Risk/Return Summary

For a more detailed discussion of the Fund’s main risks, as well as Fund strategies, please see pages 16–20.

The Fund’s Objective

The Fund seeks capital growth over the long term.

The Fund’s Main Investment Strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small-cap companies, which are expected to include both long and short positions. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Small-cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Value Index stocks at the time of purchase. Market capitalization is the total market value of a company’s shares. In reviewing investments for the Fund, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM), the Fund’s adviser, uses a value-oriented approach.

The Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income-producing real estate or loans related to real estate.

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and to increase the Fund’s income or gain.

For cash management or temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest any portion of its Assets in affiliated money market funds, high-quality money market instruments or repurchase agreements.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees may change any of these investment policies (including its investment objective) without shareholder approval.

The Fund is non-diversified as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
    

BEFORE YOU INVEST

Investors considering the Fund should understand that:

• 
  There is no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objective.
• 
  The Fund does not represent a complete investment program.

FREQUENCY OF TRADING

How frequently the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. If the frequency of trading is high, the Fund will have higher brokerage and related costs, and there may be additional tax consequences.

Investment Process

In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify quality companies whose stock prices appear to be undervalued. In particular, we look for undervalued companies with leading competitive positions and strong management. The adviser makes specific purchase decisions based on a number of quantitative factors, including valuation and improving fundamentals, as well as the stock and industry insights of the adviser’s research and portfolio management teams. Finally, a disciplined, systematic portfolio construction process is employed to minimize uncompensated risks relative to the benchmark.

The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. The adviser may sell a security due to a change in the company’s fundamentals, a change in the original reason for purchase of an investment, or new investment opportunities with higher expected returns emerge to displace existing portfolio holdings with lower expected returns. Finally, the adviser may also sell a security, which the adviser no longer considers reasonably valued.
    

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money if you sell when the Fund’s share price is lower than when you invested.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. You may lose money on your investment in the Fund. Here are some of the specific risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed fund. The Fund may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

Market Risk.  The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the types of securities in which the Fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

Small Cap Company Risk.  Investments in small cap companies may be riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of small cap companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, small cap companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Because small cap companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies.

Value Investing Risk.  Since the Fund focuses on value stocks, performance may be better or worse than the performance of equity funds that invest in other types of stocks or that have a broader investment style. Value investing attempts to identify companies, that according to the adviser’s estimate of their true worth, are undervalued. The adviser selects stocks at prices that it believes are temporarily low relative to factors such as the company’s earnings, cash flow or dividends. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.

Derivatives Risk.  The Fund may use derivatives in connection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are also subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives for hedging purposes may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund, and the cost of hedging may reduce the Fund’s returns. In addition, the Fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes which increases the Fund’s potential for loss.

Real Estate Securities Risk.  The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and will depend on the value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property and interest rates. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk.  Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased concentration in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results among those issuing the securities.

Temporary Defensive Positions.  To respond to unusual circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes. These investments may prevent the Fund from meeting its investment objective.

The Fund’s Management
and Administration

The Fund is series of JPMorgan Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the Trust). The Trust is governed by trustees who are responsible for overseeing all business activities of the Fund.

The Fund operates in a multiple class structure. A multiple class fund is an open-end investment company that issues two or more classes of shares representing interests in the same investment portfolio.

Each class in a multiple class fund can set its own transaction minimums and may vary with respect to expenses for distribution, administration and shareholder services. This means that one class could offer access to the Fund on different terms than another class. Certain classes may be more appropriate for a particular investor.

The Fund may issue other classes of shares that have different expense levels and performance and different requirements for who may invest. Call 1-800-480-4111 to obtain more information concerning all of the Fund’s other share classes. A Financial Intermediary who receives compensation for selling Fund shares may receive a different amount of compensation for sales of different classes of shares.

The Fund’s Investment Adviser

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM) acts as investment adviser to the Fund and makes day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.

JPMIM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Asset Management Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMorgan Chase), a bank holding company. JPMIM is located at 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10167.

During the most recent fiscal year ended 6/30/06, JPMIM was not paid any management fees (net of waivers) with respect to the Fund.

A discussion of the basis the Board of Trustees used in reapproving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement will be available in the semi-annual report for the most recent fiscal period ended December 31.

The Portfolio Managers

The portfolio management team is led by Christopher Mark Vyvyan Jones, Managing Director of JPMIM, and James Adler, Vice President of JPMIM. Mr. Jones is the Chief Investment Officer of the U.S. Equity Growth and Small Cap team and has worked as a portfolio manager with various affiliates of JPMIM since 1982. Mr. Adler is a vice president of JPMIM. Mr. Adler has been with JPMIM since 2000 and is a small cap analyst and portfolio manager.

Additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and their ownership of securities in the Fund is provided in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund’s Administrator

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the Administrator) provides administrative services for and oversees the other service providers of the Fund. The Administrator receives a pro-rata portion of the following annual fee on behalf of the Fund for administrative services: 0.15% of the first $25 billion of average daily net assets of all Funds (excluding funds of funds and money market funds) in the JPMorgan Funds Complex plus 0.075% of average daily net assets over $25 billion.

