THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, L.L.L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions)
NOTE 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership” or "JFC"). The financial position of the Partnership’s subsidiaries in Canada as of AugustMay 31, 20202021 and November 30, 20192020 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the results for the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended AugustMay 31, 20202021 and 20192020 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partnership Capital Subject to Mandatory Redemption, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because of the timing of the Partnership’s financial reporting process.
The Partnership’s principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”), is a registered broker-dealer and investment adviser in the United States (“U.S.”), and one of Edward Jones’ subsidiaries is a registered broker-dealer in Canada. Through these entities, the Partnership primarily serves individual investors in the U.S. and Canada. Edward Jones is a retail brokerage business and primarily derives revenues from fees for providing investment advisory and other account services to its clients, fees for assets held by clients, the distribution of mutual fund shares, and commissions for the purchase or sale of securities and the purchase of insurance products. The Partnership conducts business throughout the U.S. and Canada with its clients, various brokers, dealers, clearing organizations, depositories and banks. For financial information related to the Partnership’s 2 operating segments for the three- and six-month periods ended June 25, 2021 and June 26, 2020, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Trust services are offered to Edward Jones’ U.S. clients through Edward Jones Trust Company (“Trust Co.”), a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership. Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC, a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, provides investment advisory services to the eight sub-advised mutual funds comprising the Bridge Builder® Trust ("BB Trust").Trust. Passport Research, Ltd., a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, provides investment advisory services to the sub-advised Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the "Money Market Fund").
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (“GAAP”), which require the use of certain estimates by management in determining the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The currentGiven the ongoing uncertainty of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the ongoing response of the U.S. governmentrelated events ("COVID-19") and various state, local and foreign governments have adversely affected global business activities and have resulted in significant uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in financial markets. Given the significant global health, market, employment and economic impacts of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of its duration, the Partnership cannot reliably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on financial markets or its financial results. While markets in the second and third quarters of 2020 experienced a significant rebound compared to the end of the first quarter of 2020, the federal funds effective rate remains near zero, and further economic or market events could negatively impact the Partnership's business operations and financial results in fiscal 2020.. The recent financial impacts of COVID-19 were included in the Partnership's estimates for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of September 25, 2020. The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events for recognition andor disclosure through the date these Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and identified no matters requiring disclosure.
The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim operations.
There have been no material changes to the Partnership’s significant accounting policies or disclosures of recently issued accounting standards as described in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the "Annual Report"), except as disclosed in Note 2 herein.. The results of operations for the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.2021. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.

NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the “incurred loss” credit losses framework with a new accounting standard that requires management's measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on a broader range of reasonable and supportable information for lifetime credit loss estimates. Effective January 1, 2020, the Partnership adopted the standard with an immaterial expected credit loss and no adjustment to the opening balance of Partnership capital. See Note 3 for additional information.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangement service contracts (including those without a software license) with the current guidance for internal-use software licenses. Companies could elect to adopt the standard either prospectively or retrospectively. The Partnership adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis without a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3 – CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
The Partnership individually assessed the current expected credit loss for assets in scope of ASU 2016-13 below.
Receivables from Clients
Receivables from clients is primarily composed of margin loan balances. The value of securities owned by clients and held as collateral for these receivables is not reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Collateral held as of September 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020 was $3,953 and $3,915, respectively, and was not repledged or sold. The Partnership considers these financing receivables to be of good credit quality due to the fact that these receivables are primarily collateralized by the related client investments.
To estimate expected credit losses on margin loans, the Partnership applied the collateral maintenance practical expedient by comparing the amortized cost basis of the margin loans with the fair value of collateral at the reporting date. Margin loans are limited to a fraction of the total value of the securities held in the client's account against those loans. In accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules, the Partnership requires, in the event of a decline in the market value of the securities in a margin account, the client to deposit additional securities or cash so that, at all times, the loan to the client is no greater than 75% of the value of the securities in the account (or to sell a sufficient amount of securities in order to maintain this percentage). The Partnership, however, generally imposes a more stringent maintenance requirement, which requires that the loan to the client be no greater than 65% of the value of the securities in the account. As such, the Partnership reasonably expects that the borrower will be able to continually replenish collateral securing the financial asset and does not expect the fair value of collateral to fall below the value of margin loans and, as a result, the Partnership considers credit risk related to these receivables to be minimal. The fair value of collateral was higher than the amortized cost basis for virtually all margin loans as of September 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020, and the expected credit loss for those loans was zero for each period. In limited circumstances, a margin loan may become undercollateralized. When this occurs, the Partnership records a reserve for the undercollateralized portion of the loan, which was an immaterial amount as of September 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020.
Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell
The Partnership participates in short-term resale agreements collateralized by government and agency securities. These transactions are reported as collateralized financing and are carried at cost with accrued interest in receivable from mutual funds, insurance companies and other within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The fair value of the underlying collateral, plus accrued interest, must equal or exceed 102% of the carrying amount of the transaction in U.S. agreements and must equal or exceed 100% of the carrying amount of the transaction in Canada agreements. It is the Partnership’s policy to have such underlying resale agreement collateral delivered to the Partnership or deposited in its accounts at its custodian banks.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

|
To estimate expected credit losses on the resale agreements, the Partnership applied the collateral maintenance practical expedient by comparing the amortized cost basis of the resale agreements with the fair value of collateral at the reporting date. The counterparties are all financial institutions that the Partnership considers to be reputable and reliable, and the Partnership reasonably expects the counterparties will be able to continually replenish collateral securing the financial asset and does not expect the fair value of collateral to fall below the value of the resale agreements. The fair value of collateral, plus accrued interest, was 102% of the related assets in U.S. agreements and 100% in Canada agreements as of September 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020, and the expected credit loss was zero for each period.
Partnership Loans
The Partnership makes loans available to those general partners and, in limited circumstances, subordinated limited partners who require financing for some or all of their Partnership capital contributions as discussed in more detail in Note 7. General partners and subordinated limited partners must repay any amount of principal and interest outstanding on their Partnership loans prior to receiving a return of their Partnership capital. The loan value never exceeds the value of capital allocated to the partner, and there has been no historical loss on Partnership loans. As such, the risk of loss is remote, and the expected credit loss was zero as of September 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020.
Receivables from Revenue Contracts with Customers
The majority of the Partnership's receivables are collateralized financial assets, including advisory program fees, retirement fees, mutual fund and insurance service fees, and fund advisor fees, because the fees are paid out of client accounts or third-party products consisting of cash and securities. Due to the size of the fees in relation to the value of the cash and securities in accounts or funds, the collateral value always exceeds the amortized cost basis of the receivables, resulting in a remote risk of loss. In addition, the receivables have a short duration, generally due within 30 to 90 days, and there is no historical evidence of market declines that would cause the fair value of the underlying collateral to decline below the amortized cost of the receivables. The Partnership considered current conditions, and there is not a foreseeable expectation of an event or change which would result in the receivables being undercollateralized or unpaid. The expected credit loss for receivables from revenue contracts with customers was zero as of September 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020.
NOTE 42 – LEASES

