CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early

September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

The global financial market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The U.S. equity market was highly resilient during the reporting period given overall robust investor demand, solid corporate profits and continued accommodative monetary policy. All told, the S&P 500 Index finished the reporting period with a 27.18% gain.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      7.34%   
BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.09%   
S&P 500 Index      27.18%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)      $86,021   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s positioning in the pharmaceutical/medical technology, banks and brokers and utilities sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Detracting from the Fund’s performance was its positioning in the real estate investment trust (REIT) and industrial cyclical sectors.

Individual contributors to performance included the Fund’s long positions in three media companies: Time Warner, Inc., Google, Inc. and CBS Corp. Shares of Time Warner, Inc., a U.S.-based media company, moved sharply higher after the company reported higher-than-expected revenues from programming and advertising. Google, Inc., a U.S.-based company that provides a variety of internet services and products, benefited from increasing growth in mobile advertising. In addition, its Android operating system built a commanding lead over rival Apple in the lucrative smart-phone market. CBS Corp., an American broadcast television network, reported strong revenue and earnings growth across most of its business lines.

Individual detractors to performance included the Fund’s short positions in Netflix, Inc., The Hershey Company and Lockheed-Martin, Inc. Shares of Netflix, Inc., which provides subscription-based access to television shows and movies, moved sharply

higher after the company reported better-than-expected subscriber growth. Lower commodity costs and sales growth in the U.S. and international markets sent shares of The Hershey Company, North America’s largest chocolate manufacturer, higher. Despite cuts in defense spending, shares of Lockheed-Martin, Inc., a U.S. defense, aerospace and security company, also rose, as the well-diversified company moved into lucrative new markets such as cyber-security.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to construct a portfolio of long and short positions, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. Based on this research, they ranked stocks in the U.S. large-cap universe into quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top two quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and looked to the bottom two quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued. The Fund’s portfolio managers attempted to limit the Fund’s overall market risk, holding long and short positions across a broad array of sectors. The Fund’s average long exposure was 113% and its average short exposure was -78%.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on May 28, 2010.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index from May 28, 2010 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred

by the Fund. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% sales charge.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)      $713,531   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s stock selection in the pharmaceutical/medical technology, utilities and semiconductors sectors contributed to its performance, while the Fund’s stock selection in the media, real estate investment trust (REIT) and health services and systems sectors detracted from results.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s return included long positions in Celgene Corp. and Biogen Idec, Inc., along with a short position in Eli Lilly & Co. Shares of Celgene Corp., a U.S. biotechnology company that manufactures drug therapies for cancer and inflammatory disorders, rallied as the company reported expanding profit margins for its well diversified product line. Shares of Biogen Idec, Inc., another U.S. biotechnology company, moved sharply higher on news of improving revenue growth. The company also received federal approval for its drug aimed at fighting multiple sclerosis. The Fund’s short position in shares of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Co. was beneficial as the company’s shares struggled due to concerns over expiring patent protection for several of its key products.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s performance included a short position in Netflix, Inc. and long positions in Broadcom Corp. and Apple, Inc. Shares of Netflix, Inc., which provides subscription-based access to television shows and movies, moved sharply higher after the company reported better-than-expected subscriber growth. Shares of Broadcom Corp., a U.S. semiconductor company in the wireless and broadband communication business, fell sharply due to a poor earnings report and weaker outlook. Apple, Inc., a leading manufacturer of smartphones, tablets and high-end personal computers, lost market share to rival Samsung Electronics in the key smartphone category, fueling investor concerns about slowing sales growth.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to construct a portfolio of long and short positions with a low correlation to traditional investments such as stocks and bonds. The Fund’s portfolio managers used fundamental research to estimate companies’ long-term earnings forecasts, ranking approximately 600 large- and mid-cap stocks into quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top two quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and the bottom two quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued.

Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

Because Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 Year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(d) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01%, unless otherwise noted.
(e) The net expenses and expenses without waivers, reimbursements and earnings credits (excluding dividend expense and interest expense for securities sold short) for Class A are 1.75% and 2.19% for 2013, 1.75% and 2.09% for 2012, 1.75% and 2.29% for 2011 and 1.75% and 3.24% for 2010; for Class C are 2.25% and 2.69% for 2013, 2.25% and 2.59% for 2012, 2.25% and 2.73% for 2011 and 2.22% and 5.40% for 2010; for Class R5 are 1.30% and 1.74% for 2013, 1.30% and 1.64% for 2012, 1.30% and 1.83% for 2011 and 1.28% and 5.22% for 2010; for Select Class are 1.50% and 1.93% for 2013, 1.50% and 1.83% for 2012, 1.50% and 2.04% for 2011 and 1.48% and 5.39% for 2010, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Research Equity Long/Short Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Diversified (effective 2/28/13)
Research Market Neutral Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of Research Equity Long/Short Fund is to seek to provide long term capital appreciation.

The investment objective of Research Market Neutral Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

Effective November 1, 2009, Class B Shares of the Research Market Neutral Fund may not be purchased or acquired by new or existing shareholders, except through exchanges from Class B Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund and dividend reinvestments. Shareholders who have invested in Class B Shares prior to November 1, 2009 may continue to hold their Class B Shares until they convert automatically to Class A Shares.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B and Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R5, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

 

 
34       J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

Please refer to the SOIs for industry specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Futures Contracts — The Research Market Neutral Fund uses index futures contracts to more effectively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation

(depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s futures contracts activity during the year ended October 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

(a) Average for the periods January 1, 2013 through January 31, 2013 and August 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013.

C. Short Sales — The Funds engage in short sales as part of their normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Funds sell securities they do not own. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Funds borrow securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Funds deliver the same securities to the broker.

The Funds are required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the SOIs. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net income or fee is reported as interest income or interest expense, respectively, on securities sold short in the Statements of Operations.

The Funds are obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statements of Operations as dividend expense on securities sold short.

Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Funds are also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Funds will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds replace the borrowed security. The Funds will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.

At October 31, 2013, the Funds had outstanding short sales as listed on their SOIs.

D. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, less dividend expense on securities sold short, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publically available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

E. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

F. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid annually for the Research Equity Long/Short Fund, and are generally declared and paid quarterly for the Research Market Neutral Fund and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. Each Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

For the Funds, the cumulative timing differences primarily consist of late year loss deferrals, loss deferrals on unsettled short sales, straddle loss deferrals and wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

At October 31, 2013, the Funds had pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

Research Equity Long/Short Fund

   $ 1,081   

Research Market Neutral Fund

     11,949   

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any during the period then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The J.P. Morgan Investor Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own, in the aggregate 34.4% of the net assets of the Research Market Neutral Fund.

Additionally, Research Equity Long/Short Fund has several shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that own significant portions of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

As of October 31, 2013, the Research Equity Long/Short Fund pledged a substantial portion of its assets to BNP Paribas for securities sold short and the Research Market Neutral Fund pledged substantially all of its assets to Goldman Sachs & Co. for securities sold short. For the Research Equity Long/Short Fund and the Research Market Neutral Fund, deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, are held at BNP Paribas or Goldman Sachs & Co., respectively.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and Shareholders of JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund and JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund and JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed

approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider

Table of Contents

and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Funds in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to

assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Research Equity Long/Short Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance.

The Trustees noted that the Research Market Neutral Fund’s performance was in the second, fifth and third quintiles for Class A shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and in the second and fifth quintiles for Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the investment committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Research Equity Long/Short Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the third quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the second and third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Research Market Neutral Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the third quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the third and second quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury

yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well-diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      (1.63)%   
BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month   
U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.09%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 274,867   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”), previously known as Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund, seeks to provide long-term absolute (positive) returns in all market environments from a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

Effective December 6, 2013, the Fund’s investment objective changed to read as follows: The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing. In addition, certain of the Fund’s investment strategies and portfolio management team changed effective December 6, 2013 as well. The Fund’s investment performance would have been different if the Fund were managed using the strategies in effect as of December 6, 2013.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

During the reporting period, the global financial markets were impacted by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The U.S. equity market, which was supported by overall robust investor demand, solid corporate profits and continued accommodative monetary policy, generated strong returns for the period, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 27.18% over the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“Highbridge”) used its four forecast themes — fundamental, relative value, event/news and technical/liquidity – to attempt to differentiate

between attractive and unattractive stocks during the reporting period.

The Fund’s event/news forecasts, which attempt to identify and incorporate news and other real time information that may impact stock prices, detracted the most significantly from performance during the reporting period. The Fund’s fundamental forecasts were also negative for performance. Fundamental forecasts take a longer-term perspective and attempt to identify companies that generate strong cash flows and efficiently use their capital base. Elsewhere, the Fund’s technical/liquidity forecasts were modest detractors from results. Technical/liquidity forecasts are based on the idea that stock prices react to and correct short-term imbalances in supply and demand.

The Fund’s relative value forecasts contributed positively to its returns. Relative value forecasts seek to identify stocks that appear mispriced relative to their peers based on financial statement information and the current prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, Highbridge managed the Fund using its proprietary quantitative investment approach. The Fund focused on stock selection and relied on its four forecast themes, which the Fund’s portfolio managers believe should drive stock performance over time. The forecasting component of the process sought to identify equity securities expected to potentially outperform or underperform other equity securities with similar industry and risk characteristics. Highbridge selected the Fund’s holdings by balancing expected returns predicted by its forecasting model against expectations of common market risks and stock-specific risks in the Fund’s portfolio. Highbridge achieved this balance through the use of its proprietary optimization software. The Fund was rebalanced throughout each trading day using a proprietary electronic trading system. The Fund invested across mid- and large-cap U.S. stocks and attempted to generate returns based on the relative price movements of the positions in the Fund, and not the direction of the broader market.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2005.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund, BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and Lipper Alternative Equity Market-Neutral Funds Index from November 30, 2005 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Alternative Equity Market-Neutral Funds Index includes expenses asso-

ciated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. The Lipper Alternative Equity Market-Neutral Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset values for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions.
(b) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(c) The net expenses and expenses without waivers, reimbursements and earnings credits (excluding dividend expenses and interest expense for short sales) for Class A are 1.94% and 2.47% for 2013, 1.94% and 2.62% for 2012, 1.94% and 2.54% for 2011, 1.92% and 2.48% for 2010 and 1.95% and 2.46% for 2009; for Class C are 2.44% and 2.97% for 2013, 2.44% and 3.13% for 2012, 2.44% and 3.04% for 2011, 2.43% and 2.99% for 2010 and 2.45% and 2.96% for 2009; for Select Class are 1.69% and 2.23% for 2013, 1.69% and 2.38% for 2012, 1.69% and 2.29% for 2011, 1.68% and 2.24% for 2010 and 1.70% and 2.21% for 2009 respectively.
(d) Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less.
(e) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(f) Reflects a special dividend paid out during the period by one of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividend the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.42), $(0.48) and $(0.39) for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been (2.85)%, (3.34)% and (2.59)% for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively.
(g) Amount rounds to less than $0.01.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund*    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Diversified

 

* Effective December 6, 2013, the Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund changed its name to JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term absolute (positive) returns in all market environments from a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing. Effective December 6, 2013, the Fund’s investment objective changed to the Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Table of Contents

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):

(c) Value is zero.

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and include, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund did not hold any restricted or illiquid securities.

C. Short Sales — The Fund engages in short sales as part of its normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Fund sells securities it does not own. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund delivers the same securities to the broker.

The Fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the SOI. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net income or fee is reported as interest income or interest expense, respectively, on securities sold short in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statement of Operations as dividend expense on securities sold short.

Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Fund will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.

At October 31, 2013, the Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on its SOI.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets

 

 
OCTOBER 31, 2013   J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS         23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchases of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

E. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, less dividend expense on securities sold short is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Fund records distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

F. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

G. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated

Undistributed

(distributions in

excess of)

Net Investment

Income

      

Accumulated

Net Realized

Gains (Losses)

 
     $ (19,856      $ 21,949         $ (2,093

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to dividend expense for short sale in-lieu of dividend reclass, net operating losses and non-taxable dividends.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As of October 31, 2013, the annual rate was 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is contractually limited to 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until such time as the Fund commences with the borrowing of money from banks for investment purposes.

Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had post-enactment net short-term capital loss carryforwards of approximately $34,304,000.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund pledged substantially all of its assets to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated for securities sold short. Deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are held at Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund (formerly Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund):

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund (formerly Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund) (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides infor- mation about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and, collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory and sub-advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees

discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreements.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser and sub-adviser, as applicable, from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser and sub-adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by

them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser and sub-adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedules for the Fund do not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its

benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the Fund’s performance was in the third, fifth and fourth quintiles for Class A shares and in the third, fifth, and third quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the money market and alternative products committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year. In addition, the Adviser committed to review the Fund’s investment process and then to present the Trustees with any recommended changes.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fifth quintile of the Universe Group. The Trustees also considered information provided by JPMFM and JPMDS related to the sub-advisory structure and distribution strategy of the Fund and, in light of this information, concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September

2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well-diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Developed Markets

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. Global developed equity markets were generally highly resilient during the reporting period given overall robust investor demand and continued accommodative monetary policy. All told, the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 26.88% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Emerging Markets

While emerging market stocks generated a positive return, they underperformed international developed equities during the reporting period. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) gained 6.53%. Headwinds facing emerging market stocks included concerns regarding the trajectory of growth in China, generally weakening commodity prices and rising U.S. interest rates.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary sector and in the financials sector contributed to relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector detracted from relative performance, as did security selection in the consumer staples sector.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. and Turk Hava Yollari. The Fund’s holdings in SJM Holdings Limited, which was not held by the Benchmark, also contributed to relative performance. Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd., a Chinese automobile manufacturer, reported a sharp increase in sales during the reporting period. Shares of Turkish airline Turk Hava Yollari benefited from strong growth in passenger volume. SJM Holdings Limited, an operator of casinos in Macao (near Hong Kong), reported solid gains in revenue and earnings.

Individual detractors from relative performance included Benchmark holdings Tencent Holdings Ltd., a Chinese online

social media company, and Naspers Limited, a South Africa-based multinational media company. Both companies reported strong operating results during the reporting period, and the Fund not having a position in either company negatively impacted relative performance. Also detracting from relative performance was the Fund’s overweight position in Korea Zinc Co., Ltd, which manufactures non-ferrous metal products. The company’s shares slid as commodity prices fell.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers used a combination of top-down and bottom-up research, seeking what they believed to be attractively priced countries, sectors and securities with positive catalysts. As a result of this process, at the end of the reporting period the Fund’s largest overweight versus the Benchmark was in the consumer discretionary sector and the Fund’s largest underweight versus the Benchmark was in the materials sector.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2008.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index from February 28, 2008 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The

MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. The Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index is an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the United States can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      5.47%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      6.53%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)      $3,411,693   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of equity securities from emerging markets issuers.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s stock selection in the consumer discretionary, financials and materials sectors detracted from relative performance. An overweight position and stock selection in the information technology sector contributed to relative performance, as did stock selection in the consumer staples and energy sectors.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Astra International Tbk PT and Kumba Iron Ore Ltd. Shares of Astra International Tbk PT, an Indonesian automotive distributor, declined as company earnings were hurt by rising labor costs and increased competition. South African issuer Kumba Iron Ore Ltd., a supplier of iron ore to the global steel industry, was hurt by falling commodity prices. Also detracting from relative performance was the Fund’s underweight position relative to the Benchmark in Tencent Holdings Ltd., a Chinese online social media company. The company’s shares rose as the firm reported strong operating results during the twelve-month period.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Magnit

OAO, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Delta Electronics, Inc. Shares of Russian food retailer Magnit OAO benefited from the company’s strong sales. Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. is an Indian information technology services and consulting firm. Its shares rallied as the company won a number of large new contracts and announced a special dividend payment. Delta Electronics, Inc., a Taiwan-based power management solutions provider, reported better-than-expected earnings, which helped boost the stock.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the stock level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of this process, at the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweight versus the Benchmark was in the consumer staples sector and the Fund’s largest underweight versus the Benchmark was in the materials sector.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

Returns for Class C Shares prior to its inception date were based on the performance of Class B Shares. The actual returns of Class C Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class C Shares have expenses similar to those of Class B Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index from October 31, 2003 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the maximum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market

capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. The Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index is an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Institutional Class Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

Because Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years, the 10 Year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      21.73%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      25.77%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)      $107,684   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Global Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide both current income and long-term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical, transport services and consumer cyclicals and banks-capital markets sectors detracted from relative performance, as did an underweight position in the automotive sector. Contributing to relative performance were underweight positions and security selection in the basic industries and technology-software sectors, as well as security selection in the utilities sector.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Merck & Co., Inc., Pearson Plc and Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd. Shares of Merck & Co., Inc., a pharmaceutical company, underperformed during the period. Having been a strong performer in the prior twelve-month period ending October 31, 2012, the stock declined during the reporting period, as test results for some of the company’s experimental treatments proved disappointing. Pearson Plc, a British multinational publishing and education company, forecasted weaker-than-expected operating profits as the shift to digital and e-based learning materials undermined demand for college textbooks in its key North American education division. Shares of Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd., a building construction and real estate company, underperformed, held back by questions about how successful Japanese Prime Minister Abe’s government will be in terms of stimulating domestic demand.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Electricite de France SA, ConocoPhillips and BASF SE. Shares of Electricite de France SA, a French power generator, moved higher, driven in part by the prospect that economic activity in the euro zone would improve. The company was also recently granted permission to raise tariffs, even as it continues to cut costs and pay down debt. Shares of ConocoPhillips, an oil and gas producer, performed well on the back of better-than-expected production and earnings results. The company also continued to seek to revamp its portfolio of assets, focusing on its most profitable holdings. Shares of BASF SE, a German chemical company, rallied as cost cuts, recent acquisitions and a focus on more profitable businesses boosted company profits.

HOW THE FUND WAS MANAGED

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection, rigorously researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future growth. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for dividend yielding equity securities that they believed were undervalued and possessed the long-term earnings power and strong cash flow generation that would enable them to grow their dividends.

In addition, the Fund employed futures and currency forwards to help manage cash flows and attempt to keep the Fund’s currency exposure in line with the Benchmark.

FUND SUMMARY

FOR THE PERIOD FEBRUARY 28, 2013 (FUND INCEPTION DATE) THROUGH OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      15.80%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      15.79%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 1,895,199   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) modestly outperformed the MSCI World Index1 (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the period February 28, 2013 through October 31, 2013 (the “reporting period”). The Fund’s security selection in the health care, banks (banks and finance) and utilities sectors contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in the property, industrial cyclical and technology-semiconductor sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Electricite de France SA, Biogen Idec, Inc. and Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Shares of Electricite de France SA, a French power generator, rose amid ongoing cost cutting and growing demand abroad for its nuclear expertise. Biogen Idec, Inc.‘s shares benefited from the biotechnology company’s news of improving revenue growth, which was boosted by robust sales for its AVONEX drug. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. sells gases and chemicals for industrial use. Its shares rallied as the company raised its quarterly dividend. In addition, in July 2013, activist investor William Ackman’s firm Pershing Square Capital Management announced that it had acquired nearly a 10% position in the company.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period included its underweight positions versus the Benchmark in The Boeing Co. and Gilead Sciences, Inc., along with an overweight position in Broadcom Corp. Shares of The Boeing Co., a U.S.-based defense and aerospace company, moved sharply higher on record sales of its 777 and 787

passenger jets. Gilead Sciences, Inc. is a U.S. biotechnology company that discovers, develops and commercializes therapeutics. Its shares rallied as the company increased its revenue outlook and reported successful results from a trial of an experimental cancer drug. Shares of Broadcom Corp., a U.S. semiconductor company in the wireless and broadband communication business, fell sharply due to a poor earnings report and weaker outlook.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund seeks to outperform the Benchmark over time while maintaining similar risk characteristics. In implementing its strategy, the Fund primarily invests in securities included within the universe of the Benchmark. However, the Fund modestly overweights securities in the Benchmark that it considers undervalued, while modestly underweighting or not holding securities in the Benchmark that it considers overvalued. Under normal circumstances, while the Fund anticipates that it will only own a portion, which may represent a minority, of the securities included in the Benchmark, it seeks to achieve similar sector, geographic and risk characteristics to the Benchmark. By owning a large number of securities within the Benchmark, with an emphasis on those that appear undervalued, the Fund seeks returns that modestly exceed those of the Benchmark over the long term with a modest level of tracking error to the Benchmark.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth and income. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s security selection in the financials, energy and information technology sectors was the major detractor from relative performance. Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector also lagged but was partially offset by the Fund’s overweight position in the sector, which was additive to relative performance. The Fund’s underweight position in the utilities sector contributed positively to relative performance.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Tullow Oil plc and Standard Chartered plc. Shares of Tullow Oil plc fell sharply as new projects yielded disappointing results. Standard Chartered plc, a British multinational banking and financial services company that derives a significant portion of its earnings from emerging markets, saw earnings slow at its key business units. Also detracting from relative performance was Benchmark holding Softbank Corp., a Japanese telecommunications firm. The company’s shares rallied sharply in response to its majority purchase of Sprint Corp, as well as increased domestic market share gains, and not having a position in the stock detracted from relative return.

