SUMMARY SECTION
Bridge Builder Tax Managed International Equity Fund
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Bridge Builder Tax Managed International Equity Fund (the Fund or the International Equity Fund) is to seek to provide a tax-efficient investment return consisting of capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as annual program or administrative fees for participating in Edward Jones Advisory Solutions® (Advisory Solutions), Edward Jones Guided Solutions® (Guided Solutions) or Edward Jones Financial Advisor Managed Solutions (FA Managed Solutions) (collectively, the Advisory Programs), which are not reflected in the table and examples below.

Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (the Adviser) has contractually agreed, until at least October 28, 2025, to waive its management fees to the extent management fees to be paid to the Adviser exceed the management fees the Fund is required to pay the Funds sub-advisers (i.e., the Adviser does not receive any management fees from the Fund as a result of its waivers). This contractual agreement may not be terminated by the Adviser without the consent of the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Bridge Builder Trust (the Trust), except that the Adviser may terminate the agreement upon written notice to the Trust, effective as of the end of the expense limitation period ending October 28, 2025, if written notice is provided to the Trust by or before a date agreed to by the Board. Such waivers are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund. |
| (3) |
Other Expenses include acquired fund fees and expenses less than 0.01%. |
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Advisers agreement to waive fees until October 28, 2025). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |||||||||||||||
| $43 | $185 | $339 | $789 | |||||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities and other instruments, such as certain investment companies (see below), with economic characteristics that seek to track the performance of equity securities. The Fund primarily invests in non-U.S. companies. A non-U.S. company is a company economically tied to a country other than the United States. In determining whether a company is economically tied to a country other than the United States, the Adviser or a Sub-adviser will consider whether the company:
| ● |
Is organized under the laws of a country other than the United States; |
| ● |
Has a class of securities whose principal securities market is in a country other than the United States; |
| ● |
Has its principal office in a country other than the United States; |
| ● |
Derives 50% or more of its total revenue or profit from goods produced, sales made or services provided in one or more countries other than the United States; or |
| ● |
Maintains 50% or more of its assets in one or more countries other than the United States. |
Such a determination can also be based on the classifications assigned to a company by the Funds benchmark index provider.
The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization. The Fund invests principally in equity securities issued by companies in developed countries, but may also invest in companies in emerging markets or developing countries. The Fund may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). The Fund does not intend to hedge the currency exposure that may be created by its investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies, although a Sub-adviser (defined below) may consider currency risks as part of its investment process.
The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including other open-end or closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that have characteristics that are consistent with the Funds investment objective. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) that own and/or manage properties. From time to time, the Fund may also focus its investments in a particular country or geographic region, such as the United Kingdom or Japan.
The Funds portfolio is constructed by combining the investment styles and strategies of multiple sub-advisers that have been or will be retained by the Fund and the Adviser. The Fund implements the investment recommendations of the Sub-advisers through the use of Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric and, together with the Funds other sub-advisers, the Sub-advisers) as overlay manager appointed by the Adviser. In addition to acting as overlay manager, Parametric also serves as the direct indexing manager for the Fund. In this role, Parametric manages one or more allocated portions of the Fund pursuant to a strategy that is designed to provide similar exposure to certain designated indices, as described in additional detail below.
Each Sub-adviser (other than Parametric in its role as overlay manager) manages its allocated portion of the Funds portfolio by providing a model portfolio to Parametric on an ongoing basis that represents that Sub-advisers recommendation as to the securities to be purchased, sold or retained by the Fund. Parametric, as the overlay manager then constructs a portfolio for the Fund that represents the aggregation of the model portfolios of the Sub-advisers, including with respect to each direct indexing portion of the Fund, with the weighting of each Sub-advisers model in the total portfolio determined by the Adviser.
Each Sub-adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection processes in constructing its model portfolio. Pursuant to direction from the Adviser, Parametric has limited authority to vary from the models, primarily for the purpose of efficient tax management of the Funds securities transactions. Parametric seeks to manage the impact of taxes through active tax management strategies, including tax lot management, which impacts tax loss harvesting, capital gain deferral, and the minimization of wash

sales. The Adviser may also direct Parametric to adjust the portfolio to implement the Advisers forward-looking views regarding various portfolio characteristics or factors, or for risk management purposes. Parametric may also vary the portfolio implementation to seek trading cost efficiencies, portfolio rebalancing or other portfolio construction objectives as directed by the Adviser.
In connection with the construction of the Funds portfolio, the Adviser allocates Fund assets to the following Sub-advisers: J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMorgan), Parametric, Pzena Investment Management, LLC (Pzena), Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (TSW), and Walter Scott & Partners Limited (Walter Scott). The Adviser may adjust the weighting of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-advisers model at any time or make recommendations to the Board with respect to the hiring, termination, or replacement of a Sub-adviser.
Below is a summary of each Sub-advisers principal investment strategies.
JPMorgans 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 models 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.