While the rights and obligations for leases that have not yet commenced are not significant, the Partnership typicallyregularly enters into branch office leases for new locations regularly. Given the current state of the global economy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Partnership has temporarily paused entering into new branch lease arrangements.office leases.
NOTE 53 – RECEIVABLES AND REVENUE
As of SeptemberJune 25, 2021 and December 31, 2020, collateral held for receivables from clients was $4,400 and $4,035, respectively, and collateral held for securities purchased under agreements to resell was $1,101 and $1,743, respectively. As the fair value of the collateral either exceeded or was at least 100% of the amortized cost, the expected credit loss was 0 for each period. Additionally, partnership loan values remained below the value of capital allocated to partners, resulting in an expected credit loss of 0 as of June 25, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
As of June 25, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $512$647, $563 and $470, respectively, of the receivable from clients balance and $277$325, $285 and $291, respectively, of the receivable from mutual funds, insurance companies and other balance related to revenue contracts with customers. The related fees are paid out of client accounts or third-party products consisting of cash and securities, and the collateral value of those accounts continues to exceed the amortized cost basis of these receivables, resulting in a remote risk of loss. The expected credit loss for receivables from contracts with customers was 0 as of June 25, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The Partnership derived 13%11% and 12% of its total revenue for both of the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 25, 20202021, respectively, and 13% and 14% of its total revenue for both of the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended September 27, 2019June 26, 2020, respectively, from one1 mutual fund company.

NOTE 75 – PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION
The Partnership makes loans available to those general partners and, in limited circumstances, subordinated limited partners (in each case, other than members of the Executive Committee, as defined in the Partnership’s Twentieth Amended and Restated Agreement of Registered Limited Liability Limited Partnership, dated August 6, 2018 (the “Partnership Agreement”)), who require financing for some or all of their Partnership capital contributions. In limited circumstances a general partner may withdraw from the Partnership and become a subordinated limited partner while he or she still has an outstanding Partnership loan. It is anticipated that, of the future general and subordinated limited partnership capital contributions (in each case, other than for Executive Committee members) requiring financing, the majority will be financed through Partnership loans. Loans made by the Partnership to such partners are generally for a period of one year but are expected to be renewed and bear interest at the interest rate defined ingreater of the loan documents.Prime Rate for the last business day of the prior fiscal month or 3.25%. The Partnership recognizes interest income for the interest earned related to these loans. The outstanding amount of Partnership loans is reflected as a reduction to total Partnership capital. As of SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the outstanding amount of Partnership loans was $363$395 and $360,$341, respectively.

NOTE 86 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
As a result of its activities as a U.S. broker-dealer, Edward Jones is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and capital compliance rules of the FINRAFinancial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") Rule 4110. Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward Jones must maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $0.25 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. The net capital rules also provide that Edward Jones’ partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting net capital would be less than minimum requirements. Additionally, certain withdrawals require the approval of the SEC and FINRA to the extent they exceed defined levels, even though such withdrawals would not cause net capital to be less than minimum requirements.
The Partnership’s Canada broker-dealer subsidiary is a registered broker-dealer regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (“IIROC”). Under the regulations prescribed by IIROC, the Partnership’s Canada broker-dealer subsidiary is required to maintain minimum levels of risk-adjusted capital, which are dependent on the nature of the Partnership’s Canada broker-dealer subsidiary’s assets and operations.

NOTE 97 – CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership is involved, from time to time, in various legal and regulatory matters, including arbitrations, class actions, other litigation, and examinations, investigations and proceedings by governmental authorities, self-regulatory organizations and other regulators, which may result in losses. These matters include:
Retirement Plan Litigation. On August 19, 2016, JFC, Edward Jones and certain other defendants were named in a putative class action lawsuit (McDonald v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, by a participant in the Edward D. Jones & Co. Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). The lawsuit alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Retirement Plan participants and seeks declaratory and equitable relief and monetary damages on behalf of the Retirement Plan. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the McDonald lawsuit which was granted in part dismissing the claim against JFC and denied in part as to all other defendants on January 26, 2017.
On November 11, 2016, a substantially similar lawsuit (Schultz, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.) was filed in the same court. The plaintiffs consolidated the two lawsuits by adding the Schultz plaintiffs to the McDonald case, and the Schultz action was dismissed. The plaintiffs filed their first amended consolidated complaint on April 28, 2017. On December 13, 2018, the court entered a preliminary order approving a class action settlement agreement reached among the parties. Following a fairness hearing held on April 18, 2019, the court entered judgment on April 22, 2019 in which it granted final approval of the settlement, effected a full release of claims by the settlement class in favor of the defendants, and dismissed the consolidated lawsuit with prejudice. On June 14, 2019, the lone objector filed an appeal to the judgment approving the settlement. On January 31, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit denied the objector's appeal and affirmed the district court's approval of the class action settlement. On February 6, 2020, the objector petitioned the Court of Appeals for a rehearing, which was denied on March 3, 2020. A petition for certiorari the objector filed on May 11, 2020 seeking review of the Court of Appeals' decision by the U.S. Supreme Court was denied by the Supreme Court on October 5, 2020.
Wage-and-Hour Class Action. On March 13, 2018, JFC and Edward Jones were named as defendants in a purported collective and class action lawsuit (Bland, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P, et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by four former financial advisors. The lawsuit was brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as Missouri and Illinois law and alleges that the defendants unlawfully attempted torecoup training costs from departing financial advisors and failed to pay all overtime owed to financial advisor trainees among other claims. The lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory and liquidated damages. On March 19, 2019, the court entered an order granting the defendants' motion to dismiss all claims, but permitting the plaintiffs to amend and re-file certain of their claims. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 3, 2019. On March 30, 2020, the court partially granted the defendants' renewed motion to dismiss the amended complaint and dismissed seven of the ten causes of action it purported to state. The court's order eliminated from the case any claims that rely upon the firm's contractual right to recoup training costs as well as related claims for declaratory relief. It also dismissed various state law claims. JFC and Edward Jones deny the allegations in the remaining counts and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations in this lawsuit.
Securities Class Action. On March 30, 2018, Edward Jones and its affiliated entities and individuals were named as defendants in a putative class action (Anderson, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The lawsuit was brought under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Exchange Act, as well as Missouri and California law and alleges that the defendants inappropriately transitioned client assets from commission-based accounts to fee-based programs. The plaintiffs requested declaratory, equitable, and exemplary relief, and compensatory damages. On July 9, 2019, the district court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit in its entirety without prejudice. On July 29, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which eliminated certain affiliated entities and individuals as defendants, withdrew the claims under the Securities Act, added claims under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"), and certain additional state law claims, and reasserted the remaining claims with modified allegations. In response to the

The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal ofappealed the district court's order dismissingdismissal of certain of their state law claims but did not appeal the case.dismissal of the remaining claims. On March 4, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's decision, holding the district court has jurisdiction over the state law claims that were the subject of the plaintiffs' appeal, and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings on those claims. On May 14, 2021, the Ninth Circuit panel denied defendants' April 19, 2021 petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc. On May 20, 2021, defendants filed a motion to stay further proceedings pending defendants' filing of a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which the Ninth Circuit granted on May 21, 2021. Edward Jones and its affiliated entities and individuals deny the plaintiffs' allegations and intend to continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit on appeal.lawsuit.
Discrimination Class Action. On May 24, 2018, Edward Jones and JFC were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit (Bland v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by a former financial advisor under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, alleging that the defendants discriminated against the former financial advisor and other financial advisors and financial advisor trainees on the basis of race. On July 27, 2018, two named plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding allegations of discrimination and retaliation under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and retaliation under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. On November 26, 2018, threeThree named plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint.complaint on November 26, 2018 and a third amended complaint on December 30, 2020.

Item 1. | Financial Statements, continued |
Reimbursement Class Action. On April 25, 2019, Edward Jones and JFC were named as defendants in a putative class action (Watson, et al. v. The Jones Financial Companies L.L.L.P., et al.) filed by two former financial advisors in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County. Plaintiffs allege that defendants did not reimburse financial advisors and financial advisor trainees in California for certain categories of business expenses, which plaintiffs allege violates the California Labor Code and California Unfair Competition Law. The lawsuit seeks damages and restitution as well as attorneys' fees and costs and equitable and injunctive relief. On February 19, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking the court's approval of a proposed class action settlement reached by the parties. On June 5,November 16, 2020, the court granted preliminaryfinal approval of the proposed settlement. Administration of the settlement is substantially complete.
In addition to these matters, the Partnership provides for potential losses that may arise related to other contingencies. The Partnership assesses its liabilities and contingencies utilizing available information. The Partnership accrues for potential losses for those matters where it is probable that the Partnership will incur a potential loss to the extent that the amount of such potential loss can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification No. 450, Contingencies. This liability represents the Partnership’s estimate of the probable loss at SeptemberJune 25, 2020,2021, after considering, among other factors, the progress of each case, the Partnership's experience with other legal and regulatory matters and discussion with legal counsel, and is believed to be sufficient. The aggregate accrued liability is within the accounts payable, accrued expenses and other line of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition was $108 as of September 25, 2020 and may be adjusted from time to time to reflect any relevant developments.
For such matters where an accrued liability has not been established and the Partnership believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, as well as for matters where an accrued liability has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is both reasonably possible and estimable, the current estimated aggregated range of additional possible loss is up to $22$13 as of SeptemberJune 25, 2020.2021. This range of reasonably possible loss does not necessarily represent the Partnership's maximum loss exposure as the Partnership was not able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for all matters.
Further, the matters underlying any disclosed estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly. While the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, the Partnership believes that its established liabilities at SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 are adequate, and the liabilities arising from such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership. However, based on future developments and the potential unfavorable resolution of these matters, the outcome could be material to the Partnership’s future consolidated operating results for a particular period or periods.

NOTE 119 – OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Partnership does not offset financial instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. However, the Partnership enters into master netting arrangements with counterparties for securities purchased under agreements to resell that are subject to net settlement in the event of default. These agreements create a right of offset for the amounts due to and due from the same counterparty in the event of default or bankruptcy.
The following table shows the Partnership's securities purchased under agreements to resell as of:

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and the financial condition of the Partnership. Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 – Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 26, 2021, and Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Partnership’s Annual Report. All amounts are presented in millions, except as otherwise noted.
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership broadly categorizes its net revenues into four categories: fee revenue, trade revenue, net interest and dividends revenue (net of interest expense) and other revenue. In the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, fee revenue is composed of asset-based fees and account and activity fees. Asset-based fees are generally a percentage of the total value of specific assets in client accounts. These fees are impacted by client dollars invested in and divested from the accounts which generate asset-based fees and changes in market values of the assets. Account and activity fees and other revenue are impacted by the number of client accounts and the variety of services provided to those accounts, among other factors. Trade revenue is composed of commissions and principal transactions revenue. Commissions are earned from the purchase or sale of mutual fund shares and equities, as well as the purchase of insurance products. Principal transactions revenue primarily results from the Partnership's distribution of, and participation in, principal trading activities in municipal obligations, over-the-counter corporate obligations and certificates of deposit. Trade revenue is impacted by the number of financial advisors, trading volume (client dollars invested), mix of the products in which clients invest, size of trades, margins earned on the transactions and market volatility. Net interest and dividends revenue is impacted by the amount of cash and investments, receivables from and payables to clients, the variability of interest rates earned and paid on such balances, the number of Interests outstanding, and the balances of Partnership loans.
COVID-19
In the second half of March
Beginning in 2020, markets and interest rates experienced sudden declines due to the global uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the federal funds effective rate remains near zero, markets in the second and third quarters of 2020 experienced a significant rebound compared to the end of the first quarter of 2020. However, the full extent of the health crisis and related economic impact is not yet known, and further economic or market events could negatively impact the Partnership's financial results in fiscal 2020.
The Partnership has several ongoing measures in response to COVID-19 to support the health and well-being of its clients and associates, as well as measures to optimize firm resources and control costs. The ongoing measures include, among other things, closure and phased reopening of branches to public access, establishing the technological capability for branches to serve clients remotely, virtually all home-office associates working remotely with limited exceptions, temporary financial support for certain financial advisors, temporary hiring reductions, additional paid time off for associates related to COVID-19, a travel halt, and a pause on new branch and home office real estate projects. The Partnership is continuing to assess these and other existing firm measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and may consider additional potential measuresthe global governmental response, vaccination, and related impact on society and the economy have resulted in response to furthersignificant uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in financial markets (see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Partnership’s Annual Report, respectively). Further economic orand market events. Further, in responseevents related to COVID-19 the Partnership continues to review its business continuity plans and has had ongoing conversations with third-party providers to ensure the viability of theircould negatively impact our future business operations supporting the Partnership. The Partnership has not experienced any significant disruptions in providing services to clients. The impact of COVID-19, as well as the Partnership's response to it, continues to evolve and is uncertain.financial results.

Operating expenses increased 6% to $6,436 in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 2019, primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense, partially offset by decreases in other operating expenses primarily as a result of reductions in discretionary spending, a travel halt, and a pause on certain strategic firm initiatives and real estate projects. expense.

