”) or a flat-dollar amount (“Flat Dollar”), subject to
the maximums listed in the grid below.
Included Assets
Maximum Annual Fee
Rate
Up to $1 million
75 bps
Over $1 million to $2 million
60 bps
To the extent permitted and facilitated by the Platform Provider,
the Plan Sponsor may choose to pay the Retirement Plan
Services Fee from the Plan Sponsor’s assets; Plan assets and/or
other sources under the Plan’s or the Plan Sponsor’s ownership
and control, including, but not limited to, any third-party fees
attributable to the Plan’s investments.
Over $2 million to $5 million
50 bps
Over $5 million to $10 million
40 bps
Over $10 million to $20 million
30 bps
Over $20 million
25 bps
If the Plan Sponsor elects to pay the Retirement Plan Services
Fee with Plan assets, the Plan Sponsor will instruct the Platform
Provider to calculate and pay, or facilitate the payment by the
Plan’s custodian of, the Retirement Plan Services Fee owed to
Edward Jones from Plan assets. Edward Jones will not accept
12b-1 fees or other revenue directly from Plan Investments.
*Beginning March 27, 2026: For clients with over $20 million in Included Assets, the Retirement
Plan Services Fee may be expressed as a Flat Dollar. When a Flat Dollar fee is first proposed, the
initial Flat Dollar amount will be based on the Included Assets at that point in time and will not
exceed the equivalent maximum Asset-Based fee above.
Other Compensation
Neither Edward Jones, its financial advisors nor any affiliate
reasonably expects to receive any other compensation, direct or
indirect, in connection with Retirement Plan Services. If Edward
Jones receives any other compensation for such services (such
as Rule 12b-1 fees or shareholder accounting revenue), Edward
Jones will return such compensation to the Plan.
The Retirement Plan Services Fee may be discounted or reduced
at the sole discretion of Edward Jones. Your Retirement Plan
Services Fee will be identified on your most current Edward
Jones Employer Retirement Plan Disclosure document. Edward
Jones’ ability to discount or reduce the fee for Clients or the
pricing model you are in may result in one Client paying more or
less than another Client receiving the same Retirement Plan
Services.
The Plan Sponsor or the Platform Provider will be responsible for
the decision on whether fees paid to Client from Plan Investments
(such as Rule 12b-1 fees or shareholder accounting revenue) and
held as Plan assets will be used to pay Plan expenses.
Rule 12b-1 Fees. Some mutual fund companies or their affiliates
pay Rule 12b-1 fees to the Platform Provider for distribution and
marketing expenses with respect to fund investments held in the
Plan. The Independent Investment Fiduciary or Client may direct
the Platform Provider to pay an amount equal to the Rule 12b-1
How the Retirement Plan Services Fee is
Calculated and Paid
The Plan Sponsor will direct the Platform Provider to calculate
the Retirement Plan Services Fee and pay Edward Jones on a
periodic basis (typically, quarterly or monthly). If the Retirement
Plan Services Fee is Asset-Based, the fee will be determined by

Retirement Plan Services Fee.
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).
Financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward Jones
Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which includes
domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu of a trip.
Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon the amount
of new and existing assets under care of a financial advisor which
creates an additional conflict of interest.
Shareholder Accounting Revenue. Some mutual fund
companies pay shareholder accounting revenue to the Platform
Provider for account record-keeping and administrative services
provided by the Platform Provider with respect to fund investments
held in the Plan. The Independent Investment Fiduciary or Client
may direct the Platform Provider to pay an amount equal to the
shareholding accounting revenue received by the Platform
Provider for all or a portion of the Retirement Plan Services Fee.
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.
Additional Fees and Expenses Paid to Platform
Providers and Independent Investment Fiduciaries
Each Platform Provider and Independent Investment Fiduciary will
charge the Plan fees and possibly expenses for their services.
Please consult your agreement with your Platform Provider and
your agreement with your Independent Investment Fiduciary for
more information. These fees are in addition to the Retirement
Plan Services Fee described above and vary depending on the
particular Platform Provider and Independent Investment Fiduciary.
For further information on compensation and conflicts of interest,
please see the “Understanding how we are compensated for
financial services” document found at edwardjones.com/
compensation.
Internal Fees and Expenses of Investment Options
Mutual funds have internal management fees and ongoing
expenses for operating the fund (internal fees and expenses) that
are deducted from the fund’s assets, which has the effect of
reducing the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Many funds have
different share classes with different fees and expenses. The
prospectus for each mutual fund will describe the internal fees
and expenses.
Additional Disclosure of Services, Fees and Other
Compensation: ERISA Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure. This
Brochure contains disclosures designed to assist the Plan’s
named fiduciary or other responsible plan fiduciaries in
determining the reasonableness of the fees and compensation
Edward Jones may receive as a service provider to the Plan.
Retirement Plan Services is an investment advisory program
offered by Edward Jones. The services provided through
Retirement Plan Services are described in Item 4 of this Brochure
and in Section 2 and Appendices A and B of the Agreement.
Exchange-traded funds, stable value funds and collective
investment funds similarly have internal management fees and
ongoing expenses. Internal fees and expenses are in addition to
the Retirement Plan Services Fee described above and vary
depending on the particular investment. Any internal fees and
expenses charged by an investment will affect the investment
performance of Plan Investments.
For a description of the fees paid directly from the Plan in
connection with Retirement Plan Services, please refer to
“Retirement Plan Services Fees Paid to Edward Jones” above in
this Item 5 and Section 3 and Appendix C of the Agreement.
Edward Jones could receive compensation from sources other
than the Plan, Plan participant accounts or the Independent
Investment Fiduciary in connection with the accounts or services
provided. For a discussion of other potential sources of
compensation, see “Other Compensation” above in this Item 5.
Edward Jones does not charge an additional fee upon termination
of the Agreement, as described in Section 6 of the Agreement.
Edward Jones and its affiliates benefit from the fees paid by
Client, as further described in Item 14 of this Brochure.
Financial Advisor Compensation
Your financial advisor (and other Edward Jones financial
advisors, to the extent they provide services to, or on behalf of,
the Plan) receives a portion of the Retirement Plan Services Fee.
As a result, your financial advisor has a financial incentive not to
negotiate the Retirement Plan Services Fee. The portion of the
Retirement Plan Services Fee paid to your financial advisor is at
the discretion of Edward Jones. The fee paid to your financial
advisor will be the same regardless of the Platform Provider or
Independent Investment Fiduciary you select. As a result, your
financial advisor does not have a financial incentive to
recommend one provider over another.
For further information on compensation and conflicts of interest,
please see the “Understanding how we are compensated for

