Brochure Summary

Overview

A. The Registrant (Brighton Jones, LLC) is a limited liability company formed on December 21, 1999, in the state of Washington. Brighton Jones became registered as an Investment Adviser in January 2000. Brighton Jones is principally owned by Charles Brighton and Jon Jones. Brighton Jones also conducts business as OpenPlan and Lenora Capital. All advisory services obtained through OpenPlan or Lenora Capital are provided by Brighton Jones. OpenPlan, founded in 2016 in the state of Washington, offers individual financial planning and retirement plan advisory services. Lenora Capital, founded in 2022 in the state of Washington, offers Brighton Jones clients private investment services. It is important to note that responses from Brighton Jones also pertain to OpenPlan and Lenora Capital unless specifically stated otherwise. B. BRIGHTON JONES PERSONAL CFO (PCFO) SERVICES For high-net-worth clients, Brighton Jones’ Personal Chief Financial Officer (PCFO) offering provides comprehensive and ongoing strategic wealth management services consisting of: financial planning and consulting; discretionary investment management; and continuous monitoring, each of which are described in more detail below. These services are provided on a fee-only basis, subject to the terms and conditions of an agreement between Brighton Jones and the client. Brighton Jones generally believes that these services should extend to a clients' entire balance sheet, ensuring that our advice considers their complete financial picture and aims to enhance overall wealth. However, clients have the option to request, in writing or through an addendum to their client service agreement, that certain assets be excluded (the “Excluded Assets”) from our advisory scope. In such cases, Brighton Jones will not incorporate these Excluded Assets into our financial planning and consulting or discretionary investment management services, and clients will bear sole responsibility for the performance of those assets. Excluded Assets are not subject to PCFO advisory fees. If Brighton Jones determines in its sole discretion that the client requires services that exceed the scope of the agreement, Brighton Jones will present the client with a separate agreement or addendum to memorialize the applicable terms and conditions of a proposed separate or expanded engagement. Annual PCFO fees include the services described below: Financial Planning and Consulting Services. Brighton Jones provides PCFO clients dedicated teams led by experienced Lead Advisors, serving select client groups across the United States. Our comprehensive approach involves thorough analysis of clients' total balance sheets within our PCFO framework. We provide tailored recommendations aligned with clients' investment objectives, values, risk tolerance, and financial and personal circumstances. Please see Item 8 below for discussion on certain limitations applicable to financial planning and consulting services. Discretionary Investment Management Services. Brighton Jones also assumes full discretionary authority over the investment and reinvestment of the client’s securities accounts, unless otherwise noted in an addendum to their PCFO agreement. Brighton Jones may buy, sell, trade and allocate in and among stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, cash / cash equivalents, sub-advisory accounts, investment subdivisions within variable annuity products, accounts with independent investment managers and/or programs (with or without discretion, depending upon the independent investment manager or program) and other securities or contracts relating to the same, on margin (only if written authorization by the client has been granted) or otherwise, consistent with the client’s then- current circumstances and investment objectives. As indicated in Item 16 below, clients receiving discretionary management may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on Brighton Jones’ discretionary authority. Continuous Monitoring and Reporting Services. Brighton Jones may also provide comprehensive reporting services through its designated online client portal which can incorporate all of the client’s investment assets, including those investment assets that are not part of the assets managed by Brighton Jones (the “Excluded Assets”). Should the client receive such reporting services, the client acknowledges and understands that with respect to the Excluded Assets, Brighton Jones’ service is limited to reporting services only and does not include investment management, review, or monitoring services, nor investment recommendations or advice. In the event the client desires that Brighton Jones provide financial planning and consulting or discretionary investment management services with respect to the Excluded Assets, the client may engage Brighton Jones to do so under the terms and conditions of their service agreement, or for a separate and/or additional fee pursuant to the terms and conditions of a separate agreement. OPENPLAN INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL PLANNING (IFP) SERVICES Brighton Jones, through OpenPlan, provides initial and ongoing strategic wealth management services consisting of: financial planning and consulting; optional discretionary investment management; and continuous monitoring as part of its IFP services for clients starting their wealth management journey. These services are provided on a fee-only basis, subject to the terms and conditions of an agreement between OpenPlan and the client. Unlike Brighton Jones’ PCFO service, OpenPlan clients are primarily responsible for the execution of the investment strategy provided by OpenPlan advisors. Financial Planning and Consulting Services. OpenPlan provides financial planning services (including investment and non-investment related matters, such estate planning, insurance planning, taxes, real estate, cash flow planning, etc.). Before engaging us to provide planning services, clients are generally required to enter into an agreement with us setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the portion of the fee that is due from the client prior to OpenPlan commencing services. Please see Item 8 below for discussion on certain limitations applicable to financial planning and consulting services. Discretionary Investment Management Services. Clients have the option to delegate discretionary investment management and execution of the investment plan to OpenPlan for a portion or all their assets for which OpenPlan provides financial planning and consulting services. These services are subject to the terms and conditions of a separate agreement, and a separate fee for the assets under management. Clients acknowledge that any assets for which OpenPlan is not specifically delegated as having discretionary investment management over, are considered Excluded Assets, and not subject to additional fees. As indicated in Item 16 below, clients receiving discretionary management may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on Brighton Jones’ discretionary authority. Annual Monitoring and Reporting Services. All IFP clients are provided access to eMoney, a third party financial planning software, so that they may continuously monitor portfolio performance. On an annual basis, or as specifically requested by the client, OpenPlan may review client asset allocation as compared to client investment objectives. For assets which the client has delegated discretionary authority, OpenPlan periodically executes or recommends execution of account transactions based upon such reviews. The client acknowledges and understands that with respect to the Excluded Assets, our service is limited to reporting services only and does not include investment management, review, or monitoring services, nor investment recommendations or advice. As such, the client, and not OpenPlan, shall be exclusively responsible for the investment performance of the Excluded Assets. In the event the client desires that we provide discretionary investment management services with respect to the Excluded Assets, the client may engage us to do so for a separate and/or additional fee pursuant to the terms and conditions of a separate agreement between us and the client.

If the plan sponsor chooses to engage OpenPlan in an ERISA Section 3(38) capacity, OpenPlan may provide the same services as described above, but may also: create specific asset allocation models that OpenPlan manages on a discretionary basis, which plan participants may choose in managing their individual retirement account; and/or modify the investment options made available to plan participants on a discretionary basis.
