SUMMARY SECTION

Bridge Builder Tax Managed Large Cap Fund

Investment Objective

The investment objective of Bridge Builder Tax Managed Large Cap Fund (the "Fund" or the "Large Cap Fund") is to seek to provide a tax-efficient investment return consisting of capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as annual program or administrative fees for participating in Edward Jones Advisory Solutions® ("Advisory Solutions"), Edward Jones Guided Solutions® ("Guided Solutions") or Financial Advisor Managed Solutions ("FAMS") (collectively, the "Advisory Programs"), which are not reflected in the table and examples below.

Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees

None

Other Expenses(2)

0.06 %

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses

(1)

Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed, until at least October 28, 2024, to waive its management fees to the extent management fees to be paid to the Adviser exceed the management fees the Fund is required to pay the Fund's sub-advisers (i.e., the Adviser does not receive any management fees from the Fund as a result of its waivers). This contractual agreement may not be terminated by the Adviser without the consent of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Bridge Builder Trust (the "Trust"), except that the Adviser may terminate the agreement upon written notice to the Trust, effective as of the end of the expense limitation period ending October 28, 2024, if written notice is provided to the Trust by or before April 15, 2024. Such waivers are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund.

(2)

Other Expenses include acquired fund fees and expenses less than 0.01%.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Adviser's agreement to waive management fees until October 28, 2024). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$31 $140 $260 $609

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in the securities of large capitalization companies and other instruments, such as certain investment companies (see below), with economic characteristics that seek to track the performance of securities of large capitalization companies. The Fund defines large capitalization companies as companies whose market capitalizations at the time of purchase typically fall within the range of the Russell 1000® Index (as of April 28, 2023, companies with capitalizations greater than $2.4 billion). The market capitalization of the companies included in the Russell 1000® Index will change with market conditions. While the Fund primarily invests in equity securities of large capitalization companies, it may also invest

1

in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in securities issued by U.S. and foreign entities. The Fund may also invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") or Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs"). The Fund does not intend to hedge the currency exposure that may be created by its investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies, although a Sub-adviser (defined below) may consider currency risks as part of its investment process.

The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including other open-end or closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that have characteristics that are consistent with the Fund's investment objective. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), which are companies that own and/or manage real estate properties. As of September 29, 2023, the Fund had significant exposure to securities of companies in the information technology sector.

The Fund's portfolio is constructed by combining the investment styles and strategies of multiple sub-advisers that have been or will be retained by the Adviser. The Fund implements the investment recommendations of the Fund's sub-advisers through the use of Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC ("Parametric" and, together with the Fund's other sub-advisers, the "Sub-advisers") as overlay manager appointed by the Adviser. In addition to acting as overlay manager, Parametric also serves as the direct indexing manager for the Fund. In this role, Parametric manages one or more allocated portions of the Fund pursuant to a strategy that is designed to provide similar exposure to certain designated indices, as described in additional detail below.

Each Sub-adviser (other than Parametric in its role as overlay manager) manages its allocated portion of the Fund's portfolio by providing a model portfolio to Parametric on an ongoing basis that represents that Sub-adviser's recommendation as to the securities to be purchased, sold or retained by the Fund. Parametric, as the overlay manager, then constructs a portfolio for the Fund that represents the aggregation of the model portfolios of the Sub-advisers, including with respect to each direct indexing portion of the Fund, with the weighting of each Sub-adviser's model in the total portfolio determined by the Adviser.

Each Sub-adviser may use its own proprietary and external research and securities selection processes in constructing its model portfolio. Pursuant to direction from the Adviser, Parametric has limited authority to vary from the models, primarily for the purpose of efficient tax management of the Fund's securities transactions. Parametric seeks to manage the impact of taxes through active tax management strategies, including tax lot management, which impacts tax loss harvesting, capital gain deferral, and the minimization of wash sales. The Adviser may also direct Parametric to adjust the portfolio to implement the Adviser's forward-looking views regarding various portfolio characteristics or factors, or for risk management purposes. Parametric may also vary the portfolio implementation to seek trading cost efficiencies, portfolio rebalancing or other portfolio construction objectives as directed by the Adviser.

In connection with the construction of the Fund's portfolio, the Adviser allocates Fund assets for each investment strategy to the following Sub-advisers: Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC ("Barrow Hanley"), ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("ClearBridge"), Parametric, and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("T. Rowe Price"). The Adviser may adjust the weighting of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-adviser's model at any time or make recommendations to the Board with respect to the hiring, termination, or replacement of a Sub-adviser.

Below is a summary of each Sub-adviser's principal investment strategies.