compensation.
The Retirement Plan Services Fee, as well as the amount of
Included Assets, may impact your financial advisor’s eligibility for
a bonus. The Retirement Plan Services Fee, as well as assets
under care, may also impact a financial advisors’ eligibility for the

Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. (the “Profits Interest”). This

undergo periodic monitoring by Edward Jones to ensure they
remain suitable for Retirement Plan Services. A Platform Provider
or Independent Investment Fiduciary can be removed from
Retirement Plan Services for a variety of reasons, including, but
not limited to, the following:
Item 7: Types of Clients
• A significant change to its personnel;
• A significant change in the quality of its services; or
• A significant change in the reasonableness of the fees charged
in light of the services provided.
Edward Jones offers clients a wide range of financial services.
Retirement Plan Services is designed to offer advisory services
to United States corporations and other organizations sponsoring
employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, such as 401(k) plans,
other defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
If a Platform Provider or an Independent Investment Fiduciary is
removed from Retirement Plan Services, you must select another
Edward Jones-approved Platform Provider and/or Independent
Investment Fiduciary in order to continue to participate in
Retirement Plan Services.
However, Retirement Plan Services is not a program designed to
provide advisory services to SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, owner-
only 401(k) plans, governmental defined contribution plans or
403(b) plans not subject to ERISA. Other investment advisory
programs may be available through Edward Jones. Contact your
financial advisor for more information.
There is no minimum asset requirement to participate in
Retirement Plan Services.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
Plan Investments
As indicated above under “Non-Discretionary Investment Advice
to Participant-Directed Plans” and “Non-Discretionary Investment
Advice to Pooled Plans,” your Edward Jones financial advisor will
recommend Plan Investments from among the Eligible
Investment Options recommended or selected by the
Independent Investment Fiduciary. Your financial advisor may
consider quantitative factors (investment history, past
performance, etc.) and qualitative factors (investment strategy)
as part of the review of Eligible Investment Options. The
recommendation process takes into consideration a variety of
factors, each of which may be given different weight, and
generally no one factor determines the outcome of any
recommendation.
Although Edward Jones will recommend Plan Investments from
among the Eligible Investment Options, Client (with assistance
from its Independent Investment Fiduciary) or Client’s
Independent Investment Fiduciary, if serving as a Section 3(38)
investment manager, will be responsible for making the final
selections of Plan Investments, including the final selections of
fund share classes of certain Plan Investments, which may vary
based on the expense arrangements of the Plan. Edward Jones
will not continuously monitor Plan Investments.
Platform Providers and Independent Investment
Fiduciaries
Edward Jones evaluates and recommends the Platform
Providers available in Retirement Plan Services based on several
factors. The evaluation process starts with a limited universe of
available Platform Providers identified by Edward Jones that offer
the services of an Edward Jones-approved Independent
Investment Fiduciary. Numerous quantitative (fees and expenses,
number of clients, etc.) and qualitative (access to cutting-edge
technologies needed to support Plan transactions, including
record-keeping, Plan valuation, investment transactions, Plan
participant and Plan Sponsor reporting, internet access, access
to legal and compliance expertise, etc.) factors, based on the
type of provider being monitored (either Platform Providers or
Independent Investment Fiduciaries) are applied by Edward
Jones in selecting and monitoring the Platform Providers and
Independent Investment Fiduciaries. 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 whether
a Platform Provider is available in Retirement Plan Services.
Risks Associated with Plan Investments
Risk of Loss. All investments involve risk, and the Plan
Investments will 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. Client and
Plan participants should consider the investment objectives,
risks, and charges and expenses of each Plan Investment before
deciding to invest.
Edward Jones will enter into an agreement with each Platform
Provider indicating that Edward Jones will act as the investment
adviser to retirement plans that may, in their discretion, retain the
Platform Provider to provide custodial, investment, record-
keeping and/or other services. The agreement will specify certain
minimum services to be provided by the Platform Provider,
including developing and maintaining systems and procedures to,
at Client’s direction, pay the Retirement Plan Services Fee owed
to Edward Jones from the Plan.
There is no guarantee that the Eligible Investment Options or
Plan Investments will perform in any particular manner. Past
performance is not a guarantee of future results. Further details
about a Plan Investment can be found in its prospectus,
statement of additional information, shareholder reports or
annuity contract, as applicable.
Platform Providers and Independent Investment Fiduciaries
Edward Jones is not responsible for the performance of an
Page 9 of 14 LGL-10077V-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD

investment, the Plan or the account of a Plan participant.
solely of assets of retirement plans such as 401(k) plans and
other defined contribution or defined benefit retirement plans that
are qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
Like mutual funds, CIFs may have a variety of investment
objectives and strategies and are subject to investment and other
risks. Unlike mutual funds, CIFs are not subject to the restrictions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a
result, managers of CIFs have to disclose fund performance and
the components of a portfolio only once a year, although most
CIF managers communicate performance to investors on a more
frequent basis.
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. The value 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.
In-plan Annuities Risk. In-plan annuities are designed to
provide guaranteed income payments for a specified period of
time beginning at a future date, typically on or after retirement.
In-plan annuity products come in many different structures and
are subject to investment and other risks, so it is important for
Clients and Plan participants to understand the unique features
and provisions of the available options.
Exchange-Traded Funds (“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. 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.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
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.
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.
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 investments. 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 risk and cause losses.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Stable Value Funds Risk. The objective of most stable value
funds is to provide safety of principal and an investment return that
is generally higher than a money market return, while providing
participants the ability to withdraw their assets for ordinary
transactions at book rather than market value. However, the
ability to withdraw stable value assets at book value has
limitations based on the insurance contracts that wrap the
underlying assets. In addition, most stable value funds require a
hold period before assets can be withdrawn from the fund by the
plan sponsor at book value and may refuse to honor book value
withdrawals after communications from a plan sponsor or plan
fiduciaries that it determines caused participants’ withdrawals.
Additionally, the plan is often restricted from offering investment
alternatives or plans that are viewed as competitive with the
stable value offering. Stable value funds are subject to
counterparty risk of the insurers that provide the fund’s book
value liquidity.
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.

the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent
compliance consultant to assess the firm’s policies and systems
regarding electronic communications recordkeeping and assist
Edward Jones in further enhancing those policies and systems.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports
that were misleading.
FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had made changes to
enhance its supervisory processes. As part of the settlement,
Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $725,000.
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.
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation.
On December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely, and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
during the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal
controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities
and Affiliations
State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration.
On January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January
2015 through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least
one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S. §
1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without admitting or denying the findings in the
Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
You should be aware that Edward Jones, our affiliates and our
financial advisors perform services for other clients outside of
Retirement Plan Services, including the execution of brokerage
transactions (e.g., the purchase or sale of securities or 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.
SEC Off-Channel Communications Platforms Investigation.
On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
A conflict of interest exists where Edward Jones has an existing
business relationship with the mutual fund families, sub-advisers,
and/or Platform Providers and Independent Investment
Fiduciaries that are recommended through Retirement Plan
Services. 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

agencies that conduct insurance-related activities in the U.S.:
Edward Jones Insurance Agency of New Mexico, L.L.C., a New
Mexico limited liability company; Edward Jones Insurance
Agency of Massachusetts, L.L.C., a Massachusetts limited
liability company; and Edward Jones Insurance Agency of
California, L.L.C., a California limited liability company.
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 considering revenue
sharing from existing business relationships when recommending
certain investment options and/or Platform Providers or
Independent Investment Fiduciaries.
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.
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 related to Plans
participating in Retirement Plan Services. Edward Jones and our
financial advisors also receive compensation for services and
recommendations that may differ from advice given to you while
participating in Retirement Plan Services.
Item 11: 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;
• 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;
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 may be
recommended Platform Providers or Independent Investment
Fiduciaries in Retirement Plan Services. 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 recommending Platform
Providers or Independent Investment Fiduciaries.
• comply with all applicable rules, regulations and laws; and
• do not use any material nonpublic information they may receive
as a result of their employment with Edward Jones.
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.
Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of JFC, is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and
serves as the investment adviser of certain affiliated mutual
funds, including the Edward Jones Money Market Fund. 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.
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 our advisory programs, including asset
allocations. 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.
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.
Edward Jones Trust Company (“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 and Roth IRAs through an agreement between Edward
Jones and EJTC.
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. As noted in Item 12
below, the Platform Provider will be responsible for executing

trades for Retirement Plan Services.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Edward Jones will not execute trades for Clients participating in
Retirement Plan Services. Generally, the Platform Provider will
provide trade execution services for the Plan for a fee.
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.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
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.
Your Edward Jones financial advisor will perform an annual
review with you as the Plan Sponsor of a Participant-Directed
Plan, which may include a review of the following: Plan goals and
objectives; the Platform Provider and Independent Investment
Fiduciary and fees charged by each party; current platform and
services offered by the Platform Provider; Plan participation,
contributions and demographics; Plan Investments; and the
qualified default investment alternative (“QDIA”) selection.
An affiliate of Edward Jones maintains a minority investment in
Boon Business Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Aboon, a Delaware
corporation and unaffiliated third party that, inter alia, provides
TPA services to employee benefit plans. If a Client selects Aboon
as the TPA for the Plan, our affiliate may earn indirect
compensation, which creates a conflict of interest. This conflict is
addressed through disclosures.
Edward Jones does not receive compensation from Platform
Providers or Independent Investment Fiduciaries participating in
Retirement Plan Services.
Your Edward Jones financial advisor will perform an annual
review with you as the Plan Sponsor of a Pooled Plan, which may
include a review of the following: Plan goals and objectives; the
Platform Provider and Independent Investment Fiduciary and
fees charged by each party; current platform and services offered
by the Platform Provider; Plan contributions and demographics;
Plan Investments; whether a defined benefit Pooled Plan is
meeting its investment objectives; and a review of a defined
contribution Pooled Plan’s current investment menu in
accordance with Edward Jones’ asset class guidance.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
Certain unaffiliated mutual fund companies and/or ETF sponsors
(or their investment advisers) and Platform Providers 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 also participate in
conferences or other marketing activities with Edward Jones and
generally share in the cost of those activities. Edward Jones has
not entered into any agreement with any ETF, mutual fund, or its
investment adviser or its distributors or affiliates providing for
payment of such expenses as a condition of recommending a
Plan Investment or a Platform Provider. Our financial advisors are
not allowed to consider an advisory product partner’s
sponsorship of a marketing activity when recommending a Plan
Investment or a Platform Provider for Retirement Plan Services.
Item 15: Custody
Edward Jones does not provide custody services in connection
with Retirement Plan Services. Generally, the Platform Provider
will provide custody services for a fee.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
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 Retirement Plan Services 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.
Edward Jones has no discretion over the investment of Plan
assets and has no discretion to interpret the Plan documents, to
determine eligibility or participation under the Plan, or to take any
other action with respect to the management, administration or
any other aspect of the Plan.
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
Edward Jones does not provide legal or tax advice. You should
consult with your legal or tax professional before participating in
Retirement Plan Services.

You or Edward Jones may terminate your participation in
Retirement Plan Services at any time by providing sixty (60) days’
prior written notice. If you terminate your contractual relationship
with the Platform Provider or Independent Investment Fiduciary
without selecting and entering into an agreement with an
appropriate replacement Platform Provider or Independent
Investment Fiduciary, Edward Jones will terminate your
Agreement. Additionally, if the Platform Provider is removed from
Retirement Plan Services by Edward Jones, you must contact your
financial advisor and select a Platform Provider available in
Retirement Plan Services. If you do not select an available
Platform Provider within the time frame established by Edward
Jones, Edward Jones will terminate your participation in
Retirement Plan Services. If you or Edward Jones terminate your
participation in Retirement Plan Services, the Plan will be charged
the Retirement Plan Services Fee through the date of termination.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Edward Jones will not be responsible for voting (or
recommending how to vote) proxies for Clients participating in
Retirement Plan Services. Client or, if applicable, Plan
participants will be responsible for voting proxies of Plan
Investments.
Item 18: Financial Information
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Item 19: Requirements for State-Registered
Advisers
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.

Item 4: Advisory Business
The SMA Model Portfolios are developed, managed, and
maintained by Edward Jones and each follows an overarching
investment philosophy that guides our portfolio managers when
maintaining the associated investment strategy for these model
portfolios. The investment strategy for a SMA Model Portfolio
guides the investment decisions made at creation and throughout
the duration of such model portfolio. Our portfolio managers will
not alter or change a SMA Model Portfolio in this Program to
accommodate an individual investor’s specific investment needs
or desires.
Edward Jones is a registered broker-dealer and investment
adviser in the United States. As an investment adviser, Edward
Jones offers several advisory programs. This brochure
(“Brochure”) provides clients (“client,” “you” or “your”) with
information about the Edward Jones investment strategies
developed, managed and advised by Edward Jones as
separately managed account (“SMA”) model portfolios (“SMA
Model Portfolios”) (overall referred to as the “Program”). You
should read this Brochure carefully and consult with your tax
professional before you select any investment strategy.
Edward Jones will monitor and update the SMA Model Portfolios
maintained in this Program on an ongoing basis. If an update to a
SMA Model Portfolio occurs, then such updates are provided to
the designated overlay manager or representative of the Program
Sponsor for distribution and use with its clients. The Program
Sponsor then has discretion to implement the SMA Model
Portfolio within their program to meet its clients’ needs, including
adhering to any reasonable investment restrictions requested by
the client.
The SMA Model Portfolios created and managed by Edward
Jones are made available exclusively to qualifying investment
advisory programs of Edward Jones and its affiliates (“Program
Sponsor(s)”) as non-discretionary model portfolios. This means
that as updates are made by Edward Jones to a SMA Model
Portfolio, we will provide the updated information to the Program
Sponsor, who generally has investment and trading discretion as
to how and when it will execute the model updates in its
investment advisory client accounts.
Depending on the SMA Model Portfolio’s investment strategy, the
portfolio could consist of stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
cash and/or cash equivalents, or some combination thereof
(“SMA Model Portfolio Securities”). Edward Jones has sole
responsibility and retains authority for selecting what SMA Model
Portfolio Securities will comprise a model portfolio in this
Program, as well as what associated percentages (target
weightings) will comprise such model portfolio.
Edward Jones does not consider the investment strategies
described in this Brochure to create an advisory relationship with
you and Edward Jones. Instead, an advisory relationship exists
between you and the Program Sponsor for which the SMA Model
Portfolios are made available to you in your advisory account. For
more information on the investment advisory programs available
to you that offer SMA Model Portfolios, please ask your financial
advisor or go to www.edwardjones.com/advisorybrochures.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Edward Jones does not charge any fees to the Program
Sponsors for their distribution and use of the SMA Model
Portfolios developed and maintained in this Program but reserves
the right to do so in the future.
Edward Jones offers additional investment advisory services as
well as separate brokerage services. Such other investment
advisory services, or brokerage services, are not described in this
brochure. Certain programs or offerings are only available
through select financial advisors. To learn more about these other
investment advisory services offered by us, please ask your
financial advisor or go to www.edwardjones.com/
advisorybrochures.
While Edward Jones does not charge fees for the SMA Model
Portfolios developed and maintained as part of this Program,
Edward Jones receives compensation through the advisory fees
received by Program Sponsors through their respective advisory
programs. As a result, Edward Jones receives indirect
compensation through the advisory fees charged on any
investment you choose to make in the SMA Model Portfolios
through your investment advisory account with a Program
Sponsor.
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.
Similarly, our financial advisors do not receive compensation for
the SMA Model Portfolios developed and maintained as part of
this Program, but they do receive a portion of the advisory fees
collected through the respective investment advisory programs of
the Programs Sponsors, though some financial advisors receive
a salary in addition to, or in lieu of, the advisory fees collected. As
a result, our financial advisors receive indirect compensation on
any investment you choose to make in the SMA Model Portfolios
in your qualifying investment advisory account with the Program
Sponsor.
As described above, this Program offers non-discretionary
services only to qualifying investment advisory programs of the
Program Sponsors, and does not have any assets under
management for the Program. For the other investment advisory
programs and services offered and managed by Edward Jones
that include assets under management, as of December 31,
2025, Edward Jones managed $494,281,232,605 in discretionary
assets and $578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary assets.

