| 6. | The following paragraphs are hereby added to the sub-section of the Prospectus entitled “Bridge Builder Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund – Principal Investment Strategies” under the section entitled “Additional Information Regarding the Funds’ Investment Objectives and Strategies”: |
Boston Partners’ Principal Investment Strategies
Boston Partners primarily invests in mid-capitalization companies. The strategy of Boston Partners is grounded in bottom-up fundamental analysis. Boston Partners seeks to identify companies with attractive valuations, sound business fundamentals, and improving business momentum. Boston Partners’ strategy seeks to add value through bottom-up stock selection. Boston Partners’ investment philosophy is that (1) low valuation stocks outperform high valuation stocks; (2) companies with strong fundamentals, e.g. high and sustainable returns on invested capital, outperform companies with weak fundamentals; and (3) stocks with positive business momentum, e.g. rising earnings estimates, outperform stocks with negative business momentum.
Boston Partners seeks to construct a well-diversified portfolio that consistently possesses these three characteristics; Boston Partners aims to limit downside risk, preserve capital, and maximize the power of compounding.
LSV’s Principal Investment Strategies
LSV uses a deep value, bottom-up investment approach, employing fundamental and qualitative criteria to evaluate and select securities of mid-capitalization companies that it feels are trading at a substantial discount to their intrinsic value. LSV follows an active investment strategy, focusing on using data and financial information and combining such information with the rigor of a quantitative model.
LSV’s active investment strategy uses a quantitative investment model to evaluate and make investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund in a bottom-up, contrarian value approach. The primary components of the quantitative model are:
| ● | traditional value measures, such as price-to-earnings, price-to-cash flow, and price-to-book ratios; |
| ● | indicators that rank companies on long-term past performance using a combination of market indicators and fundamentals; |
| ● | focus on short-term signs of improvement to help identify whether the market is beginning to change its assessment of an undervalued stock in a positive position; and |
| ● | control of incremental risk relative to the benchmark index. |
All such indicators are measured relative to the overall universe of mid cap companies.
Vaughan Nelson’s Principal Investment Strategies
Vaughan Nelson primarily invests in mid-capitalization companies with a focus on those companies meeting Vaughan Nelson’s return expectations. Vaughan Nelson uses a bottom-up value-oriented investment process in constructing its allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio.

Vaughan Nelson seeks companies with the following characteristics, although not all of the companies selected will have these attributes:
| ● | Companies earning a positive return on capital with stable-to-improving returns; |
| ● | Companies valued at a discount to their asset value; and |
| ● | Companies with an attractive and sustainable dividend level. |
Vaughan Nelson employs a value-driven investment philosophy that selects stocks selling at a relatively low value based on business fundamentals, economic margin analysis, and discounted cash flow models. Vaughan Nelson selects companies that it believes are out of favor or misunderstood. Vaughan Nelson narrows its investment universe by using value-driven screens to create a research universe of companies in its desired market capitalization range. Vaughan Nelson uses fundamental analysis to construct a portfolio that, in its opinion, is made up of quality companies with the potential to provide significant increases in share price over a three-year period. Vaughan Nelson will generally sell a security when it reaches Vaughan Nelson’s price target or when the issuer shows a change in financial condition, competitive pressures, poor management decisions, or internal or external forces reducing future expected returns from the investment thesis.
