JPMorgan's Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal conditions, JPMorgan will recommend investments in the equity securities of foreign companies of various market capitalizations, including foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies. In constructing its model portfolio, JPMorgan may recommend that a substantial part of the model's assets be invested in just one region or country. In making determinations regarding investments in the securities of a particular country or currency, JPMorgan will evaluate the yield and potential growth of an investment, as well as the relationship between the currency and the U.S. dollar. JPMorgan may increase or decrease the emphasis on a type of security, sector, country or currency, based on its analysis of a variety of economic factors, including fundamental economic strength, earnings growth, quality of management, sector growth, credit quality and interest rate trends. JPMorgan may recommend securities where the issuer is located in one country but the security is denominated in the currency of another.

TSW's Principal Investment Strategies

TSW employs a relative value investment approach supported by rigorous fundamental analysis. TSW's model portfolio is characterized by broad diversification on both a geographic and sector basis, below-average valuation measures, and low annual turnover. TSW currently anticipates recommending investments in countries other than the United States. TSW will recommend primarily common stocks of companies listed on foreign securities exchanges of varying sizes as measured by assets, sales or market capitalization, and will recommend primarily securities of companies domiciled in developed markets.

The following paragraphs are hereby added to the sub-section entitled "Bridge Builder Tax Managed International Equity Fund - Principal Investment Strategies" under the section entitled "Additional Information Regarding the Funds' Investment Objectives and Strategies":

JPMorgan's Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal conditions, JPMorgan will recommend investments in the equity of foreign companies of various market capitalizations, including foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies. JPMorgan may recommend that a substantial part of the model's assets be invested in just one region or country. JPMorgan may recommend investments in companies (or governments) in the following countries or regions: the Far East (including Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia), Western Europe (including the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia and Spain), Australia, Canada and other countries or areas that JPMorgan may select from time to time. A substantial part of JPMorgan's recommendations may be in U.S. companies based in countries that are represented in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index. However, JPMorgan may also recommend investments in companies or governments in emerging markets.

In making determinations regarding investments in the securities of a particular country or currency, JPMorgan will evaluate the yield and potential growth of an investment, as well as the relationship between the currency and the U.S. dollar. JPMorgan may increase or decrease the emphasis on a type of security, sector, country or currency, based on its analysis of a variety of economic factors, including fundamental economic strength, earnings growth, quality of management, sector growth, credit quality and interest rate trends. JPMorgan may recommend securities where the issuer is located in one country but the security is denominated in the currency of another.

TSW's Principal Investment Strategies

TSW currently anticipates recommending investments in countries other than the United States. TSW emphasizes established companies in individual foreign markets and seeks to stress companies and markets that it believes are undervalued. TSW expects capital growth to be the predominant component of the total return of its model portfolio.

In constructing its diversified model portfolio, TSW employs a relative value process utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods designed to outperform the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East ("EAFE") Index. TSW also performs rigorous

fundamental analysis. TSW employs a consistent sell discipline which includes a stock being sold when the investment thesis is no longer valid or another stock presents a more attractive opportunity.

* The total value and number of accounts managed by a portfolio manager may include sub-accounts of asset allocation, multi-managed and other accounts.

As of June 30, 2024, the above-listed portfolio managers did not beneficially own shares of the Fund.

Conflicts of Interest. The potential for conflicts of interest exists when portfolio managers manage other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies as the Fund ("Similar Accounts"). Potential conflicts may include, for example, conflicts between investment strategies and conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities.

Responsibility for managing the JPMorgan's and its affiliates' clients' portfolios is organized according to investment strategies within asset classes. Generally, client portfolios with similar strategies are managed by portfolio managers in the same portfolio management group using the same objectives, approach and philosophy. Underlying sectors or strategy allocations within a larger portfolio are likewise managed by portfolio managers who use the same approach and philosophy as similarly managed portfolios. Therefore, portfolio holdings, relative position sizes and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across similar portfolios and strategies, which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest.

JPMorgan and/or its affiliates perform investment services, including rendering investment advice, to varied clients. JPMorgan and/or its affiliates and its or their directors, officers, agents, and/or employees may render similar or differing investment advisory services to clients and may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to any of its other clients that differs from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to another client or group of clients. One or more of JPMorgan's other client accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose, or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which another client account may have an interest from time-to-time.

2

JPMorgan and/or its affiliates, and any of its or their directors, partners, officers, agents or employees, may also buy, sell, or trade securities for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMorgan and/or its affiliates, within their discretion, may make different investment decisions and other actions with respect to their own proprietary accounts than those made for client accounts, including the timing or nature of such investment decisions or actions. Further, JPMorgan is not required to purchase or sell for any client account securities that it, and/or its affiliates, and any of its or their employees, principals, or agents may purchase or sell for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMorgan and/or its affiliates or its clients.

JPMorgan and/or its affiliates may receive more compensation with respect to certain Similar Accounts than that received with respect to the Fund or may receive compensation based in part on the performance of certain Similar Accounts. This may create a potential conflict of interest for JPMorgan and its affiliates or the portfolio managers by providing an incentive to favor these Similar Accounts when, for example, placing securities transactions. In addition, JPMorgan or its affiliates could be viewed as having a conflict of interest to the extent that JPMorgan or an affiliate has a proprietary investment in Similar Accounts, the portfolio managers have personal investments in Similar Accounts or the Similar Accounts are investment options in JPMorgan's or its affiliates' employee benefit plans. Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of investment opportunities because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon JPMorgan and its affiliates by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. A potential conflict of interest also may be perceived to arise if transactions in one account closely follow related transactions in a different account, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by a second account. If JPMorgan or its affiliates manage accounts that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, JPMorgan or its affiliates could be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.