The Fund’s Shareholder Servicing Agent

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement with JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (JPMDS) under which JPMDS has agreed to provide certain support services to the Fund’s shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, receives an annual fee of up to 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the R Class Shares of the Fund. JPMDS may enter into service agreements with Financial Intermediaries under which it will pay all or a portion of the 0.05% annual fee to such Financial Intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services.

The Fund’s Distributor

JPMDS (the Distributor) is the distributor for the Fund. The Distributor is an affiliate of JPMIM and the Administrator.

Additional Compensation to Financial Intermediaries

JPMIM, JPMDS and, from time to time, other affiliates of JPMorgan Chase may, at their own expense and out of their own legitimate profits, provide additional cash payments to Financial Intermediaries who sell shares of the JPMorgan Funds. For this purpose,

Financial Intermediaries include investment advisers, financial advisors, brokers, financial planners, banks, insurance companies, retirement or 401(k) plan administrators and others, including various affiliates of JPMorgan Chase, that have entered into an agreement with JPMDS. These additional cash payments are payments over and above the shareholder servicing fees which are disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus. These additional cash payments are generally made to Financial Intermediaries that provide shareholder or administrative services or marketing support. Marketing support may include access to sales meetings, sales representatives and Financial Intermediary management representatives, inclusion of the JPMorgan Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, or other sales programs. These additional cash payments also may be made as an expense reimbursement in cases where the Financial Intermediary provides shareholder services to JPMorgan Fund shareholders. JPMIM and JPMDS may also pay cash compensation in the form of finders’ fees that vary depending on the JPMorgan Fund and the dollar amount of shares sold.

PURCHASING FUND SHARES

Who can buy shares?

Shares may be purchased by the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds.

Shares may also be purchased by 401(k) and other retirement plans administered by the Retirement Plan Services affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

When can I buy shares?

Purchases may be made on any business day. This includes any day that the Fund is open for business, other than weekends and days on which the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed, including the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Only purchase orders accepted by the Fund or a Financial Intermediary before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) will be effective at that day’s price. JPMorgan Funds Services will accept your order when federal funds, a wire, a check or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction is received together with a completed Account Application. If you purchase shares through a Financial Intermediary, you may be required to complete additional forms or follow additional procedures. You should contact your Financial Intermediary regarding purchases, exchanges and redemptions. Please see “How do I open an account?” for more details.

On occasion, the NYSE will close before 4:00 p.m. ET. When that happens, purchase orders accepted by the Fund or a Financial Intermediary after the NYSE closes will be effective the following business day.

If a Financial Intermediary holds your shares, it is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary to send your purchase order to the Fund. Your Financial Intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time for purchase orders.

Share ownership is electronically recorded, therefore no certificate will be issued.

The JPMorgan Funds do not authorize market timing and, except for the Funds identified below, use reasonable methods to seek to identify market timers and to prevent such activity. However, there can be no assurance that these methods will prevent market timing or other trading that may be deemed abusive. Market timing is an investment strategy using frequent purchases, redemptions and/or exchanges in an attempt to profit from short-term market movements. Market timing may result in dilution of the value of Fund shares held by long-term shareholders, disrupt portfolio management and increase Fund expenses for all shareholders. Although market timing may affect any Fund, these risks may be higher for Funds that invest significantly in non-U.S. securities or thinly traded securities (e.g., certain small cap securities), such as international, global or emerging market funds or small cap funds. For example, when a Fund invests in securities trading principally in non-U.S. markets that close prior to the close of the NYSE, market timers may seek to take advantage of the difference between the prices of these securities at the close of their non-U.S. markets and the value of such securities when the Fund calculates its net asset value. The JPMorgan Funds or the Distributor will prohibit any purchase order (including exchanges) with respect to one investor, a related group of investors or their agent(s), where they detect a pattern of either purchases and sales of one of the JPMorgan Funds, or exchanges between or among the JPMorgan Funds, that indicates market timing or trading that they determine is abusive.

The JPMorgan Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures that use a variety of methods to identify market timers, including reviewing “round trips” in and out of the JPMorgan Funds by investors. A “round trip” includes a purchase or exchange into a Fund followed or preceded by a redemption or exchange out of the same Fund. If the Distributor detects that you have completed two round trips within 60 days in the same Fund, the Distributor will reject your purchase and exchange orders for a period of at least 90 days. For subsequent violations, the Distributor may, in its sole discretion, reject your purchase and exchange orders temporarily or permanently. In identifying market timers, the Distributor may also consider activity of accounts that it believes to be under common ownership or control.

