Strategy [Heading]

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2010 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that since the target retirement date (2010) has passed, the Fund has generally reached its most conservative strategic target allocations. However, the Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations currently approximate those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund. As a result, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2010 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2010 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 12% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2020 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2020 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund's asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund's strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund's long term strategic target allocations. The Fund's actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund's actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund's shareholder reports and on the Fund's website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund's strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund's strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund's benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2015 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2015 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 10% for equity, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources, +/- 15% for fixed income and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2015 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2015 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs).

These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading]

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2035 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2035 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser's expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund's strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund's investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund's Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund's investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund's investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund's tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund's investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's or an underlying fund's original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund's direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 12% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2020 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2020 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2020 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2020 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2030 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2050^® Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2050 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

R2 Shares | JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2040 Fund

JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund

Class/Ticker: R2/SMTZX

What is the goal of the Fund?

The Fund seeks high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes the target retirement date.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		R2 Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2040 Fund Class R2
Management Fees		none
Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Fees		0.50%
Other Expenses		0.40%
Shareholder Service Fees		0.25%
Remainder of Other Expenses		0.15%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund)		0.75%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		1.65%
Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	[1]	(0.36%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements	[1]	1.29%

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
R2 Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2040 Fund CLASS R2 SHARES	131	485	863	1,924

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
R2 Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2040 Fund CLASS R2 SHARES	131	485	863	1,924

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2040 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2040 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2040 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2055 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2055 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund.

Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs).

These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2050 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2050 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2045 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050+ Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy [Heading]

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2040 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2040 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2040 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2015 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2015 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 10% for equity, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources, +/- 15% for fixed income and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST WOULD BE:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2035 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2035 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser's expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund's strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund's investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund's Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund's investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund's investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund's tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund's investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's or an underlying fund's original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund's direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund's Select Class Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2035 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2035 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund's designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2030 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser's expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year (January 31, 2012 through June 30, 2012), the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2055 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2055 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity- linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The Fund commenced operations on January 31, 2012 and, therefore, has no reportable performance history. Once the Fund has operated for at least one calendar year, a bar chart and performance table will be included in the prospectus to show the performance of the Fund. Although past performance of a Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

[1] "Other Expenses" and "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund)" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

[2] The Fund's adviser, administrator and distributor (the Service Providers) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund), dividend expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees' deferred compensation plan) exceed 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class Shares. This contract cannot be terminated prior to 11/1/13 at which time the Service Providers will determine whether or not to renew or revise it.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® Income Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Select Class Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Institutional Shares | JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2025 Fund

JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund

Class/Ticker: Institutional/JNSIX

What is the goal of the Fund?

The Fund seeks high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes the target retirement date.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2025 Fund Institutional Class
Management Fees		none
Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Fees		none
Other Expenses		0.19%
Shareholder Service Fees		0.10%
Remainder of Other Expenses		0.09%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund)		0.69%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		0.88%
Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	[1]	(0.15%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements	[1]	0.73%

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2025 Fund INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES	75	266	473	1,071

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2025 Fund INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES	75	266	473	1,071

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2025 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity- linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2025 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2015 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2015 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 10% for equity, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources, +/- 15% for fixed income and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2015 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2015 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2035 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2035 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2030 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2030 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2035 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2035 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2035 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2035 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2035 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2035 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2035 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2035 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2050 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2050 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date.

The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2045 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050+ Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2020 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2020 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2020 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2020 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Strategy [Heading]

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2055 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2055 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity- linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® Income Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Select Class Shares for the past five calendar years.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year (January 31, 2012 through June 30, 2012), the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2055 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2055 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The Fund commenced operations on January 31, 2011 and, therefore, has no reportable performance history. Once the Fund has operated for at least one calendar year, a bar chart and performance table will be included in the prospectus to show the performance of the Fund. Although past performance of a Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

[1] "Other Expenses" and "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund)" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

[2] The Fund's adviser, administrator and distributor (the Service Providers) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund), dividend expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees' deferred compensation plan) exceed 0.54% of the average daily net assets of the Class R2 Shares. This contract cannot be terminated prior to 11/1/13 at which time the Service Providers will determine whether or not to renew or revise it.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable.

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default.

The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2025 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2025 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2040 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund

Class/Ticker: Institutional/JSMIX

What is the goal of the Fund?

The Fund seeks high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes the target retirement date.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2030 Fund Institutional Class
Management Fees		none
Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Fees		none

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2030 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2030 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2010 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that since the target retirement date (2010) has passed, the Fund has generally reached its most conservative strategic target allocations. However, the Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations currently approximate those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund. As a result, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2010 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2010 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2015 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2015 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future. .

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 10% for equity, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources, +/- 15% for fixed income and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy [Heading]

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2010 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that since the target retirement date (2010) has passed, the Fund has generally reached its most conservative strategic target allocations.

However, the Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations currently approximate those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund. As a result, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser's expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund's strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund's investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund's Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund's investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund's investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund's tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund's investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's or an underlying fund's original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund's direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

R2 Shares | JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2045 Fund

JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2045 Fund

Class/Ticker: R2/JSAZX

What is the goal of the Fund?

The Fund seeks high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes the target retirement date.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		R2 Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2045 Fund Class R2
Management Fees		none
Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Fees		0.50%
Other Expenses		0.43%
Shareholder Service Fees		0.25%
Remainder of Other Expenses		0.18%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund)		0.75%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		1.68%
Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	[1]	(0.39%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements	[1]	1.29%

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
R2 Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2045 Fund CLASS R2 SHARES	131	492	876	1,954

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
R2 Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2045 Fund CLASS R2 SHARES	131	492	876	1,954

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2045 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2045 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2045 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2045 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2025 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity- linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2055 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2055 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® Income Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is

beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST WOULD BE:

SELECT CLASS SHARES	83	289	512	1,154

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2015 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2015 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 10% for equity, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources, +/- 15% for fixed income and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 12% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2020 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2020 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2020 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2020 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2045 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2045 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2045 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2045 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2040 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2045^® Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2045 (target retirement date).

