What is the goal of the Fund?

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

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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

“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund)” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund) is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying Fund) are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/15 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2050 Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (unaffiliated ETFs) (collectively with the J.P. Morgan Funds, the underlying funds) and are generally intended for investors expecting to retire around the year 2050 (the target retirement year). “Blend” in the Fund’s name means that the Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) uses underlying funds and strategies that attempt to replicate performance of various indexes as well as actively-managed underlying funds and strategies.

The Fund is designed to provide exposure to a variety of asset classes through investments in underlying funds, and over time the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change. The “glide path” depicted in the chart below shows how the Fund’s strategic target allocations among asset classes and types of under-

lying funds generally become more conservative as it nears the target retirement year (i.e., more emphasis on fixed income funds and less on equity funds). The table accompanying the chart is simply the glide path in tabular form.

The glide path shows the Fund’s long term strategic target allocations as of the date of this prospectus. The Fund’s actual allocations may differ due to changes to these strategic target allocations or due to tactical allocations. In establishing the Fund’s strategic target allocations, the Adviser focuses on asset classes and underlying funds that the Adviser believes will outperform the Fund’s benchmarks and peer group over the long term. The Adviser will use tactical allocations to take advantage of short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of positions in underlying funds and direct investments, including derivatives.

In allocating the Fund’s assets between actively-managed underlying funds and underlying funds which are designed to replicate an index (index funds), the Adviser generally uses index funds for asset classes that are widely regarded as operating in efficient markets. The Adviser will review the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path at least annually (generally, in the first quarter of each calendar year), and may adjust the targets in its discretion, consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy. These changes might include modifying the existing strategic target allocations among the asset and sub-asset classes or, among other things, adding or removing asset and sub-asset classes or maintaining long-term strategic target allocations for longer or shorter periods of time. Consistent with this strategy, the Fund’s strategic target allocations shown in the glide path and table above may be different from the Fund’s actual strategic target allocations by +/-5% for the equity, fixed income, money market/cash and cash equivalents and commodity asset and sub-asset classes. Additionally, as a result of short to intermediate term tactical allocations, the Fund may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time by up to +/- 15% for equity and fixed income, +/- 20% for money market/cash and cash equivalents and +/- 5% for commodity asset and sub-asset classes. The Adviser will review its tactical decisions on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion.

As a result of the Adviser’s ability to make these modifications, the Fund’s actual allocations may differ from what is shown in the glide path and table above. Updated information concerning the Fund’s strategic target allocations and actual allocations to underlying funds and investments is available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

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

In addition to investing in underlying funds, the Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments among, various

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

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

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

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

 

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

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

Investment Company and ETF Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated ETFs as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from certain of the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest. Certain ETFs and other underlying funds may not be actively managed. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by such funds when an actively managed fund would not do so. ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount).

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

Index Strategy Risk. The Fund uses index funds and other strategies that are not actively managed and are designed to track the performance and holdings of a specified index. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by an index fund or as part of an indexing strategy at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. There is also the risk that the underlying fund’s or strategy’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.

Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value such securities goes down, the Fund’s investment decreases in value.

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

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” an underlying fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties.

Income Securities Risk. Investments in income securities that will change in value based on changes in interest rates and are subject to the risk that an issuer or a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default. If an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer or counterparty may deteriorate making it difficult for the underlying fund to sell such investments. If rates rise, the value of these investments drops. Certain underlying funds invest in variable and floating rate loan assignments and participations (Loans) and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, an underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may: decline in value, face valuation difficulties, be more volatile and/or be illiquid. The risk of default for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of principal and interest. This would result in losses to an underlying fund. Securities issued by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. Certain underlying funds may be exposed to investments in securities including junk bonds,

 

 

4


loan assignments and participations (Loans) and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity. Such investments are subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, and lack of publicly available information. An underlying fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation. High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid.

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

Smaller Companies Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies which may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies.

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

the Fund or the underlying fund do not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund and the underlying funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund and underlying funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

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

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

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

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

 

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.