Market timers may disrupt portfolio management and harm Fund performance. To the extent that the JPMorgan Funds are unable to identify market timers effectively, long-term investors may be adversely affected. Although the JPMorgan Funds use a variety of methods to detect and deter market timing, there is no assurance that the Funds’ own

CONTINUED


operational systems and procedures will identify and eliminate all market-timing strategies. For example, certain accounts, which are known as omnibus accounts, include multiple investors and such accounts typically provide the Funds with a net purchase or redemption order on any given day where purchasers of Fund shares and redeemers of Fund shares are netted against one another and the identity of individual purchasers and redeemers are not known by the Funds. While the Funds seek to monitor for market timing activities in omnibus accounts, the netting effect limits the Funds’ ability to locate and eliminate individual market timers. As a result, the Funds are often dependent upon Financial Intermediaries who utilize their own policies and procedures to identify market timers. These policies and procedures may be different than those utilized by the Funds.

The Funds have attempted to put safeguards in place to assure that Financial Intermediaries have implemented procedures designed to deter market timing and abusive trading. Despite these safeguards, there is no assurance that the Funds will be able to effectively identify and eliminate market timing and abusive trading in the Funds particularly with respect to omnibus accounts.

The JPMorgan Funds will seek to apply the Funds’ market timing policies and restrictions as uniformly as practicable to accounts with the Funds, except with respect to the following:

1. 
  Trades that occur through omnibus accounts at Financial Intermediaries as described above,

2. 
  Purchases, redemptions and exchanges made on a systematic basis,

3. 
  Automatic reinvestments of dividends and distributions,

4. 
  Purchases, redemptions or exchanges that are part of a rebalancing program, such as a wrap program, or

5. 
  Bona fide asset allocation programs.

Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a further description of these arrangements.

Certain of the JPMorgan Funds are intended for short-term investment horizons and do not monitor for market timers or prohibit such short-term trading activity. Those Funds are the JPMorgan Enhanced Income Fund, JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund, JPMorgan Short Term Bond Fund, JPMorgan Short Term Bond Fund II, JPMorgan Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, JPMorgan Tax Aware Enhanced Income Fund, JPMorgan Tax Aware Short-Intermediate Income Fund, JPMorgan Treasury & Agency Fund, JPMorgan Ultra Short Duration Bond Fund and the JPMorgan money market funds. Although these Funds are managed in a manner that is consistent with their investment objectives, frequent trading by shareholders may disrupt their management and increase their expenses.

In addition to rejecting purchase orders in connection with suspected market timing activities, the Distributor can reject a purchase order (including purchase orders for the Funds listed above) for any reason, including purchase orders that it does not think are in the best interests of a Fund and/or its shareholders or if it determines the trading to be abusive. Your Financial Intermediary may also have additional procedures for identifying market timers and rejecting or otherwise restricting purchase orders and/or exchanges.

How much do shares cost?

Shares are sold at net asset value (NAV) per share.

Each class of shares in the Fund has a different NAV. This is primarily because each class has different distribution expenses.

NAV per share is calculated by dividing the total market value of the Fund’s investments and other assets allocable to a class (minus class liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares in that class.

The market value of the Fund’s investments is determined primarily on the basis of readily available market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. If market quotations are not readily available or if available market quotations are determined not to be reliable or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a natural disaster affecting an entire country or region, or an event that affects an individual company), but before the Fund’s NAV is calculated, that security may be valued at its fair value in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. In addition, the Fund has

JPMORGAN U.S. EQUITY FUNDS


8



P R O S P E C T U S    JUNE 12

2007


implemented fair value pricing on a daily basis for all equity securities, except for North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean equity securities, held by the Fund. The fair value pricing utilizes the quotations of an independent pricing service unless the adviser, in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board, determines that the market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security and determines that use of another fair valuation methodology is appropriate.

The Fund’s NAV may change every day. NAV is calculated each business day following the close of the NYSE at 4:00 p.m. ET. On occasion, the NYSE will close before 4:00 p.m. ET. When that happens, NAV will be calculated as of the time the NYSE closes. The price at which a purchase is effected is based on the next calculation of NAV after the order is accepted in accordance with this prospectus. To the extent the Fund invests in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund’s shares may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares.

How do I open an account?

When you make an initial purchase of Fund shares, you must complete the Account Application. Be sure to sign up for all of the account privileges that you plan to take advantage of. Doing so now means that you will not have to complete additional paperwork later.

Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, residential or business street address, date of birth (for an individual) and other information that will allow us to identify you, including your social security number, tax identification number or other identifying number. The Fund cannot waive these requirements. The Fund is required by law to reject your Account Application if the required identifying information is not provided.

We will attempt to collect any missing information required on the Account Application by contacting either you or your Financial Intermediary. If we cannot obtain this information within the established time frame, your Account Application will be rejected. Amounts received prior to receipt of the required information will be held uninvested and will be returned to you without interest if your Account Application is rejected. If the required information is obtained, your investment will be accepted and you will pay the NAV per share next calculated after all of the required information is received.

Once we have received all of the required information, federal law requires us to verify your identity. After an account is opened, we may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. If we are unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time, the Fund reserves the right to close your account at the current day’s NAV per share. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV per share next calculated after the account is closed.