position the company for future success.
Item 7: Types of Clients
• Financial Strength: typically evidenced by an investment-grade
credit rating, relatively low debt, and sustainable sources of
cash flow and profitability.
• Quality of Earnings: sources of revenue and profits are ideally
more predictable and from sustainable sources.
The SMA Model Portfolios developed and maintained for this
Program are exclusively available to clients enrolled in the
qualifying investment advisory programs of the Program Sponsor.
Depending on the registration of the Program Sponsor, such
programs are generally available only to residents of the United
States, certain U.S. territories and Canada.
We use this assessment to project future earnings, cash flow,
and determine a fair value for the company. We then work to
value the company using a variety of methods including, but not
limited to:
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
• Multiple Analysis
• Price-to-Earnings
• Price-to-Sales
• Price-to-Book
• Enterprise Value (EV)/Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Edward Jones requires its portfolio managers to have significant
experience in securities research and to have served in the
capacity of a securities research analyst at Edward Jones,
wherein these professionals, among other things, previously
worked to curate buy lists of securities for Other Advisory
Programs.
Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)
• Cash Flow Analysis
• Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI)
• Discounted Cash Flow
• Sum-of-the-Parts Analysis
Method of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Edward Jones’s investment approach for its equity strategies is a
bottom-up, fundamental approach that identifies quality
companies at attractive prices. Consisting primarily of equity
securities of U.S. issuers and American depositary receipts (also
referred to as “ADRs”), we select equity securities based on
geography, longevity, financial risk, and size. Edward Jones
reviews for:
• Companies with at least 10 years of operating history, ensuring
they have faced economic downturns and have management
experienced in both adversity and success.
• Companies with investment-grade credit quality or companies
that we believe are trending toward investment grade.
Before adding a company to an SMA Model Portfolio, we assess
its potential impact, considering sector and sub-sector
concentration, volatility, yield, correlation, and various risk
metrics. We buy or add to existing equity securities when we
seek a certain sector exposure, see growth opportunities, or
believe the equity security is undervalued. We diversify our
portfolios to mitigate market fluctuations, using qualitative and
quantitative data for sector allocation decisions based on market
cycles, growth and inflation outlooks, momentum, and valuation.
• Larger companies with a longer history of success, a broader
customer base, and greater management depth.
We will reduce or remove positions from our portfolios if a better
opportunity arises, there is a change in portfolio view, or if the
price exceeds our perceived fair value.
Once a company meets these criteria, we perform an in-depth
analysis, starting with a review of the company’s financial and
operating history, compiling data from regulatory filings and
third-party providers. The due-diligence process generally
involves examining company literature, news reports,
competitors, industry publications, third-party research, and
discussions with company management and industry experts.
Our goal is to assess the company’s:
• Competitive Advantages: factors that give a company a
sustainable advantage over other companies that provide
comparable products or services,
• Market Position: the company’s ability to take market share or
Risk of Loss
All investment strategies involve risk, and the value of any given
model portfolio will fluctuate. As a result, a SMA Model Portfolio
offered through this Program cannot guarantee any rate of return
or performance. The past performance of a SMA Model Portfolio
does not guarantee a specific future result will be achieved.
Furthermore, a SMA Model Portfolio in this Program could have
errors in how it is designed, tested, validated, monitored,
maintained, or how it is provided to the Program Sponsor or its
overlay manager. Such errors could negatively impact the
performance of that model portfolio.
defend its current dominant position.

