Please review the applicable Edward Jones Advisory Solutions® Brochure for more information.

There may be additional risks inherent in certain investments, including mutual funds, ETFs, international and equity investments. These risks may include currency, political, social and economic risks. Some mutual funds or ETFs categorized as niche assets may include real estate investment trusts (REITs), natural resources (such as gold or commodities), emerging markets and alternative investments registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Niche assets may be less liquid and contain a higher risk of loss of principal than other forms of equity investments. There is the potential for greater price swings associated with niche assets.
There may be risks involved with investing in equity and fixed-income investments. Equity investments generally involve greater risk than fixed-income investments and are subject to market fluctuation. There are greater-than-average risks involved with investing in small- and mid-capitalization and emerging growth companies. Small-company stocks can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks and may have limited marketability. International stock contain additional risks that are not associated with U.S. domestic issues, such as changes in currency exchange rates and different governmental regulations, economic conditions, and accounting standards. Fixed-income investments, or bonds, are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. High-yield bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that, at the time of purchase, are non-investment grade, involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher-rated fixed-income securities. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal amount invested.
SMA Managers within the Advisory Solutions UMA Models may act as a non-discretionary sub-advisor to Edward Jones and the Overlay Manager. The SMA Manager's level of discretion is based on the investment strategy each SMA Manager is providing to the Overlay Manager. The non-discretionary SMA Managers will only provide a model portfolio consistent with a general investment objective and are not tailored to any individual client.
