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.

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:  
     1 Year     3 Years  
CLASS R2 SHARES ($)     140        599   
CLASS R5 SHARES ($)     69        383   
CLASS R6 SHARES ($)     64        367   

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.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The Fund seeks to provide exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies (including companies in emerging markets) across all market capitalization ranges. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will strategically and tactically allocate the Fund’s assets across equity sub-asset classes seeking attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Fund intends to gain exposure to equity securities primarily by investing in J.P. Morgan Funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (unaffiliated ETFs) (collectively, the “underlying funds”).

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), American Depositary Shares (ADS), convertible securities, warrants and rights, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and underlying funds that invest primarily in such instruments.

In managing the Fund, the Adviser establishes strategic target allocations among equity sub-asset classes at least on an annual basis. In determining the strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on equity sub-asset classes and underlying funds that it believes will outperform the Fund’s benchmark over the long term. The Adviser will review these allocations at least annually and may make changes when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund, including, but not limited to, adding or removing equity sub-asset classes or underlying funds, changing the equity sub-asset class allocations or allocations to underlying funds or maintaining the strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time.

The Fund’s strategic target allocations among equity sub-asset classes as of the date of this prospectus are set forth below:

 

Asset Class   Strategic  Target1
Allocation
     Ranges
U.S. Equity, including Small-, Medium- and Large-Cap Equity     59.5%       +/- 15%
REITs     6.0%       +/- 10%
International Equity     22.0%       +/- 15%
Emerging Markets Equity     12.5%       +/- 10%

 

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 Adviser will also use tactical allocations to pursue short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of

positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including futures contracts. As a result of tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by the ranges indicated above. These ranges apply to both the equity sub-asset classes and types of underlying funds that provide exposure to these equity sub-asset classes. The Adviser will review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion. 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.

In addition to investing in underlying funds, the Fund may also invest directly in individual securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures contracts for purposes of cash management and to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various sectors or markets. Futures may also be used for interest rate risk management to adjust the duration position of the Fund.

The Adviser may hire sub-advisers to manage any of the subasset classes noted above and to make direct investments in securities and other financial instruments. When using subadvisers to manage the Fund’s assets, the Adviser, subject to certain conditions and oversight by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, will have the right to hire, terminate, or replace subadvisers without shareholder approval.

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.

 

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.

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.

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.

ETF Risk. The Fund and underlying funds may invest in shares of ETFs. The Fund indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount).

Tactical Allocation Risk. The Adviser has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or decrease the exposure to equity sub-asset classes and investments. 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 strategic target allocation from time to time.

Equity Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest 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 underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the underlying fund’s securities goes down, the Fund’s investment in the underlying fund decreases in value.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risks. Underlying funds that invest in foreign currencies, foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) 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.” The Fund may focus its investments in a single country or small group of countries and be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. 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.

Country and Region Risk. Some of the underlying funds concentrate their investments in securities of a single country or region (e.g., China Region, India, Latin America or Russia). Because these underlying funds concentrate their investments in a single country or region, their performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that can invest globally.

Real Estate Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including 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.

Smaller Companies Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies which 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. Derivatives, including futures, may be riskier than other investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund or underlying fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund and underlying funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. In addition, the Fund and certain of the underlying funds may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, which increases the Fund’s or the underlying funds’ potential for loss. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund and the underlying funds do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Index Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds, including ETFs, in which the Fund may invest are index funds. Index funds are not actively managed and are designed to track the performance and holdings of a specified index. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by an index fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. There is also the risk that the underlying fund’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.

Preferred Stock Risk. The Fund and certain underlying funds may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

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).

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.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