Despite the increase in operating expenses, the Partnership continued to supporting new financial advisorsexperience ongoing cost savings from limits on travel and trainees. Home office and branch compensation increased primarilyin-person events due to an increase in the average number of personnel to support increased client activity, certain strategic firm initiatives to enhance the client experience, and growth of the Partnership’s financial advisor network, as well as higher wages and healthcare costs.COVID-19.
Overall, the increase in net revenue, offset by the increase in operating expenses, generated income before allocations to partners of $907,$823, a 12%39% increase compared tofrom the first nine monthshalf of 2019.
Given the global health, market, employment and economic uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses to it, the Partnership cannot reliably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on financial markets or its financial results, including how its clients, their trading activity, the financial markets or government regulators will respond to such uncertainty. The Partnership's composition of net revenue is heavily weighted towards asset-based fee revenue, which is highly dependent on market performance and asset values. Due to the heightened market volatility from the global pandemic and its effects on the economy and the Partnership's current and prospective clients, the Partnership could experience declines in client assets under care, and net new asset growth may continue to slow in fiscal 2020, which could result in declines in future asset-based fee revenue and overall net revenue.
Given the global health, market, employment and economic uncertainty of COVID-19, the Partnership is unable to reliably predict future client trading activity in response to COVID-19, and further economic or market events could negatively impact trade revenue in fiscal 2020.
Based on current information and if interest rates remain at record low levels, the Partnership expects continued decreases in net interest and dividends revenue in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019.
Although the Partnership cannot reliably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on financial markets or its financial results, the Partnership has several ongoing measures to reduce future operating expenses in an effort to help mitigate the negative impacts of potentially lower revenue on the Partnership's future income before allocations to partners, such as temporary hiring reductions, reduction of discretionary spending, a travel halt, and a pause on new branch and home office real estate projects. The Partnership is continuing to assess these and other existing firm measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and may consider additional potential measures in response to further economic or market events.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the global governmental response, vaccination, and related impact on society and the economy have resulted in significant uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in financial markets. Further economic and market events related to COVID-19 could negatively impact our future business operations and financial results.
The Partnership continues to assess its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the event the Partnership begins to experience adverse impacts in response to further economic or market events, the Partnership may consider resuming or adopting measures to reduce future operating expenses.

Growth in revenue from advisory programs and service fees was due to higher average market levels in the second quarter and first half of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, as well as the continuedincrease in investment of client assets in advisory programs and higher average market levelsmutual fund assets held outside of advisory programs. Other asset-based fee revenue increased in the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 2020. The decrease in other asset-based fee revenue2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 reflecteddue to the growth in client asset values in non-advisory programs. These increases were partially offset by declines in cash solutions revenue, primarily fromwhich continues to be negatively impacted by increased fee waivers in order to maintain a positive client yield on the Money Market Fund following the decrease in the federal funds effective rate to near zero in March 2020. If interest rates remain at record low levels, the Partnership expects to continue to incur fee waivers in order to maintain a positive client yield on the Money Market Fund, thereby reducing other asset-based fee revenue.

The 11% increase in trade revenue in the thirdsecond quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due to an increase in commissions revenue, partially offset by a decrease in principal transactions revenue. Commissions revenue increased primarily due to higherincreases in overall margins frommargin earned. Overall margin earned increased due to a change in product mix with a higher proportionportion of client dollars invested in equities and mutual funds, which earn higher margins than equities and principal transaction products. Despite higher overall margins, margins earned on mutual funds have decreased due to changes in mutual fund fee structures, which has partially offset the increase in mutual funds revenue. Principal transactions revenue decreased as a result of a decrease in client dollars invested with lower interest rates on those products compared to the second quarter of 2020.
The 1% decrease in trade revenue for the first half of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to decreases in equity commissions revenue and principal transactions revenue. The decrease in equity commissions revenue was primarily due to lower client dollars invested in equities compared to the first half of 2020,which had lower securities prices with market volatility related to COVID-19. The decrease in equity commissions revenue was partially offset by an increase in other commissions revenue in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a change in the product mix with a higher portion of client dollars invested in mutual funds, which earn higher margins than equities and principal transaction products, resulting in an overall higher margin earned compared to the second half of 2020. Principal transactions revenue decreased as a result of a decrease in client dollars invested, due to the decline inlower interest rates on those products during the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 compared to the prior periods. Year to date results also reflected significant increases in first quarter trade revenue. As global markets became increasingly volatile in the second half of March 2020 due to the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of COVID-19, that resulted in lower securities prices, the Partnership experienced a significant increase in client dollars invested in equities.2020.

In the first half of 2021, net interest and dividends revenue decreased 55% to $31 compared to the same periodsperiod in 20192020 primarily due to interest rates remaining at record low levels since the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds effective rate to near zero in March 2020, which began impacting results in the second quarter of 2020 and therefore was only partially reflected in the results of the first half of 2020. Despite increases in short-term investment balances and client margin balances in the first half of 2021, interest revenueincome decreased due to thefrom lower federal funds rateaverage interest rates earned on those balances compared to the prior period. Interest revenue also decreased due to lower interest earned on lower client margin balances.same period in 2020. The decrease in interest revenue was partially offset by a decrease in customer credit interest expense in 2020the first half of 2021 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2019.2020.

Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued |
The increasesincrease in operating expenses in the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 werewas primarily due to compensation and benefits expense (described below) increasing 10%30% to $1,806$2,148 and 9%23% to $5,216 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020,$4,187, respectively.The increases in operating expenses were partially offset by decreases in other operating expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 primarily as a result of reductions in discretionary spending, a travel halt, and a pause on certain strategic firm initiatives and real estate projects.
Financial advisor compensation and benefits expense increased 8%29% to $1,237 and 7%21% to $2,406 in the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 due to an increase in revenues on which commissions are earned, growth in the number of financial advisors and an increase in compensation related to supporting new financial advisors and trainees.
Home office and branch compensation and benefits expense increased 2% in the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher wages and healthcare costs, and increased 4% in the first nine months of 2020, primarily due to an increase in the average number of personnel to support increased client activity, certain strategic firm initiatives to enhance the client experience, and growth of the Partnership’s financial advisor network, as well as higher wages and healthcare costs. The average number of the Partnership’s home office associates and branch office administrators ("BOAs") decreased 2% and 1%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020 and increased 1% and 2%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2020. earned.
Variable compensation expands and contracts in relation to the Partnership’s related profitability and net margin earned. A significant portion of the Partnership’s profits are allocated to variable compensation and paid to associates in the form of bonuses and profit sharing. Variable compensation increased 26%67% to $376$485 and 22%52% to $1,004$954 in the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 due to increases in the Partnership's profitability, including an increase in the number of profitable branches and an overall increase in branch profitability. Given the uncertainty of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, the Partnership cannot reliably predict their effects on profitability and variable compensation.
The Partnership uses the ratios of both the number of home office associates and the number of BOAsbranch office administrators ("BOAs") per 100 financial advisors, as well as operating expenses per financial advisor (excluding financial advisor compensation, variable compensation and fund sub-adviser fees), as key metrics in managing its costs. The average number of home office associates and BOAs per 100 financial advisors increased 2% and 3%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. In the third quarterfirst half of 2020,2021, the average number of home office associates and BOAs per 100 financial advisors decreased 7%stayed constant and 6%increased 1%, respectively, and decreased 5% and 4%, respectively, incompared to the first nine monthshalf of 2020. The operatingOperating expenses per financial advisor decreased 9%increased 11% and 6%4% in the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, respectively, due to a decreasethe increase in operating expenses (excluding financial advisor compensation, variable compensation and fund sub-advisor fees), which were spread across a decreased average number of financial advisors in the second quarter of 2021 and an increasea slightly increased average number of financial advisors in the first half of 2021.
The number of financial advisors. Whileadvisors decreased 306 to 18,855 at the Partnership’s longer-term strategy isend of the second quarter of 2021 compared to the end of the same period in the prior year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Partnership implemented measures to optimize firm resources and control costs, including a temporary pause on the recruitment of non-licensed financial advisors during 2020. The Partnership remains committed to financial advisor growth to continue to grow its financial advisor network at a faster pace than its home office staff, the near-term growth will be slowed due to recent temporary hiring reductions. In addition, effects of COVID-19 on financial advisor attrition are uncertain and cannot be reliably predicted.
Given the uncertainty of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, the Partnership has several ongoing measures to support the health and well-being of itsserve existing clients and associates while also reducing future operating expensesclients and create a positive impact in our communities by implementing temporary reductions to hiring of newboth experienced financial advisors BOAs and home office associates, which may slow the growth of compensation and benefits expensenon-licensed candidates in fiscal 2020.future periods. The Partnership has also decreased discretionary spending, implementedrestarted hiring and is committed to an innovative and intentional strategy to grow its impact by offering a plan and resources for both current financial advisors and new hires that is intended to help promote branch team success. This approach may result in fewer financial advisors hired than in past periods.
Despite the increase in operating expenses, the Partnership continued to experience ongoing cost savings from limits on travel halt and temporarily paused spending on new branch and home office real estate projects. Controlling costs could help reduce the impact that potential decreases in Partnership revenue could have on future profitability.in-person events due to COVID-19. The Partnership is continuingcontinues to assess these and other existing firmthe measures adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the event the Partnership begins to experience adverse impacts in response to further economic or market events, the Partnership may consider resuming or adopting measures to reduce future operating expenses.
Segment Information
The Partnership has two operating and reportable segments based upon geographic location, the U.S. and Canada. Canada segment information, as reported in the following table, is based upon the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership’s Canada operations. The U.S. segment information is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements less the Canada segment information as presented. Pre-variable income represents income before variable compensation expense and before allocations to partners. This is consistent with how management views the segments to assess performance. COVID-19 is a global pandemic that has resulted in rapid changes and significant uncertainty; however, based on current information, the Partnership expects COVID-19 to impact the future financial results of the segments similarly. The following table shows financial information for the Partnership’s reportable segments.

MUTUAL FUNDS AND INSURANCE PRODUCTS
The Partnership estimatesearned approximately 30%31% of its total revenue was derived from sales and services related to mutual fund and insurance products for each of the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 and September 27, 2019.June 26, 2020. In addition, the Partnership derived 13%11% and 12% of its total revenue for both of the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 25, 20202021, respectively, and 13% and 14% of its total revenue for both of the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended September 27, 2019June 26, 2020, respectively, from one mutual fund company. The revenue generated from this company relates to business conducted with the Partnership’s U.S. segment.
Significant reductions in these revenues due to changes in mutual fund fee structures that result in decreased margins earned, regulatory reform or other changes to the Partnership’s relationship with mutual fund or insurance companies could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership requires liquidity to cover its operating expenses, net capital requirements, capital expenditures, distributions to partners and redemptions of Partnership interests, as well as to facilitate client transactions. The principal sources for meeting the Partnership’s liquidity requirements include existing liquidity and capital resources of the Partnership, discussed further below, and funds generated from operations. The Partnership believes that the liquidity provided by these sources will be sufficient to meet its capital and liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Partnership will, from time to time, consider the issuance of debt and additional Partnership capital, the proceeds of which could be used to meet growth needs or for other purposes.

Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued |
As of SeptemberJune 25, 2020,2021, the Partnership had $3,260$2,401 in cash, cash equivalents consisting of certificates of deposit and money market funds, and highly liquid investments consisting of securities purchased under agreements to resell and U.S. treasuries, $3,158resell. Additionally, the Partnership had $3,307 in Partnership capital and no debt.debt as of June 25, 2021. The Partnership has committed and uncommitted lines of credit in place should a liquidity need arise but has not drawn upon these lines. The Partnership believes that its financial position remains strong as it addresses the uncertainty of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and, based on current information, does not anticipate any significant changes to its current liquidity or capital position.
Partnership Capital
The Partnership’s growth in capital has historically been the result of the sale of Interests to its associates and existing limited partners, the sale of subordinated limited partnership interests to its current or retiring general partners, and retention of a portion of general partner earnings.
The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the SEC on January 12, 2018, to register $450 of Interests issuable pursuant to the 2018 Plan. TheIn addition to issuances of Interests in prior periods, the Partnership issued approximately $380$1 and $1$5 of Interests under the 2018 Plan on January 2, 2019in 2020 and January 2, 2020,the first half of 2021, respectively. The remaining $69$64 of Interests may be issued under the 2018 Plan at the discretion of the Managing Partner in the future. Proceeds from the offering under the 2018 Plan were and are expected to be used for working capital and general firm purposes and to ensure there is adequate general liquidity of the Partnership for future needs. The issuance of Interests reduces the Partnership’s net interest income and profitability.
The Partnership’s capital subject to mandatory redemption at SeptemberJune 25, 2020,2021, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals, was $3,158,$3,307, an increase of $201$232 from December 31, 2019.2020. This increase in Partnership capital subject to mandatory redemption was primarily due to the retention of a portion of general partner earnings ($91)85) and additional capital contributions related to limited partner, subordinated limited partner and general partner interests ($1, $495, $60 and $163,$220, respectively), partially offset by the net increase in Partnership loans outstanding ($3)54) and redemption of limited partner, subordinated limited partner and general partner interests ($10, $37$16 and $53,$58, respectively). During each of the threethree- and nine monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 and September 27, 2019,June 26, 2020, the Partnership retained 13.8% of income allocated to general partners.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, a partner’s capital is required to be redeemed by the Partnership in the event of the partner’s death or withdrawal from the Partnership, subject to compliance with ongoing regulatory capital requirements. In the event of a partner’s death, the Partnership generally redeems the partner’s capital within ninesix months. The Partnership has restrictions in place which govern the withdrawal of capital. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, limited partners requesting withdrawal from the Partnership are to be repaid their capital in three equal annual installments beginning no earlier than 90 days after their withdrawal notice is received by the Managing Partner. The capital of general partners requesting withdrawal from the Partnership is converted to subordinated limited partnership capital or, at the discretion of the Managing Partner, redeemed by the Partnership. Subordinated limited partners requesting withdrawal are repaid their capital in six equal annual installments beginning no earlier than 90 days after their request for withdrawal of contributed capital is received by the Managing Partner. The Partnership’s Managing Partner has discretion to waive or modify these withdrawal restrictions and to accelerate the return of capital.
The Partnership makes loans available to those general partners and, in limited circumstances, subordinated limited partners (in each case, other than members of the Executive Committee) who require financing for some or all of their Partnership capital contributions. In limited circumstances a general partner may withdraw from the Partnership and become a subordinated limited partner while he or she still has an outstanding Partnership loan. It is anticipated that, of the future general and subordinated limited partnership capital contributions (in each case, other than for Executive Committee members) requiring financing, the majority will be financed through Partnership loans. Loans made by the Partnership to such partners are generally for a period of one year but are expected to be renewed and bear interest at the interest rate defined ingreater of the loan documents.Prime Rate for the last business day of the prior fiscal month or 3.25%. The Partnership recognizes interest income for the interest earned related to these loans. Partners borrowing from the Partnership will be required to repay such loans by applying the earnings received from the Partnership to such loans, net of amounts retained by the Partnership, amounts distributed for income taxes and 5% of earnings distributed to the partner. The Partnership has full recourse against any partner that defaults on loan obligations to the Partnership. The Partnership does not anticipate that partner loans will have an adverse impact on the Partnership’s short-term liquidity or capital resources.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued |
Any partner may also choose to have individual banking arrangements for their Partnership capital contributions. Any bank financing of capital contributions is in the form of unsecured bank loan agreements and is between the individual and the bank. The Partnership does not guarantee these bank loans, nor can the partner pledge his or her partnership interest as collateral for the bank loan. The Partnership performs certain administrative functions in connection with its limited partners who have elected to finance a portion of their Partnership capital contributions through individual unsecured bank loan agreements from banks with whom the Partnership has other banking relationships. For all limited partner capital contributions financed through such bank loan agreements, each agreement instructs the Partnership to apply the proceeds from the redemption of that individual’s capital account to the repayment of the limited partner's bank loan prior to any funds being released to the partner. In addition, the partner is required to apply Partnership earnings, net of any distributions to pay taxes, to service the interest and principal on the bank loan. Should a partner’s individual bank loan not be renewed upon maturity for any reason, the Partnership could experience increased requests for capital liquidations, which could adversely impact the Partnership’s liquidity. In addition, partners who finance all or a portion of their capital contributions with bank financing may be more likely to request the withdrawal of capital to meet bank financing requirements should the partners experience a period of reduced earnings. As a partnership, any withdrawals by general partners, subordinated limited partners or limited partners would reduce the Partnership’s available liquidity and capital.
Many of the same banks that provide financing to limited partners also provide financing to the Partnership. To the extent these banks increase credit available to the partners, financing available to the Partnership may be reduced.
The Partnership, while not a party to any partner unsecured bank loan agreements, does facilitate making payments of allocated income to certain banks on behalf of the limited partner. The following table represents amounts related to Partnership loans as well as bank loans (for which the Partnership facilitates certain administrative functions). Partners may have arranged their own bank loans to finance their Partnership capital for which the Partnership does not facilitate certain administrative functions and therefore any such loans are not included in the table.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership's $500 committed revolving line of credit (the "2018 Credit Facility") entered into in September 2018, the Partnership is required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 35% and minimum Partnership capital, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals and Partnership loans, of at least $1,884. In addition, Edward Jones is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,344 and minimum regulatory net capital of at least 6% of aggregate debit items as calculated under the alternative method. The Partnership has the ability to draw on various types of loans. The associated interest rate depends on the type of loan, duration of the loan, whether the loan is secured or unsecured and the amount of leverage. Contractual rates are based on an index rate plus the applicable rate.The 2018 Credit Facility is intended to provide short-term liquidity to the Partnership should the need arise. As of SeptemberJune 25, 2020,2021, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility.
In addition, the Partnership has multiple uncommitted lines of credit, including the $390 of uncommitted secured lines of credit totaling $390 that are subject to change at the discretion of the banks. The amount available on onePartnership also has an additional uncommitted line of credit where the uncommitted lines of creditamount and the associated collateral requirements are at the bank's discretion uponin the event of a borrowing. Based on credit market conditions and the uncommitted nature of these credit facilities, it is possible that these lines of credit could decrease or not be available in the future. Actual borrowing availabilitycapacity on the uncommitted secured lines is based on availability of client margin securities or firm-owned securities, which would serve as collateral on loans in the event the Partnership borrowed against these lines.

There were no amounts outstanding on the 2018 Credit Facility or the uncommitted lines of credit as of SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020. In addition, the Partnership did not have any draws against these lines of credit during the three or nine monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 25, 2020.2021, except for periodically testing draw procedures.
Cash Activity
As of SeptemberJune 25, 2020,2021, the Partnership had $1,026$1,316 in cash and cash equivalents $1,734and $1,085 in securities purchased under agreements to resell, which generally have maturities of less than one week, and $500 in U.S treasuries.overnight maturities. This totaled to $3,260$2,401 of Partnership liquidity as of SeptemberJune 25, 2020,2021, a 20% increase15% decrease from $2,707$2,839 at December 31, 2019.2020. The Partnership had $14,682$17,791 and $10,387$17,918 in cash and investments segregated under federal regulations as of SeptemberJune 25, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, which was not available for general use.

Given global health, market, employment2020, respectively, primarily to help facilitate cash management and economic uncertainty from COVID-19,maintain firm liquidity. The decrease in the Partnership increasedgovernment and agency obligations balance was partly due to the proportiontiming of U.S. treasuries to focus on principal protectionmaturities and balances in segregated accounts and was partially reflected in higher firm cash as of the portfolio. There was an increase June 25, 2021. The decrease in cash and investments segregated under federal regulations was primarily due to an increasea decrease in cash held in clients' accounts, resulting in a corresponding increasedecrease in payables to clients. Changes in cash were also due to timing of daily client cash activity in relation to the weekly segregation requirement.
The Partnership continues to evaluate its cash management strategy. Banks have experienced a significant increase in cash deposits due to the market and economic uncertainty from COVID-19, which may impact the Partnership's ability to continue to find financial institutions at which to place funds for principal protection while earning a reasonable rate of return on those funds.