Send the completed Account Application and a check to:

JPMorgan Funds Services
P.O. Box 8528
Boston, MA 02266-8528

All checks must be in U.S. dollars. The Fund does not accept credit cards, cash, starter checks, money orders or credit card checks. The Fund reserves the right to refuse “third-party” checks and checks drawn on non-U.S. financial institutions even if payment may be effected through a U.S. financial institution. Checks made payable to any individual or company and endorsed to JPMorgan Funds or the Fund are considered third-party checks. The redemption of shares purchased through JPMorgan Funds Services by check or an ACH transaction is subject to certain limitations. See “Redeeming Fund Shares — When can I redeem shares?”

All checks must be made payable to one of the following:

  JPMorgan Funds; or

  The specific Fund in which you are investing.

Your purchase may be canceled if your check does not clear, and you will be responsible for any expenses and losses to the Fund.

If you choose to pay by wire, please call 1-800-480-4111 to notify the Fund of your purchase and authorize your financial institution to wire funds to:

NETWORKING AND SUB-TRANSFER AGENCY FEES

The Fund may also directly enter into agreements with Financial Intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund will pay the Financial Intermediary for services such as networking or sub-transfer agency. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on either (1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of clients serviced by such Financial Intermediary up to a set maximum dollar amount per shareholder account serviced, or (2) the number of accounts serviced by such Financial Intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, Rule 12b-1 fees the Financial Intermediary may also be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor. From time to time, JPMIM or its affiliates may pay a portion of the fees for networking or sub-transfer agency at its or their own expense and out of its or their legitimate profits.

EXCHANGING FUND SHARES

What are my exchange privileges?

R Class Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for R Class Shares of another JPMorgan Fund or for any other class of the same Fund.

All exchanges are subject to meeting any investment minimum or eligibility requirements. The JPMorgan Funds do not charge a fee for this privilege. In addition, the JPMorgan Funds may change the terms and conditions of your exchange privileges upon 60 days’ written notice.

Before making an exchange request, you should read the prospectus of the JPMorgan Fund whose shares you would like to purchase by exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any JPMorgan Fund by contacting your Financial Intermediary, by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

When are exchanges processed?

Exchange requests are processed the same business day they are received, provided:

•  
  The Fund receives the request by 4:00 p.m. ET (or before the NYSE closes if the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET).

•  
  You have contacted your Financial Intermediary, if necessary.

•  
  All required documentation in proper form accompanies your exchange request.

Are exchanges taxable?

Generally, an exchange between JPMorgan Funds is considered a sale and generally results in a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

An exchange between classes of shares of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes.

You should talk to your tax advisor before making an exchange.

Are there limits on exchanges?

No. However, the exchange privilege is not intended as a way for you to speculate on short-term movements in the market. Therefore, to prevent disruptions in the management of the JPMorgan Funds, certain JPMorgan Funds limit excessive exchange activity as described in “Purchasing Fund Shares.”

Your exchange privilege will be revoked if the exchange activity is considered excessive. In addition, any JPMorgan Fund may reject any exchange request for any reason, including if it does not think that it is in the best interests of the Fund and/or its shareholders to accept the exchange.

REDEEMING FUND SHARES

When can I redeem shares?

You may redeem all or some of your shares on any day that the Fund is open for business. You will not be permitted, however, to enter a redemption order for shares purchased directly through JPMorgan Funds Services by check or through an ACH transaction for five business days following the acceptance of a purchase order unless you provide satisfactory proof that your purchase check or ACH transaction has cleared. Thereafter, a redemption order can be processed as otherwise described.

Redemption orders accepted by the Fund or a Financial Intermediary before 4:00 p.m. ET (or before the NYSE closes if the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET) will be effective at that day’s price. Your Financial Intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time for redemption orders.

A redemption order is accepted when accompanied by all required documentation in the proper form. The Fund may refuse to honor incomplete redemption orders.

How do I redeem shares?

You may use any of the following methods to redeem your shares:

You may send a written redemption request to your Financial Intermediary, if applicable, or to the Fund at the following address:

JPMorgan Funds Services
P.O. Box 8528
Boston, MA 02266-8528

You may redeem over the telephone. Please see “Can I redeem by telephone?” for more information.

We will need the names of the registered shareholders and your account number and other information before we can sell your shares.

You may also need to have medallion signature guarantees for all registered owners or their legal representatives if:

  You want to redeem shares with a value of $50,000 or more and you want to receive your proceeds in the form of a check; or

  You want your payment sent to an address, bank account or payee other than the one currently designated on your Fund account.

On the Account Application you may elect to have the redemption proceeds mailed or wired to:

1.
  A financial institution; or

2.
  Your Financial Intermediary.

Normally, your redemption proceeds will be paid within one to seven days after receipt of the redemption order. If you have changed your address of record within the previous 30 days, the Fund will not mail your proceeds, but rather will wire them or send them by ACH to a pre-existing bank account on record with the Fund.

