Pricing Groups

Pricing Group Terms and Conditions 

A: Pricing Group Basics 

Pricing Groups: At Edward Jones, the program fees for your fee-based accounts are calculated based on the value of the assets you hold in those accounts. Fee-based accounts include Edward Jones Guided Portfolios® and managed accounts (e.g., MyCompass by Edward JonesTM), but not traditional brokerage accounts.

Program fee rates are tiered, meaning that as the value of your accounts increases, your effective fee rate is reduced.

To help you further benefit from this, Edward Jones can group your accounts and the accounts of other eligible clients at your Edward Jones branch to form a Pricing Group. If you hold more than one fee-based account at the same Edward Jones branch, Edward Jones will automatically combine the value of those accounts to calculate your program fee rate. When you join a Pricing Group, all of your accounts will be included in that Pricing Group – even if you open new accounts after you join.

The combined value of all fee-based accounts within a Pricing Group will be used to calculate the effective fee rate, which is then applied individually to each account.

Pricing Group Types: There are three types of Pricing Groups:

  • Relationship Pricing Groups
  • Historic Pricing Groups
  • Family Tree Groups

If you leave a Pricing Group, all of your accounts will be removed. Joint fee-based accounts will be grouped with the accounts of the primary accountholder. If you are the primary owner of a joint account, you are responsible for getting consent from the other owners to include or remove the joint account in the Pricing Group. You are the primary accountholder of a joint account if your name is listed first on that account's statements. You may only be in a single Pricing Group.

Privacy: When your accounts are grouped with others in a Pricing Group, other members may be able to infer the existence of your accounts and give an indication of the total value of the accounts in the Pricing Group. By agreeing to be in a Pricing Group, you consent to the disclosure of this information.

Edward Jones takes your privacy seriously. For more details on how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information, please refer to the Edward Jones Client Information Privacy Notice , available from your Edward Jones financial advisor.

B: Types of Pricing Groups 

Relationship Pricing Groups: If you agree to be in a Relationship Group with other Edward Jones clients, Edward Jones will create a Pricing Group consisting of people in that Relationship Group whose account(s) are at the same Edward Jones branch (a "Relationship Pricing Group"). Your Edward Jones financial advisor can provide you with information about the eligibility of corporate, association, partnership, and formal living trust accounts in Relationship Pricing Groups.

While Relationship Groups and Relationship Pricing Groups often go hand-in-hand, they are not the same thing. A Relationship Group is a group of accounts that you voluntarily form with the accounts of other clients to help plan and work toward shared financial goals. You will know if you are in a Relationship Group because you would have agreed to it with your Edward Jones financial advisor, received confirmation at the time it was created, and your regular account statements will list the other accounts in your Relationship Group and their owners.

If you're part of a Relationship Group, you can ask not to be included in a Relationship Pricing Group with other members of your Relationship Group.

If you are in a Historic Pricing Group, joining a Relationship Pricing Group will remove you from that Historic Pricing Group. If you are in a Family Tree Group, you must remove yourself from that group in order to be eligible for a Relationship Pricing Group.

Historic Pricing Groups: If you were in a Pricing Group which was created because you shared a last name with other members of that group before July 12, 2025 (a "Historic Pricing Group"), you will continue to be in that group until you or all the other members leave or join a different Pricing Group. New members cannot be added to Historic Pricing Groups. Once someone leaves a Historic Pricing Group, they cannot be re-admitted.

Family Tree Groups: You have the option of creating a Pricing Group consisting of you and other eligible family members who consent to being in the group (a "Family Tree Group"). You are eligible to be in a Family Tree Group with anyone who has at least one of the following relationship types with you:

  • Spouse or Common-law partner
  • Child or Stepchild
  • Parent or Stepparent
  • Sibling
  • Grandparent or Great Grandparent
  • Grandchild or Great Grandchild
  • In-laws (Mother-, Father-, Brother-, Sister-, Son-,or Daughter-in-law)
  • Dependent

Your Edward Jones financial advisor can provide you with information about the eligibility of corporate, association, partnership, and formal living trust accounts in Family Tree Groups.

You only need to have one qualifying relationship with one other person in a Family Tree Group to be eligible for that group. Eligibility will be determined at the time the Family Tree Group is created. However, if you have previously been in a Family Tree Group with someone but no longer meet one of the relationship types listed above, you will still qualify to be in a Family Tree Group with each other.

Family Tree Groups will be created at Edward Jones' earliest convenience following their receipt of the necessary enrollment consents.

C: Additional Terms for All Pricing Groups 

Removal from a Pricing Group: If you join a new Pricing Group, you will be automatically removed from any Pricing Group you were in before. You will be removed from a Relationship Pricing Group if you are no longer a member of the qualifying Relationship Group. You can also choose to leave a Pricing Group at any time by giving written notice to your Edward Jones financial advisor. Edward Jones will remove you from a Pricing Group as soon as practicable following receipt of that notice. Removing yourself from a Pricing Group may affect the combined market value of the group and could change the program fee rate for you and each remaining account in that Pricing Group.

Government Entities: Government entities are eligible for Historic Pricing Groups and Relationship Pricing Groups, but not Family Tree Groups. Government entities can only form a Relationship Pricing Group with other government entities that use the same tax ID for tax reporting, are in the same Relationship Group, and are held at the same Edward Jones branch. Government entities cannot be grouped with individual persons or non-government entities.

Eligible and Excluded Clients: Individual, joint, informal trust, sole proprietorship, guardianship, committeeship, TFSA, and registered retirement accounts are all eligible to be in a Pricing Group. Your Edward Jones financial advisor can provide you with information about the eligibility of corporate, association, partnership, and formal living trust accounts in Pricing Groups. For more information about the eligibility of these account types, please contact your Edward Jones financial advisor. Other account types, including, but not limited to, formal testamentary trust and investment club accounts, are excluded from Pricing Groups.