The investment results achieved at any given time by a SMA
Model Portfolio in the Program could and will differ from the
investment results achieved by other portfolio models or
investment strategies maintained in the Program or elsewhere by
Edward Jones, including for the same or similar investments.
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.
The SMA Model Portfolio Securities comprising a SMA Model
Portfolio will fluctuate in value, causing the overall performance
of the portfolio to fluctuate over time and not be guaranteed.
Furthermore, when SMA Model Portfolio Securities are sold, they
may be worth more or less than the original cost to purchase.
Diversification in an SMA Model Portfolio does not guarantee a
profit or protect against loss.
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.
These matters, as well as others not listed here, may increase
the risk to your account’s performance and cause losses.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
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
associated with the stock market overall. The stock market may
experience periods of turbulence and instability.
This section contains information about certain legal and
regulatory matters that Edward Jones believes are material to a
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Edward Jones has also been subject to various
legal and regulatory proceedings relating to our other businesses
that are disclosed in Part 1 of our Form ADV, which is available
on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, as well as on
FINRA’s website at www.finra.org/brokercheck.
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).
FINRA – Municipal Securities Transactions Below Minimum
Denominations. On June 2, 2017, Edward Jones, without
admitting or denying the findings, entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA’s Department of Market Regulation in
connection with its investigation of possible violations of MSRB
rules regarding transactions in certain municipal securities in
amounts lower than the applicable minimum denominations. As
part of the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary
fine of $210,000.
ETF 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.
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 environmental, social and
governance (“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 ETF’s prospectus and
other fund documents describe the risks specific to the fund.
FINRA – Supervision of Tools-Generated Reports. On July 13,
2017, Edward Jones, without admitting or denying the findings,
entered into a settlement agreement with FINRA in connection
with its investigation of the supervision of the use and
dissemination of reports generated through Edward Jones’
systems by financial advisors. FINRA expressly stated that its
review of 65,000 reports did not reveal any instances of reports
that were misleading. FINRA also stated that Edward Jones had
made changes to enhance its supervisory processes. As part of
the settlement, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of
$725,000.
Cybersecurity Risk. The computer systems, networks and
devices used by Edward Jones and our service providers employ
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
FINRA – Call Detail Records Production and Preservation.
On December 13, 2022, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
agreement with FINRA without admitting or denying the findings
therein. FINRA alleged Edward Jones violated FINRA Rules
8210(a)(1) and 2010 by (1) failing to timely, completely, and
accurately respond to certain FINRA requests for call detail
Page 5 of 8 IAS-18375C-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
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.
records that are not required broker-dealer books and records
and (2) failing to preserve certain responsive call detail records
during the pendency of regulatory requests. Edward Jones was
censured, agreed to certify that it has established and
implemented policies, procedures, processes and internal
controls reasonably designed to address and remediate the
issues identified by FINRA in the settlement, and agreed to pay a
monetary fine of $1.1 million.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities
and Affiliations
State of Pennsylvania – Investment Adviser Registration. On
January 12, 2024, Edward Jones and the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking and Securities entered into a Consent
Order. The Department alleged that from in or about January
2015 through the present, Edward Jones failed to register at least
one employee as an investment adviser representative in
Pennsylvania in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the
Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 (“the 1972 Act”), 70 P.S.
§1-301(c.1)(1)(ii). Without admitting or denying the findings in the
Order, Edward Jones agreed to pay a monetary fine of $300,000
and to comply with the relevant provision of the 1972 Act.
You should be aware that Edward Jones, our affiliates and our

Edward Jones and our affiliates receive compensation, including

On August 14, 2024, Edward Jones entered into a settlement
with the SEC in connection with the SEC’s industry-wide
investigation into the preservation of electronic communications
pursuant to applicable recordkeeping provisions of Section 17(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and
Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers
Act”) and supervisory provisions of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the
Exchange Act and Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act, and
applicable rules thereunder. Edward Jones fully cooperated with
the SEC’s investigation and has enhanced its policies and
procedures concerning the use of approved communication
methods. The settlement imposes a cease-and-desist order and
censure, requires Edward Jones to pay a civil monetary penalty
of $50 million, and requires Edward Jones to comply with
undertakings including the retention of an independent
compliance consultant to assess the firm’s policies and systems
regarding electronic communications recordkeeping and assist
Edward Jones in further enhancing those policies and systems.

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
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.
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 that the client
receives the better price.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Edward Jones has established a Code of Ethics to ensure that
our associates:
• Act with integrity and in an ethical manner at all times.
• Conduct personal trading in compliance with our Code of
The Program develops and manages investment strategies on a
non-discretionary basis that are then provided to the designated

do not abuse the faith and trust you have placed in them.

• Do not use any material nonpublic information they may

receive as a result of their employment with Edward Jones.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
Some Edward Jones associates are deemed “investment
persons” under our Code of Ethics because they may have
access to nonpublic information regarding SMA Model Portfolio
Securities that will be added or removed to a SMA Model
Portfolio, and/or what changes are being planned to target
weights for a SMA Model Portfolio. Under our Code of Ethics,
investment persons must receive prior approval before acquiring
a beneficial ownership interest in any security, and are subject to
restrictions on their personal securities trading, including
limitations on which securities can be purchased and the timing
of transactions in certain securities. These restrictions, and
supervision to ensure compliance with the restrictions, are
designed to minimize and mitigate conflicts. Additionally,
investment persons are required to submit to our 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.
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 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.
You should know that financial advisors, Edward Jones
associates and/or their family members may be clients of the
Program Sponsors and, as clients of one or more of those
investment advisory programs, are permitted to and do invest in
the SMA Model Portfolios developed and maintained by this
Program. This practice could create a conflict of interest if
associates placing trades for their own accounts were to place a
trade before clients and receive a better price on a security. To
address this potential conflict, the trades for financial advisors,
Edward Jones associates and/or their family members in the
Program Sponsors’ investment advisory programs are
aggregated along with other trades, which may include trades for
your account.
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
Page 7 of 8 IAS-18375C-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
or referrals to Edward Jones.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones 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 can influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
Certain ETF sponsors, which could be included as an SMA Model
Portfolio Security in a SMA Model Portfolio, 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 also participate in
conferences or other marketing activities with Edward Jones and
generally share in the cost of those activities. Edward Jones has
not entered into any agreement with any ETF or its investment
adviser or its distributors or affiliates providing for payment of
such expenses as a condition of inclusion in a SMA Model
Portfolio. Our portfolio managers are not allowed to consider an
advisory product partner’s sponsorship of a marketing activity
when choosing what SMA Model Portfolio Security to select in a
SMA Model Portfolio.
Item 15: Custody
Edward Jones does not custody assets as part of this Program.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Edward Jones does not have investment discretion over any
client assets through this Program.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy voting is not conducted in connection with this Program.
Item 18: Financial Information
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.