Parametrics Principal Investment Strategies
In addition to acting as overlay manager, Parametric also serves as the direct indexing manager for the Fund. This strategy is designed to provide the Fund with exposure to the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and the MSCI EAFE Value Index while maximizing after-tax returns through a variety of tax management techniques. The strategy seeks to exceed its benchmark on an after-tax basis. The criterion for the selection of investments is inclusion within the MSCI EAFE Growth Index or the MSCI EAFE Value Index.
Pzenas Principal Investment Strategies
Pzena focuses on deep value investing, seeking to identify international securities that are trading at prices substantially below their intrinsic value but have solid long-term prospects. Pzena may also recommend investments in emerging markets securities. Pzena performs fundamental research using a bottom-up security selection process.
TSWs Principal Investment Strategies
TSW employs a relative value investment approach supported by rigorous fundamental analysis. TSWs 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.
3
Walter Scotts Principal Investment Strategies
Walter Scott seeks a favorable real rate of return over the long term. Walter Scott seeks stocks that will perform relatively well and will grow to a higher weight in the model portfolio. Walter Scott selects companies based on fundamental company analysis and a bottom-up research process. Walter Scott recommends the purchase of these companies with no near-term expectation of recommending the sale of such companies. Walter Scotts approach expects its model portfolio to realize low portfolio turnover.
Principal Risks
Since the Fund holds securities with fluctuating market prices, the value of the Funds shares varies as its portfolio securities increase or decrease in value. Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could go down as well as up. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks affecting the Fund that can cause a decline in value are set forth below. The risks are ordered in alphabetical order after the first eight risks, although the order of the risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.
| ● |
Market Risk. The overall market may perform poorly or the returns from the securities in which the Fund invests may underperform returns from the general securities markets, a particular securities market, or other types of investments. A variety of factors can influence underperformance and can have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including regulatory events, inflation, interest rates, government defaults, government shutdowns, war, regional conflicts, acts of terrorism, social unrest, and substantial economic downturn or recessions. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic, natural disaster, spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Funds performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. |
| ● |
Equity Securities Risk. The value of equity securities will rise and fall over short or extended periods of time in response to the activities of the company that issued them, general market conditions, and/or economic conditions. |
| ● |
Active Management Risk. A significant portion of the Fund is actively managed with discretion and may underperform market indices, including relevant benchmark indices, or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. In addition, to the extent that a Sub-advisers investment strategy uses a quantitative investment model to evaluate and recommend investment decisions for the Fund, the Fund can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the factors used in the model, the weight placed on each factor and changes from the factors historical trends. |
| ● |
Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of investing in foreign securities, including through ADRs and GDRs, can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency risk, political and economic instability, terrorism, armed conflicts and other geopolitical events, additional or fewer government regulations, the imposition of tariffs and other restrictions on trade or economic sanctions, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial reporting standards, fewer protections for passive investors and less stringent regulation of securities markets. Geopolitical or other events such as nationalization or expropriation could cause the loss of the Funds entire investment in one or more countries. In addition, periodic U.S. Government prohibitions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund. |
4
| ● |
Taxation Risk. The Fund is managed to seek to minimize tax consequences to shareholders, but there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to operate without incurring taxable income and gains to shareholders. The Fund will engage in tax management techniques such as tax loss harvesting, whereby securities are sold in order to generate capital losses to offset current and future capital gains. However, there are certain risks inherent with tax loss harvesting, including the possibility that such activity does not improve the Funds after-tax returns. During certain market conditions, such as lower volatility periods and periods of strong economic growth, the Funds ability to generate capital losses to offset capital gains may be limited, which would limit the Funds ability to implement its tax loss harvesting strategy. In addition, because loss harvesting continuously decreases the cost-basis of the Funds portfolio, there is a risk that opportunities to realize losses may decrease over time. Tax loss harvesting may also increase the Funds portfolio turnover rates. In addition, the wash sales rule will limit the Funds ability to currently recognize a loss from the tax loss harvesting strategy when selling and purchasing substantially identical assets within a 61-day window (i.e., a period beginning 30 days before the date of such purchase or the sale and ending 30 days after such date). In such a case, the basis of the newly purchased securities will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. |
| ● |
Overlay Manager Risk. The Fund implements the investment recommendations of the Sub-advisers through the use of an overlay manager appointed by the Adviser. Pursuant to direction from the Adviser, the overlay manager has limited authority to vary from the models. The Fund is subject to the risk that the performance of a portion of the Fund allocated to a particular Sub-adviser may deviate from the performance of that Sub-advisers model portfolio or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which that Sub-adviser retains trading authority. The overlay managers variation from a Sub-advisers model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance. |
| ● |
Currency Risk. Certain securities in which the Fund invests may be denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For this reason, changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Funds portfolio. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency loses value because the currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency gains value because the currency is worth more U.S. dollars. This risk, generally known as currency risk, means that a stronger U.S. dollar will reduce returns on foreign currency dominated securities for U.S. investors while a weak U.S. dollar will increase those returns. |
The Fund does not seek to hedge its currency risk. Accordingly, the Fund may experience losses (or gains) that would not have been experienced had the risk been hedged, due to declines (or increases) in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, although a Sub-adviser may consider currency risks as part of its investment process, its judgments in this regard may not always be correct.