Barrow Hanley's Principal Investment Strategies

Barrow Hanley recommends companies that are temporarily undervalued for reasons Barrow Hanley can identify, understand, and believe will improve over time. In its valuation framework, Barrow Hanley strives to construct portfolios that trade at levels below the market across multiple metrics (e.g., price/earnings, price/book value) while simultaneously delivering an above-market dividend yield.

ClearBridge's Principal Investment Strategies

ClearBridge recommends investments primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies. ClearBridge typically recommends investments in medium and large capitalization companies but may also recommend investments in small-capitalization companies. ClearBridge may recommend that up to 20% of its allocated portion of the Fund's assets be invested in the equity securities of foreign issuers, including through ADRs.

In constructing its model portfolio, ClearBridge seeks to provide long-term appreciation of capital with an investment strategy consisting of individual company selection and management of cash reserves. ClearBridge looks to recommend investments among a strong core of growth and value stocks, consisting primarily of blue-chip companies dominant in their industries. ClearBridge may also recommend investments in companies with prospects for sustained earnings growth and/or a cyclical earnings record.

2

Parametric's Principal Investment Strategies

In addition to acting as overlay manager, Parametric also serves as the direct indexing manager for the Fund. This strategy is designed to provide the Fund with similar exposure to the S&P 500® Growth Index and S&P 500® Value Index while maximizing after-tax returns through a variety of tax management techniques. The strategy seeks to exceed its benchmark on an after-tax basis. The criterion for the selection of investments is inclusion within the S&P 500® Growth Index or S&P 500® Value Index.

T. Rowe Price's Principal Investment Strategies

T. Rowe Price seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through investments in common stocks of growth companies. In constructing its model portfolio for the Fund, T. Rowe Price generally looks for companies having the following characteristics: above-average growth in earnings and cash flow, ability to sustain earning momentum even during economic slowdowns, and a lucrative niche in the economy and ability to expand even during times of slow economic growth. T. Rowe Price will normally recommend that at least 80% of its allocated portion of the Fund's net assets be invested in the securities of large-capitalization companies.

Principal Risks

Since the Fund holds securities with fluctuating market prices, the value of the Fund's shares varies as its portfolio securities increase or decrease in value. Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could go down as well as up. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks affecting the Fund that can cause a decline in value are set forth below. The risks are ordered in alphabetical order after the first six risks, although the order of the risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.

Market Risk. The overall market may perform poorly or the returns from the securities in which the Fund invests may underperform returns from the general securities markets, a particular securities market, or other types of investments. A variety of factors can influence underperformance and can have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including regulatory events, inflation, interest rates, government defaults, government shutdowns, war, regional conflicts, acts of terrorism, social unrest, and substantial economic downturn or recessions. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic, natural disaster, spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.

Equity Securities Risk. The value of equity securities will rise and fall over short or extended periods of time in response to the activities of the company that issued them, general market conditions, and/or economic conditions.

Active Management Risk. A significant portion of the Fund is actively managed with discretion and may underperform market indices, including relevant benchmark indices, or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. In addition, to the extent that a Sub-adviser's investment strategy uses a quantitative investment model to evaluate and recommend investment decisions for the Fund, the Fund can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the factors used in the model, the weight placed on each factor and changes from the factors' historical trends.

Larger Company Risk. Larger capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Taxation Risk. The Fund is managed to seek to minimize tax consequences to shareholders, but there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to operate without incurring taxable income and gains to shareholders. The Fund will engage in tax management techniques such as tax loss harvesting, whereby securities are sold in order to generate capital losses to offset current and future capital gains. However, there are certain risks inherent with tax loss harvesting, including the possibility that such activity does not improve the Fund's after-tax returns. During certain market conditions, such as lower volatility periods and periods of strong economic growth, the Fund's ability to generate capital losses to offset capital gains may be limited, which would limit the Fund's

3

ability to implement its tax loss harvesting strategy. In addition, because loss harvesting continuously decreases the cost-basis of the Fund's portfolio, there is a risk that opportunities to realize losses may decrease over time. Tax loss harvesting may also increase the Fund's portfolio turnover rates. In addition, the "wash sales" rule will limit the Fund's ability to currently recognize a loss from the tax loss harvesting strategy when selling and purchasing substantially identical assets within a 61-day window (i.e., a period beginning 30 days before the date of such purchase or the sale and ending 30 days after such date). In such a case, the basis of the newly purchased securities will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.

Overlay Manager Risk. The Fund implements the investment recommendations of the Sub-advisers through the use of an overlay manager appointed by the Adviser. Pursuant to direction from the Adviser, the overlay manager has limited authority to vary from the models. The Fund is subject to the risk that the performance of a portion of the Fund allocated to a particular Sub-adviser may deviate from the performance of that Sub-adviser's model portfolio or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which that Sub-adviser retains trading authority. The overlay manager's variation from a Sub-adviser's model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance.