Contributing to relative performance versus the Benchmark were the Fund’s overweight positions in Daikin Industries, Ltd., WPP plc and Sands China Ltd. Shares of Daikin Industries, Ltd., a Japanese multinational air conditioning manufacturer, performed strongly on the back of market share gains in China, a weaker yen and improving economic conditions in Japan. WPP plc, a British advertising and public relations company, reported solid revenue growth, as economic conditions in the key U.S. and UK markets continued to improve. Shares of Sands China Ltd., a developer and operator of casinos in Macao (near Hong Kong), rose to record highs as increased capacity and growing consumer affluence in Asia continued to fuel revenue growth.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of well-managed companies with the potential to grow their earnings faster than their industry peers.

The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas

markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

Because Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      26.18%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) GDP Index      29.17%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 598,976   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities in the MSCI EAFE Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) Index1 (the “Benchmark”).

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s exposure to emerging market securities, which are not held in the Benchmark, drove the Fund’s relative underperformance as emerging market securities underperformed international developed markets securities during the reporting period.

The Fund’s strategy is not a full replication approach. The Fund seeks to achieve a correlation of 0.90 with the Benchmark, without taking into account the Fund’s expenses. Perfect correlation would be 1.00. The tracking error (a measure of how closely the return of a portfolio follows the return of an index to which it is benchmarked) of this strategy during the reporting period can be attributed to the Fund not owning all the names in the Benchmark and the Fund’s exposure to emerging market securities.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Effective February 28, 2013, the Fund’s portfolio management team changed. The Fund’s portfolio managers constructed the Fund with country weightings based on GDP rather than equity market capitalization. Each country was weighted by GDP, because the Fund’s portfolio managers believed that this measure served as a better indication of each country’s potential earning power than traditional market capitalization.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers used a combination of exchange-traded funds and futures to help manage cash flows. The Fund sought returns that modestly exceed those of the Benchmark over the long term with a modest level of risk relative to the Benchmark, and attempted to provide broad international exposure for investors.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      25.60%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      26.88%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)      $1,437,767   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of equity securities of foreign companies in developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s security selection in the energy and technology-hardware sectors detracted from its relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in the telecommunications and basic industries sectors contributed to relative performance.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its out-of-Benchmark positions in Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. and Belle International Holdings Limited. An overweight position in Tullow Oil plc was also negative for performance. Shares of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. fell due to concerns about slowing sales of Apple products. Apple is the largest client of the Taiwanese consumer electronics manufacturer. Shares of Belle International Holdings Limited, a Chinese footwear retailer, fell sharply in the wake of slower Chinese growth and a poor profit report. Tullow Oil plc is engaged in the exploration, development and production of natural gas and oil. The company’s shares fell sharply as new projects yielded disappointing results.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Softbank Corp. and Sands China Ltd., as well as out-of-Benchmark holding Valeo SA. Shares of Softbank Corp., a

Japanese telecommunications firm, rallied sharply in response to the company’s majority purchase of Sprint Corp., as well as increased domestic market share gains. Shares of Sands China Ltd., a developer and operator of casinos in Macao (near Hong Kong), rose to record highs as increased capacity and growing consumer affluence in Asia continued to fuel revenue growth. Shares of Valeo SA, a French automotive parts manufacturer, rose on growing exports to China and North America and the prospect of an improving European economy.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection, seeking to identify what they believed were the most attractive investment opportunities within each sector. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for securities that they believed possessed an attractive valuation signal (as measured by a proprietary dividend discount model) and a timely catalyst that would enable the security to realize its inherent value.

In addition, the Fund employed futures and currency forwards to help manage cash flows and attempt to keep the Fund’s currency exposure in line with that of its Benchmark.

FUND SUMMARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      22.49%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      26.88%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World Index, ex-U.S. (net of foreign withholding taxes)      20.29%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)      $4,296   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Unconstrained Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s underweight position versus the Benchmark in Japan, in particular its lack of exposure to Japanese companies that cater to domestic Japanese demand, was a major detractor from relative performance. The Fund’s exposure to emerging market equities, which are not represented in the Benchmark and underperformed their developed country counterparts, also weighed on performance. Stock selection in the UK and Pacific (ex-Japan) regions contributed to relative return. From a sector perspective, stock selection in the financials and information technology sectors detracted from relative performance. Stock selection and an overweight position versus the Benchmark in the consumer discretionary sector contributed positively to relative return, as did lack of any exposure to the utilities sector.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included overweight positions versus the Benchmark in HDFC Bank, Nitto Denko Corp. and Rio Tinto Plc. Shares of HDFC Bank struggled, as did Indian banks in general, as the Reserve Bank of India raised interest rates and tightened lenders’ access to cash in an effort to stabilize the rupee. Shares of Nitto Denko Corp., a Japanese chemical and materials company, underperformed as operating profits rose less than expected and management’s full year projections fell short of Wall Street estimates. Shares of Rio Tinto Plc, one of the world’s leading

mining companies, fell as concerns about global growth, particularly in China, weighed on commodity prices.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Prudential Plc and Sands China Ltd. Shares of Prudential Plc, a UK-based insurance group, performed well as growth in the company’s Asian operations stimulated earnings, enabling the company to raise dividends. Shares of Sands China Ltd., a developer and operator of casinos in Macao (near Hong Kong), rose to record highs as increased capacity and growing consumer affluence in Asia continued to fuel revenue growth. Also contributing to relative performance was the Fund’s position in out-of-Benchmark holding Atresmedia Corporacion De Medios De Comunicacion Sa. Shares of Atresmedia Corporacion De Medios De Comunicacion Sa, a Spanish television broadcaster, performed well as Spain’s economy emerged from recession and the company received the go-ahead to merge with smaller rival, La Sexta.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund primarily invested in equity securities of international companies and was generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or sector. The Fund invested in companies across capitalization sizes, sectors and geographic locations, including emerging markets.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2011.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan International Unconstrained Equity Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI All Country World Index, ex-U.S. from November 30, 2011 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the MSCI All Country World Index, ex-U.S. does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity

market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI All Country World Index, ex-U.S. is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through May 30, 2013, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      26.72%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      27.79%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 3,076,523   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of foreign company equity securities.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s security selection in the technology-hardware, transport services and consumer cyclicals and energy sectors detracted from relative performance. Contributing to relative performance versus the Benchmark was security selection in the basic industries, property and insurance sectors.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in China Shenhua Energy Co., Ltd., First Quantum Minerals Ltd. and Nitto Denko Corp. Shares of China Shenhua Energy Co., Ltd., a coal mining and energy company, fell on the back of weak coal prices and moderating economic growth in the People’s Republic of China. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is a mining company. Its shares struggled as concerns about growth, particularly in China, weighed on commodity prices. Shares of Nitto Denko Corp., a Japanese chemical and materials company, underperformed as operating profits rose less than expected and management’s full year projections fell short of estimates.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. and overweight positions relative to the Benchmark in Electricite de France SA, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. European Aeronautic

Defence and Space Company N.V. is an aerospace company. Its shares rose on the back of strong orders for commercial aircraft. Shares of Electricite de France SA, a French power generator, rose during the reporting period, driven in part by the prospect that economic activity in the euro zone would improve. The company was also recently granted permission to raise tariffs, even as it continues to cut costs and pay down debt. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. is a Japanese banking and financial services company. Its shares moved sharply higher as economic prospects for Japan improved in the wake of the election of a new pro-growth government.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection, seeking to identify what they believed were the most attractive value investment opportunities within each sector. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for securities that they believed possessed an attractive valuation signal (as measured by a proprietary dividend discount model) and a timely catalyst that would enable the security to realize its inherent value.

In addition, the Fund employed futures and currency forwards to help manage cash flows and attempt to keep the Fund’s currency exposure in line with the U.S.-dollar denominated Benchmark.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities in developed markets outside the U.S.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) modestly outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s portfolio managers attempted to construct the Fund so that security selection and style factors (i.e., growth and value characteristics) would be the primary drivers of returns. Security selection in the industrials and health care sectors was a key contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark. Security selection and an overweight position versus the Benchmark in the consumer discretionary sector also contributed to results. Detracting from relative performance was security selection in the financials, information technology and energy sectors.

Individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s overweights in easyJet plc, ITV Plc and AXA S.A. Shares of European discount airline company easyJet plc benefited from stronger profits. The company increased its efforts to attract more passengers by offering preferred seating, flexible tickets and higher frequencies on key routes. Shares of ITV Plc, a British media company, rose on strong revenue. The company has been reducing its dependence on advertising by investing more in content creation. Shares of AXA S.A., a French insurance company, rallied as Europe’s economy stabilized and began to show signs of strength. The prospect of higher interest rates in the U.S. also helped to boost the stock.

Individual detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s positioning in Daimler Ag, Petroleo Brasiliero Sa Pfd and Nokia Oyj. The Fund was underweight shares in Daimler Ag, a German automobile manufacturer, which benefited from an improving European economy and expansion in China, now the world’s largest automobile market. Shares of out-of-Benchmark holding Petroleo Brasiliero Sa Pfd, a Brazilian energy company, struggled amid weak commodity prices and concerns about government intervention in the company’s operations. The Fund had no position in Benchmark holding Nokia Oyj, a Finnish telecommunications company, whose shares moved sharply higher after it agreed to sell its core cell phone operations to Microsoft.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s strategy is rooted in the notion that investor behavior is influenced by human emotion and this influence gives rise to persistent growth and value anomalies within the market. During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers sought to exploit these anomalies by utilizing a series of style screens designed to identify securities with attractive growth and/or value characteristics, targeting names that possessed high earnings momentum, strong price momentum, low price-to-book ratios and low price-to-earnings ratios.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

Returns for Class C and Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class C and Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class C and Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.

Returns for Select Class Shares prior to its inception date were based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Select Class Shares would have been lower than those shown because Select Class Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index from October 31, 2003 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The

performance of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index is based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Institutional Class Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in their portfolios by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

(a) Value is zero.

There were no transfers between any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Funds. As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The following are the values and percentages of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

C. Futures Contracts — The Global Equity Income Fund, Global Research Enhanced Index Fund, International Equity Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund use index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Funds also buy futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; theref re, the Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquid tion of positions.

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting agreements.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Global Equity Income Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore use forward foreign currency exchange cont acts to hedge or manage these exposures. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forw rd foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2013 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

G. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of approximately $40,000 and $39,000 incurred in connection with the offering of shares of Global Research Enhanced Index Fund and International Unconstrained Equity Fund, respectively, are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Funds commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Funds, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time the Funds commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2013, total offering costs paid were (amounts in thousands):

 

      Offering Costs  

Global Research Enhanced Index Fund

   $ 27   

International Unconstrained Equity Fund

     3   

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a fund first learns of the dividend.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

J. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to

future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. The Funds are subject to a tax imposed on short-term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability for these securities that have been held for less than one year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount, if any, is reported as Deferred India capital gains tax in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Short-term realized capital losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short-term realized capital gains.

India has recently enacted rules imposing a tax on indirect transfers of Indian shares, although additional guidance from the Indian tax authorities is awaited. At present, management does not believe that such tax will be applicable to the Funds. However, management’s conclusion, regarding this and other foreign tax matters, may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards and the tax laws and regulations.

L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income if any, are generally declared and paid annually, except for Global Equity Income Fund, which are declared and paid monthly and for International Equity Fund, which are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds.

The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011, are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPM II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trusts and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013. Average borrowings from the Facility for, or at any time during, the year ended October 31, 2013, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

        Average

       Number of Days
Outstanding
       Interest Paid

       22,709           8           1   

International Value Fund

       24,536           1           (a) 

 

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

One or more affiliates of the Adviser have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Fund’s assets for each of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Global Equity Income Fund, Global Research Enhanced Index Fund, International Equity Index Fund and International Value Fund.

In addition, the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own, in the aggregate more than 10% of the net assets of certain of the Funds as follows:

 

       

J.P. Morgan

Table of Contents

Global Equity Income Fund and International Value Fund have a shareholder, which is an account maintained by a financial intermediary on behalf of its clients, that owns a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, a significant portion of each Funds’ net assets consisted of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had the following country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments.

9. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ (excluding the Global Research Enhanced Index Fund, which was effective upon inception date) financial statement disclosures.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Global Equity Income Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund, JPMorgan International Value Fund and JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I), and JPMorgan International Equity Index Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust II) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, the financial position of JPMorgan International Unconstrained Equity Fund (a separate fund of JPMorgan Trust I) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period November 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2012, and the financial position of JPMorgan Global Research Enhanced Index Fund (a separate fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period February 28, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 20, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to certain J.P. Morgan Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trusts and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their

consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trusts and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement

organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints. The

Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer/Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer for the International Equity Fund and International Equity Index Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Emerging Economies Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Global Equity Income Fund, Global Research Enhanced Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund and Intrepid International Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the

“Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Economies Fund’s performance was in the third and first quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s performance was in the third, third and second quintiles for Class A shares and in the third, third and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted the performance of the Global Equity Income Fund was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ending December 31, 2012, and the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted the performance of the Global Research Enhanced Index Fund since its inception on February 28, 2013 as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Equity Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Equity Index Fund’s performance was in the second, fifth and fifth quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the equity committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the International Opportunities Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted the performance of the International Unconstrained Equity Fund since its inception on November 30, 2011 as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Value Fund’s performance was in the third, second and second quintiles for Class A and in the second, first and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five- year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid International Fund’s performance was in the second, third and fourth quintiles for Class A shares and in the second, second, and fourth quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five- year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the

independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Economies Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the third quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the second and third quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the third and fourth quintiles, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fourth quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Global Equity Income Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the second quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Global Research Enhanced Index Fund’s estimated net advisory fees and total expenses, which were considered on a class-by-class basis, were in line with

identified peer funds. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the second and third quintiles, respectively, and that actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the second and third quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury

yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September

2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      29.13%   
S&P 500 Index      27.18%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 1,106,022   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The goal of the JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is to provide high after-tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The U.S. equity market was resilient during the reporting period, with the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) finishing the reporting period with a 27.18% gain.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Stock selection in the energy, pharmaceutical/medical technology and utilities sectors contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the reporting period. Stock selection in the systems and network hardware, health services and systems and retail sectors detracted from relative performance.

Among individual stocks, the Fund’s overweight positions in Cheniere Energy, Inc. and Celgene Corp. contributed to performance relative to the Benchmark. Cheniere Energy, Inc., a liquefied natural gas-related company, benefited as natural

gas prices rose during the reporting period. Shares of Celgene Corp., an American biotechnology company that manufactures drug therapies for cancer and inflammatory disorders, rose as the company reported expanding profit margins for its product line. Also contributing to relative performance was the Fund’s underweight position in International Business Machines Corp. The company’s shares fell amid concerns over future revenue growth.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Walter Energy, Inc. and Yum! Brands, Inc., along with an underweight position in Hewlett-Packard Company. Walter Energy, Inc. is a producer and exporter of metallurgical coal. Its shares declined due to pricing pressure in the coal sector. Shares of restaurant operator Yum! Brands, Inc. declined on concerns that an investigation into poultry supply management in the company’s Chinese office would hurt earnings. The slowdown in China’s economy also negatively impacted the stock. The Fund’s underweight position in Hewlett-Packard Company, a provider of computer hardware and software products, also detracted from performance. Its shares rose sharply during the reporting period, as the company continued to restructure, cut costs and return cash to shareholders.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

Returns for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns of Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index from October 31, 2003 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the

Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Institutional Class Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

The Tax Aware strategy seeks to reduce capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will eliminate them.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares, with the exception of returns noted above as after taxes.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -2.11%

Maturities Index      -0.41%   
Composite Benchmark**      -3.17%

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund uses zero-coupon inflation-swaps (“inflation swaps”) in combination with tax-exempt municipal bonds to create a synthetic portfolio of inflation protected securities. The Fund is designed to protect the total return generated by its tax-exempt fixed income holdings from inflation risk. The inflation swaps used by the Fund are based on cumulative percentage movements in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The inflation swaps are structured so that one counterparty agrees to pay the cumulative percentage change in the CPI-U over the duration of the swap. The other counterparty (the Fund) pays a compounded fixed rate (zero coupon inflation-swap rate), which is based on the “breakeven inflation rate,” calculated as the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) of equal maturity.

The Fund’s portfolio managers aim to protect the portfolio from inflation risk across maturities. Therefore, the yield curve positioning of the underlying bonds is used as the general basis for the Fund’s inflation swap positioning. The yield curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds at a given point in time. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that matching the duration (a measure of the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates) of the inflation protection to the duration of the underlying bonds is the most effective and efficient way to protect the portfolio from both actual realized inflation as well as the loss of value that results from an increase in inflation expectations. However, the inflation protection is actively managed, and the Fund’s portfolio managers may elect to deviate from the curve positioning of the underlying bonds as a result of opportunities that result from macroeconomic or technical factors.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The U.S. economy continued to grow during the reporting period, but the pace of the expansion was far from robust. While there were indications of a policy shift from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), it remained highly accommodative throughout the reporting period. The Fed surprised the market by delaying the tapering of its asset purchase program at its meeting in September 2013. Turning to the municipal bond

market, there were periods of volatility given talk of Fed tapering, rising Treasury yields and weak demand during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, investor sentiment was negatively impacted by Detroit’s bankruptcy filing and other high profile credit events. Among municipal bond securities, higher quality issuances outperformed their lower quality counterparts. The Barclays Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1-17 Year) Maturities Index (the “Municipal Securities Benchmark”) returned -0.41% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Inflation, as measured by the CPI-U, was muted and declined during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Inflation swaps with 2-, 5-, 10-, 20- and 30-year maturities all declined during the reporting period.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) posted a negative absolute return and underperformed the Municipal Securities Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s underperformance was driven by the Fund’s use of inflation swaps, which generated a negative total return. In contrast, the Fund’s preference for higher quality issuances was beneficial for its relative performance. However, the Fund’s inflation swaps contributed to relative performance versus the Composite Benchmark, as a result of the Fund’s underweight to inflation protection relative to the swap component of the Composite Benchmark. Additionally, the Fund’s yield curve positioning added to relative performance versus the Composite Benchmark as longer dated inflation swaps, of which the Fund was underweight overall, underperformed. On the downside, the Fund did hold certain longer dated inflation swaps, which were a drag on performance. In addition, the Fund’s overweight to longer duration water/sewer and special tax municipal securities detracted from performance relative to the Composite Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Among the Fund’s tax-exempt fixed income investments, the Fund employed a bottom-up, security selection-based investment approach and sought to take advantage of opportunities stemming from increased volatility, supply pressures and headline credit risk. The Fund maintained its quality bias, as the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred higher-quality issuances. The Fund’s portfolio managers also maintained an inflation-overlay hedging strategy, using zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps to purchase protection against inflation along the yield curve.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (8/31/05 TO 10/31/13)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on August 31, 2005.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception date were based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Institutional Class Shares have different expenses than Class R6 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund, the Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index, the Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index from August 31, 2005 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index and the Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund.

The Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index represents the performance of municipal bonds with maturities from 1 to 17 years. The Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark is determined by adding the Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Inflation Swap 5 Year Zero Coupon Index. The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a minimum investment of $1,000,000. For some investors, income from municipal bonds may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Capital gains, if any, are federally taxable. Income may be subject to state and local taxes.

The Tax Aware strategy seeks to reduce capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will eliminate them.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares, with the exception of returns noted above as after taxes.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Tax Aware Equity Fund    Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
Tax Aware Real Return Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

 

 

* Class R6 Shares of the Tax Aware Real Return Fund commenced operations on August 16, 2013.

The investment objective of Tax Aware Equity Fund is to seek to provide high after-tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

The investment objective of Tax Aware Real Return Fund is to seek to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, various forms of credit enhancements, such as bond insurance, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment.

 

 
42       J.P. MORGAN TAX AWARE FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

(b) All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually on the SOI. Level 1 consists of a money market mutual fund that is held for daily investments of cash. Please refer to the SOI for state specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Swaps — The Tax Aware Real Return Fund uses inflation-linked swaps to provide inflation protection within its portfolio. These transactions are negotiated contracts between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows at specified, future intervals.

The use of swaps exposes the Fund to interest rate risk. The Fund also may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying rate; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to the swap, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

The value of a swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

Collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.F.) and is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Investments in affiliates — restricted. Collateral received by the Fund is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, which provides collateral management services to the Fund (See Note 3.G.). These amounts are not reflected on the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are disclosed in the table below.

Table of Contents

D. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

E. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

F. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Distributions to Shareholders — Tax Aware Equity Fund generally declares and pays distributions from net investment income quarterly. Tax Aware Real Return Fund generally declares and pays distributions from net investment income monthly. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital        Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions
in excess of)
net  investment
income
       Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses)
 

Tax Aware Equity Fund

     $         $ (46      $ 46   

Tax Aware Real Return Fund

                             

The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to non-taxable dividends.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Tax Aware Equity Fund

     0.35

Tax Aware Real Return Fund

     0.35   

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

JPMCB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Institutional Class        Select Class  

Tax Aware Equity Fund

       0.25        0.25        0.10        0.25

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by each Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R6        Institutional Class        Select Class  

Tax Aware Equity Fund

       1.05        1.55        n/a            0.55        0.80

Tax Aware Real Return Fund

       0.75           1.40           0.40        0.50           0.65   

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the year ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

H. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. Each Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of distribution payable and wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011, are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of October 31, 2013, the following Fund had post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards (amounts in thousands):

Tax Aware Equity Fund

   $ 77,308   

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

One or more affiliates of the Adviser have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Funds’ assets. Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

Tax Aware Real Return Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of municipal debt obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. An issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state or region. These debt obligations may be insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of issuer default. The value of these investments may be impacted by changes to bond insurers’ ratings and the Fund’s ability to collect principal and interest, in the event of an issuer’s default, may be limited if the private insurer does not have the wherewithal to satisfy its obligation.

Tax Aware Real Return Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparty (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements gives the Fund and counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals

in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the

current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Funds in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to

each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for Class A shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012 and in the first, second and second quintiles for Institutional Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s performance was in the fourth, fifth and fifth quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The Trustees noted further that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund met its risk objectives, but had underperformed its return objectives. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance and noted the difficulty in assigning the Fund a representative peer group given the Fund’s investment strategy. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the fixed income committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the

information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the first and second quintiles, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the fourth quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the third and fifth quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was e reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury

yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well-diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. Stock returns varied across countries and regions but were generally positive for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Greater China

Over the reporting period, Taiwan led the region, especially during the second calendar quarter of 2013, when both Hong Kong and Chinese equities declined amid the possibility of the U.S. Federal Reserve tapering its quantitative easing program and a credit crunch in China. Overall, Hong Kong also fared better than China, especially helped by Macau gaming stocks. Chinese equities underperformed Hong Kong and Taiwan amid continued fears of incremental policy tightening in China, weak economic data until mid-2013 and a credit crunch in the interbank funding markets at the start of the summer. However, Chinese equities began to rally toward the end of the reporting period as economic data improved and the government announced the foundation of much-needed reforms in the years to come. In the end, stocks in the greater China region, as measured by the MSCI Golden Dragon Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), gained 12.89% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

India

It was an exceptionally volatile environment for Indian equities during the reporting period. Worries over a withdrawal of U.S. quantitative easing negatively impacted the rupee, while economic growth in India faltered amid rising inflation and higher interest rates. Furthermore, a lack of government initiatives negatively affected investment and capital spending in the Indian economy. In summary, the global macro environment and domestic troubles weighed heavily on the markets, with the MSCI India Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returning 0.65% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Europe

European stocks were positively impacted during the reporting period by generally strong investor demand. Also supporting the European equity market were continued policy accommodation by the European Central Bank and signs that the region had emerged from its lengthy recession. In the end, the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) gained 27.70% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Latin America

Latin American stocks underperformed their emerging market counterparts during the reporting period, as Brazil and the Andean countries were plagued by macroeconomic concerns and falling commodity prices. However, more attractive valuations in Brazil and meaningful reforms in Mexico were positive signals for Latin American equities. The MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned -2.66% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Asia Pacific Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Security selection in Hong Kong and Australia was the primary contributor to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in Singapore detracted from relative performance.

The largest individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance versus the Benchmark included its overweight positions in Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd. and Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. The Fund also benefited from not owning shares of Newcrest Mining Limited. Hong Kong-based Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd., which owns and operates hotels and casinos in Macau, reported a sharp increase in profits as visitors increased spending at its two main casinos. Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd., a Chinese automobile manufacturer, reported a sharp increase in sales during the reporting period. Shares of Newcrest Mining Limited, Australia’s leading gold mining company, fell as gold prices dropped during much of the reporting period.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s positioning in Tencent Holdings Ltd., Maruti Suzuki India Limited and NAVER Corp. Tencent Holdings Ltd., a Chinese online social media company, reported strong operating results during the reporting period. Therefore, the Fund’s underweight position relative to the Benchmark detracted from its relative performance. The Fund was overweight Maruti Suzuki India Limited, India’s biggest automobile manufacturer. This overweight detracted as the company’s shares were negatively impacted by falling sales. Shares of NAVER Corp. a South Korean internet content company, rose based on the company’s strong operating results during the period. As such, the Fund’s underweight position relative to the Benchmark detracted from its relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund employed bottom-up stock selection based on a systematic approach of finding what the Fund’s portfolio managers believed were securities that

had attractive momentum characteristics, as well as securities that they believed were attractively valued and fundamentally strong. In country terms, the Fund’s largest overweights versus the Benchmark were in the Philippines and Hong Kong. The Fund largest underweights versus the Benchmark were in Singapore and Australia.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Asia Pacific Fund, the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index and the Lipper Pacific ex Japan Funds Index from November 30, 2011 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Pacific ex Japan Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees.

These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI All Country Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance in the Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan. The Lipper Pacific ex Japan Funds Index represents the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan China Region Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI Golden Dragon Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s outperformance was driven mainly by security selection in Taiwan and China.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Tencent Holdings Ltd., Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd. and Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. Tencent Holdings Ltd., a Chinese online social media company, reported strong operating results during the reporting period. Hong Kong-based Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd., which owns and operates hotels and casinos in Macau, reported a sharp increase in profits as visitors increased spending at its two main casinos. Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd., a Chinese automobile manufacturer, reported a sharp increase in sales during the reporting period.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Orient Overseas (International) Limited and New World Development Co., Ltd. and an underweight position in Cathay Financial Holding Co., Ltd. Shares of Orient Overseas (International) Limited, a Hong Kong-based transportation, logistics and real estate development company, declined as China’s economic growth slowed. A costly strike by dock workers in Hong Kong also detracted from the company’s results. Shares of New World Development Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong-based property and infrastructure company, declined as real estate prices in Hong Kong leveled off. Cathay Financial Holding Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-based provider of financial services, reported strong operating earnings across most of its business lines during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection, rigorously researching

companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of this process, the Fund finished the reporting period with an overweight versus the Benchmark in China, focusing on companies that the Fund’s portfolio managers believed were positioned to benefit from industry consolidation, expanding consumption and urbanization. The Fund also had an overweight in environmental/renewable energy companies. In contrast, the Fund was underweight versus the Benchmark in Taiwanese exposure.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan India Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) underperformed the MSCI India Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s underperformance was driven mainly by security selection in the materials and consumer staples sectors. This negative was partially offset by positive security selection in the financials and health care sectors.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in IDFC Ltd. and ACC Limited. Shares in IDFC Ltd., a leading financier of infrastructure projects, fell sharply as India’s economic growth moderated. For the same reason, shares of ACC Limited, one of the largest producers of cement in India, declined during the reporting period. Also detracting from relative performance was Benchmark holding United Spirits Limited, India’s largest spirits company. Shares of the company rallied sharply following the sale of a substantial stake of the company to Diageo plc., the world’s largest distiller. The Fund not having a position in the stock negatively impacted its relative performance.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions versus the Benchmark in two weak performing banks: Axis Bank Limited and State Bank of India. Shares of both companies fell as slower growth in India resulted in decreased lending activity and depressing margins. An overweight position in Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services, Ltd., a company which focuses on the financing of utility vehicles and tractors, also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as shares of the company moved sharply higher during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection, rigorously researching

companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. They preferred to invest in what they believed were well-managed, leading high quality companies with strong and visible earnings profiles.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid European Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark was driven by strong security selection, particularly in the capital goods, consumer durables and apparel, and banks sectors. Detractors from relative performance included security selection in the automobile and components, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life sciences, and insurance sectors.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in easyJet plc and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. (“EADS”). The Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in Ashtead Group plc. was also a contributor to relative performance. Shares of European discount airline company easyJet plc benefited from stronger profits. The company increased its efforts to attract more passengers by offering preferred seating, flexible tickets and higher frequencies on key routes. Shares of EADS, an aerospace company, rose on the back of strong orders for commercial aircraft. Ashtead Group plc, a British equipment rental company, saw strong earnings momentum as businesses shifted to renting equipment rather than buying in an uncertain economic environment.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Ferrexpo Plc and Debenhams Plc, as well as an underweight position in Roche Holding Ltd. Shares of Ferrexpo Plc, which produces iron ore pellets, declined as commodity prices fell. Shares of Debenhams Plc, a British clothing and accessories company, fell on disappointing company-specific news. The Fund was underweight relative to the Benchmark in Roche Holding Ltd., a Swiss health care company. This positioning detracted from performance as the company’s shares rose due to solid gains in revenue and earnings.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that attractively valued, high quality stocks with positive momentum outperform the market. During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers invested in securities that they believed displayed these style characteristics. Portfolio positions flowed from bottom-up security selection rather than top-down asset allocation decisions.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Latin America Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the MSCI EM Latin America Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s security selection and underweight versus the Benchmark in the energy sector and security selection and overweight versus the Benchmark in the industrials sector were the main contributors to relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary sector and overweight versus the Benchmark in the health care sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweights versus the Benchmark in Copa Holdings S.A., a Panama-based airline, and Compartamos S.A.B., a Mexican bank focusing on microfinance. Shares of Copa Holdings S.A. benefited from positive trends in air passenger travel. Compartamos S.A.B.‘s shares performed well during the reporting period, as the company’s reported loan portfolio expanded significantly, while the percentage of its non-performing loans did not materially change. The Fund’s underweight position versus the Benchmark in Petrobras (Petroleo Brasileiro), a Brazilian energy company, also contributed to relative performance as the company’s shares were hurt by declining commodity prices.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position versus the Benchmark in Multiplus S.A., along with underweight positions versus the Benchmark in Grupo Televisa and Banco do Brasil. Brazil-based Multiplus S.A. engages in the operation of customer loyalty programs. The stock declined after the company reported disappointing quarterly net income. Grupo Televisa is a Mexican multimedia company, with distribution throughout Latin America. Its shares performed strongly during the reporting period as pay-TV user growth boosted profits. Banco do Brasil is the largest bank in Latin America, based on assets size. The company benefited from an increased market share in investment banking over the last year. More robust underwriting activity also helped to propel the stock over the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the

highest-conviction ideas found at the security level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings, rigorously researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future growth. As a result of this process, at the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweight versus the Benchmark was in the industrials sector and the Fund’s largest underweight versus the Benchmark was in the materials sector.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Latin America Fund, the MSCI EM Latin America Index and the Lipper Latin American Funds Average from February 28, 2007 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EM Latin America Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Latin American Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI EM Latin America Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity

market performance of emerging markets in Latin America. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Latin American Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% sales charge.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year
(b) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(c) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset values for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions.
(d) Includes interest expense, if applicable, which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(e) Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the periods ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.
(f) Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less.
(g) Commencement of operations.
(h) An affiliate of JPMorgan made a payment to the Fund for losses incurred from an operational error. Without this payment, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments per share would have been $1.08, $1.08 and $1.08 for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the total return would have been 8.07%, 7.53% and 8.27% for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 5 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Asia Pacific Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
China Region Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
India Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Intrepid European Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
Latin America Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified

Prior to July 2, 2012, the Asia Pacific Fund was not publicly offered for investment.

The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:

The Asia Pacific Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

The China Region Fund, India Fund and Latin America Fund will seek long-term capital growth.

The Intrepid European Fund seeks total return from long-term capital growth. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

The Asia Pacific Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2011.

Effective November 1, 2009, Class B Shares of Intrepid European Fund may not be purchased or acquired by new or existing shareholders, except through exchanges from Class B Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund and dividend reinvestments. Shareholders who have invested in Class B Shares prior to November 1, 2009 may continue to hold their Class B Shares until they convert automatically to Class A Shares.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B and Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. No sales charges are assessed with respect to Institutional Class and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment.

 

 
50       J.P. MORGAN COUNTRY/REGION FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in their portfolios by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input by fund as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Funds. As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

As of October 31, 2013, the Funds did not invest in any illiquid securities.

C. Futures Contracts — The Intrepid European Fund uses index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Intrepid European Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The use of futures contracts exposes the Intrepid European Fund to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Intrepid European Fund’s futures contracts activity during the year ended October 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

D. Structured Instruments — The Asia Pacific Fund invests in structured instruments that have similar economic characteristics to equity securities. These instruments often seek to replicate the performance of an underlying reference asset such as an equity security or market (“reference asset”). The value of these instruments is generally derived from the price movements of the reference asset. On maturity date of each instrument, the Fund will receive a payment from the instrument’s issuing entity based on the value of the reference asset and record a realized gain or loss. The instrument may receive dividends paid in connection with the reference asset which are reported as net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations.

 

 
52       J.P. MORGAN COUNTRY/REGION FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

Structured instruments are notes that may be issued by banks, broker dealers or their affiliates and typically constitute unsecured contractual obligations of the issuing entity. In addition to credit risk, investments in structured instruments generally have the same risks associated with a direct investment in the reference asset. However, there can be no assurance that structured instruments will trade at the same price or have the same value as the reference asset. In addition, structured instruments may be subject to transfer restrictions and a liquid market may not exist for these instruments. The lack of a liquid market may make it difficult to sell the structured instruments or accurately value them. Investments in structured instruments subject the Fund to counterparty risk.

E. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

F. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of approximately $27,000 paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Asia Pacific Fund were amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time the Fund commenced operations. For the year ended October 31, 2013, total offering costs paid were (amounts in thousands):

 

      Offering Costs  

Asia Pacific Fund

   $ 2   

G. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

I. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

J. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. The Funds are subject to a tax imposed on short-term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability for these securities that have been held for less than one year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount, if any, is reported as Deferred India capital gains tax in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Short-term realized capital losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short-term realized capital gains.

India has recently enacted rules imposing a tax on indirect transfers of Indian shares, although additional guidance from the Indian tax authorities is awaited. At present, management does not believe that such tax will be applicable to the Funds. However, management’s conclusions, regarding this and other foreign tax matters, may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards and the tax laws and regulations.

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

K. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations.

Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Intrepid European Fund incurred brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser of approximately $1,000.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

One or more affiliates of the Adviser have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Fund’s assets for each of the China Region Fund, India Fund, Intrepid European Fund and Latin America Fund.

In addition, the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own in the aggregate, more than 10% of the net assets of certain of the Funds as follows:

 

      J.P. Morgan
Investor Funds
 

Latin America Fund

     53.2

 

 
58       J.P. MORGAN COUNTRY/REGION FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

Additionally, the Adviser owns a significant portion of the outstanding shares of the Asia Pacific Fund.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, substantially all of the Funds’ net assets consisted of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

The Asia Pacific Fund invests in securities of foreign companies located throughout the Asia Pacific Region. The China Region Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies in the China Region. In general, China Region companies are those that are organized under the laws of, or have a principal office in, the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau) (“China”), or Taiwan; or the principal securities market for which is China or Taiwan. The India Fund invests primarily in equity securities of Indian companies. The Latin America Fund invests primarily in equity securities of Latin America issuers or other investments economically tied to Latin America.

A company of a specific country or region is one that is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in that country or region; the principal securities market for which is that country or region; that derives at least 50% of its total revenues or profits from goods that are produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in that country or region; or at least 50% of the assets of which are located in that country or region.

Because these Funds may invest a significant portion of their assets in these markets, they are subject to greater risks of adverse events that occur in those markets and may experience greater volatility than a Fund that is more broadly diversified geographically.

As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had the following country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

9. Subsequent Event

At their meeting in November 2013, the Board of Trustees of the India Fund approved the liquidation of the Fund which will occur on or about January 10, 2014. As of November 25, 2013, the Fund no longer accepts subscription orders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Asia Pacific Fund, JPMorgan China Region Fund, JPMorgan India Fund, JPMorgan Intrepid European Fund and JPMorgan Latin America Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan China Region Fund, JPMorgan India Fund, JPMorgan Intrepid European Fund, and JPMorgan Latin America Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the financial position of JPMorgan Asia Pacific Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period November 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds and sub-advisory agreements for the Asia Pacific Fund, China Region Fund and India Fund, whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory and sub-advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum

from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser and sub-advisor, as applicable, from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreements was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contracts was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and sub-advisor’s, as applicable, risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s and sub-advisor’s, as applicable, compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser and sub-advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered

 

 

 
66       J.P. MORGAN COUNTRY/REGION FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and, as applicable, the sub-adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and sub-advisor, as applicable, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser and sub-advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

(“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedules for each Fund do not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Funds in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Asia Pacific Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable. The Trustees also noted that effective June 28, 2012, the Fund changed its name, portfolio management team, investment strategies and lowered its expense caps and investment advisory and sub-advisory fees.

The Trustees noted that the China Region Fund’s performance was in the first, second and third quintiles for Class A shares, and in the first, second and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the India Fund’s performance was in the fifth, second and second quintiles for Class A shares, and in the fourth, first and first quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid European Fund’s performance was in the first, second and third quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Latin America Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for Class A for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012 and in the second, first and first quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund, including, as appropriate, information about the sub-advisory fees. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Asia Pacific Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the second and third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the China Region Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the third quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the India Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and fourth quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September

2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of foreign company equity securities.

The Fund was established to implement the International Value separately managed account strategy, and to hold common shares of companies that were deemed attractive but were not accessible as American Depository Receipts (ADRs).