The Fund may hold proceeds for shares purchased by ACH or check until the purchase amount has been collected, which may be as long as five business days.

How to Do Business
with the Fund

CONTINUED

What will my shares be worth?

If the Fund or the Financial Intermediary accepts your redemption order before 4:00 p.m. ET (or before the NYSE closes if the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET), you will receive the NAV per share calculated after your redemption order is accepted.

Can I redeem by telephone?

Yes, if you selected this option on your Account Application.

Contact your Financial Intermediary, if applicable, or call 1-800-480-4111 to relay your redemption request.

Your redemption proceeds will be mailed to you at your address of record or wired. If you have changed your address of record within the previous 30 days, the Fund will not mail your proceeds, but rather will wire them or send them by ACH to a pre-existing bank account on record with the Fund.

The Fund uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions given by telephone are genuine. These procedures include recording telephone instructions and asking for personal identification. If these procedures are followed, the Fund will not be responsible for any loss, liability, cost or expense of acting upon unauthorized or fraudulent instructions; you bear the risk of loss.

You may not always reach JPMorgan Funds Services by telephone. This may be true at times of unusual market changes and shareholder activity. You can mail us your instructions or contact your Financial Intermediary. We may modify or cancel the ability to purchase or redeem shares by phone without notice.

You may write to:

JPMorgan Funds Services
P.O. Box 8528
Boston, MA 02266-8528

Additional Information Regarding Redemptions

Generally, all redemptions will be for cash. However, if you redeem shares worth $250,000 or more, the Fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash. If payment is made in securities, the Fund will value the securities selected in the same manner in which it computes its NAV. This process minimizes the effect of large redemptions on the Fund and its remaining shareholders.

The Fund may suspend your ability to redeem when:

1.
  Trading on the NYSE is restricted;

2.
  The NYSE is closed (other than weekend and holiday closings);

3.
  Federal securities laws permit;

4.
  The SEC has permitted a suspension; or

5.
  An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC.

See “Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges” in the Statement of Additional Information for more details about this process.

You generally will recognize a gain or loss on a redemption for federal income tax purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor before making a redemption.

Shareholder Information

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

The Fund can earn income and it can realize capital gain. The Fund deducts any expenses and then pays out these earnings to shareholders as distributions.

The Fund generally distributes any net investment income at least annually. You have three options for your distributions. You may:

• 
  reinvest all of them in additional Fund shares without a sales charge;

• 
  take distributions of net investment income in cash or as a deposit in a pre-assigned bank account and reinvest distributions of net capital gain in additional shares; or

• 
  take all distributions in cash or as a deposit in a pre-assigned bank account.

If you do not select an option when you open your account, we will reinvest all distributions. If your distributions are reinvested, they will be in the form of shares of the same class. The taxation of dividends will not be affected by the form in which you receive them.

For federal income tax purposes, distributions of investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income. Dividends of net investment income paid to a non-corporate U.S. shareholder during a tax year beginning before January 1, 2011 that are properly designated as qualified dividend income will generally be taxable to such shareholder at a maximum rate of 15%. The amount of dividend income that may be so designated by the Fund will generally be limited to the aggregate of the eligible dividends received by the Fund. In addition, the Fund must meet certain holding period requirements with respect to the shares on which the Fund received the eligible dividends, and the non-corporate U.S. shareholder must meet certain holding period requirements with respect to the Fund. Dividends of net investment income that are not designated as qualified dividend income and dividends of net short-term capital gains will be taxable to shareholders at ordinary income rates.

If you receive distributions properly designated as net capital gain, the tax rate will be based on how long the Fund held a particular asset, not on how long you have owned your shares. Distributions of net capital gains (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) from the sale of investments that a Fund owned for more than one year and that are properly designated by the Fund as capital gain dividends will be taxable as long-term capital gains. Distributions attributable to gain from the sale of master limited partnerships (MLPs) that is characterized as ordinary income under the Internal Revenue Code’s recapture provisions will be taxable as ordinary income. Capital gain dividends of a non-corporate U.S. shareholder recognized during a tax year beginning before January 1, 2011 generally will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Capital gain of a corporate shareholder is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. If you buy shares just before a distribution, you will pay tax on the entire amount of the taxable distribution you receive, even though the NAV will be higher on that date because it includes the distribution amount.

The Fund’s investments in certain debt obligations and derivative instruments may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income in excess of the cash generated by such obligations. Thus, the Fund may be required to liquidate other investments, including at times when it is not advantageous to do so, in order to satisfy its distribution requirements and to eliminate tax at the Fund level.

The extent to which the Fund can invest in MLPs is limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, some amounts received by the Fund with respect to its investments in MLPs will likely be treated as a return of capital because of accelerated deductions available with respect to the activities of such MLPs. On the disposition of an investment in such an MLP, the Fund will likely realize taxable income in excess of economic gain with respect to that asset (or if the Fund does not dispose of the MLP, the Fund will likely realize taxable income in excess of cash flow with respect to the MLP in a later period), and the Fund must take such income into account in determining whether the Fund has satisfied its distribution requirements. The Fund may have to borrow or liquidate securities to satisfy its distribution requirements and to meet its redemption requests, even though investment considerations might otherwise make it undesirable for the Fund to sell securities or borrow money at such time.