Advisers

sixty (60) days of the subsequent re-funding of your account.
During such time, you may need to take certain steps, such as
selling any investments that are not eligible to be held in your
chosen accounts, if applicable, and transferring the proceeds and
any other eligible investments into such chosen accounts.
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 Transitional Retirement Account (“Transitional
Retirement”) and our business practices.
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.
Account Portfolio Objective. Generally, if you open a
Transitional Retirement account, the portfolio objective for your
account (“Account Portfolio Objective”) will be the same as the
portfolio objective you selected for your retirement goal (your
“Retirement Portfolio Objective”). However, if you do not have a
Retirement Portfolio Objective, then the Account Portfolio
Objective for your Transitional Retirement account will be
preservation of principal. The preservation of principal Account
Portfolio Objective is designed to preserve the original amount
invested in your account. Edward Jones will have no authority to
change your Account Portfolio Objective without your instruction.
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.
Brokerage Services. You are responsible for directing the sale
of investments in your Transitional Retirement account, if any,
and should not rely solely on the recommendations of Edward
Jones or your financial advisor. You will not be able to purchase
any new investments in your account. Neither Edward Jones nor
your financial advisor will have discretionary authority for any
trading or investment decisions in your account.
As of December 31, 2025, we managed $494,281,232,605 in
discretionary assets and $578,967,564,739 in non-discretionary
assets across all of our advisory programs.
Transitional Retirement Overview
Transitional Retirement is a client-directed advisory program
sponsored by Edward Jones designed to provide you with limited
short-term investment advice, guidance and services free of
charge. Transitional Retirement is intended to enhance the working
relationship between you and your Edward Jones financial advisor
by facilitating the handling of certain transactions within a limited
period of time that may not be available in other programs.
A Transitional Retirement account may be appropriate if, in
consultation with your Edward Jones financial advisor, you have
decided to:
Edward Jones will execute sales only at your direction. You must
provide trading instructions in a timely manner to ensure that
each asset deposited into your account is sold or otherwise
removed from your account within sixty (60) days from the date
of initial funding of your account or, if subsequently re-funded
after such period, within sixty (60) days of the subsequent
re-funding of your account. When Edward Jones executes trades
for your account, we are not acting as an investment adviser, but
solely as a broker-dealer. Trading in your account will be subject
to our trading policies and practices. You will not be charged
trade commissions or sales charges for Transitional Retirement
account trades. You cannot request that your orders be executed
through another broker-dealer. Not all investment advisers
require their clients to execute their trades through a certain
broker-dealer as we do.
• open more than one account and have chosen to fund such
accounts with securities and other assets rather than cash;
• add securities and other assets to more than one account;
• liquidate securities and other assets and transfer, or otherwise
distribute, the proceeds from one or more accounts, which may
include an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or other
retirement accounts; or
• convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA.
Transitional Retirement account trades are sometimes
aggregated. This means that trades for your account are
combined with other client accounts, including accounts for
Edward Jones associates, and executed in a single trade or
series of trades. Once the trade is executed, it is then allocated
to your account in the proper amount. Trade aggregation is done
to increase operational efficiencies and allows us to keep trading
costs down. If we did not aggregate trades, the program fees for
our investment advisory programs could potentially be higher.
In certain circumstances, a Transitional Retirement account may
be required when opening or adding additional assets to an
advisory account.
All investments in your Transitional Retirement account must be
removed from the account within sixty (60) days of the account’s
Mutual fund trades are aggregated and executed after the close
of a trading day. Trade aggregation does not have any effect on
the price you receive for mutual fund shares redeemed for your
account. You may have to pay redemption fees to a mutual fund
company if those mutual fund shares were held for only a short
time (typically anywhere from less than thirty (30) days to twelve
Page 3 of 10 LGL-10433R-A-E-PB REV. MAR 2026 © 2026 EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AECSPAD
> edwardjones.com
(12) months). The prospectus and statement of additional
information will describe whether the mutual fund has a
redemption fee and whether there are instances when the
redemption fees will be waived.
Termination of Your Account. You have sixty (60) days from the
date of initial funding of your Transitional Retirement account to
remove all investments in such account. However, your account
will remain open past such period and be available for future
additional funding.
You or Edward Jones may terminate your Transitional Retirement
account at any time without an advisory termination fee. While oral
instructions to terminate your Transitional Retirement account are
generally acceptable, Edward Jones, in its sole discretion, may
require written notice in order to terminate your account.
Upon notice of termination of your Transitional Retirement
account, Edward Jones will not be obligated to recommend any
action with regard to the assets in your account, if any, but you
may instruct Edward Jones to sell the securities or transfer the
assets to another Edward Jones account or a third-party account.
Some mutual funds and/or fund share classes may not be held
outside of your Transitional Retirement account. In these cases,
Edward Jones is authorized to redeem those shares for you or to
convert the mutual fund share class into a different share class.
Trade Allocation. From time to time, the volume and/or number
of trades that are directed by clients to be executed for
Transitional Retirement accounts may exceed Edward Jones’
operational and technological capacities if these trades are
directed on a single day. In order to maintain the orderly
processing of trades and to minimize the incidence of errors,
Edward Jones may allocate trades based on the time of order
entry. In certain circumstances, this process may take several
days or weeks. Although designed to be fair and equitable over
time, this may result in clients receiving different prices. In
addition, if the volume or size of redemptions exceeds the limits
set forth in the mutual fund’s trading policies and procedures,
the mutual fund may exceed the standard settlement period to
process redemptions or may redeem positions in-kind.
Alternatively, Edward Jones may rely on a random allocation
process to effect the redemptions over time in a manner
consistent with the limits set forth in the mutual fund’s trading
policies and procedures.
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, we 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 trade errors are caused by
your actions and the process of correcting the errors results in a
net loss in the error account, your account will be debited for the
amount of such loss. 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.
Upon notice of termination or if Edward Jones determines to no
longer offer this Transitional Retirement Account program, and if
you fail to instruct Edward Jones as to the disposition of assets in
your account, your account’s 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 the money
market fund). Any transactions will be subject to fees,
commissions and sales charges applicable to Edward Jones
brokerage accounts. Alternatively, if you fail to provide
instructions as directed above, Edward Jones in its sole
discretion may liquidate and distribute the assets in the Account
and your Services Agreement will be terminated.
If you terminate and sell the assets in your account, your proceeds
will be available upon settlement of the trades generated to
complete the liquidation. Account liquidation may cause a taxable
event as well as additional fees and expenses.
Fees
Custody. Assets in your account are held at Edward Jones as
broker-dealer. However, if you have entered into an IRA Custodial
Agreement with Edward Jones Trust Company (“EJTC”), assets
in your IRA will be held at EJTC. EJTC has delegated its duties
and responsibilities as a custodian to Edward Jones as
sub-custodian.
As custodians, Edward Jones and EJTC are responsible for:
• safekeeping your funds and securities;
• collecting dividends, interest and proceeds from any sales; and
Program Fee to Edward Jones. Transitional Retirement is a
wrap fee program, but there is no charge for our investment
advisory services, execution of transactions through Edward
Jones and related services (the “Program Fee”).
• disbursing funds from your account.
In addition, you may be eligible to receive credits to your account,
as described below.
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. If
EJTC is the custodian, the account statement will be sent by
Edward Jones on behalf of EJTC. Please review your account
statements carefully and notify us immediately if you detect
an error or a discrepancy.
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.