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) returned 27.79% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund underperformed the Benchmark for the reporting period. Detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s security selection in the technology-hardware and energy sectors and an underweight position in the banks and finance sector. Contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s security selection in the basic industries and property sectors and an overweight position in the automotives sector.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in China Shenhua Energy Co., Ltd., First Quantum Minerals Ltd. and

Nitto Denko Corp. Shares of China Shenhua Energy Co., Ltd., a coal mining and energy company, fell on the back of weak coal prices and moderating economic growth in the People’s Republic of China. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is a mining company. Its shares struggled as concerns about growth, particularly in China, weighed on commodity prices. Shares of Nitto Denko Corp., a Japanese chemical and materials company, underperformed as operating profits rose less than expected and management’s full year projections fell short of estimates.

Individual contributors to relative performance included out-of-Benchmark positions in European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. and Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., as well as an overweight position in Renault S.A. Shares of European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. rose on the back of strong orders for commercial aircraft. Shares of Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. were supported by a recovery in the Japanese property market and by policymakers’ efforts to stimulate the Japanese economy. French automaker Renault S.A.‘s shares rose sharply as the European economy showed early signs of recovery. The company, which controls Nissan, has also made inroads into the fast-growing Chinese market.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, seeking to identify what they believed were the most attractive value investment opportunities within each sector. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for securities that they believed possessed an attractive valuation signal (as measured by a proprietary dividend discount model) and a timely catalyst that would enable the security to realize its inherent value.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund, the MSCI EAFE Value Index and the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Funds Index from August 17, 2007 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Funds Index reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are

not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI EAFE Value Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of value-oriented stocks in developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund was established to implement the Tax Aware Real Return separately managed account strategy. The Fund uses zero-coupon inflation-swaps (“inflation swaps”) in combination with tax-exempt municipal bonds to create a synthetic portfolio of inflation protected securities. The Fund is designed to protect the total return generated by its tax-exempt fixed income holdings from inflation risk. The inflation swaps used by the Fund are based on cumulative percentage movements in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The inflation swaps are structured so that one counterparty agrees to pay the cumulative percentage change in the CPI-U over the duration of the swap. The other counterparty (the Fund) pays a compounded fixed rate (zero coupon inflation-swap rate), which is based on the “breakeven inflation rate,” calculated as the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) of equal maturity.

The Fund’s portfolio managers aim to protect the portfolio from inflation risk across maturities. Therefore, the yield curve positioning of the underlying bonds is used as the general basis for the Fund’s inflation swap positioning. The yield curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds at a given point in time. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that matching the duration (a measure of the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates) of the inflation protection to the duration of the underlying bonds is the most effective and efficient way to protect the portfolio from both actual realized inflation as well as the loss of value that results from an increase in inflation expectations. However, the inflation protection is actively managed, and the Fund’s portfolio managers may elect to deviate from the curve positioning of the underlying bonds as a result of opportunities that result from macroeconomic or technical factors.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The U.S. economy continued to grow during the reporting period, but the pace of the expansion was far from robust. While there were indications of a policy shift from the U.S. Federal

Reserve (the “Fed”), it remained highly accommodative throughout the reporting period. The Fed surprised the market by delaying the tapering of its asset purchase program at its meeting in September 2013. Turning to the municipal bond market, there were periods of volatility given talk of Fed tapering, rising Treasury yields and weak demand during the second half of the reporting period. In addition investor sentiment was negatively impacted by Detroit’s bankruptcy filing and other high profile credit events. Among municipal bond securities, higher quality issuances outperformed their lower quality counterparts. The Barclays Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1-17 Year) Maturities Index (the “Municipal Securities Benchmark”) returned -0.41% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Inflation, as measured by the CPI-U, was muted and declined during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Inflation swaps with 2-, 5-, 10-, 20- and 30-year maturities all declined during the reporting period.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) posted a negative absolute return and underperformed the Municipal Securities Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s underperformance was driven by the Fund’s use of inflation swaps, which generated a negative total return. In contrast, the Fund’s preference for higher quality issuances was beneficial for its relative performance. However, the Fund’s inflation swaps contributed to relative performance versus the Composite Benchmark, as a result of the Fund’s underweight to inflation protection relative to the swap component of the Composite Benchmark. Additionally, the Fund’s yield curve positioning added to relative performance versus the Composite Benchmark as longer dated inflation swaps, of which the Fund was underweight overall, underperformed. On the downside, the Fund did hold certain longer dated inflation swaps, which were a drag on performance. In addition, the Fund’s overweight to longer duration water/sewer and special tax municipal securities detracted from performance relative to the Composite Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Among the Fund’s tax-exempt fixed income investments, the Fund employed a bottom-up, security selection-based investment approach and sought to take advantage of opportunities

stemming from increased volatility, supply pressures and headline credit risk. The Fund maintained its quality bias, as the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred higher-quality issuances. The Fund’s portfolio managers also maintained an inflation-overlay hedging strategy, using zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps to purchase protection against inflation along the yield curve.

The Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund, the Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index, the Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index from May 31, 2007 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index and the Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index represents the performance of municipal

bonds with maturities from 1 to 17 years. The Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark is determined by adding the Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Inflation Swap 5 Year Zero Coupon Index. The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

For some investors, income from municipal bonds may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Capital gains, if any, are federally taxable. Income may be subject to state and local taxes.

The Tax Aware strategy seeks to reduce capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will eliminate them.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares, with the exception of returns noted above as after taxes.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

                  Diversified/Non-Diversified
International Value SMA Fund          Diversified (effective 2/29/12)
Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund          Diversified

The investment objective of International Value SMA Fund is to seek to provide high total return from a portfolio of foreign company equity securities.

The investment objective of Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund is to seek to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

Shares of the Funds may be purchased only by or on behalf of separately managed accounts where J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. serves as the investment adviser or sub-adviser to the account with the separately managed account sponsor or directly with the client. The Funds’ shares may not be purchased directly by individuals.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, various forms of credit enhancements, such as bond insurance, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also

Table of Contents

take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in their portfolios by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input by country as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands) :

(b) All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually on the SOIs. Level 1 consists of a money market mutual fund that is held for daily investments of cash. Please refer to the SOI for state specifics of portfolio holdings.
  * Level 3 securities are valued by brokers and pricing services. At October 31, 2013, the value of these securities was approximately $40,000. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2.A. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, results of broker and vendor due diligence, unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by International Value SMA Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund. As of October 31, 2013, International Value SMA Fund had no investments in restricted securities.

The value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities held by International Value SMA Fund as of October 31, 2013 were approximately $40,000 and 0.01% respectively.

C. Futures Contracts — International Value SMA Fund uses index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

D. Swaps — Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund engages in inflation-linked swaps to provide inflation protection within its portfolio. Swap transactions are negotiated contracts (“over the counter “OTC” swaps”) between a fund and a counterparty or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearinghouse through a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”), to exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.

Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund are recognized as a realized gain or loss when the contract matures or is terminated. The value of an OTC swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit with the FCM cash or securities, which is referred to as initial margin deposit. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a variation margin receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding OTC swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Investments in affiliates — restricted. Collateral received by the Fund is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, which provides collateral management services to the Fund (See Note 3.F.). These amounts are not reflected on the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are disclosed in the table below.

The Fund’s swap contracts at net value and collateral posted or received by counterparty as of October 31, 2013 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Fund            Counterparty        Value of
swap
contracts
       Collateral
amount
 

Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund

   Collateral Posted        BNP Paribas         $ (432      $ 530   

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

The central clearing house acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction, therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearinghouse.

The use of swaps exposes the Fund to interest rate risk. The Fund also may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying rate; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to the swap, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms.

Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparty (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements gives the Fund and counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund.

Table of Contents

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the International Value SMA Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

G. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds.

I. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

J. Foreign Taxes — International Value SMA Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

K. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid annually for International Value SMA Fund and monthly for Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1000.

The reclassifications for International Value SMA Fund relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser does not charge an advisory fee to the Funds. It should be understood, however, that the Funds are an integral part of separately managed account programs. Participants in these programs pay a fee to the sponsor of the program. The Adviser is compensated directly or indirectly by the separately managed account sponsors.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Funds’ shares. The Distributor receives no compensation in its capacity as the Funds’ underwriter.

D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations. International Value SMA Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statements of Operations. For Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund, payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned, if any, by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

E. Waivers and Reimbursements — No expenses or fees (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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) are borne by the Funds pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Adviser through February 28, 2014.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

F. Collateral Management Fees — JPMCB provides derivatives collateral management services for Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for these services are included in Collateral Management fees on the Statements of Operations.

G. Other — The Funds may invest in affiliated J.P. Morgan money market funds. The Funds’ Adviser and its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the J.P. Morgan money market funds; therefore, the Adviser and its affiliates may indirectly receive fees, including advisory fees, from the Funds.

Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. Each Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

For the Funds, the cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of PFICs, distribution payable and wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of October 31, 2013, International Value SMA Fund had post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards (amounts in thousands):

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

International Value SMA Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws, or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, substantially all of the International Value SMA Fund’s net assets consisted of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund listed below had the following country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments.

 

        France        Germany        Japan  

International Value SMA Fund

       15.9        11.4        26.3

International Value SMA Fund has several shareholders, which are accounts maintained by separately managed account sponsors on behalf of their clients, that own significant portions of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund has a shareholder, which is an account maintained by a separately managed account sponsor on behalf of its clients, that owns all of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

 

 
32       J.P. MORGAN SMA FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of municipal debt obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. An issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state or region. These debt obligations may be insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of issuer default. The value of these investments may be impacted by changes to bond insurers’ ratings and the Fund’s ability to collect principal and interest, in the event of an issuer’s default, may be limited if the private insurer does not have the wherewithal to satisfy its obligation.

8. New Accounting pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including administration fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Fund at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

The Funds are an integral part of “separately managed accounts” programs sponsored by investment advisers and/or broker-dealers unaffiliated with the Funds and the Investment Adviser. Participants in these programs pay a fee to the sponsor of the program.

 

* Expenses are equal to each Fund’s respective annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the overall arrangement between the Funds and the Adviser, as provided in each Advisory Agreement, was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees noted that there was no advisory fee charged to the Funds. The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM did not earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative services due to contractual waivers it has in place. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. In addition, the Trustees considered that the Adviser receives fees from sponsors of separately managed accounts that are invested in the Funds. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that there was not an investment advisory fee charged to the Funds. The Trustees also noted that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM includes a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint in the absence of the current waivers in place for the Funds. The Trustees also recognized the Adviser has fee waivers and expense limitations in place that serve to limit the Funds’ overall net expense ratios at

competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the Advisory Agreement or management fees including administrative fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees further noted that the overall fee structure of the Funds as compared to the Adviser’s other clients was reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Funds in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one- and three-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the International Value SMA Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund’s performance was in the third, fourth and third quintiles for the

 

 

 
40       J.P. MORGAN SMA FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the fixed income committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Funds are not charged a separate investment advisory fee by the Adviser because the Funds are used only by managed-account strategies advised by the Adviser. The Trustees considered each Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee (which is 0.00%) and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for

each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the expenses of each Fund after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of expense ratios because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s expense ratios are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the International Value SMA Fund’s contractual advisory fee was 0.00% and that the actual total expenses were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund’s contractual advisory fee was 0.00% and that the actual total expenses were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury

yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      (15.90)%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      25.77%   
Euromoney Mining, Gold and Energy Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (Formerly called the HSCB Gold, Mining and Energy Index)      (17.30)%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 37,429   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Global Natural Resources Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

In most parts of the world, central banks continued their efforts to stimulate economic growth with accommodative policies. In Europe, the European Central Bank committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. The U.S. Federal Reserve also remained committed to accommodative policies and U.S. equities received an additional boost from continued signs of a recovery in the housing market. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012. Japanese equities performed strongly as investors reacted positively to the new government’s policies. Although international developed equities posted robust gains for the reporting period, resource equities, in general, performed poorly, in part, on concerns that slower growth, particularly in China, would put pressure on commodity prices. The Euromoney Mining, Gold and Energy Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) significantly underperformed the broader equity market during the reporting period. Given the performance of resource equities relative to the broader market, the Fund underperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) during the reporting period. The Fund, however, outperformed the Euromoney Mining, Gold and Energy Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund’s investments in gold and precious metals were the most significant detractors from performance. Gold prices fell sharply during the reporting period which, combined with the production shortfalls and cost overruns that plagued many gold producers, contributed to a decline in gold mining stocks. Within the gold and precious metals sector, individual positions in Goldcorp, Inc. and Yamana Gold, Inc. were among the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance.

Several of the Fund’s energy holdings performed strongly during the reporting period. Shares of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. rose as the oil exploration and production company continued to expand production in Texas and Colorado. The company, along with its partners, also continues to explore offshore basins. Shares of Tethys Petroleum Limited, an oil and gas exploration and production company, moved higher during the reporting period. The company and its partners have indicated that they are looking to develop an area in Tajikistan that some believe could hold more oil and gas than the North Sea. Tethys Petroleum Limited also owns other oil and gas projects in Central Asia.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers invested in the equity securities of natural resource companies operating primarily in the gold and precious metals, energy and base metals sub-sectors. They used bottom-up fundamental research in an attempt to identify what they believed were attractively priced stocks of companies that appeared positioned to grow their long-term earnings by increasing production and reserves. The Fund was invested across various sub-sectors within natural resources as well as across regions and market capitalizations.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2010.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception date were based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Class R6 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Global Natural Resources Fund, the MSCI World Index, the Euromoney Mining Gold and Energy Index (formerly HSBC Gold, Mining and Energy Index) and the Lipper Global Natural Resources Funds Index from November 30, 2010 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI World Index and the Euromoney Mining Gold and Energy Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. For the MSCI World Index, the dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Global Natural Resources Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The

Euromoney Mining Gold and Energy Index is comprised of three natural resources sector components which are each equally weighted to reflect 1/3 of the index: 1) the Mining component, consisting of the Euromoney Global Mining Index, excluding Gold, Coal and Uranium, 2) the Gold component, consisting of all gold producers found in the Euromoney Mining Gold and Energy Index, and 3) the Energy component, comprised of the Energy sector within the Euromoney Global Equities Index plus any Coal or Uranium companies in the Global Mining Index. The three components are rebalanced quarterly at the end of each March, June, September and December and the index is net of withholding taxes. The Lipper Global Natural Resources Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 304,270   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Realty Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Central banks in most developed market economies continued their efforts to stimulate growth with accommodative policies. The European Central Bank committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012. The MSCI EAFE Index and the Real Estate Securities Benchmark returned 26.88% and 14.36%, respectively, for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class R5 shares, without a sales charge) underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the Real Estate Securities Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs), while the MSCI EAFE Index is a broad-based market index that represents 22 developed markets outside of the U.S. and Canada. The Fund’s relative underperformance versus the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) was driven by its positioning in REITs which, in general, lagged the broader developed equity market.

Relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark, stock selection in Japan and China detracted from performance for the reporting period. This detractor was partially offset by positive stock selection in Singapore and the UK. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s holdings in the diversified sector were

the principal detractors from relative performance, while stock selection in the retail sector was beneficial to results.

In terms of individual companies, not owning Sumitomo Realty & Development Co. detracted from relative performance, as did the Fund’s overweight positions, relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark, in New World Development Co., Ltd. and Capitaland Limited. Shares of Sumitomo Realty & Development Co., a Japan-based developer, rose sharply against a backdrop of greater home demand. As such, not having a position in the company detracted from performance relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark. Shares of New World Development Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong-based developer, performed poorly as Hong Kong’s real estate market leveled off. Shares of Singapore-based Capitaland Limited declined as the company’s profit margins narrowed during the reporting period.

The Fund’s overweight positions, relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark, in Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Estate Company, Limited, and Helical Bar Plc. all contributed to relative performance during the reporting period. Shares in Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a major Japanese developer, rose as investor sentiment for the company improved after it sold certain of its assets. Shares of another major Japanese developer, Mitsubishi Estate Company, Limited, rose as profit margins increased in its residential-focused businesses. Finally, shares of Helical Bar Plc., a UK-based developer, moved higher as the country’s economic recovery gained some momentum.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers projected long-term cash flow for each company and valued real estate securities using a proprietary dividend discount model. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest country overweight relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark was in France and its largest country underweight was in Switzerland.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      6.69%   
BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.09%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 75,709   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a total return from a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The global equity markets were highly resilient and generally produced strong results during the reporting period. In contrast, the global bond market was weak overall.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s outperformance was predominantly driven by its allocation to global stocks, particularly U.S. and Japanese equities. In addition, the Fund’s stock selection contributed to its performance. Areas of particular strength were global financial companies, Japanese exporters, UK homebuilders and European health care firms. The Fund also

benefited from its exposure to convertible bonds. The duration of the Fund’s fixed income holdings fluctuated between 0.6 and 4.0 years during the reporting period, generally averaging approximately 2.0 years (duration is used to measure the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates). Within the fixed income market, the Fund had a preference for European debt.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested in global stocks and bonds, convertible bonds, U.S. Treasury securities and cash. Several adjustments were made to the portfolio during the reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to convertible bonds was reduced during the first and second quarters of 2013, as interest rates rose due to expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would begin tapering its asset purchase program sooner than previously anticipated. The Fund’s U.S. equity exposure was also tactically reduced in July 2013 given Fed tapering concerns. The Fund continued to gradually build its position in Japanese equities during the period amidst highly accommodative fiscal and monetary policy in Japan. Finally, the Fund’s duration was tactically adjusted throughout the reporting period.

The Fund used futures for efficient portfolio management and to implement tactical positioning. The Fund also used currency derivatives to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies during the reporting period.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (3/30/07 TO 10/31/13)

 

 

LOGO

 

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the Strategic Preservation Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index from March 30, 2007 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Strategic Preservation Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. The Strategic Preservation Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that includes 20% MSCI World Index, 50% Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index and 30% BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill

Index. The Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index is an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Funds’s designated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. The performance of the MSCI World Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed-rate debt markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 3.75% sales charge.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 3 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Global Natural Resources Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6* and Select Class    Non-Diversified
International Realty Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Strategic Preservation Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Non-Diversified

 

* Class R6 Shares commenced operations on November 30, 2011 for the Global Natural Resources Fund.

The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:

The JPMorgan Global Natural Resources Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

The JPMorgan International Realty Fund will seek long-term capital growth.

The JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund seeks to provide a total return from a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, various forms of credit enhancements, such as bond insurance, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making

Table of Contents

determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in their portfolios by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input by country as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Funds. As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The following is the value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2013:

C. Futures Contracts — The Strategic Preservation Fund uses treasury, index and financial futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond market, enhance returns, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized

appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Funds also buy forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2013 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the year, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

G. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

I. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

J. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

K. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Global Natural Resources Fund

       0.80

International Realty Fund

       0.90   

Strategic Preservation Fund

       0.60   

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2  

Global Natural Resources Fund

       0.25        0.75        0.50

International Realty Fund

       0.25           0.75           n/a   

Strategic Preservation Fund

       0.25           0.75           n/a   

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor retained the following amounts (in thousands):

 

        Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC  

Global Natural Resources Fund

     $ 3         $ (a) 

International Realty Fund

       4           (a) 

Strategic Preservation Fund

       1           (a) 

 

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R5        Select Class  

Global Natural Resources Fund

       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.05        0.25

Strategic Preservation Fund

       0.25           0.25           n/a           0.05           0.25   

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations. The Funds earn interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations.

Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the International Realty Fund and Strategic Preservation Fund incurred less than $1,000 in brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals, mark to market of PFICs, non-taxable dividends, mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts and mark to market of futures contracts.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

At October 31, 2013, the Funds had post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards:

 

       Capital Loss Carryforward Character

At October 31, 2013, the following Funds had pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013. Average borrowings from the Facility for, or at any time during, the year ended October 31, 2013, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Number of

Days Outstanding

Global Natural Resources Fund

     $ 7,868           3         $ (a) 

 

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

 
46       J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

The J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:

 

        J.P. Morgan
Investor Funds
       JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds
 

Global Natural Resources Fund

       84.3       

International Realty Fund

                 51.9   

In addition, Strategic Preservation Fund has several shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that own significant portions of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, substantially all of the International Realty Fund’s net assets consisted of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had the following country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments.

 

      Australia     Canada     Germany     Hong Kong     Japan     Spain     United Kingdom     United States  

Global Natural Resources Fund

            28.2                                 21.6     19.5

International Realty Fund

     13.9                   13.2     28.4            13.7          

Strategic Preservation Fund

                   13.4            12.3        10.4            23.0   

As of October 31, 2013, the Global Natural Resources Fund invested approximately 40.8% and 25.0% of its total investments in the Diversified Metals & Mining and Oil & Gas Exploration & Production industries, respectively. The International Realty Fund invested approximately 44.9% and 27.9% of its total investments in the Real Estate Management & Development and Diversified industries, respectively.

Because the Global Natural Resources Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the natural resources sector, events that affect natural resources will have a greater effect on the Fund than they would on a fund that is more widely diversified among a number of unrelated industries. In addition, certain natural resources sub-sectors are subject to greater governmental regulation than are other industries; therefore, changes in tax and other government regulations may be more likely to adversely affect the Fund.

The International Realty Fund invests primarily in shares of real estate securities. While the Fund will not invest in real estate directly, the Fund may be subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate. These risks may include, but are not limited to, price movement as a result of interest rate fluctuations, general and local economic conditions, and heavy cash flow dependency, in addition to securities market risks.

The Strategic Preservation Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Global Natural Resources Fund, JPMorgan International Realty Fund and JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Global Natural Resources Fund, JPMorgan International Realty Fund and JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals

in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing that the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes

designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Funds in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information

provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis that was prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Global Natural Resources Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one year period ended December 31, 2012, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the equity committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of next year.

The Trustees noted that the International Realty Fund’s performance was in the third, second and second quintiles for both Class A and for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Strategic Preservation Fund’s performance was in the fifth, fifth and fourth quintiles both for Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that they were satisfied with the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Global Natural Resources Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Realty Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the second quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Strategic Preservation Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class Shares were in the third quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September

2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well-diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize long-term total return.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The global equity market was highly resilient during the reporting period amid generally robust investor demand. In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index finished the reporting period with a 27.18% gain. Overseas, the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 26.88%. Elsewhere, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 6.53% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. U.S. fixed income securities, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, posted a -1.08% return and substantially underperformed global equities for the reporting period. One of the few bright spots in the fixed income market was high yield bonds. The asset class was supported by overall strong demand and continued low default rates.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed its Composite Benchmark, which is comprised of 60% MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index.

The Fund’s allocation to high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), which are not held in the Composite Benchmark,

contributed to its relative performance. Strong corporate balance sheets and investors’ increasing appetite for risk benefited high yield bonds, which were the strongest performing fixed income asset class during the reporting period. Over the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the Fund maintained a 0% allocation to emerging market debt. This lack of exposure was beneficial for performance as the asset class underperformed other fixed income sectors. Deteriorating economic fundamentals, valuation levels that appeared expensive relative to other fixed income assets and emerging market equities, currency depreciation and fund outflows all contributed to weak performance for emerging market debt securities.

Among equities, the Fund had its greatest exposure to stocks in the U.S. and global developed markets. This weighting contributed to the Fund’s results versus the Composite Benchmark given the outperformance of U.S. and international developed stocks compared to developing market equities. Improving economic prospects, particularly within the U.S., Europe and Japan, helped to drive developed equity markets higher during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

J.P. Morgan’s Asset Management Solutions-Global Multi-Asset Group (“AMS-GMAG”) utilized top-down research to identify the Fund’s asset allocation. After determining what they believed to be the Fund’s ideal asset allocation, AMS-GMAG leveraged the resources and insights of specialist teams, each with expertise in managing money in the asset classes assigned to them by AMS-GMAG. These specialist teams used bottom-up fundamental research, researching investment opportunities to determine their underlying value. During the reporting period, the Fund invested in U.S., international and emerging market equities and high yield fixed income securities.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2011.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund, the MSCI World Index, the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index from May 31, 2011 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI World Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Global Allocation Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged

indexes that includes 60% MSCI World Index and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index is an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund through May 30, 2013, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Global Allocation Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize long-term total return.

Prior to May 31, 2013, the Fund was not publicly offered for investment.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R2 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities, including investments in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in J.P. Morgan Funds (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in

securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its net asset value.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”):

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2013 were $13,950 and 0.0%, respectively.

C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Fund invests in certain Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser or its affiliates pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act. An issuer which is under common control with the Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the following to be affiliated issuers. Included in the Realized Gain (Loss) amounts in the table below are distributions of realized gains, if any, by the affiliated Underlying Funds:

D. Loan Assignments — The Fund invests in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Fund purchases a loan assignment the Fund has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when they purchase an assignment; provided, however, that the Fund’s right may be more limited

 

 
24       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund maybe able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”) and any other person interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligator. In addition, loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.

E. Unfunded Commitments — The Fund may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments including commitments to buy loan assignments to settle on future dates as part of their normal investment activities. Unfunded commitments may include revolving loan facilities which may obligate the Fund to provide cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related loan assignment (Note 2.D.). The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from unfunded commitments is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund segregates security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available for the commitments on a future date. Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any difference between the sales price and current value of the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to buy to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. The Fund may receive an ongoing commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying of loan facility, which is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statement of Operations.

At October 31, 2013, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments which could be extended at the option of the borrower:

     Maturity

       Commitment
Fee Rate
       Rate if

       Principal
Amount

Altice Financing S.A

   Term Loan        7/2/19           4.500%           5.500%         $ 507         $ 476         $ 510   

F. Derivatives — The Fund uses instruments including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and options in connection with its investment strategy. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Fund. The Fund also uses derivatives to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

Notes F(1) — F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Fund.

(1). Options — The Fund purchases and sells (writes) put and call options on various instruments including futures, securities, currencies and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the security.

(2). Futures Contracts — The Fund uses treasury, index or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond markets. The Fund also uses futures to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(4). Summary of Derivatives Information — The following table presents the value of derivatives held as of October 31, 2013, by their primary underlying risk exposure and respective location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:

G. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the year, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchases of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and distributions of realized gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

The Fund invests in Underlying Funds and, as a result, bears a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown in the Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratio to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

J. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated

undistributed

(distributions in

excess of)

net investment

income

      

Accumulated

net realized

gains (losses)

 
     $ (305      $ (58,413      $ 58,718   

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to investments in passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) and foreign currency gains or losses.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor retained the following amounts:

 

        Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Select Class  
       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts, if any, are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Select Class  
       1.05        1.55        1.30        0.80

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

 

     Contractual Waivers           
      Investment

       Administration        Shareholder

       Total        Contractual

   $ 134,756         $ 18,955         $ 56,148         $ 209,859         $ 132,606   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.

There were no waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013.

The Underlying Funds may impose a separate advisory and a shareholder servicing fee. The Fund’s Adviser and/or Distributor have agreed to waive the Fund’s fees in the weighted average pro-rata amount of the advisory and shareholder servicing fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. These waivers will be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Fund’s contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Fund’s advisory fee and/or shareholder servicing fees.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund and/or certain Underlying Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

4. Investment Transactions

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investment securities held at October 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

        Aggregate
Cost
       Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation

     $ 28,346,661         $ 1,719,369         $ 70,635         $ 1,648,734   

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to mark to market of PFICs and wash sale loss deferrals.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2013 was as follows:

 

     

Ordinary

Net

Long-Term

The cumulative timing differences primarily consists of mark to market of futures contracts, mark to market of options contracts, mark to market of PFICs, straddle loss deferrals and wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, net capital losses recognized by the Fund are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards as follow:

 

    Capital Loss Carryforward Utilized  
     Short-Term        Long-Term  
  $ 1,254,600         $ 141,732   

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

 

 
30       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

One or more affiliates of the Adviser have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Fund, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Fund’s assets.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, a portion of the Fund’s net assets consist of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

Because of the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Fund is also subject to certain risks related to Underlying Funds’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as fixed income securities including high yield, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities; equity securities; foreign and emerging markets securities; commodities; and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

In addition, the Underlying Funds may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, which are also subject to specific risks related to their structure, sector or market and may be riskier than investments in other types of securities.

The Fund may also invest in unaffiliated ETFs. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount).

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as option contracts.

The Fund is subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period May 31, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the Fund and the other J.P. Morgan Funds in which the Fund invests (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s and the Underlying Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s and the Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s and the Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s and the Underlying Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the

Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund and the Underlying Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund and the Underlying

Table of Contents

Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund and the Underlying Funds.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund and the Underlying Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the J.P. Morgan Funds including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund and/or Underlying Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services for the Fund and/or Underlying Funds. The Board also reviewed the Adviser’s

allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for the one-year period. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain

representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s

management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

J. P. Morgan Funds

CEO’s Letter (Unaudited)

DECEMBER 4, 2013

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

Market Overview

Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2013

The global financial market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The U.S. equity market was highly resilient during the reporting period given overall robust investor demand, solid corporate profits and continued accommodative monetary policy. All told, the S&P 500 Index finished the reporting period with a 27.18% gain.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Growth Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s stock selection was positive in all sectors, with holdings in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors adding the most value.

Relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund underperformed over the trailing twelve-month period ended October 31, 2013. By design, the portfolio does not have full equity market exposure as the use of derivatives lowers exposure. This lower exposure drove underperformance given the strength in the equity markets over the period.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s return included its positioning in biotechnology companies Biogen Idec, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Shares of Biogen Idec, Inc. traded higher as investors realized the market potential for Tecfidera, and the impact it could have on Biogen’s top-line growth. Shares of Gilead Sciences, Inc. rose as investors rewarded the company for its continued execution on its Hepatitis C franchise. Shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. moved higher as the company was rewarded for strong execution in its Eylea franchise, a treatment for wet macular degeneration.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s performance included its positioning in Apple, Inc., Teradata Corp. and Express Scripts Holdings, Inc. Shares of Apple, Inc., a leading manufacturer of smartphones, tablets and high-end personal computers, lost market share to rival Samsung Electronics in the key smartphone category, fueling investor concerns about slowing sales growth. Shares of Teradata Corp., a data warehousing and enterprise analytics firm, struggled as competition in the data storage and retrieval space pressured margins. Shares of Express Scripts Holdings, Inc., which offers prescription benefits and disease- state management services, declined due to concerns regarding greater competition and increased government regulation of the pharmacy benefits management industry.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers used fundamental research to identify companies that they believed have the potential to achieve sustainable above-average growth. Growth companies purchased for the Fund included those that the Fund’s portfolio managers believed had large addressable markets, sustainable competitive advantages and positive earnings revisions. In addition, the Fund used a combination of futures contracts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to adjust the Fund’s equity market and sector exposure.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2010.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Growth Long/Short Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index from November 30, 2010 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index represents the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Since the Fund’s inception, it has not experienced any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s stock selection in the health care and producer durables sectors contributed to return, while holdings in the financial services and consumer staples sectors modestly detracted from return.

Relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed over the trailing twelve-month period ended October 31, 2013. This underperformance was primarily due to the short positions in the Fund, which detracted due to the strength in the equity markets over the period.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s performance included its long positions in Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Fluidigm Corp. and LinkedIn. Shares of biopharmaceutical company Aegerion Pharmaceuticals rallied sharply during the reporting period on better-than-expected earnings. Shares of Fluidigm Corp., a biotechnology tools company that creates microfluidic-based chips and instrumentation for biological research, moved higher as reported revenue and profit growth surpassed expectations. Shares of LinkedIn, a social networking website for people in professional occupations, rose on continued stronger-than-expected gains in revenues and earnings, and the emergence of new product areas that could further drive growth.

Individual detractors to the Fund’s performance included its positioning in Affymetrix, Inc., Imris, Inc. and Vocera Communications, Inc. The Fund maintained a short position in Affymetrix, Inc., which manufactures DNA microarrays. This was a negative for results as the company’s shares rallied as revenues and earnings exceeded expectations. The Fund was long Imris, Inc, a medical equipment company. Its shares fell sharply after the company lowered its forecast for fiscal 2013 sales growth due to delays in installations of its MRI systems. The Fund’s long position in Vocera Communications, Inc., a healthcare technology company, detracted from performance as the company’s shares fell on poor revenue and earnings news.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to construct a portfolio of long and short positions, researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. In addition, the Fund used a combination of futures contracts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to adjust the Fund’s equity market and sector exposure.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

   

Classes Offered

    

Diversified/Non-Diversified

Growth Long/Short Fund

  Class A, Class C and Select Class      Non-Diversified

Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund

  Class A, Class C and Select Class      Non-Diversified

The investment objective of Growth Long/Short Fund and Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

Currently, the Funds are not offered for public investment.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

 

25


Table of Contents

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

    Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

    Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

    Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”):

B. Futures Contracts — The Funds use index futures contracts to actively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolios. The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Table of Contents

The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

C. Short Sales — The Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund engages in short sales as part of its normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Fund sells securities it does not own. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund delivers the same securities to the broker.

The Fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOI. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net income or fee is reported as interest income or interest expense, respectively, on securities sold short in the Statements of Operations.

The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statements of Operations as dividend expense on securities sold short.

Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Fund will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on its SOI.

D. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, less dividend expense on securities sold short, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

E. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

F. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment

companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

    Paid-in-Capital     Accumulated
undistributed(distributions in

     Accumulated

The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to net operating losses and non-taxable dividends.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.50% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

     Class A     Class C  

Growth Long/Short Fund

     0.25     0.75

Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund

     0.25        0.75

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor did not retain any front-end sales charges or CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

     Class A     Class C     Select Class  

Growth Long/Short Fund

     0.25     0.25     0.25

Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund

     0.25        0.25        0.25   

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by each Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

     Class A     Class C     Select Class  

Growth Long/Short Fund

     1.95     2.45     1.70

Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund

     1.95        2.45        1.70

     63,399         3,568         10,566         77,533         67,694   

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Funds’ investment in such affiliated money market fund to the extent that the total waivers do not exceed the total fees charged by the Advisor, the Administrator or shareholder servicing agent. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

There were no waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. Each Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

     3,936,380         717,051         51,573         665,478   

For the Funds, the difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to wash sale loss deferrals and non-taxable dividends.

There were no distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

As of October 31, 2013, the components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows:

For the Funds, the cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of futures contracts, late year ordinary loss deferrals, non-taxable dividends and wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund

     55,876   

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

 

31


Table of Contents

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Funds’ shares are currently held by the Adviser.

As of October 31, 2013, the Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund pledged assets to BNP Paribas for securities sold short. Deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, are held at BNP Paribas.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11,

“Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Growth Long/Short Fund and JPMorgan Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Growth Long/Short Fund and JPMorgan Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes of each in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period November 30, 2010 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Table of Contents

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the period at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

 

40


Table of Contents

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Funds in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for the one-year period. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Growth Long/Short Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for Class A shares and in the second quintile for Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

 

41


Table of Contents

The Trustees noted that the Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund (“Universe Group”). The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Growth Long/Short Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the third and fourth quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Multi-Cap Long/Short Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the third and fourth quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

December 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds, in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

Fund Commentary

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Reporting Period Return:

      

Fund (Select Class Shares)*

     25.10

Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)

     23.29

Net Assets as of 10/31/2013

   $ 4,191,913   

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Global Unconstrained Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The global equity market was highly resilient during the reporting period amid generally robust investor demand. In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index finished the reporting period with a 27.18% gain. Overseas, the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 26.88%. Elsewhere, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 6.53% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Security selection and underweights relative to the Benchmark in emerging markets and North America contributed to relative return. The Fund’s underweight position versus the Benchmark in Japan, in particular its lack of exposure to Japanese companies that cater to domestic Japanese demand, was a major detractor from relative performance. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s security selection in the financials and information technology sectors contributed to relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from relative performance.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Hewlett-Packard Co., Baidu, Inc. and AXA S.A. Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co., a provider of computer hardware and software products, rose sharply during the reporting period as the company continued to restructure, cut costs and return cash to shareholders. Shares of Baidu, Inc., the operator of China’s most popular internet search engine, performed strongly, particularly in the second half of the reporting period as online ad spending increased. Shares of AXA S.A., a French insurance company, rallied as Europe’s economy stabilized and began to show signs of strength. The prospect of higher interest rates in the U.S. also helped to boost the stock.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions versus the Benchmark in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Komatsu Ltd. Shares of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., the world’s largest generic drug company, struggled amid increasing competition and analyst downgrades. Shares of Komatsu Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of construction equipment, fell as slumping demand for mining equipment overshadowed economic improvements in the U.S., Japan and China. Also detracting from relative performance was the Fund’s positioning in Apple, Inc. Shares of Apple, Inc., a leading manufacturer of smartphones, tablets and high-end personal computers, struggled as the company lost market share to rival Samsung Electronics in the key smartphone category, fueling investor concerns about slowing sales growth.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund primarily invested in equity securities of global (U.S. and foreign) companies and was generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or sector. The Fund invested in companies across capitalization sizes, sectors and geographic locations, including emerging markets.

Table of Contents

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2011.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Global Unconstrained Equity Fund and the MSCI All Country World Index from November 30, 2011 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI All Country World Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI All Country World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Since the Fund’s inception, it has not experienced any shareholder activity. If shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated

 

16


Table of Contents

future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

    Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

    Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

    Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input by country as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”):

B. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

C. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of $29,397 paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund were amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time the Fund commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees in the Statement of Operations. For one year ended October 31, 2013, total offering costs paid were:

 

     Offering Costs  

Global Unconstrained Equity Fund

   $ 2,409   

D. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

E. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

F. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchase/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

Paid-in-Capital

   Accumulated undistributed
net investment income
     Accumulated net realized gains (losses)  
$ —      $ 3,622       $ (3,622

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to investments in passive foreign investment companies.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class R2 Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor did not retain front-end sales charges or CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

Class A

   Class C   Class R2   Class R5   Select Class

0.25%

   0.25%   0.25%   0.05%   0.25%

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

Class A

   Class C   Class R2   Class R5   Class R6   Select Class

1.35%

   1.85%   1.60%   0.90%   0.85%   1.10%

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

   $ 3,158       $ 33,088       $ 116,681   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.

There were no waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

   $ 695,541       $ 56,400       $ 639,141   

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to wash sale loss deferrals.

   $ 277,853       $ 639,253   

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund are carried forward indefinitely and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying

 

21


Table of Contents

upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund’s shares are currently held by the Adviser.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, a significant portion of the Fund’s net assets consisted of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund invested 42.0% of its total investments in issuers in the United States.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Global Unconstrained Equity Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Global Unconstrained Equity Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period November 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Table of Contents

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to

Table of Contents

financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board considered that the Adviser does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Fund. The Board also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark index and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the performance of the Fund since its inception on November 30, 2011 as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund (“Universe Group”). The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed

information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September

2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”)

     25.77%

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. The global equity market was highly resilient during the reporting period amid generally robust investor demand. In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index finished the reporting period with a 27.18% gain. Elsewhere, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 25.77%. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) returned 6.53% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. U.S. fixed income securities, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, posted a -1.08% return and substantially underperformed global equities for the reporting period. One of the few bright spots in the fixed income market was high yield bonds (also known as junk bonds). The asset class was supported by overall strong demand and continued low default rates.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) returned 11.34%, underperforming the Income Builder Composite Benchmark (the “Composite Benchmark”), which is comprised of 60% MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the Fund outperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Fund’s allocation to equity securities, which substantially outperformed fixed income securities, contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, which only contains fixed income

securities. Over the same period, the Fund underperformed the MSCI World Index. The Fund’s allocation to fixed income securities detracted from its performance relative to the MSCI World Index, which only contains equity securities.