Shareholder Information

CONTINUED

The Fund’s investments in derivatives, ETFs, REITs, affiliated money market funds and other investment companies could affect the amount, timing, and character of distributions from the Fund, and, therefore, may increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.

Any gain resulting from the sale or exchange of Fund shares will be taxable as long-term or short-term gain, depending upon how long you have held your shares.

The dates on which dividends and capital gains will be distributed are available online at www.jpmorganfunds.com.

Early in each calendar year, the Fund will send you a notice showing the amount of distributions you received in the preceding year and the tax status of those distributions.

Any investor for whom the Fund does not have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number may be subject to backup withholding.

The tax considerations described in this section do not apply to tax-deferred accounts or other non-taxable entities.

The above is a general summary of tax implications of investing in the Fund. Because each investor’s tax consequences are unique, please consult your tax advisor to see how investing in the Fund will affect your own tax situation.

SHAREHOLDER STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The Fund or your Financial Intermediary will send you transaction confirmation statements and quarterly account statements. Please review these statements carefully. The Fund will correct errors if notified within one year of the date printed on the transaction confirmation or account statement. Your Financial Intermediary may have a different cut-off time. JPMorgan Funds will charge a fee for requests for statements that are older than two years. Please retain all of your statements, as they could be needed for tax purposes.

To reduce expenses and conserve natural resources, the Fund will deliver a single copy of prospectuses and financial reports to individual investors who share a residential address, provided they have the same last name or the Fund reasonably believes they are members of the same family. If you would like to receive separate mailings, please call 1-800-480-4111 and the Fund will begin individual delivery within 30 days. If you would like to receive these documents by e-mail, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com and sign up for electronic delivery.

If you are the record owner of your Fund shares (that is, you did not use a Financial Intermediary to buy your shares), you may access your account statements at www.jpmorganfunds.com.

After each fiscal half-year, you will receive a financial report from the Fund. In addition, the Fund will periodically send you proxy statements and other reports.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please write to the JPMorgan Funds Services at P.O. Box 8528, Boston, MA 02266-8528, call 1-800-480-4111 or visit www.jpmorganfunds.com.

Risk and Reward Elements
for the Fund

This table discusses the main elements that may make up the Fund’s overall risk and reward characteristics. It also outlines the Fund’s policies toward various investments, including those that are designed to help the Fund manage risk.

POTENTIAL RISKS          POTENTIAL REWARDS      POLICIES TO BALANCE RISK AND REWARD
 
When-issued and delayed delivery securities
• When the Fund buys securities before issue or for delayed delivery, it could be exposed to leverage risk if it does not segregate or earmark liquid assets
           
• The Fund can take advantage of attractive transaction opportunities
   
• The Fund segregates or earmarks liquid assets to offset leverage risks
 
Short-term trading
           
 
   
 
• Increased trading could raise the Fund’s brokerage and related costs
• Increased short-term capital gains distributions could raise shareholders’ income tax liability. Such an increase in transaction costs and/or tax liability, if not offset by gains from short-term trading, would reduce the Fund’s returns
           
• The Fund could realize gains in a short period of time
• The Fund could protect against losses if a stock is overvalued and its value later falls
   
• The Fund generally avoids short-term trading, except to take advantage of attractive or unexpected opportunities or to meet demands generated by shareholder activity
 
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)1
           
 
   
 
 
• The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and will depend on the value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests
• The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property and interest rates. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties
• REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities
• If a REIT fails to distribute its required taxable income or to satisfy the other requirements of REIT status, it would be taxed as a corporation, and amounts available for distribution to shareholders (including a Fund) would be reduced by any corporate taxes payable by the REIT
           
• The Fund can gain exposure to an additional asset class in order to further diversify its assets
• The Fund may receive current income from its REIT investments
• If a REIT meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, it will not be taxed on income it distributes to its shareholders; as a result, more income can be distributed by the REIT
   
•  The Fund’s adviser will carefully evaluate particular REITs before and after investment based on its investment process and will also monitor economic and real estate trends affecting the value of REITs

  REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income-producing real estate or loans related to real estate.