Regulatory Requirements
As a result of its activities as a U.S. broker-dealer, Edward Jones is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange Act and capital compliance rules of the FINRA Rule 4110. Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward Jones must maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $0.25 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. The net capital rules also provide that Edward Jones’ partnership capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital would be less than minimum requirements. Additionally, certain withdrawals of partnership capital require the approval of the SEC and FINRA to the extent they exceed defined levels, even though such withdrawals would not cause net capital to be less than minimum requirements.
The Partnership’s Canada broker-dealer subsidiary is a registered broker-dealer regulated by IIROC. Under the regulations prescribed by IIROC, the Partnership's Canada broker-dealer subsidiary is required to maintain minimum levels of risk-adjusted capital, which are dependent on the nature of the Partnership’s Canada broker-dealer subsidiary's assets and operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Partnership does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.
THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Partnership’s net assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, cash and investments segregated under federal regulations, firm-owned securities, and receivables, less liabilities. Monetary net assets are primarily liquid in nature and would not be significantly affected by inflation. Inflation and future expectations of inflation influence securities prices, as well as activity levels in the securities markets. As a result, profitability and capital may be impacted by inflation and inflationary expectations. Additionally, inflation’s impact on the Partnership’s operating expenses may affect profitability to the extent that additional costs are not recoverable through increased prices of services offered by the Partnership.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
There have been no material changes to the Partnership’s disclosures of recently issued and adopted accounting standards as described in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Partnership's Annual Report. See Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently adopted accounting standards.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in particular Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions which predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Partnership. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Some of the factors that might cause differences between forward-looking statements and actual events include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) general economic conditions, including an economic downturn or volatility in the U.S. and/or global securities markets, and actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve and/or central banks outside of the United States; (2) regulatory actions; (3) changes in legislation or regulation; (4) actions of competitors; (5) litigation; (6) the ability of clients, other broker-dealers, banks, depositories and clearing organizations to fulfill contractual obligations; (7) changes in interest rates; (8) changes in technology and other technology-related risks; (9) a fluctuation or decline in the fair value of securities; (10) our ability to attract and retain qualified financial advisors and other employees; and (11) the risks discussed under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in the Partnership’s Annual Report and Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors in the Partnership's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 27, 2020, June 26, 2020 and September 25, 2020.Report. These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans, and estimates at the date of this report, and the Partnership does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes.
The continuing spreadCOVID-19 pandemic and evolution of COVID-19 and various governments’ responses to the pandemic have adversely affected the global governmental response, vaccination, and related impact on society and the economy and have resulted in significant uncertainty whichin the global economy and volatility in financial markets. Further economic and market events related to COVID-19 could negatively impact our future business operations and financial results.
The Partnership has several ongoing measures in response to COVID-19 to support the health and well-being of its clients, partners and associates, as well asand may implement additional measures in response to optimize firm resources and control costs,further economic or market events, but cannot provide any assurance that such measures will be successful. While markets in the second and third quarters of 2020 experienced a significant rebound compared to the end of the first quarter of 2020, further economic or market events could negatively impact the Partnership's business operations and financial results in fiscal 2020.