Among equities, the Fund had a larger exposure to international developed equities than did the Composite Benchmark, and had exposure to emerging market equities, which are not in the Composite Benchmark. As international developed and emerging market equities underperformed U.S. equities during the reporting period, the Fund’s positioning in these sectors detracted from its relative performance. The Fund’s allocations to preferred equities and emerging market debt, neither of which are in the Composite Benchmark, underperformed global developed equities and, therefore, detracted from relative performance.

The Fund’s allocation to high yield bonds and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities contributed to its performance versus the Composite Benchmark. Better-than-expected housing data helped the Fund’s mortgage allocation, and strong corporate balance sheets and investors’ increasing appetite for risk benefited high yield bonds.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers positioned the Fund to tactically pursue income. They continued to maintain a positive view on global developed market equities in general. Internationally, the Fund was invested in globally-oriented companies with yields that, despite near-term volatility, the portfolio managers believed should prove resilient in a low interest rate environment. Although the Fund’s exposure to high yield bonds was reduced in favor of equities, the portfolio managers continued to believe that high yield remains an important part of a globally diversified portfolio. The portfolio managers believed that the global desire for yield and the low expectation for defaults provided a solid backdrop for outperformance for high yield versus other fixed income asset classes.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Income Builder Fund, the MSCI World Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, the Income Builder Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index from May 31, 2007 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI World Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and the Income Builder Composite Benchmark do not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The MSCI World Index assumes the dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate

bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The Income Builder Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that includes 60% MSCI World Index and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

From the inception of the Fund through December 18, 2009, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted. Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 4.50% sales charge.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Income Builder Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also

take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value Level 3 securities held by the Fund at October 31, 2013.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input by country as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):

Transfers into, or out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the year.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), respectively, which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at October 31, 2013, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), amounted to approximately $8,276,000. This amount is included in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

# The table above does not include Level 3 securities that are valued by brokers and pricing services. At October 31, 2013, the value of these securities was approximately $34,180,000. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2.A. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, unchanged price review, results of broker and vendor due diligence and consideration of macro or security specific events.
(a) Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account such multiples when pricing the investments.
(b) Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account discounts, as applicable, when pricing the investments.
(c) Securities senior to the preferred securities in issuing entity capital structure result in preferred stock being valued at zero.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments are listed above. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, probability of default, yield, and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement. A significant change in broker pricing information could result in a significantly higher or lower value in such Level 3 instruments.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and includes, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities held as of October 31, 2013, were approximately $20,386,000 and 0.2%, respectively.

C. Loan Assignments — The Fund invests in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Fund purchases a loan assignment the Fund has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when it purchases an assignment; provided, however, that the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”) and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such

collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In addition, loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.

D. Unfunded Commitments — The Fund may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments including commitments to buy loan participations and assignments to settle on future dates as part of its normal investment activities. Unfunded commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related loan assignment (Note 2.C.). The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from unfunded commitments is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund segregates security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available for the commitments on a future date. Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any difference between the sales price and current value of the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to buy to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends.

At October 31, 2013, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments which could be extended at the option of the borrower (amounts in thousands):

   Term Loan        07/02/19           4.500      5.500    $ 109         $ 103         $ 109   

E. Futures Contracts — The Fund uses index, treasury or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to particular countries or regions. The Fund also uses futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

F. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Fund also buys forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The Fund’s derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2013 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

H. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

I. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

J. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

K. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, Management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

L. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on short-term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability for these securities that have been held for less than one year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount, if any, is reported as Deferred India capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Short-term realized capital losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short-term realized capital gains.

India has recently enacted rules imposing a tax on indirect transfers of Indian shares, although additional guidance from the Indian tax authorities is awaited. At present, management does not believe that such tax will be applicable to the Fund. However, management’s conclusion, regarding this and other foreign tax matters, may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards and the tax laws and regulations.

M. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid monthly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated

net investment

     $         $ 9,488         $ (9,488

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to investments in passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”).

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the annual effective rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

Table of Contents

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor retained the following amounts (in thousands):

 

        Front-End Sales Charge      CDSC  
     $3,285      $ 50   

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares. The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statement of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A      Class C        Select Class  
     0.75%        1.25        0.60

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

 

       Contractual Waivers  
        Investment
Advisory
       Administration        Shareholder
Servicing
       Total  
     $ 2,610         $ 5,232         $ 14,288         $ 22,130   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013 was approximately $172,000.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Adviser or an affiliate may from time to time exercise discretion on behalf of certain of their clients with respect to the purchase or sale of a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Investment activities on behalf of these shareholders could impact the Fund.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

The Fund is subject to the risk that should the Fund decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems representative of its value, the value of the Fund’s net assets could be adversely affected.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The Fund invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap and option contracts, credit linked notes, exchange-traded notes, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and To-Be-Announced securities.

The Fund is subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, prepayments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund invested approximately 59.2% of its total investments in the United States.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Portfolio’s financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Income Builder Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with coun-

sels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by J.P. Morgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers

and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one- and three-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

Table of Contents

The Trustees noted the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one- three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed

information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September

2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junkbonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. Despite indications that it would begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the U.S. Federal Reserve surprised the market by announcing a delay of the tapering at its meeting in September 2013. Elsewhere, Japan’s central bank embarked on an aggressive campaign to support its economy and end deflation, while the European Central Bank vowed to do “whatever it takes” to preserve the euro.

Within the emerging market debt asset class, U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt generated the weakest results, followed by local currencies and corporate bonds. In terms of local currencies, the Indonesian rupiah, South African rand, Indian rupee, Turkish lira and Brazil real were the worst performers. Each of these countries is running a current account deficit and was especially susceptible to rising U.S. Treasury yields.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the J.P. Morgan GBI — EM Global Diversified Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The emerging market local currency debt asset class was negatively impacted by outflows and widening spreads during the reporting period (generally, bond prices decline when spreads widen). The most significant detractor from the Fund’s relative performance was its overweight allocation versus the Benchmark to Brazilian local debt. Brazilian bonds lost value as Brazil’s central bank increased interest rates several times during the reporting period in an effort to contain elevated inflation in the country. Underweight positions in Polish and South African local debt and the local currencies of both countries were also negative for the Fund’s relative performance.

The most significant contributor to the Fund’s relative performance was its underweight to Turkish local debt. Turkish bonds struggled during the period due, in part, to the country’s current account deficit. Underweights versus the Benchmark to Indonesian local debt and its local currency were also beneficial for results. Elsewhere, tactical positioning in the Singapore dollar was additive to the Fund’s relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested primarily in debt securities from emerging market countries that the Fund’s portfolio managers believed had the potential to provide total return, using these investments to establish overweight and underweight currency positions versus the Benchmark. The Fund also used currency derivatives to establish overweight and underweight currency positions versus the Benchmark and held U.S. cash as support for these positions. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s largest currency overweights versus the Benchmark were in Nigeria, Indonesia and Chile. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio managers looked to position the portfolio to benefit from changes in the interest rates of different countries.

In terms of local rates, the Fund was overweight Peru, Indonesia, Mexico and Nigeria, as the Fund’s portfolio managers believed that the economic fundamentals of these countries may lead to lower rates (generally, bond prices increase when rates decline).

Duration as of 10/31/2013      0.9 years   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund posted a negative absolute return, but outperformed the Barclays Global Treasury 1-3 Year Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. This outperformance was due, in part, to the Barclays Global Treasury 1-3 Year Index’s overweight, relative to the Fund, to the Japanese yen, which depreciated approximately 12% versus the U.S. dollar during the reporting period. The yen weakened amid aggressive Japanese government and central bank initiatives aimed at stimulating the economy and ending deflation.

The Fund underperformed the Barclays Global Ex-G4 Benchmark Currency Index (the “Supplemental Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s investments in local longer duration bonds detracted from performance relative to the Supplemental Benchmark as concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would scale back its large-scale asset purchases caused yields across the globe to rise. Duration is used to measure the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with longer duration will experience a larger increase or decrease in price as interest rates go down or up, respectively, versus bonds with shorter duration.

Overall, the Fund’s currency management contributed to relative performance versus the Supplemental Benchmark. The Fund’s short position in the Australian dollar was the main contributor as the currency depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the reporting period. This was especially pronounced during the second quarter of 2013, as the U.S. dollar was supported by expectations for tapering of Fed asset purchases and rising bond yields amid improving U.S. economic data. At the same time, the commodity-based Australian dollar was very weak given ongoing concerns regarding the slowdown in Chinese economic growth, as well as less investor risk appetite and softer commodity prices. Elsewhere, the Fund’s long positions in the South Korean won and Russian ruble detracted from performance relative to the Supplemental Benchmark as

emerging markets experienced outflows following concerns that the Fed would begin to taper its asset purchases.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund attempted to benefit from foreign currency strength and weakness against the U.S. dollar. To establish overweight and underweight positions in currencies, the Fund primarily invested in securities issued by foreign governments, agencies and supranationals. The Fund also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to establish these positions and held U.S. cash as support for these positions.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Fund seeks to provide a high total return primarily from a portfolio of fixed income and other debt securities denominated in foreign currencies.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund posted a negative absolute return, but outperformed the Barclays Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Amid a rising interest rate environment, this outperformance was largely due to the Fund’s shorter duration than that of the Barclays Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index. Duration is used to measure the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with longer duration will experience a larger increase or decrease in price as interest rates go down or up, respectively, versus bonds with shorter duration.

The Fund underperformed the Barclays Global Ex-USD Benchmark Currency (Trade-Weighted) Index (the “Supplemental Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s investments in local longer duration bonds detracted from performance relative to the Supplemental Benchmark as concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would scale back its large-scale asset purchases caused yields across the globe to rise.

Overall, the Fund’s currency management contributed to relative performance versus the Supplemental Benchmark. The Fund’s short position in the Japanese yen was the main contributor to relative performance. The yen weakened amid aggressive government and central bank initiatives aimed at stimulating the economy and ending deflation. Elsewhere, the Fund’s long positions in the South Korean won and Russian ruble detracted from performance relative to the Supplemental Benchmark as emerging markets experienced outflows following concerns that the Fed would begin to taper its asset purchases. Finally, the Fund’s short position in the euro detracted from relative performance. The euro appreciated as the European Central Bank vowed to maintain its accommodative monetary policies.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund attempted to benefit from foreign currency strength and weakness against the U.S. dollar. To establish overweight and underweight positions in currencies, the Fund primarily invested in securities issued by foreign governments, agencies and supranationals.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (3/30/07 TO 10/31/13)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan International Currency Income Fund, the Barclays Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index, the Barclays Global Ex-USD Benchmark Currency (Trade-Weighted) Index and the Lipper Alternative Currency Strategies Average from March 30, 2007 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Barclays Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index and the Barclays Global Ex-USD Benchmark Currency (Trade-Weighted) Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund. The performance of the Lipper Alternative Currency Strategies Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Barclays Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index measures the performance of fixed-rate local currency sovereign debt of investment grade countries outside the United States that has remaining maturities of one to three years. The Barclays Global Ex-USD Benchmark Currency (Trade-Weighted) Index is a total return index that is constructed to track the performance of a basket of

1-month cash settled foreign currency forward positions in a basket of currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Alternative Currency Strategies Average is an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

From the inception of the Fund through November 3, 2009, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted. Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 3 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
International Currency Income Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified

The investment objective of Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund is to seek to provide total return.

The investment objective of Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund is to seek to provide total return.

The investment objective of International Currency Income Fund is to seek to provide a high total return primarily from a portfolio of fixed income and other debt securities denominated in foreign currencies.

Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2012. Prior to November 30, 2012, the Fund was not publicly offered for investment.

Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2011.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, various forms of credit enhancements, such as bond insurance, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Funds’ securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations

Table of Contents

regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment.

The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

* Level 3 securities are valued by brokers and pricing services. At October 31, 2013, the value of these securities was approximately $1,860,000. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note A. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, results of broker and vendor due diligence, unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events.

 

(a) All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually on the SOIs. Level 1 consists of a money market mutual fund that is held for daily investments of cash. Please refer to the SOIs for country specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2013.

The following is a summary of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value (amounts in thousands):

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

Transfers into, or out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the year.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), respectively, which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at October 31, 2013, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), amounted to approximately $(311,000).

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Funds. As of October 31, 2013, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Derivatives — The Funds use instruments including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives in connection with their investment strategies. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. The Funds also use derivatives to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Funds may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a Fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparty (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and the Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements gives the Fund and counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Funds.

Notes C(1) — C(4) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.

(1). Options — The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund purchases and sells (“writes”) put and call options on various instruments including futures, securities, currencies and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund for options purchased are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the security.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund for options written are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

(2). Futures Contracts — The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund uses treasury futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments. The Fund also uses futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds use forward foreign currency exchange contracts, including non-deliverable forwards, mainly as a substitute for securities in which the Funds can invest, to increase income or gain to the Funds and to hedge or manage the Funds’ exposure to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(4). Swaps — The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund engages in various swap transactions, including interest rate swaps to manage interest rate (e.g., duration, yield curve) risks within its portfolio. The Fund also uses swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are negotiated contracts (“over the counter “OTC” swaps”) between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.

Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund are recognized as a realized gain or loss when the contract matures or is terminated. The value of a swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund. Collateral received by the Fund is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, which provides collateral management services to the Fund (See Note 3.G.).

Interest Rate Swaps

The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage fund exposure to interest rates or to either preserve or generate a return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio. These are agreements between counterparties to exchange periodic interest payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the year, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchases of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

E. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of approximately $48,000 and $68,000 paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund and Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund, respectively, are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Funds commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Funds, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time the Funds commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2013, total offering costs paid were (amounts in thousands):

 

        Offering Costs  

Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund

     $ 32   

Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund

       6   

F. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

H. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

J. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid monthly for Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund and quarterly for Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund and International Currency Income Fund and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

     (2,059     (14,371     16,430   

 

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses, net operating losses, periodic payment from swaps, taxable overdistributions and return of capital distributions.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund

     0.70

Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund

     0.55

International Currency Income Fund

     0.55

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an administration agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMCB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R5        Select Class

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations. The Funds earn interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Funds’ investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund

   $ 52   

Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund

     143   

International Currency Income Fund

     335   

G. Collateral Management Fees — JPMCB provides derivatives collateral management services for the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for these services are included in Collateral management fees on the Statements of Operations.

H. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. Each Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

4. Investment Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2013, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals, mark to market of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and investments in swaps.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of October 31, 2013, the following Funds had post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards (amounts in thousands):

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund Loan Rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013. Average borrowings from the Facility for, or at any time during, the year ended October 31, 2013, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

One or more affiliates of the Adviser have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Funds’ assets. Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

Prior to November 30, 2012, the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund’s shares were held by the Fund’s Adviser.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, substantially all of the Funds’ net assets consisted of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

The Funds are subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund, such as swap and option contracts and credit linked notes.

The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund is subject to the risk that should the Fund decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems to be representative of its value, the value of the Fund’s net assets could be adversely affected.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, JPMorgan Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund and JPMorgan International Currency Income Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, JPMorgan Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund and JPMorgan International Currency Income Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to certain J.P. Morgan Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent

counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity

and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Funds does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one- and three-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their

review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the performance of the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund since its inception on June 29, 2012 as compared with that of its benchmark index through December 31, 2012. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted the performance of the Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one year period ended December 31, 2012. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the fixed income committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the International Currency Income Fund’s performance was in the fourth, third and second quintiles for Class A shares and in the fourth, third and first quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively and that the independent consultant had indicated the Fund had met its risk objectives, but underperformed its return objectives. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the fixed income committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Funds to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Funds and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fourth quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Ex-G4 Currency Strategies Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Currency Income Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the second quintile, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class Shares were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury

yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Reporting Period Return:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      (22.03)%   
Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return      (12.21)%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 382,106   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term total return.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund’s portfolio managers use a systematic and fundamental investment approach that utilizes a proprietary quantitative model with an emphasis on risk management. The Fund’s commodity weightings reflect the Fund’s portfolio managers’ analysis of macroeconomic influences, supply and demand levels, the impact of historical commodity prices, the relationships between various commodities and risk assessments. The Fund employs a risk management process that includes both a volatility target and a drawdown management process, which decreases (increases) the risk target as a function of negative (positive) portfolio performance. The Fund’s approach is unconstrained versus the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return (the “Benchmark”), an index of commodities.

HOW DID THE COMMODITIES MARKET PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?

The Benchmark returned -12.21% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. All sectors of the commodities market faced headwinds during the reporting period. The agriculture sector was the biggest detractor from the Benchmark’s performance, as favorable crop conditions, combined with aggressive planting in response to the North American drought of 2012, led to falling prices, particularly for corn. The precious metals sector was the second largest detractor from the Benchmark’s performance. The sector was negatively impacted by speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) might soon end its accommodative monetary policy. Energy markets were down slightly on lackluster demand and increasing production in North America. Elsewhere, industrial metals and soft commodities were generally weak as demand could not keep up with increasing supplies.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. The Fund’s positioning among precious metals was the largest driver of the

Fund’s negative absolute return and relative underperformance. In the early portion of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight in this sector, largely due to a view that the Fed’s easy monetary policy would continue. However, speculation that accommodative Fed monetary policy would end sooner than previously anticipated drove prices lower. The size of the Fund’s exposure to precious metals was reduced during the reporting period, due to increased volatility and continued negative trends in precious metals prices.

In the agriculture sector, the Fund’s overweight position to grains during the last months of 2012 hurt absolute and relative performance as the South American soy and corn crop harvests were robust. The energy sector was another source of negative absolute performance and relative underperformance for the Fund. In particular, an underweight exposure to natural gas early in 2013 was detrimental for the Fund as prices rallied on larger-than-expected withdrawals from natural gas storage.

Elsewhere, positioning in industrial metals and soft commodities contributed to the Fund’s relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund was underweight and held a short position in industrial metals during most of the reporting period, which was beneficial for results as new supply was generally robust. With respect to soft commodities, positioning relative to the Benchmark was mixed during the reporting period, but overall positive for relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested in a wholly-owned subsidiary that invested in commodity-linked derivative instruments and provided exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets without investing directly in physical commodities. The Fund also invested in a portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities, such as commercial paper or other short-term instruments that generally had a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

Dispersion of returns between individual commodities and sectors remained high, presenting opportunities for active commodity selection. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was long the energy, agriculture, soft commodities and precious metals sectors, while short the industrial metals sector.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on January 13, 2010.

Returns for Class R5 Shares prior to its inception date were based on the performance of Select Class Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been higher than those shown because Class R5 Shares have lower expenses than Select Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return and the Lipper Commodities General Funds Average from January 13, 2010 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Lipper Commodities General Funds Average reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain

distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Commodities General Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return is composed of futures contracts on 22 physical commodities. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Commodities General Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund through March 10, 2010, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Non-Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term total return.

During the period May 2, 2011 through August 1, 2012, the Fund was publicly offered on a limited basis.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R5 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Basis for Consolidation for the Fund

HCM Commodities Strategy Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on August 18, 2009 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as described in the Fund’s prospectus. As of October 31, 2013 net assets of the Fund were approximately $382,106,000 of which approximately $80,748,000, or approximately 21.1%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets. The Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“CSOI”) includes positions of the Fund and the Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Fund and the Subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps (except return swaps on commodities as described in Note 2.C.) and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

Table of Contents

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment.

The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report, are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the CSOI (amounts in thousands):

(a) All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually on the CSOI. Level 1 consists of three affiliated money market mutual funds, which are held for daily investments of cash and as an investment of cash collateral for swaps. Please refer to the CSOI for industry specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers among any levels for the year ended October 31, 2013.