POTENTIAL RISKS          POTENTIAL REWARDS      POLICIES TO BALANCE RISK AND REWARD
 
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and other investment companies
• If the Fund invests in shares of another investment company, shareholders would bear not only their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also similar expenses of the investment company
• The price movement of an ETF may not track the underlying index, market, sector, regions or industries and may result in a loss
           
• Helps to manage smaller cash flows
• Investing in ETFs offers instant exposure to an index or a broad range of markets, sectors, geographic regions and industries
   
• Generally, the Fund’s investments in other investment companies, including ETFs, are subject to the percentage limitations of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)1
• Exemptive orders granted to various iShares funds (which are ETFs), other ETFs and their investment advisers by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permit the Fund to invest beyond the 1940 Act limits, subject to certain terms and conditions, including a finding of the Fund’s Board that the advisory fees charged by the adviser are for services that are in addition to, and not duplicative of, the advisory services provided to those ETFs
• Under SEC Rule 12d1-1, the Fund may invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated money market funds without limit subject to the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and the conditions of the rule
 
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs)
           
 
   
 
 
• Holders of MLP units have limited control and voting rights, similar to those of a limited partner
• An MLP could be taxed, contrary to its intention, as a corporation, resulting in decreased returns
• MLPs may, for tax purposes, affect the character of the gain and loss realized by the Fund and affect the holding period of the Fund’s assets
           
• MLPs can offer attractive returns
• MLPs may offer more attractive yields or potential growth than comparable equity securities
• MLPs offer attractive potential performance and opportunities for diversification
   
• The Fund will limit its direct and indirect investments in MLPs to maintain its status as a registered investment company
• The Fund anticipates that its total investments in MLPs will not exceed 10% of total assets
 
  Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not own more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of another investment company. Additionally, the Fund’s aggregate investments in other investment companies are restricted as follows: no more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets when the Fund invests in another investment company; and no more than 10% of its total assets when the Fund invests in two or more investment companies.

Derivatives*
           
 
   
 
• Derivatives such as futures, options, swaps, and forward foreign currency contracts1 that are used for hedging the portfolio or specific securities may not fully offset the underlying positions and this could result in losses to the Fund that would not have otherwise occurred
• The Fund may have difficulty exiting a derivatives position
• Derivatives used for risk management or to increase the Fund’s gain may not have the intended effects and may result in losses or missed opportunities
• The counterparty to a derivatives contract could default
• Derivatives that involve leverage could magnify losses
• Certain types of derivatives involve costs to the Fund which can reduce returns
• Segregated or earmarked assets and collateral accounts established in connection with derivatives may limit the Fund’s investment flexibility
• Derivatives used for non-hedging purposes could cause losses that exceed the original investment
• Derivatives may, for tax purposes, affect the character of gain and loss realized by the Fund, accelerate recognition of income to the Fund, affect the holding period of the Fund’s assets, and defer recognition of certain of a Fund’s losses
           
• Hedges that correlate well with underlying positions can reduce or eliminate losses at low cost
• The Fund could make money and protect against losses if the investment analysis proves correct
• Derivatives that involve leverage could generate substantial gains at low cost
   
• The Fund uses derivatives, such as futures, options, swaps and forward foreign currency contracts, for hedging and for risk management (i.e., to adjust duration or yield curve exposure or to establish or adjust exposure to particular securities, markets or currencies); risk management may include management of the Fund’s exposure relative to its benchmark; the Fund may also use derivatives in an effort to produce increased income or gain
• The Fund only establishes hedges that it expects will be highly correlated with underlying positions
• While the Fund may use derivatives that incidentally involve leverage, it does not use them for the specific purpose of leveraging their portfolio
• The Fund segregates or earmarks liquid assets to cover its derivatives and offset a portion of the average risk
 
  The Fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a “commodity pool operator” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act because the Fund has claimed an exclusion from that definition.

  A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a set quantity of an underlying instrument at a future date, or to make or receive a cash payment based on changes in the value of a securities index. An option is the right to buy or sell a set quantity of an underlying instrument at a predetermined price. A swap is a privately negotiated agreement to exchange one stream of payments for another. A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a given currency on a future date and at a set price.

Market conditions
           
 
   
 
 
• The Fund’s share price and performance will fluctuate in response to stock and/or bond market movements
• The market value of convertible securities and other debt securities tends to fall when prevailing interest rates rise. The value of convertible securities also tends to change whenever the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock fluctuates.
• Adverse market, economic, political or other conditions may from time to time cause the Fund to take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its principal investment strategies and may hinder the Fund from achieving its investment objective
• The Fund is non-diversified, which means that a relatively high percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, its performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or a group of issuers
           
• Stocks have generally outperformed more stable investments (such as bonds and cash equivalents) over the long term
   
• Under normal circumstances the Fund plans to remain fully invested in accordance with its policies and the Fund may invest uninvested cash in affiliated money market funds; in addition to the securities described in the Fund Summary, equity securities may include convertible securities1, preferred stocks2, depositary receipts, (such as American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts), trust or partnership interests, warrants and rights3 and investment company securities
• The Fund seeks to limit risk and enhance performance through active management and/or diversification
• During severe market downturns, the Fund has the option of investing up to 100% of its assets in high quality short-term instruments
 
Management choices
           
 
   
 
• The Fund could underperform its benchmark due to its securities and asset allocation choices
           
• The Fund could outperform its benchmark due to these same choices
   
• The adviser focuses its active management on securities selection, the area where it believes its commitment to research can most enhance returns and manage risks in a consistent way