| ● |
Geographic Focus Risk. To the extent that a significant portion of the Funds portfolio is invested in the securities of companies in a particular country or region, the Fund will be subject to greater risk of loss and price volatility than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments. The Fund may invest significant portions of its assets in the United Kingdom (the UK) and Japan, and therefore, the economic, political, social and environmental conditions of the UK and Japan generally will have a greater effect on the Funds performance than they would in a more geographically diversified fund. |
| ● |
American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts Risk. ADRs and GDRs have the same currency and economic risks as the underlying non-U.S. shares they represent. They are affected by the risks associated with non-U.S. securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. |
5
| ● |
Counterparty Risk. When the Fund enters into an investment contract, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the other party may be unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations, which could adversely impact the value of the Fund. |
| ● |
Direct Indexing Risk. Because the portion of the Fund allocated to Parametric is managed so that its total return closely corresponds with that of the MSCI EAFE Growth Index and the MSCI EAFE Value Index, the Fund faces a risk of poor performance if either index declines generally or performs poorly relative to U.S. equity indexes, other international equity indexes or individual stocks, the stock of companies which comprise either index fall out of favor with investors, or an adverse company specific event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, negatively affects the stock price of one of the larger companies in either index. |
| ● |
Emerging Markets Securities Risk. A fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers based in countries with emerging market economies is subject to greater levels of foreign investment risk than a fund investing primarily in more-developed foreign markets since emerging market securities may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in developed foreign countries. |
| ● |
Growth Style Risk. The Fund is managed partially in a growth investment style. Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and may underperform other types of investments or investment styles, as different market styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market conditions and other factors. Growth stocks are stocks of companies expected to increase revenues and earnings at a faster rate than their peers. |
| ● |
Investment Company and Exchange-Traded Fund Risk. An investment company, including an ETF, in which the Fund invests may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategies effectively. Large purchase or redemption activity by shareholders of such an investment company might negatively affect the value of the investment companys shares. The Fund must also pay its pro rata portion of an investment companys fees and expenses. |
| ● |
Investment Strategy Risk. There is no assurance the Funds investment objective will be achieved. Investment decisions may not produce the expected results. The value of the Fund may decline, and the Fund may underperform other funds with similar objectives and strategies. |
| ● |
Issuer-Specific Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole or other similar securities. |
| ● |
Larger Company Risk. Larger capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. |
| ● |
Liquidity Risk. Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit the Funds ability to value securities, or prevent the Fund from selling securities at desirable times or prices. |
| ● |
Multi-Manager and Multi-Style Management Risk. The Fund allocates its assets to multiple Sub-advisers believed to have complementary styles. These investment styles, at times, may not be complementary and could result in more exposure to certain types of securities. In addition, a Sub-adviser may implement its model portfolio for its other accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager appointed by the Adviser for the Fund, or after submitting its model portfolio to the overlay manager but before the overlay manager has had an opportunity to place some or all of the |
6
|
trades necessary for the Fund to implement the model portfolio. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the Fund receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the Sub-adviser for its other accounts, including less favorable prices. |
| ● |
Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the REITs and by the quality of tenants credit. |
| ● |
Redemption Risk. The Fund may experience losses when selling securities to meet redemption requests. This risk is greater for larger redemption requests or redemption requests during adverse market conditions. Large redemptions of the Funds shares may force the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so and may cause the Funds portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs to rise, which may negatively affect the Funds performance and have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders. |
| ● |
Regulatory and Judicial Risk. The regulation of security transactions in the United States is a rapidly changing area of law. Securities markets are subject to legislative, regulatory, and judicial actions which could have a substantial adverse effect on the Funds performance. In addition to United States regulation, the Fund may be affected by the actions of foreign governments, which could include actions such as the imposition of capital or currency controls, the nationalization of a company or industry of which the Fund owns securities, or the imposition of taxes that could have an adverse effect on security prices. |
| ● |
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller capitalization companies (including mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies) may have greater risks, as these companies may have less operating history, narrower product or customer markets, and fewer managerial and financial resources than more established companies. Smaller capitalization stocks may be more volatile and have less liquidity. |
| ● |
Value Style Risk. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and may underperform other types of investments or investment styles, as different market styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market conditions and other factors. Value stocks are believed to be undervalued relative to their projected underlying profitability. |

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE) is an unmanaged index of over 900 companies, and is a generally accepted benchmark for major overseas markets. The Funds portfolio holdings may differ significantly from the securities held in the relevant index and, unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an unmanaged index does not reflect deductions for transaction costs, taxes, management fees or other expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index.