B. Futures Contracts — The Fund uses foreign exchange futures contracts to obtain long and short exposure to the underlying commodities markets.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (“CSOP”). Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the CSOP at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the CSOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“CSAL”). A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the CSAL.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown in the CSAL, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges (e.g., NYMEX), boards of trade or other platforms (e.g., Clearport). The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. For trades executed on other platforms, these futures contracts

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

must be offset on the same platform in which they were executed; therefore liquidity risk exists to the extent there is a lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s futures contracts activity during the year ended October 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

 

Futures Contracts:

        

Average Notional Balance Long

   $ 330,271   

Ending Notional Balance Long

     114,115   

C. Return Swaps on Commodities and Commodity Indices — The Fund uses return swaps on commodities futures and commodity futures indices to obtain long and short exposure to commodities markets. The value of a swap agreement is recorded at the beginning of the measurement period. Swaps’ values on commodity futures and commodity indices are based on the values of underlying futures contracts, using the last sale or closing price from the principal exchange on which the contract is traded. Under some circumstances, commodity futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a commodity futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions. Change in swap values is reported as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation — swaps on the CSOP. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon termination of a swap and is based on the difference between the contract price and market price of the underlying instrument or when an offsetting position is entered into. Return swaps on commodity indices are subject to monthly resets. Realized gain or loss is recorded on reset date of the swap and is based on the difference between contract and market price of underlying instrument.

Upon entering into a swap, the Fund may be required to post an initial collateral amount (referred to as “Independent Amount”), as defined in the swap agreement. Independent Amounts are posted to segregated accounts at the Fund’s custodian. The Fund is required to post additional collateral to the segregated accounts, for the benefit of counterparties, as applicable, for mark to market losses on swaps. Balances in segregated accounts are invested in affiliated money market funds (see Note 3.F. for reimbursements regarding cash collateral amounts invested in these funds). Collateral invested in affiliated money market funds as of October 31, 2013 was approximately $59,690,000 which is reported on the CSAL as Investments in affiliates — restricted.

The Fund pays a monthly financing charge to one counterparty, which is calculated based on the average balance of the segregated account excluding Independent Amounts, for the benefit of that counterparty, and a LIBOR-based rate. This amount is recorded as Interest expense to non-affiliates on the CSOP.

The Fund is entitled to receive cash from counterparties as collateral for mark to market gains on swap contracts. When the Fund receives such cash collateral, a corresponding liability is recorded, and included in Due to broker for swap contracts on the CSAL.

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to an over the counter derivative, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives, including return swaps, also results in a form of leverage and, as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded in the CSAL.

The Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparty (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements give the Fund and counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

The Fund’s activity in return swaps is concentrated with four counterparties. Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s swap activity during the year ended October 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

The Fund’s derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2013 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

E. Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may enter into repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that meet the Adviser’s credit guidelines. The Fund requires that the collateral received in a repurchase agreement transaction be transferred to a custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the Fund to obtain collateral in the event of a counterparty default. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the CSOP.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchases of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on each transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

G. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

I. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income of the Fund and the Subsidiary are separately calculated. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code and its taxable income, including net gains, is included as ordinary income in the calculation of the Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of the Subsidiary are not deductible by the Fund either in the current period or carried forward to future periods.

J. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated

Undistributed

(distributions in

excess of)

net investment

income

      

Accumulated

net realized

gains (losses)

 
     $ (319,851      $ 32,684         $ 287,167   

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to net operating losses and Subsidiary taxable losses.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and the Subsidiary and for such services is paid a fee. The fee for services to the Fund is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee for services to the Subsidiary is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser, on behalf of the Subsidiary, has entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“HCM”) which is wholly-owned by JPMAM. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser pays HCM a monthly sub-advisory fee of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Subsidiary.

The Adviser and HCM make the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an administration agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund and the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services for the Fund, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In consideration for services rendered to the Subsidiary, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Subsidiary.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

Table of Contents

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor retained approximately $12 in front-end sales charges and approximately $2 in CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R5        Select Class  
       0.25        0.25        0.05        0.25

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund and Subsidiary. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund and the Subsidiary for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the CSOP. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the CSOP.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the CSOP.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R5        Select Class  
       1.65        2.15        1.20        1.40

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

 

       Contractual Waivers  
        Investment
Advisory
       Total  
     $ 2,882         $ 2,882   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive and/or reimburse to the Fund an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund to the extent that the total waivers do not exceed the total fees charged by the Adviser, the Administrator or shareholder servicing agent. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013 was approximately $618,000.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund or Subsidiary for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the CSOP.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

4. Investment Transactions

     $         $ (45,382      $ (15,298

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of late year loss deferrals, differing treatments of gain/loss recognition for return swaps on commodities and mark to market of futures contracts.

The Federal income tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) includes unrealized depreciation of the Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary of approximately $694 million, which, if realized, is not deductible for income tax purposes.

For financial reporting purposes, realized gain or loss on return swaps on commodities is recorded upon termination of a swap or when an offsetting position is entered into. For Federal income tax purposes, realized gain or loss is recognized when the swap reaches its termination. As a result, there are typically timing differences relating to the differing treatments of gain/loss recognition for return swaps on commodities.

During the year ended October 31, 2013 the Subsidiary had approximately $297 million of losses for tax purposes, which included approximately $13 million of losses from terminated return swaps on commodities recognized for financial reporting purposes in the prior year and excluded approximately $6 million of losses from return swaps on commodities to be recognized for tax purposes when terminated next year. The Subsidiary’s loss for the current year is not available to offset its future taxable income. The approximately $6 million of losses from return swaps on commodities to be recognized for tax purposes next year can only be utilized by the Fund to the extent of tax basis realized gains in the Subsidiary in that same year.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards:

 

       Capital Loss Carryforward Character  
        Short-Term        Long-Term  
     $ 18,146         $ 27,236   

At October 31, 2013, the Fund did not have any pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards.

Late year ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund deferred to November 1, 2013 late year ordinary losses of (amounts in thousands):

 

      Late Year Ordinary Loss  
   $ 6,658   

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013 or at any time during the year then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the CSOP. The Fund had no interest expense as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013 or at any time during the year then ended.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund has shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that own a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Fund’s performance.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap contracts.

By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund.

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

Derivatives, including commodity-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures and options on futures, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk and to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

The Fund’s investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

8. Subsequent Event

At their meeting in December 2013, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved the liquidation of the Fund which will occur on or about February 7, 2014. As of December 27, 2013, the Fund no longer accepts subscription orders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of portfolio investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) and its subsidiary (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period January 13, 2010 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and, collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory and sub-advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the

proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreements.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser and sub-advisor, as applicable, from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser and sub-advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and

implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser and sub-advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedules for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for the applicable one-year period. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Fund

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2012, The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and sub-advisor and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that they were satisfied with their analysis of the Fund’s performance. They requested that the Fund’s Adviser and sub-advisor provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the money market and alternative products committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the

Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the third quintile, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fifth quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early

September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Reporting Period Return:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      3.39%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      6.53%   
J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified      -2.27%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013 (In Thousands)    $ 29,114   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Total Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve total return.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policies and, in the U.S., the impact of the fiscal cliff, sequestration and partial government shutdown. Despite indications that it would begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the U.S. Federal Reserve surprised the market by announcing a delay of the tapering at its meeting in September 2013. Elsewhere, Japan’s central bank embarked on an aggressive campaign to support its economy and end deflation, while the European Central Bank vowed to preserve the euro.

While emerging market stocks generated a positive return, they underperformed international developed stocks during the reporting period. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) gained 6.53%. In contrast, developed market equities, as measured by the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), returned 26.88% for the same period. Headwinds facing emerging market stocks included concerns regarding the trajectory of growth in China, generally weakening commodity prices and rising U.S. interest rates. Within the emerging market debt asset class, U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt generated the weakest results, followed by local currencies and corporate bonds. U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt was negatively impacted by rising U.S. Treasury yields. In terms of local currencies, the Indonesian rupiah, South African rand and Indian rupee were the worst performers. Each of these countries is running a current account deficit and was especially susceptible to rising U.S. Treasury yields.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (“Equity Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013 and outperformed the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (“Fixed Income Benchmark”) for the same period.

The relative performance of the Fund’s equity holdings versus the Equity Benchmark was helped by stock selection in China and Taiwan. The Fund’s relative performance versus the Equity Benchmark was hurt by an underweight versus the Equity Benchmark in Taiwan and an overweight in Turkey.

The relative performance of the Fund’s fixed income holdings versus the Fixed Income Benchmark was helped by security selection in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. The Fund’s out-of-Benchmark allocation to the Mexican peso was also beneficial, as were its underweight to Morocco and overweight to the Dominican Republic. The Fund’s underweight versus the Fixed Income Benchmark to Lebanon and out-of-Benchmark allocation to the Polish zloty detracted from relative performance. Elsewhere, security selection in Brazil and Argentina was negative for the Fund’s relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested in both emerging market stocks and bonds during the reporting period. The Fund’s portfolio managers combined top-down macroeconomic research, identifying what they believed to be the key themes driving emerging markets, with bottom-up fundamental research, researching individual countries, stocks and bonds in an effort to find attractive investment opportunities. The Fund’s portfolio managers used currency derivatives to take positions in currencies based on their top-down macroeconomic research, as well as to hedge several of the Fund’s foreign-denominated securities back to the U.S. dollar.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2011.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Total Emerging Markets Fund, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index from November 30, 2011 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees, and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees, and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the

expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified tracks total returns for U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities: Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds. The diversified index limits the exposure of some of the larger countries. The Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index represents the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Total Emerging Markets Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class    Non-Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide total return.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2011. Prior to November 30, 2012, the Fund was not publicly offered for investment.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, various forms of credit enhancements, such as bond insurance, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.(the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in

securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”):

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Derivatives — The Fund uses instruments including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, in connection with their respective investment strategies. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Fund. The Fund also use derivatives to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

Notes C(1) — C(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Fund.

(1). Futures Contracts — The Fund uses index or treasury futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

 

 
22       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

(2). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Fund also buys forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(3). Options — The Fund purchases and sells (“write”) put and call options on various instruments including futures, securities, currencies and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within their portfolios and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the security.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the year, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchases of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

E. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of $23,952 paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund were amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time the Fund commenced operations. For the year ended October 31, 2013, total offering costs paid were (amounts in thousands):

 

      Offering
Costs
 

Total Emerging Markets Fund

   $ 2   

F. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

H. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for

 

 
OCTOBER 31, 2013   J.P. MORGAN FUNDS         25   


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchase/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

J. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated
undistributed

(distributed
in excess of)

net investment

income

      

Accumulated

net realized

gains (losses)

 
     $ (1,519      $ 34,676         $ (33,157

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMCB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor did not retain any front-end sales charges or CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R5        Select Class  
       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.05        0.25

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts, if any, are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R5        Class R6        Select Class  
       1.55        2.05        1.80        1.10        1.05        1.30

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

     $ 278,199         $ 23,771         $ 301,970         $ 95,898   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

Waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2013 were $185.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investment securities held at October 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

       

Aggregate

Cost

      

Gross

Unrealized

Appreciation

     $ 26,854,743         $ 2,321,430         $ 582,317         $ 1,739,113   

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to wash sales loss deferrals.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 was as follows:

 

       

Ordinary

Income

      

Total

Distributions

Paid

 
     $ 1,269,682         $ 1,269,682   

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 was as follows:

 

       

Ordinary

Income

      

Total

Distributions

     $ 46,478         $ 46,478   

As of October 31, 2013, the components of net assets (excluding paid-in capital) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

       

Current

Unrealized

Appreciation
(Depreciation)

 
     $ 88,637         $ 249,291         $ 1,733,138   

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after October 31, 2011 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses.

At October 31, 2013, the Fund did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the year (then) ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2013, substantially all of the Fund’s shares were held by the Fund’s adviser.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2013, substantially all of the Fund’s net assets consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had the following country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments.

 

        China        South Korea      Brazil  
       11.6        10.4      10.3

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap and option contracts, credit linked notes, exchange-traded notes, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and TBA securities.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Total Emerging Markets Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Total Emerging Markets Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period November 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The

Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark index and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the performance of the Fund since its inception on November 30, 2011 as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund (“Universe Group”). The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for

the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the second and first quintiles, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the fifth and fourth quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

DECEMBER 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

 

LOGO   

 

“As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio.”

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury

yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junkbonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well- diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

FUND COMMENTARY

FOR THE PERIOD DECEMBER 17, 2012 (FUND INCEPTION DATE) THROUGH OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -11.93%   
Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return      -10.80%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2013    $ 131,257,111   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return.

HOW DID THE COMMODITIES MARKET PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?

The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return (the “Benchmark”) returned -10.80% for the period December 17, 2012 through October 31, 2013 (the “reporting period”). During the reporting period, commodities were broadly impacted by a strengthening U.S. dollar, continued below-trend developed market growth, and moderating growth in emerging markets.

All of the major sectors in the Benchmark were flat or declined during the reporting period. The energy sector was flat during the reporting period, as lower natural gas prices were offset by neutral-to-rising prices in other energy commodities. Rising natural gas prices during the first half of the reporting period were overshadowed by increased supply, which caused prices to drop for the period as a whole. Crude oil prices, which were volatile throughout the period, moved higher given improving fundamental factors. Livestock prices were basically flat as the decline in cattle prices was offset by higher hog prices. Grain prices declined due to high supply and weakening demand. In particular, demand from China moderated and forecasts called for record high South American crop yields. Wheat and corn prices suffered the most, as they were in ample supply.

Soft commodities were mixed during the reporting period. Sugar remained oversupplied and coffee prices continued to fall as supply was higher than expected in Brazil. Cotton was flat on news that it would likely lose acres to soybeans in the 2013 crop year. Cocoa sold off strongly due to much better weather on the neutral El Nino indicator.

In precious metals, gold and silver prices fell sharply during the reporting period. On April 15, 2013, silver and gold fell 11% and 9%, respectively, intra-day, which marked the largest single day sell-off in gold since February 1983. Palladium rallied due to reduced exports from Russia and improving auto demand. Industrial metals sold off as rumors grew of policy tightening in China’s housing sector. Finally, prices for industrial metals were consistently negative during the reporting period. This occurred

as demand growth from emerging market countries weakened, causing an across-the-board decline in prices.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Benchmark for the reporting period. The Fund’s relative underperformance was driven, in part, by its underweight versus the Benchmark in natural gas during the first half of the reporting period, as cold weather caused larger-than-expected withdrawals from natural gas storage, leading to higher prices. In addition, volatility in crude oil prices and the relationship between West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude prices detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s positioning in precious metals also detracted from relative performance overall, as the negative impact from its overweight of silver overshadowed the positive contribution from its underweight in gold. Within the grains market, the positive impact from the Fund’s underweight to corn was more than offset by its underweight to soybeans, as the latter’s prices rallied due to adverse weather conditions. Finally, the Fund’s overweight in the livestock sector contributed to its relative performance as disease and the acquisition of Smithfield Foods by a Chinese entity became structural positive drivers for lean hogs.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested in a wholly-owned subsidiary that invested in commodity-linked derivative instruments and provided exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets without investing directly in physical commodities. The Fund also invested in a portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities, such as U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Agency Discount Notes that generally had a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.

The Fund’s portfolio managers combined top-down research with fundamental and quantitative analysis to establish overweight and underweight positions in commodities. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio managers have the ability to adjust the Fund’s overall exposure to commodities relative to the Benchmark based on their views of macroeconomic conditions.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on December 17, 2012.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in the Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Commodities Strategy Fund, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return and the Lipper Commodities General Funds Average from December 17, 2012 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Lipper Commodities General Funds Average reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the

securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Commodities General Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual Fund, such as investment management fees. The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return is composed of futures contracts on 22 physical commodities. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Commodities General Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of all Mutual Funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper Inc.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Commodities Strategy Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Select Class    Non-diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return.

The Fund commenced operations on December 17, 2012. Currently, Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund are not publicly offered for investment.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R6 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Basis for Consolidation for the Fund

JPM Commodities Strategy Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on September 5, 2012 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as described in the Fund’s prospectus. As of October 31, 2013, net assets of the Fund were $131,257,111 of which $28,069,817, or approximately 21.4%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets. The Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“CSOI”) includes positions of the Fund and the Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Fund and the Subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps (except return swaps on commodities as noted in Note 2.D.) and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

 

 
16       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the CSOI:

(a) Portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually on the CSOI. Level 1 consists of a call option and a money market mutual fund that is held for daily investments of cash and as an investment of cash collateral for swaps. Please refer to the CSOI for industry specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers among any levels during the period ended October 31, 2013.

B. Futures Contracts — The Fund uses commodity futures contracts to obtain long and short exposure to the underlying commodities markets. The purchase of futures contracts will tend to increase the Fund’s exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument. The sales of futures contracts will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (“CSOP”). Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the CSOP at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the CSOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“CSAL”). A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the CSAL.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the CSAL, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges (e.g., NYMEX), boards of trade or other platforms (e.g., Clearport). The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to futures transactions; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. For trades executed on other platforms, these futures contracts must be offset on the same platform in which they were executed; therefore liquidity risk exists to the extent there is a lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s futures contracts activity during the period ended October 31, 2013:

 

Futures Contracts:

        

Average Notional Balance Long

   $ 1,019,110   

Average Notional Balance Short

     1,008,635   

Ending Notional Balance Long

     868,735   

Ending Notional Balance Short

     2,378,934   

C. Options — The Fund purchases and sells (writes) put and call options on various instruments including futures, securities, currencies and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included in the CSAL as an investment. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the security.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s options contracts activity during the period ended October 31, 2013:

     46 (a) 

Ending Number of Contracts Purchased

     46   

 

(a) For the period October 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013.

D. Return Swaps on Commodities and Commodity Indices — The Fund uses return swaps on physical commodities, commodities futures and commodity futures indices to obtain long and short exposure to commodities markets. The value of a swap agreement is recorded at the beginning of the measurement period. Swaps on commodity futures and commodity indices values are based on the values of underlying commodity spot prices or futures contracts, using the last sale or closing price from the principal exchange on which the contract is traded. Under some circumstances, commodity futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a commodity futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions. Change in swap values is recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation — swaps on the CSOP. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon termination of a swap and is based on the difference between the contract price and market price of the underlying instrument or when an offsetting position is entered into. Return swaps on commodity indices are subject to monthly resets. Realized gain or loss is recorded on reset date of the swap and is based on the difference between contract and market price of underlying instrument.

Upon entering into a swap, the Fund may be required to post an initial collateral amount (referred to as “Independent Amount”), as defined in the swap agreement. Independent Amounts are posted to segregated accounts at the Fund’s custodian. The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.G.) and is reported on the CSAL as Investments in affiliates — restricted. Collateral received by the Fund is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, which provides collateral management services to the Fund (See Note 3.G.). These amounts are not reflected on the Fund’s CSAL and are disclosed in the table below.

The Fund’s swap contracts at net value and collateral posted or received by counterparty as of October 31, 2013 is as follows:

 

 

  

 

     Counterparty    Value of
swap
contracts
    Collateral

18       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to an over the counter derivative, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives, including return swaps, also results in a form of leverage and, as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded in the CSAL.

The Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Funds to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparty (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements give the Fund and counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

The Fund’s activities in return swaps are concentrated with two counterparties. Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s swap activity during the period ended October 31, 2013:

E. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of $223,717 incurred in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time it commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees in the CSOP.

F. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

H. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income of the Fund and the Subsidiary are separately calculated. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code and its taxable income, including net gains, is included as ordinary income in the calculation of the Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of the Subsidiary are not deductible by the Fund either in the current period or carried forward to future periods.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated

Undistributed

(Distributions in

Excess of)

Net Investment

Income

      

Accumulated

Net Realized

Gains (Losses)

 
     $ (5,599,739      $ 297,061         $ 5,302,678   

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to investments in the Subsidiary.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and the Subsidiary and for such services is paid a fee. The fee for services to the Fund is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee for services to the Subsidiary is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fees — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund and the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services for the Fund, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the annualized effective rate was 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In consideration for services rendered to the Subsidiary, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Subsidiary.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMCB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor did not retain any front-end sales charge or CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares.

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund and Subsidiary. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund and the Subsidiary for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the CSOP. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the CSOP.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the CSOP.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent total annual operating expenses of the Fund, inclusive of the Subsidiary (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expenses relating 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R6        Select Class  
       1.25        1.75        0.85        1.00

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the period ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

 

       Contractual Waivers           
        Investment

       Administration       

Shareholder

       Total        Contractual

     $ 566,788         $ 57,490         $ 42,564         $ 666,842         $ 85,363   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive and/or reimburse to the Fund in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund to the extent that the total waivers do not exceed the total fees charged by the Adviser, the Administrator or shareholder servicing agent. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

Waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the period ended October 31, 2013 were $13,015.

G. Collateral Management Fees — JPMCB provides derivatives collateral management services for the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB, if any, by the Fund for these services are included in Collateral management fees on the CSOP.

H. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the CSOP.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

4. Investment Transactions

During the period ended October 31, 2013, there were no purchases or sales of long-term investments. Additionally, during the period ended October 31, 2013, there were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013 (continued)

 

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investment securities, including the Subsidiary, held at October 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

        Aggregate
Cost
       Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
       Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation
       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
 
     $ 150,434,119         $ 2,231         $ 8,836,517         $ (8,834,286

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to Subsidiary basis outstanding.

As of October 31, 2013, the components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

       

Current

Distributable

Ordinary

Income

      

Current

Distributable

Long-Term

Capital Gain or

(Tax Basis Capital

Loss Carryover)

      

Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)

 
     $ 3,533         $         $ (3,234,771

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of late year ordinary loss deferrals.

During the period ended October 31, 2013 the Subsidiary had approximately $5.6 million of losses for tax purposes. The Subsidiary’s loss for the current year is not available to offset its future taxable income.

The Federal income tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) includes unrealized depreciation of the Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary of approximately $8.8 million, which, if realized, is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Late year ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund deferred to November 1, 2013 late year ordinary losses of:

 

      Late Year
Ordinary Loss
 
   $ 330,596   

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the period then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the CSOP.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

 
22       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2013


Table of Contents

The J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own in the aggregate more than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows:

 

        J.P. Morgan
Investor Funds
       JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds
 
       54.1        24.3

The Fund’s Class A and Class C Shares are currently held by the Fund’s Adviser.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap contracts.

By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund.

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

Derivatives, including commodity-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures and options on futures, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk and to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets.

The Fund’s investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which updated ASU 2011-11. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the CSAL or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is effective during interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Commodities Strategy Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of portfolio investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Commodities Strategy Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) and its subsidiary (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period December 17, 2012 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information includes the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the Trustees’ review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in

executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the

current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark index and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the performance of the Fund since its inception on December 17, 2012 as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund (“Universe Group”). The Trustees reviewed a description

Table of Contents

of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory

fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the second and third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

December 4, 2013 (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder:

Despite periods of heightened volatility, developed market equities, in aggregate, posted outstanding returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. For much of the period, stocks were supported by solid corporate earnings and robust demand from investors looking to generate higher returns in the low interest rate environment. While it signaled a potential policy shift, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to pursue its highly accommodative policies in an attempt to lower unemployment and spur the economy. Many central banks overseas also maintained accommodative monetary policies aimed at stimulating their economies. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) remained committed to preserving the euro, as it cut rates and introduced new programs designed to aid struggling euro zone members. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan embarked on a major asset purchase program as a new pro-growth government came into power late in 2012.

Positive investor sentiment was interrupted several times during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors including uncertainties regarding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, geopolitical issues, the Fed’s plans to begin “tapering” its asset purchase program, the partial federal government shutdown and the raising of the debt ceiling. Yet, market declines proved to be only temporary setbacks. All told, U.S. stocks rose sharply and achieved record highs on a number of occasions during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. Overseas, developed international stocks also rallied sharply, while emerging market equities generated less robust returns given concerns regarding China’s economy and rising U.S. interest rates.

U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Sharply

Talk of Fed tapering negatively impacted the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasury security yields continued to be low from a historical perspective, but ended the period sharply higher than when the reporting period began. Still, U.S. Treasury yields fell from their reporting period peak in early September 2013 as the Fed chose to delay tapering its asset purchases. The yield for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities ended October 31, 2013 at 2.57%, while the yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished the reporting period at 0.31% and 3.63%, respectively. Amid the rising interest rate environment, the overall U.S. fixed income market generated a negative return for the reporting period. High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), in contrast, posted a solid gain, whereas emerging market debt securities declined.

Maintaining a Long-Term Perspective

While the global economy is far from robust, it is still on a growth path. Despite some recent mixed data, the expansion in the U.S. appears to be sustainable. In addition, Europe has finally emerged from its lengthy recession. Elsewhere, pro-growth initiatives in Japan have thus far yielded positive results. While growth in China has moderated, there have been some encouraging signs of late that its economy can avoid a “hard landing.”

We are encouraged by the stock market’s resiliency despite periods of elevated volatility. In addition, equity market correlations appear to be moderating, which could create a more favorable environment for active managers. Also, given the overall weakness in the bond market, valuations in a number of fixed income sectors have become more attractive.

As the market’s periodic gyrations have demonstrated, it is critically important to maintain a long-term focus for your investment portfolio. Furthermore, having a well-diversified investment portfolio that is allocated among a number of asset classes can potentially lessen the impact of market declines.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Diversified Risk Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The global financial markets experienced periods of volatility during the period from the Fund’s inception on February 12, 2013 through October 31, 2013. This volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including mixed economic data, geopolitical issues, expectations for future central bank monetary policy and, in the U.S., the impact of the sequestration and partial government shutdown. Despite these headwinds, the global equity markets generated strong results given generally robust investor demand. In contrast, the fixed income market was weak overall given rising interest rates amid expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin tapering its asset purchase program.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the period February 12, 2013 through October 31, 2013 (the “reporting period”). The Fund’s portfolio generally consists of common and preferred stocks, convertible bonds, exchange-traded funds, real estate investment trusts, corporate bonds and cash, whereas the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that measures returns of three-month U.S. Treasury bills. Given the market’s general upward trend, the Fund’s portfolio outperformed three-month U.S. Treasury bills during the reporting period. However, the Fund (Select Class Shares) lagged the Diversified Risk Composite Benchmark (the “Composite Benchmark”)† for the reporting period.

The Fund’s positive absolute performance was driven by its equity-based return factors, which were all positive during the reporting period. Traditional equity strategies benefited as the equity markets posted strong gains, partially driven by an improving outlook for global economic growth. The Fund’s alternative equity strategies were also positive, with momentum and value performing particularly well. The merger arbitrage strategy also generated a positive absolute return for the reporting period, as a high proportion of friendly merger deals—takeovers where both companies cooperate in deal negotiations – were beneficial. Elsewhere, the Fund’s allocation to convertible bonds was positive for absolute performance. The convertible bond market generated strong results during the reporting period, in part driven by overall strong investor demand and relatively constrained supply.

On the downside, the Fund’s exposure to fixed income-based return factors, in aggregate, detracted from absolute performance. The largest detractor was the Fund’s allocation to emerging market debt, as the asset class struggled following the announcement by the U.S. Federal Reserve that it may begin tapering its asset purchase program sooner than previously anticipated. Finally, the Fund’s foreign exchange strategies were negative for its absolute performance. May 2013, in particular, saw dislocation in currency markets as currencies became vulnerable to corrections following rising yields.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to achieve its investment objective by using a risk-parity approach to portfolio construction. However, rather than allocating across traditional asset classes, the managers have identified a set of market-driven investment return sources (return factors) that have a low correlation to each other and unique risk and return profiles. By employing a return factor-based allocation approach, whereby the managers seek to equally risk-weight the return factors within the portfolio, the managers believe they can construct a portfolio to better “diversify the risk” to which the Fund is exposed, while also providing enhanced risk-adjusted returns relative to a conventional asset allocation strategy. The managers sought to capture market-driven investment opportunities by using a proprietary investment model to allocate assets to alternative and traditional investment strategies in order to gain exposure to selected return factors.

 

The Diversified Risk Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark of unmanaged indexes that correspond to the Fund’s expected volatility profile and consists of the JPMorgan Global Government Bond Index hedged to US dollars (70%) and the MSCI World Index hedged to US dollars (net of foreign withholding taxes) (30%).

** The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s objective. There can be no guarantee it will be achieved.
*** Risk allocations are calculated as the standard deviation (volatility of an asset class) divided by the overall volatility of the Fund. Risk, as measured by standard deviation, shows how widely a set of values varies from the mean. It is a historical measure of the volatility of returns earned by the Fund. The percentages above represent the current risk allocation based on the Fund’s holdings as of 10/31/13 and are not representative of the targeted equal risk allocation across asset classes over the long-term. Holdings and allocations may vary over time.
1 Equity Market Neutral strategies involve simultaneous investing in equities (i.e. investing long) that the Adviser expects to increase in value and selling equities (i.e. selling short) that the Adviser expects to decrease in value.
2 Event Driven strategies seek to profit from investing in securities of companies on the basis that a specific event or catalyst will affect future pricing.
3 Relative Value Fixed Income and Credit strategies seek to profit from exploiting mispricing of various fixed income or interest rate sensitive securities or developed and emerging market currencies which may be driven by market or macroeconomic factors.
(a) Percentages indicated are based upon total investments plus the current value of the total net long and short positions within each Portfolio Swap as of October 31, 2013. The Fund’s portfolio composition is subject to change.
(b) The Fund has entered into Portfolio Swaps, which provide exposure equivalent to a portfolio of long and short securities. The percentages calculated in the tables above include the current values of the long or short positions within each Portfolio Swap as of October 31, 2013, as applicable.

JPMorgan Diversified Risk Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund commenced operations on February 12, 2013.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Diversified Risk Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Diversified Risk Composite Benchmark from February 12, 2013 to October 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Diversified Risk Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. The Diversified Risk Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark of unmanaged indexes that correspond to the Fund’s expected volatility profile and consists of the JPMorgan Global Government Bond Index hedged to US dollars (70%) and the MSCI World Index hedged to US dollars (net of foreign withholding taxes) (30%). The JPMorgan Global Government Bond Index hedged to US dollars is an unmanaged index representative of the total return performance in U.S. dollars on a hedged basis of major world bond markets. The MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Since the Fund’s inception, it has not experienced any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

    

Classes Offered

  

Diversified/Non-Diversified

Diversified Risk Fund

   Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide total return.

The Fund commenced operations on February 12, 2013. Currently, the Fund is not publicly offered for investment.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R6 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Basis for Consolidation for the Fund

JPM Diversified Risk Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on October 11, 2012 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as described in the Fund’s prospectus. As of October 31, 2013, net assets of the Fund were $10,420,900 of which $493,856, or approximately 4.7%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets. The Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“CSOI”) includes positions of the Fund and the Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Fund and the Subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Equity securities, including investments in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on prices received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or third party broker-dealers. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each investment company’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) as of the report date.

Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such pricing services or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty.

Table of Contents

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed to not represent the fair value of the security or asset at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s securities. JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”, or “JPMFM”, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management groups and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board of Trustees’ Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

The VC or Board of Trustees, as applicable, primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The VC or Board of Trustees may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its net asset values.

It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact Fair Values and for discussing and assessing Fair Values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board of Trustees, as applicable. The appropriateness of Fair Values is assessed based on results of unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events, back testing and broker and vendor due diligence.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

B. Derivatives — The Fund uses instruments including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, in connection with its investment strategy. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Fund. The Fund also uses derivatives to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed its value, as recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“CSAL”).

 

35


Table of Contents

The Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparty (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements gives the Fund and counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark-to-market gains to the Fund.

Notes B(1) — B(4) below describe the various derivatives used by the Fund.

(1). Futures Contracts — The Fund uses index, equity or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to seek to enhance portfolio performance. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to interest rate risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (“CSOP”). Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the CSOP at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the CSOI and cash deposited is recorded on the CSAL. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the CSAL.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the CSAL, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

(2). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Fund also buys forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(3). Return Swap on Commodity Index — The Fund uses return swaps on commodity futures indices to obtain long and short exposure to commodities markets. The value of a swap agreement is recorded at the beginning of the measurement period. Swap values are based on the values of underlying futures contracts, using the last sale or closing price from the principal exchange on which the contract is traded. Under some circumstances, commodity futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a commodity futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions. Change in swap values is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation — swaps on the CSOP. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon termination of a swap and is based on the difference between the contract price and market price of the underlying instrument or when an offsetting position is entered into. Return swaps on commodity indices are subject to quarterly resets. Realized gain or loss is recorded on reset date of the swap and is based on the difference between contract and market price of the underlying instrument.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.F.) and is reported on the CSAL

 

36


Table of Contents

as Investments in affiliates — restricted. Collateral received by the Fund is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, which provides collateral management services to the Fund. These amounts are not reflected on the Fund’s CSAL. Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. As such, the Fund has not posted or received collateral for the period ended October 31, 2013.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to an over the counter derivative, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives, including return swaps, also results in a form of leverage and, as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded in the CSAL.

The Fund’s activities in return swaps are concentrated with a single counterparty. Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent the counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

(4). Portfolio Swaps — The Fund entered into portfolio swap agreements to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities. This is a highly specialized activity and a significant aspect of the Fund’s investment strategy.

Under the terms of the agreements, each swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity positions. This means that the Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within each swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in each swap value. Each swap value also includes interest charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within each swap. These interest charges and credits are based on defined market rates based on the local currencies of the positions in the portfolio plus or minus a specified spread and are referred to herein as “financing costs”. Positions within each swap and financing costs are reset monthly. During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing costs become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the swap counterparty. Cash settlement in and out of each swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on internal limits and thresholds established at both the Fund and counterparty.

Each swap involves additional risks than if the Fund had invested in the underlying positions directly including: the risk that changes in the value of each swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying long and short securities; counterparty risk related to the counterparty’s failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for each swap contract, which may limit the ability of the Fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. The portfolio swaps consist of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities. The Fund’s activities in each portfolio swap is concentrated with a single counterparty. Investing in swaps results in a form of leverage (i.e., the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded on the CSAL).

The value of each swap is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing prices on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable. The value of each swap is reflected on the CSAL as Outstanding swap contracts, at value. Changes in the value of each swap are recognized as changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the CSOP.

Cash settlements between the Fund and counterparty are recognized as realized gains or losses in the CSOP.

C. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the CSOP.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

D. Offering and Organizational Costs — Total offering costs of $37,833 incurred in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time it commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees in the CSOP.

E. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

Table of Contents

F. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

G. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions and has determined that as of October 31, 2013, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income of the Fund and the Subsidiary are separately calculated. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code and its taxable income, including net gains, is included as ordinary income in the calculation of the Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of the Subsidiary are not deductible by the Fund either in the current period or carried forward to future periods.

H. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

I. Distributions to Shareholders —Distributions from net investment income or net realized capital gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition—“temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

           Accumulated         
           undistributed         
           (distributions in         
           excess of)      Accumulated  
           net investment      net realized  
     Paid-in-Capital     income      gains (losses)  
   $ (148,971   $ 452,347       $ (303,376

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses, investments in swaps and the Subsidiary taxable income.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and the Subsidiary and for such services is paid a fee. The fee for services to the Fund is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Subsidiary has entered into separate contracts with the Adviser and its affiliates to provide investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. The fee for services to the Subsidiary is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed to waive the advisory fee that it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the advisory fee paid to the Adviser by the Subsidiary. This waiver will continue in effect so long as the Fund invests in the Subsidiary and may not be terminated without approval by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fees — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund and the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services for the Fund, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the effective rate was 0.09% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In consideration for services rendered to the Subsidiary, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Subsidiary.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Distributor did not retain front-end sales charges or CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares.

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the CSOP. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately in the CSOP.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included in Interest income from affiliates in the CSOP.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the CSOP.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent total annual operating expenses of the Fund, inclusive of the Subsidiary (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

Class A     Class C     Class R6     Select Class  
  1.30     1.80     0.95     1.05

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the period ended October 31, 2013. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2014.

For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund to the extent that the total waivers do not exceed the total fees charged by the Advisor, the Administrator or shareholder servicing agent. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

There were no waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the period ended October 31, 2013.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the CSOP.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund incurred $27 of brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

4. Investment Transactions

During the period ended October 31, 2013, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

 

Purchases
(excluding  U.S.
Government)
     Sales
(excluding  U.S.
Government)
 
$ 10,289,321       $ 6,527,165   

During the period ended October 31, 2013, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investment securities, including the Subsidiary, held at October 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

Aggregate
Cost
    Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
    Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation
    Net
Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
 
$ 9,868,222      $ 102,298      $ 234,064      $ (131,766

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to investments in contingent preferred debt instruments and investments in the Subsidiary.

There were no distributions paid during the period ended October 31, 2013.

 

43


Table of Contents

As of October 31, 2013, the components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

          Current    
          Distributable    
    Current     Long-Term    
    Distributable     Capital Gain or   Unrealized
    Ordinary     (Tax Basis Capital   Appreciation
    Income    

Loss Carryover)

 

(Depreciation)

    $636,929      $(62,155)   $(4,889)

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts, mark to market of future contracts and investments in swaps.

The Federal income tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) includes unrealized depreciation of the Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary of $168,146, which, if realized, is not deductible for income tax purposes.

During the period ended October 31, 2013 the Subsidiary had $149,815 of losses for tax purposes. The Subsidiary’s loss for the current year is not available to offset its future taxable income.

As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had post-enactment short-term net capital loss carryforwards of $32,102 and long-term net capital loss carryforwards of $30,053.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 10, 2014.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2013, or at any time during the period then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the CSOP.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund’s shares are currently held by the Adviser.

By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund.

The Fund will employ various alternative investment strategies that involve the use of complicated investment techniques. There is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed and their use may subject the Fund to greater volatility and loss.

Table of Contents

The Fund may also invest in unaffiliated ETFs. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount).

Derivatives, including commodity-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures and options on futures, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk and to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets.

The Fund’s investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap and option contracts, credit linked notes, exchange-traded notes and forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Diversified Risk Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of portfolio investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Diversified Risk Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) and its subsidiary (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period February 12, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2013, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2013, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 22, 2013.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Adviser on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Table of Contents

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. The Board also reviewed the adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the adviser.

Table of Contents

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall level of non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Adviser, and that the Fund benefits from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Adviser’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark index and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. The performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the performance of the Fund since its inception on February 12, 2013 as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund (“Universe Group”). The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

Table of Contents

The Trustees noted that the Diversified Risk Fund’s estimated net advisory fees and total expenses, which were considered on a class-by-class basis, were in line with identified peer funds. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

2013 – Not applicable

(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.


Table of Contents

All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.

(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

2013 – 0.0%

2012 – 0.0%

(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

None.

(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:

2012 – $32.8 million

2011 – $34.5 million

These amounts also include the aggregate non audit fees billed by the Independent Registered Public Accounting firm for services rendered to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (“JPMC”) and certain related entities.

(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

(a) If the registrant is a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3), state whether or not the registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). If the registrant has such a committee, however designated, identify each committee member. If the entire board of directors is acting as the registrant’s audit committee as specified in Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(B)), so state.

(b) If applicable, provide the disclosure required by Rule 10A-3(d) under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3(d)) regarding an exemption from the listing standards for all audit committees.