Foreign investments
           
 
   
 
• Currency exchange rate movements could reduce gains or create losses
• The Fund could lose money because of foreign government actions, political instability or lack of adequate and accurate information
• Currency and investment risks tend to be higher in emerging markets; these markets also present higher liquidity and valuation risks
           
• Favorable exchange rate movements could generate gains or reduce losses
• Foreign investments, which represent a major portion of the world’s securities, offer attractive potential performance and opportunities for diversification
• Emerging markets can offer higher returns
   
• The Fund anticipates that total foreign investments will not exceed 20% of total assets
• The Fund actively manages the currency exposure of its foreign investments relative to their benchmarks, and may hedge back into the U.S. dollar from time to time (see also “Derivatives”); these currency management techniques may not be available for certain emerging markets investments
 
Illiquid holdings
           
 
   
 
• The Fund could have difficulty valuing these holdings precisely
• The Fund could be unable to sell these holdings at the time or price it desires
           
• These holdings may offer more attractive yields or potential growth than comparable widely traded securities
   
• The Fund may not invest more than 15% of net assets in illiquid holdings
• To maintain adequate liquidity to meet redemptions, the Fund may hold high quality short-term securities (including repurchase agreements) and, for temporary or extraordinary purposes, may borrow from banks up to 33-1/3% of the value of its total assets including drawing on a line of credit
 
U.S. government and agency securities
           
 
   
 
• The value of most debt securities, including government and agency securities, will fall when interest rates rise; the longer a security’s maturity and the lower its credit quality, the more its value typically falls
• Indebtedness of certain government issuers whose securities may be held by the Fund, including the well-known Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), is not entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and is thus subject to the risk of default in the payment of interest and/or principal like the indebtedness of private issuers
• Government agency issued mortgage-backed securities (securities representing an interest in, or secured by, a pool of mortgages) involve risk of loss due to payments that occur earlier or later than expected
           
•  Most bonds will rise in value when interest rates fall
• Government and agency securities have generally outperformed money market instruments over the long-term with less risk than stocks or debt securities of lower quality issuers
• Mortgage-backed securities can offer attractive returns
   
•  The Fund seeks to limit risk and enhance performance through active management
• The adviser monitors interest rate trends, as well as geographic and demographic information related to mortgage-backed securities

Appendix A—Legal Proceedings Relating to Banc One
Investment Advisors Corporation and Certain of its Affiliates

None of the actions described below allege that any unlawful activity took place with respect to the Fund whose shares are offered in this prospectus.

Prior to becoming an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase, on June 29, 2004, Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation (BOIA), now known as JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc., entered into agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the New York Attorney General (NYAG) in resolution of investigations conducted by the SEC and the NYAG into market timing of certain funds advised by BOIA which were series of One Group Mutual Funds, possible late trading of certain funds and related matters. In its settlement with the SEC, BOIA consented to the entry of an order by the SEC (the SEC Order) instituting and settling administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against it. Under the terms of the SEC Order and the NYAG settlement agreement, BOIA agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and a civil money penalty of $40 million for a total payment of $50 million, which will be distributed to certain current and former shareholders of certain funds. Pursuant to the settlement agreement with the NYAG, BOIA reduced its management fee for certain funds which were series of One Group Mutual Funds (now known as JPMorgan Trust II) in the aggregate amount of approximately $8 million annually over a five-year period commencing September, 2004.

In addition to the matters involving the SEC and NYAG, various lawsuits were filed by private plaintiffs in connection with these circumstances in various state and federal courts. These actions were transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings by the orders of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, a federal judicial body that assists in the administration of such actions. The plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints, naming as defendants, among others, BOIA, Bank One Corporation and JPMorgan Chase (the former and current corporate parent of BOIA), the Distributor, One Group Services Company (the former distributor of One Group Mutual Funds), certain officers of One Group Mutual Funds and BOIA, and certain current and former Trustees of One Group Mutual Funds. These complaints alleged, among other things, that various defendants (i) violated various antifraud and other provisions of federal securities laws, (ii) breached their fiduciary duties, (iii) unjustly enriched themselves, (iv) breached Fund-related contracts, and (v) conspired to commit unlawful acts.

As of June 14, 2006, all claims against One Group Mutual Funds and current and former Trustees were dismissed by the United States District Court in Maryland. Certain claims against BOIA and its affiliates have also been dismissed, and a settlement in principle has been reached for the purpose of resolving all remaining claims in the litigation in Maryland. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In addition, on August 30, 2005, the commissioner of the West Virginia Securities Division entered a Summary Cease and Desist Order and Notice of Right to Hearing with respect to JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. In June 2007, the matter, which generally related to the same facts that were the subject of the SEC Order and NYAG settlement discussed above, was settled, and the West Virginia Order will be vacated.

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Additional lawsuits presenting allegations and requests for relief arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters may be filed against these and related parties in the future.