American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts Risk. ADRs and GDRs have the same currency and economic risks as the underlying non-U.S. securities they represent. They are affected by the risks associated with non-U.S. securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies.

Counterparty Risk. When the Fund enters into an investment contract, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the other party may be unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations, which could adversely impact the value of the Fund.

Currency Risk. Certain securities in which the Fund invests may be denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For this reason, changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund's portfolio. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency loses value because the currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency gains value because the currency is worth more U.S. dollars. This risk, generally known as "currency risk," means that a stronger U.S. dollar will reduce returns on foreign currency dominated securities for U.S. investors while a weak U.S. dollar will increase those returns.

The Fund does not seek to hedge its currency risk. Accordingly, the Fund may experience losses (or gains) that would not have been experienced had the risk been hedged, due to declines (or increases) in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, although a Sub-adviser may consider currency risks as part of its investment process, its judgments in this regard may not always be correct.

Direct Indexing Risk. Because the portion of the Fund allocated to Parametric is managed so that its total return closely corresponds with that of the S&P 500® Growth Index and S&P 500® Value Index, the Fund faces a risk of poor performance if the S&P 500® Growth Index and S&P 500® Value Index decline generally or perform poorly relative to other U.S. equity indexes or individual stocks, the stocks of companies which comprise the S&P 500® Growth Index and S&P 500® Value Index fall out of favor with investors, or an adverse company specific event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, negatively affects the stock price of one of the larger companies in the S&P 500® Growth Index and S&P 500® Value Index.

Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of investing in foreign securities can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency risk, political and economic instability, terrorism, armed conflicts and other geopolitical events, additional or fewer government regulations, the imposition of tariffs and other restrictions on trade or economic sanctions, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial reporting standards, fewer protections for passive investors, and less stringent regulation of securities markets. Geopolitical or other events such as nationalization or expropriation could cause the loss of the Fund's entire investment in one or more countries. In addition, periodic U.S. Government prohibitions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund.

Growth Style Risk. The Fund is managed partially in a growth investment style. Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and may underperform other types of investments or investment styles, as different market styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market conditions and other factors. Growth stocks are stocks of companies expected to increase revenues and earnings at a faster rate than their peers.

4

Investment Company and Exchange-Traded Fund Risk. An investment company, including an ETF in which the Fund invests may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategies effectively. Large purchase or redemption activity by shareholders of such an investment company might negatively affect the value of the investment company's shares. The Fund must also pay its pro rata portion of an investment company's fees and expenses.

Investment Strategy Risk. There is no assurance the Fund's investment objective will be achieved. Investment decisions may not produce the expected results. The value of the Fund may decline, and the Fund may underperform other funds with similar objectives and strategies.

Issuer-Specific Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole or other similar securities.

Liquidity Risk. Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit the Fund's ability to value securities, or prevent the Fund from selling securities at desirable times or prices.

Multi-Manager and Multi-Style Management Risk. The Fund allocates its assets to multiple Sub-advisers believed to have complementary styles. These investment styles, at times, may not be complementary and could result in more exposure to certain types of securities. In addition, a Sub-adviser may implement its model portfolio for its other accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager appointed by the Adviser for the Fund, or after submitting its model portfolio to the overlay manager but before the overlay manager has had an opportunity to place some or all of the trades necessary for the Fund to implement the model portfolio. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the Fund receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the Sub-adviser for its other accounts, including less favorable prices.

Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the REITs and by the quality of tenants' credit.

Redemption Risk. The Fund may experience losses or realize taxable gains when selling securities to meet redemption requests. This risk is greater for larger redemption requests or redemption requests during adverse market conditions. Large redemptions of the Fund's shares may force the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so and may cause the Fund's portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs to rise, which may negatively affect the Fund's performance and have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.

Regulatory and Judicial Risk. The regulation of security markets, transactions and portfolio companies is subject to change. Such regulatory changes and judicial actions could have a substantial adverse effect on the Fund's performance.

Sector Focus Risk. Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in a particular sector of the market, the Fund may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect that sector. As a result, the Fund's share price may fluctuate more widely than the share price of a fund that is more diversified across numerous sectors.

Information Technology Sector Risk. From time to time, the Fund may focus its investments in the information technology sector. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins, and may be subject to extensive regulatory requirements causing considerable expense and delay. In addition, information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller capitalization companies (including mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies) may have greater risks, as these companies may have less operating history, narrower product or customer markets, and fewer managerial and financial resources than more established companies. Smaller capitalization stocks may be more volatile and have less liquidity.

Value Style Risk. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and may underperform other types of investments or investment styles, as different market styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market conditions and other factors. Value stocks are believed to be undervalued relative to their projected underlying profitability.