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs).

These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Select Class Shares for the past four calendar years.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2015 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2015 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 10% for equity, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources, +/- 15% for fixed income and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor.

The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2030 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2030 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST WOULD BE:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2025 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2025 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2040 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2020 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2020 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 12% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2020 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2020 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund's asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund's strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund's long term strategic target allocations. The Fund's actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund's actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund's shareholder reports and on the Fund's website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund's strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund's strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund's benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that since the target retirement date (2010) has passed, the Fund has generally reached its most conservative strategic target allocations. However, the Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations currently approximate those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund. As a result, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2030 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2030 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser's expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2025 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund Institutional Class
Management Fees		none

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/13 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES	60	224	401	915

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Shares JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES	60	224	401	915

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® Income Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2010 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that since the target retirement date (2010) has passed, the Fund has generally reached its most conservative strategic target allocations.

However, the Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations currently approximate those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund. As a result, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser's expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund's strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund's investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund's Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund's investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund's investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund's tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund's investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's or an underlying fund's original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.)

With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® Income Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is

beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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 investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2040 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2040 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year (January 31, 2012 through June 30, 2012), the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2055 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2055 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs).

These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The Fund commenced operations on January 31, 2012 and, therefore, has no reportable performance history. Once the Fund has operated for at least one calendar year, a bar chart and performance table will be included in the prospectus to show the performance of the Fund. Although past performance of a Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2025 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2025 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2025 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2035 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2035 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2050^® Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2050 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2045 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2045 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2045 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2045 Funds Average, an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the S&P index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A Shares prior to the inception of Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

Strategy [Heading]

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2050 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2050 (target retirement date). The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset and sub-asset classes generally become more conservative as the target retirement date approaches (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income and less on equity). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources and +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that the Fund intends to reach its most conservative strategic target allocations by the end of the year of the target retirement date. When the strategic target allocations of the Fund are substantially the same as those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the Adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments shown in the glide path. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the glide path from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

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.

Strategy [Heading]

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement^® 2010 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds), and is generally intended for investors who are retired or about to retire soon. The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, with an emphasis on fixed income funds over equity funds and other funds. The Fund’s strategic target allocations among various asset and sub-asset classes as of November 1, 2012 are set forth below:

Strategic Target Allocations1
Fixed Income	55.5	%
U.S. Fixed Income	33.5	%
Inflation Managed	10.0	%
High Yield	7.5	%
Emerging Markets Debt	4.5	%
Equity	31.0	%
U.S. Large Cap Equity	16.0	%
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity	3.5	%
REIT	2.5	%
International Equity	7.0	%
Emerging Markets Equity	2.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Money Market/Cash and Cash Equivalents	10.0	%
Commodities & Global Natural Resources	3.5	%
Commodities	1.5	%
Global Natural Resources	2.0	%

1 As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund utilizes underlying funds to implement its strategic target allocations although the Fund also has flexibility to utilize direct investments in securities and derivatives to implement its strategic target allocations in the future.

These strategic target allocations represent J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.’s (JPMIM or the Adviser) view of how the Fund’s investments should be allocated over the long term. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to tactical allocations. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives. As a result of these tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for fixed income, +/- 10% for equity, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodities and global natural resources. These ranges apply to both the asset and sub-asset classes. Updated information concerning the Fund’s actual allocations to underlying funds and investments will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

The Fund is a “to” target date fund. This means that since the target retirement date (2010) has passed, the Fund has generally reached its most conservative strategic target allocations. However, the Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations among the various asset and sub-asset classes on at least an annual basis and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding new asset and sub-asset classes, removing asset and sub-asset classes, changing the asset and sub-asset class allocations, changing the types of underlying funds or underlying fund allocations or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes would outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will also review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations currently approximate those of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund. As a result, the Fund may be merged into the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition to investing in J.P. Morgan Funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, and such investments will be allocated to the appropriate asset class, as applicable. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. The Fund may also use exchange traded futures for cash management and to gain market exposure pending investment in underlying funds.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The Fund is exposed to the risks summarized below through both its investments in underlying funds and its direct investments.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Investment Risk. The Fund is not a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income to an investor. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. You should consider your expected retirement date, individual retirement needs (i.e., how much money you expect to need), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets, and risk tolerance in choosing whether to invest in the Fund. Your risk tolerance may change over time and the Adviser may change the Fund’s strategic target allocation model. It is important that you re-evaluate your investment in the Fund periodically.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments listed above. The Fund’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid.

High Yield Securities Risk. Investments in securities and instruments issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 or the underlying Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Smaller Companies Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may be exposed through its direct investments or investments in underlying funds to real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). These securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITS are subject to risks associated with management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs.

Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds and the Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts and exchange traded futures. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund and the underlying funds. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund and the underlying funds to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Commodity Risk. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Natural Resources Risk. Equity and equity-like securities of natural resources companies and associated businesses may be negatively impacted by variations, often rapid, in the commodities markets, the supply of and demand for specific products and services, the supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, economic conditions, events relating to international political developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects. Therefore, the securities of companies in the natural resources sector may experience more price volatility than securities of companies in other industries.

Inflation Managed Strategy Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying funds that utilize derivatives and debt securities to mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. There is no guarantee that this strategy will be effective. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments on inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (i.e., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). Exposure to TIPS and other inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of a TIPS tends to decline when real interest rates increase.

Direct Investment Risk. The Fund’s direct investments in securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks; debt securities are subject to credit risk).

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices
