Types of Advisory Services

ERISA §3(38) INVESTMENT MANAGER
R.T. Jones acts as the investment manager under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (“ERISA”) §3(38) to corporate retirement plans where it is granted discretionary authority
by the plan sponsors to select and monitor the investment options for the plans from those available
through the plans’ administrator.
As an ERISA §3(38) manager, R.T. Jones will develop an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”)
for the plan or review the plan’s IPS. Once the IPS is established and approved, R.T. Jones will
review and select the investment options available through the plan’s administrator.
DISCRETIONARY SEPARATE ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
R.T. Jones offers discretionary separate account management services, managing client accounts
using its proprietary Artesys investment models. The Artesys investment models invest in mutual
funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Please see Item 8 for a general description of the
Artesys investment models.
R.T. Jones primarily provides separate account management services to retirement and pension
plan participants with plans administered through OneAmerica Retirement Services
(“OneAmerica”). R.T. Jones also provides separate account management services to individual
and retirement plan accounts held through Axos Advisor Services (“Axos”), in some cases acting
as subadviser to the account.
Clients have the opportunity to impose certain allowable restrictions on the management of their
account, and to change such restrictions, subject to R.T. Jones’s acceptance of any such restriction
or change. Specifically,
clients may request reasonable restrictions on investments held within
their account, provided any such restriction is not inconsistent with R.T. Jones’s stated investment
strategy or philosophy, or is not fundamentally inconsistent with the nature or operation of the
model. Clients should e-mail R.T. Jones at the e-mail address shown on the cover of this Brochure
if they would like to impose any restrictions on R.T. Jones’ management of their account or change
any existing restrictions. Clients must understand that certain investment restrictions will be
inconsistent with the nature of R.T. Jones’ separate account management services and that R.T.
Jones may reject a new client, or terminate an existing client, if an investment restriction required
by the client is fundamentally inconsistent with R.T. Jones’ strategy or the nature or operation of
the selected model. If R.T. Jones accepts a client’s requested restriction, it will continue to manage
the Account in the client’s best interest, but is not responsible for any deviation in performance
between the client’s Account as restricted and an Account invested according to the same model
portfolio, without the restriction. The performance of an Account with restrictions may differ from
the performance of other client Accounts without restrictions, possibly producing lower overall
results. Evaluation of the reasonableness of a restriction request may result in delays in the
acceptance or management of a client’s Account. R.T. Jones may reevaluate restrictions on a case
by case basis, which may result in the rejection of a restriction that was previously accepted. Please
note that changing a restriction may result in buy or sell activity in a client’s Account. If a material
change occurs to a client’s goals, financial circumstances, or investment objectives, or a client
wishes to impose or modify reasonable restrictions on the management of the Account, it is the
client’s responsibility to promptly update the client’s profile information or to call R.T. Jones at
the phone number on the cover of this Brochure.
