Choosing a model

First, we'll help you select a portfolio objective. This will serve as a guide for your overall investment strategy by determining the recommended allocation ranges for investments you should have in your portfolio – based on your risk tolerance, timeline and goals. You'll work with your financial advisor to determine which model best aligns with those goals. After that, professionals will manage your chosen model, making the day-to-day investment decisions to keep your account aligned with your portfolio objective and our guidance. You'll also have a specialized management team reviewing your model for tax management opportunities.

UMA models

Each model contains a mix of mutual funds and/or ETFs as well as separately managed allocations (SMAs), which are professionally managed portfolios of individual stocks and bonds. This could provide tax efficiencies and the flexibility to restrict certain types of investments within your account.

Staying on track

We'll monitor your account and automatically rebalance if it drifts from your model's target allocations. This helps ensure your investments stay aligned with our guidance and your needs and goals. In addition to regular account statements that detail your progress, Quarterly Performance Reports will be made available and you'll meet with your financial advisor at least once a year to review your progress.

How you'll pay for services

If your portfolio objective is Balanced toward Growth & Income, Balanced toward Growth, Growth Focus or All-Equity Focus, you'll need a minimum initial investment of $300,000 to open an Advisory Solutions UMA Models account. For account with Income Focus or Balanced toward Income portfolio objectives, a minimum initial investment of $500,000 is required.

The Program Fee begins at 1.35% and the Portfolio Strategy Fee begins at 0.19%. These fees are tiered so additional invested assets are subject to lower fees. The Program Fee includes your financial advisor's services, trading costs, performance reporting, evaluation and selection of investments for the program by Edward Jones research professionals, and other services to keep your account aligned with our guidance. The Portfolio Strategy Fee covers professional portfolio management and overlay management of your model. The fees do not include the internal expenses of the mutual funds and ETFs you own, or the cost of trades executed at a broker-dealer other than Edward Jones. SMA Manager fees will also apply. Paying an ongoing fee can make expenses more predictable but can be more expensive over time.

For additional details about fees and expenses associated with Edwards Jones Advisory Solutions, please see the Program Brochure and Fee Schedule.