As an internal policy matter, JPMorgan or its affiliates may from time to time maintain certain overall investment limitations on the securities positions or positions in other financial instruments JPMorgan or its affiliates will take on behalf of its various clients due to, among other things, liquidity concerns and regulatory restrictions. Such policies may preclude the Fund from purchasing particular securities or financial instruments, even if such securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the Fund's objectives.

The goal of JPMorgan and its affiliates is to meet their fiduciary obligation with respect to all clients. JPMorgan and its affiliates have policies and procedures that seek to manage conflicts. JPMorgan and its affiliates monitor a variety of areas, including compliance with fund guidelines, review of allocation decisions and compliance with JPMorgan's Codes of Ethics and JPMorgan Chase and Co.'s Code of Conduct. With respect to the allocation of investment opportunities, JPMorgan and its affiliates also have certain policies designed to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time.

Compensation. JPMorgan's compensation programs are designed to align the behavior of employees with the achievement of its short- and long-term strategic goals, which revolve around

3

client investment objectives. This is accomplished, in part, through a balanced performance assessment process and total compensation program, as well as a clearly defined culture that rigorously and consistently promotes adherence to the highest ethical standards.

In determining portfolio manager compensation, JPMorgan uses a balanced discretionary approach to assess performance against four broad categories: (1) business results; (2) risk and control; (3) customers and clients; and (4) people and leadership.

These performance categories consider short-, medium- and long-term goals that drive sustained value for clients, while accounting for risk and control objectives. Specifically, portfolio manager performance is evaluated against various factors including the following: (1) blended pre-tax investment performance relative to competitive indices, generally weighted more to the long-term; (2) individual contribution relative to the client's risk/return objectives; and (3) adherence with JPMorgan's compliance, risk and regulatory procedures.

Feedback from JPMorgan's risk and control professionals is considered in assessing performance.

JPMorgan maintains a balanced total compensation program comprised of a mix of fixed compensation (including a competitive base salary and, for certain employees, a fixed cash allowance), variable compensation in the form of cash incentives, and long-term incentives in the form of equity based and/or fund-tracking incentives that vest over time. Long-term awards comprise up to 60% of overall incentive compensation, depending on an employee's pay level.

Long-term awards are generally in the form of time-vested JPMorgan Chase & Co. Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). However, portfolio managers are subject to a mandatory deferral of long-term incentive compensation under JPMorgan's Mandatory Investor Plan ("MIP"). The MIP provides for a rate of return equal to that of the Fund(s) that the portfolio managers manage, thereby aligning portfolio manager's pay with that of their client's experience/return. 100% of the portfolio manager's long-term incentive compensation is eligible for MIP with 50% allocated to the specific Fund(s) they manage, as determined by their respective manager. The remaining portion of the overall amount is electable and may be treated as if invested in any of the other Funds available in the plan or can take the form of RSUs.

Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC ("TSW"), 6641 W. Board Street, Ste. 600, Richmond, VA 23230, is the Sub-adviser for an allocated portion of the Tax Managed International Equity Fund pursuant to a Sub-advisory Agreement with the Adviser. Founded in 1969, TSW is a Delaware limited liability company and an SEC registered investment adviser. TSW is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Perpetual Limited. Perpetual's head office is located at: Level 18, 123 Pitt Street, Angel Place, Sydney, NSW 2000 Australia.

Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Managers and Ownership of Fund Shares. The table below identifies, for the portfolio manager of the Fund, the number of accounts managed (excluding the Fund) and the total assets in such accounts, within each of the following categories: registered investment companies, other pooled investment vehicles, and other accounts. To the extent that any of these accounts are subject to a performance-based advisory fee, this information is

As of June 30, 2024, the above-listed portfolio manager did not beneficially own shares of the Fund.

Conflicts of Interest. The portfolio manager is also responsible for managing other account portfolios in addition to the Fund.

The portfolio manager's management of other accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with his management of the Fund investments on the one hand and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The side-by-side management of the Fund and other accounts presents a variety of potential conflicts of interests. For example, the portfolio manager may purchase or sell securities for one portfolio and not another. The performance of securities within one portfolio may differ from the performance of securities in another portfolio.

In some cases, another account managed by the portfolio manager may compensate TSW based on performance of the portfolio held by that account. Performance-based fee arrangements may create an incentive for TSW to favor higher-fee-paying accounts over other accounts, including accounts that are charged no performance-based fees, in the allocation of investment opportunities. TSW has adopted policies and procedures that seek to mitigate such conflicts and to ensure that all clients are treated fairly and equally.

Another potential conflict could arise in instances in which securities considered as investments for the Fund are also appropriate investments for other investment accounts managed by TSW. When a decision is made to buy or sell a security by the Fund and one or more of the other accounts, TSW may aggregate the purchase or sale of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a manner it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. However, a variety of factors can determine whether a particular account may participate in a particular aggregated transaction. Because of such differences, there may be differences in invested positions and securities held in accounts managed according to similar strategies. When aggregating orders, TSW employs procedures designed to ensure accounts will be treated in a fair and equitable manner and no account will be favored over any other. TSW has implemented specific policies and procedures to address any potential conflicts.

Compensation. TSW's compensation strategy is to provide competitive base salaries commensurate with an individual's responsibility and provide incentive bonus awards that may significantly exceed base salary. Annually, the TSW compensation committee is responsible for determining the

5

discretionary bonuses, utilizing an analytical and qualitative assessment process. While it is not a formulaic decision, factors used to determine compensation include overall firm success, investment team performance and individual contribution. A portion of the bonus (up to 35%) may be deferred into TSW Funds, Perpetual stock, or a combination of the two.
