Supplement dated August 21, 2026
to the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) dated October 27, 2025, as supplemented
This supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the SAI and should be read in conjunction with the SAI.
| A. | The Board of Trustees of the Bridge Builder Trust (“Trust”), on behalf of the International Equity Fund, has approved the termination of the investment sub-advisory agreement among Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”), BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) and the Trust. Accordingly, all references and information related to BlackRock, with respect to the International Equity Fund, in the SAI are hereby deleted in their entirety. |
| B. | Additionally, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has approved an investment sub-advisory agreement among the Adviser, Russell Investment Management, LLC (“RIM”), and the Trust, pursuant to which RIM now serves as a sub-adviser to an allocated portion of the International Equity Fund. Marathon Asset Management Limited, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (d/b/a MFS Investment Management), Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, Pzena Investment Management, LLC, and WCM Investment Management, LLC will continue to be sub-advisers to the International Equity Fund. |
Accordingly, the SAI is hereby supplemented and revised as follows:
| 1. | The following disclosure is hereby added to the sub-section entitled “International Equity Fund” under the section entitled “The Funds’ Investment Teams”: |
Russell Investment Management, LLC (“RIM”), 401 Union Street, 18th Floor, Seattle, Washington 98101, is the Sub-adviser for an allocated portion of the Fund pursuant to a Sub-advisory Agreement with the Adviser. RIM is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and was founded in 1982. RIM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Russell Investments Group, Ltd., through which the limited partners of certain private equity funds affiliated with TA Associates Management, L.P. (“TA Associates”) indirectly have a majority ownership interest through alternative investment vehicles (the “TA Alternative Investment Vehicles”) and the limited partners of certain private equity funds affiliated with Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. (“Reverence Capital”) (the “Reverence Capital Funds”) indirectly have a significant minority controlling ownership interest through certain Reverence Capital Funds and alternative investment vehicles (the “Reverence Capital Entities”) in RIM and its affiliates (“Russell Investments”). The TA Alternative Investment Vehicles are ultimately controlled by TA Associates Cayman, LLC, and the Reverence Capital Entities are ultimately controlled by Milton Berlinski, Alexander Chulack and Peter Aberg. Certain of Russell Investments’ employees and Hamilton Lane Advisors, LLC, also hold minority, non-controlling positions in Russell Investments Group, Ltd. For its services as a Sub-adviser, RIM is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund.
Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Managers and Ownership of Fund Shares. The table below identifies, for each portfolio manager of the Fund, the number of accounts managed (excluding

As of June 30, 2026, the above-listed portfolio managers did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.
Conflicts of Interest. RIM does not believe that there are any material conflicts with respect to its management of the Fund and other accounts managed by RIM’s portfolio managers. Regardless, to address potential conflicts of interest, RIM has adopted policies and procedures, including those which address the fair allocation of investment opportunities across client portfolios, which are designed and implemented to help ensure that all clients are treated fairly and equitably over time, regardless of their strategy, fee arrangement, or the influence of their owners or beneficiaries. In support of these policies, RIM has also implemented trade oversight and review procedures designed to monitor whether certain portfolios are being favored over other portfolios.
Compensation. RIM portfolio managers (“RIM Managers”) are compensated by RIM with salaries, annual incentive awards (paid in cash and/or awarded as part of an equity incentive plan) and profit-sharing contributions. Salaries are fixed annually and are driven by the marketplace. Although compensation is not directly affected by an increase in fund assets, RIM Managers are responsible for aiding in client retention and assistance in RIM assets under management growth.
Annual incentive awards for the RIM Managers are assessed by senior management based on the following:
| ● | Qualitative measures such as a RIM Manager’s quality of decisions made for the accounts, contributions to client services efforts and improvement of RIM’s investment process. RIM Managers are evaluated on the performance of the total portfolio and all related decisions. |
| ● | Quantitative measures (performance). RIM Managers are evaluated based on quantitative performance assessments for managing the Fund. Performance assessments are customized to the specific strategies RIM implements for the Fund. For completion portfolio strategies, |
2
| performance is evaluated relative to a target benchmark identified by the Adviser and the strategy’s impact on total Fund performance. For cash equitization strategies, performance is evaluated relative to a target benchmark identified by the Adviser and internal metrics that assess the success of RIM’s implementation. Evaluation is predominantly based on 1-year and 3-year measurement horizons. A 2-year horizon may be used for a fund that does not have 3-years of performance history. A 5-year horizon may be used for a fund with longer absolute return assessment components. |
RIM Manager evaluations, salary and annual incentive award recommendations are conducted and reviewed by the Co-Heads of Portfolio Management. Russell Investments’ compensation committee approves salaries and annual incentive awards after the Co-Heads of Portfolio Management’s recommendations have been reviewed by the Chief Investment Officer.
The equity incentive plan provides key professionals with shares and/or options, the values of which are tied to Russell Investments’ financial performance. Awards under the equity incentive plan are based on the expected future contribution to the success of Russell Investments and vest over a number of years. Based on Russell Investments’ Board of Directors’ approval, the shares may also be eligible for dividend payments. The market value of the equity incentive plan is reviewed and approved annually by Russell Investments’ Board of Directors.
RIM Managers earning over a specified amount of total cash compensation (salary plus annual incentive awards) are eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows the RIM Manager to voluntarily elect to defer receipt of a portion of his/her cash compensation for a given year. Deferred amounts are placed at the RIM Manager’s discretion in either a retirement or scheduled withdrawal account with distributions made accordingly.
For the profit-sharing plan, contributions by Russell Investments will be made at the discretion of Russell Investments’ Board of Directors based on a profitability assessment (which may include factors in addition to achieving the operating profit plan). The annual determination of whether or not Russell Investments’ profitability warrants a discretionary contribution will be solely within the Russell Investments’ Board of Directors’ discretion and not based on a static formula. Russell Investments matches employee contributions to the profit-sharing plan up to 5% of eligible base pay.
