Your role as a plan sponsor is more challenging than ever, and it’s not something to face alone. We bring the resources and thought leadership from Bank of America Corporation and its affiliates to bear in helping you provide a strong, healthy and fully compliant program that runs smoothly, engages your employees and makes your job easier. We can help you focus on the areas that may be helpful to plan success, including Fiduciary Advisory Services 1 and Education and Plan Services 2 appropriate for your plan.
1 Fiduciary Advisory Services is an investment advisory program sponsored by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (also referred to as “MLPF&S” or “Merrill”). Merrill offers a broad range of brokerage, investment advisory and other services. There are important differences between brokerage and investment advisory services, including the type of advice and assistance provided, the fees charged, and the rights and obligations of the parties. It is important to understand the differences, particularly when determining which service or services to select. Please refer to the Fiduciary Advisory Services Brochure for information on the program including a description of the series and related fees.
2 Education and Plan Services are non-fiduciary services required for Advisor Alliance clients and optional for MLII clients.
3 IPS service is not available for FAS Discretionary. The plan sponsor is responsible for the approval and final adoption of the IPS.

If we identify a need we can’t service ourselves, we can connect you with the people and resources to help you. Through our network of advisors, we strive to deliver strategies to help you manage the day-to-day and long-term responsibilities required in pursuing your institution’s goals. As we work together to address your evolving needs, we can help make the broad capabilities of Bank of America Corporation feel more accessible.
At Jelley, Udrisky & Associates investment process is built upon four pillars:
Asset Allocation: We work with you to apportion your investments into multiple asset classes that reflect your long-term objectives.
Diversification: Among and within asset classes, diversification is a risk-management tool that can help mitigate both short- and long-term risk.
Research: In addition to using BofA Global Research, we study research from other applicable resources to stay abreast of current thinking and points of view in global investment markets. This is crucial to our helping your decision making.
Investment Selection: To help you select the most appropriate opportunities for your portfolios, we typically concentrate on an investment universe that includes domestic and international stocks, bonds, cash and short-term instruments, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Additionally, Jelley, Udrisky & Associates can offer extended capabilities in selecting strategies to manage concentrated stock, helping clients through liquidity events, developing retirement income planning strategies, and pursuing wealth transfer strategies.