However, actual results with respect to such items willmay vary from the assumed amountsexpectations and the variation could be material. Accordingly, you should not rely on these descriptions because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Partnership.
33
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Various levels of management within the Partnership manage the Partnership’s risk exposure. Position limits in inventory accounts are established and monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit risk related to various financing activities is reduced by the industry practice of obtaining and maintaining collateral. The Partnership monitors its exposure to counterparty risk through the use of credit exposure information, the monitoring of collateral values and the establishment of credit limits. For further discussion of monitoring, see the Risk Management discussion in Part III, Item 10 – Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance of the Partnership’s Annual Report.
The Partnership is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Such changes in interest rates impact the income from interest-earning assets, primarily receivables from clients on margin balances and short-term, primarily overnight, investments, which are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments segregated under federal regulations, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, which averaged $2.8$3.0 billion and $15.0$21.3 billion respectively, for the nine monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 25, 2020.2021. These margin receivables and investments earned interest at an average annual rate of approximately 417398 and 4810 basis points (4.17%(3.98% and 0.48%0.10%), respectively, during the first nine monthshalf of 2020.2021. Changes in interest rates also have an impact on the expense related to the liabilities that finance these assets, such as amounts payable to clients.
The Partnership performed an analysis of its financial instruments and assessed the related interest rate risk and materiality in accordance with the SEC rules. Under current market conditions and based on current levels of interest-earning assets and the liabilities that finance these assets, the Partnership estimates that a 100 basis100-basis point (1.00%) increase in short-term interest rates could increase its annual net interest income by approximately $118 million. This estimate reflects minimum contractual rates on certain balances. Conversely, the Partnership estimates that a reduction in short-term interest rates to zero could decrease the Partnership’s annual net interest income by approximately $20$15 million. A 100 basis100-basis point (1.00%) decrease in short-term interest rates was not utilized for this comparison because it would result in negative rates given that rates are already near zero. Assuming interest rates and balances as of September 25, 2020 remain unchanged, the Partnership estimates that its net interest and dividends revenue could decline by approximately $140 for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019. Actual results likely will vary from those estimates and the variation could be material.
For information related to the impacts of COVID-19 on interest rates and the Partnership's market risk, see Part I, Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. controls and procedures
The Partnership maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Partnership’s certifying officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon an evaluation performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s certifying officers, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 25, 2020.2021.
There have been no changes in the Partnership’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the quarter ended June 25, 2021 and Part II Item 1A – Risk Factorssubsequent to period end, the Partnership issued subordinated limited partnership interests (the “SLP Interests”), which are described in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership issued the SLP Interests pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in a privately negotiated transaction and not pursuant to a public offering or solicitation. The SLP Interests were issued to general partners of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QPartnership in June 2021 and July 2021 for the periods ended March 27, 2020an aggregate price of $0.45 million and June 26, 2020. The following risk factors supplement the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors – Risk Related to the Partnership's Business of the Partnership's Annual Report.
COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC — Given the significant global health, market, employment and economic impacts of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of its duration, the Partnership may experience negative impacts to its business operations and financial results.
The spread of COVID-19 has adversely affected global business activities and has resulted in significant uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in financial markets. While markets in the second and third quarters of 2020 experienced a significant rebound compared to the end of the first quarter of 2020, the federal funds effective rate remains near zero, and further economic or market events could negatively impact the Partnership's business operations and financial results in fiscal 2020. In particular, the Partnership may experience lower asset-based revenue due to declines in the market value of client assets on which asset-based revenue is earned and lower interest revenue due to decreases in the federal funds rate and increased fee waivers in order to maintain a positive client yield on the Money Market Fund.
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the uncertainty of its duration and the potentially negative impacts on the Partnership's business operations and financial results, the Partnership has several ongoing measures to support the health and well-being of its clients and associates, as well as measures to optimize firm resources and control costs. The ongoing measures include, among other things, closure and phased reopening of branches to public access, establishing the technological capability for branches to serve clients remotely, as well as virtually all home-office associates working remotely with limited exceptions. Such remote work may limit financial advisors' ability to obtain new clients and maintain existing client relationships through face-to-face client interactions. Additionally, the Partnership has reduced hiring of new financial advisors in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may lower the Partnership's ability for growth. Slower growth rates in the number of financial advisors, client accounts and net new assets could have an adverse impact on revenue the Partnership receives from commissions and asset-based fees and on its results of operations.
Potentially lower asset-based fees and trade revenue resulting from the market uncertainty in response to COVID-19 could reduce commissions, bonuses, travel benefits and branch profitability for financial advisors. The effects of COVID-19 on financial advisor attrition are uncertain and cannot be reliably predicted; however, these potentially negative impacts to financial advisor compensation and benefits may result in increased financial advisor attrition. The Partnership may experience increased costs from providing temporary financial assistance to certain financial advisors in attempts to help support some financial advisors that may be experiencing financial hardship while also potentially mitigating heightened attrition rates.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors, continued
MARKET CONDITIONS AND INFLATION— As a part of the securities industry, a downturn in the U.S. and/or global securities markets historically has, and in the future could have, a significant negative effect on revenues and could significantly reduce or eliminate profitability of the Partnership. In addition, an increase in inflation could affect securities prices and as a result, the profitability of the Partnership.
General political and economic conditions and events such as U.S. fiscal and monetary policy, economic recession, governmental shutdown, trade tensions and disputes, global economic slowdown, widespread health epidemics or pandemics, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war, changes in local and national economic and political conditions, regulatory changes or changes in the law, or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations could create a downturn in the U.S. and/or global securities markets. The securities industry is, and therefore the Partnership is, highly dependent upon market prices and volumes which are highly unpredictable and volatile in nature. Events such as global recession, frozen credit markets, and institutional failures could make the capital markets increasingly volatile. Weakened global economic conditions and unsettled financial markets, among other things, could cause significant declines in the Partnership’s net revenues which would adversely impact its overall financial results.
The Partnership’s composition of net revenue is heavily weighted towards asset-based fee revenue, and a decrease in the market value of assets would have a negative impact on the Partnership’s financial results due to the fact that asset-based fees are earned on the market value of the underlying client assets. A market decline could have a greater negative impact on revenues and profitability than experienced in prior years due to the increasing proportion of asset-based revenues. Market volatility could also cause clients to move their investments to lower margin products, or withdraw them, which could have an adverse impact on the profitability of the Partnership. The Partnership could also experience a material reduction in volume and lower securities prices in times of market volatility, which would result in lower trade and asset-based fee revenue, decreased margins and losses in firm inventory accounts. Current and potential market changes to fee structures in the mutual funds industry have resulted in and may continue to result in decreased margins and therefore lower revenues. In the event of a significant reduction in revenues and depending on the amount of fixed financial advisor compensation at that time, the Partnership could experience a material adverse impact on the profitability of the Partnership.
Inflation and future expectations of inflation can negatively influence securities prices, as well as activity levels in the securities markets. As a result, the Partnership’s profitability may be adversely affected by inflation and inflationary expectations. Additionally, the impact of inflation on the Partnership’s operating expenses may affect profitability to the extent that additional costs are not recoverable through increased prices of services offered by the Partnership.
Refer to the preceding risk factor for specific market conditions and risks related to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY INITIATIVES — Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives could significantly impact the regulation and operation of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. In addition, Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives may significantly alter or restrict the Partnership’s historic business practices, which could negatively affect its operating results.
The Partnership is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state regulatory agencies and by SROs and other regulators. The Partnership operates in a regulatory environment that is subject to ongoing change and has seen significantly increased regulation in recent years. The Partnership may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations, by changes in federal, state or foreign tax laws and regulations, or by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations. Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives may impact the manner in which the Partnership markets its products and services, manages its business and operations, and interacts with clients and regulators, any or all of which could materially impact the Partnership’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Regulatory changes or changes in the law could increase compliance costs which would adversely impact profitability.
There is a high degree of uncertainty surrounding Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives. Current Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives have resulted in an increasingly complex environment in which the Partnership conducts its business. As such, the Partnership cannot reliably predict when or if any of the proposed or potential Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives will be enacted, when or if any enacted Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives will be implemented,
37
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors, continued
whether there will be any changes to enacted or proposed Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives or the impact that any Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives will have on the Partnership.
The Partnership continues to monitor several Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives, including, but not limited to:
SEC Rules and Guidance on the Standards of Conduct for Investment Professionals (the "Rules and Guidance"). On June 5, 2019, the SEC adopted Regulation Best Interest, establishing a standard of care for broker-dealers that includes acting in the best interest of their brokerage clients when making a recommendation and addressing conflicts of interest. On the same day, the SEC adopted the Form CRS Relationship Summary and accompanying rule requiring registered investment advisers and broker-dealers to deliver a brief relationship summary to their clients informing them of the types of client relationships offered, together with the applicable standards of care, and information on fees, costs, conflicts of interest, and legal and disciplinary history. Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS and its rule became effective September 10, 2019, with a compliance date of June 30, 2020. On June 5, 2019, the SEC issued guidance clarifying the "fiduciary" standard of care applicable to investment advisers and advisory clients and guidance clarifying what broker-dealer activities are excluded from the definition of "investment adviser." The Partnership implemented measures to comply with the Rules and Guidance by the June 30, 2020 compliance date.
Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") Amendments. On October 3, 2019, the CSA finalized amendments (the "Client Focused Reforms") to National Instrument 31-103, "Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations." The Client Focused Reforms, many of which are similar to the SEC's Rules and Guidance, make changes to the registrant conduct requirements applicable to the Partnership’s Canada broker-dealer subsidiary. The amendments will become effective over a two-year phased implementation, concluding December 31, 2021. The Partnership is continuing to dedicate significant resources to interpret and address the Client Focused Reforms, to identify any potential changes to be made by the phased compliance dates and to assess the potential impact on the Partnership's business.
Other Standard of Care Initiatives. In addition, state legislators and other regulators are proposing, or have adopted, laws and rules to articulate their required standard of care, which may diverge from the SEC's Rules and Guidance. The Partnership is dedicating significant resources to interpret and address these laws and rules as well. The Partnership cannot reliably predict the ultimate form or impact of such rules and laws, but their enactment and implementation may have an adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
INTENT TO PURSUE A BANK — The Partnership is subject to the risk its application to obtain an industrial bank charter may not be successful; and if the charter is granted, the Partnership would be subject to additional risks related to capital and other costs to establish and maintain the bank, additional regulatory oversight, potential legislative changes and uncertainty of obtaining the anticipated benefits.
On July 1, 2020, the Partnership announced it had submitted an application to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Utah Department of Financial Institutions (UDFI) to establish a Utah-chartered industrial bank subsidiary to be named Edward Jones Bank. The Partnership cannot reliably predict the timing of the application process, whether its application will be successful and, if so, on what terms and whether and to what extent an industrial bank would yield the anticipated benefits. If the charter is granted, the Partnership expects to incur substantial start-up costs and commit a significant amount of capital to support the development and initial operations of the Edward Jones Bank. Factors that could affect the profitability and success of Edward Jones Bank if the charter is granted include, but are not limited to, unanticipated additional costs, the need for additional capital support, significant delays, operational challenges, uncertain client demand, legislative changes and regulatory changes and oversight, any or all of which may adversely impact Edward Jones Bank's and the Partnership's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
None.