> edwardjones.com
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.
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.

interest, please see the “Understanding how we are
compensated for financial services” document found at

in the Fund (collectively, “Money Market Revenue”). Appendix A
includes a detailed discussion of our Money Market Revenue. For

Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
In consultation with your financial advisor, you select the assets
to sell based on numerous 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.
Deposits, including interest and dividends, received into your
account 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
changes in widely referenced interbank lending rates, such as
Fed Funds Effective Rate, Fed Funds Target Rate, London
Interbank Offered Rates 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.
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 or
the value of the assets you invested. Past performance does not
guarantee future results.
Financial Advisor Compensation
Assets under care will impact your financial advisor’s eligibility for
a bonus and bonus amount. Assets under care may also impact
a financial advisors’ eligibility for the receipt of certain limited
partnership profits interest in The Jones Financial Companies,
Money Market Funds Risk. Cash in your Transitional
Retirement account may be invested in the Edward Jones Money
Market Fund as a cash sweep vehicle. The Edward Jones Money
Market Fund is affiliated with Edward Jones. Please refer to
Appendix A for more information about the Edward Jones Money
Market Fund.
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).
Financial advisors are eligible to participate in the Edward Jones
Travel Award Program (“Travel Award Program”), which includes
domestic and international travel, or a cash award in lieu of a trip.
Eligibility for the Travel Award Program is based upon the amount
of new and existing assets under care of a financial advisor which
creates an additional conflict of interest.
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 net asset value (“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.
These financial incentives create a conflict between Edward
Jones’ interest, your financial advisor’s interest, and your own.

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:
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
You should be aware that Edward Jones, its affiliates and its
financial advisors perform services for you and other clients
outside of Transitional Retirement, including the execution of
brokerage transactions (e.g., the purchase or sale of securities or
insurance products), 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 its 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

• act with integrity and in an ethical manner with you and all of
our clients;
• place your and all of our clients’ interests first;
• 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; and
• do not use any material nonpublic information they may receive
as a result of their employment with Edward Jones.
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.
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 eligible investments, including asset
allocations. 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.
From time to time, affiliates of Edward Jones 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 can influence our decision to incorporate
such product or service offering into an Edward Jones Advisory
Program.
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.
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.

Advisers
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
This section does not apply to Edward Jones.
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 Transitional Retirement 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

Appendix A
Disclosures Regarding Affiliated Money Market Fund
Edward Jones Money Market Fund. Your Transitional
Retirement 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(s).
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.
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 its clients maintain
in the Money Market Fund.
For any Transitional Retirement 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.
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 or its
affiliates by the Money Market Fund. The prospectus also
describes certain revenue received by Edward Jones in
connection with the Money Market Fund.
