Portfolio Turnover

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]

rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

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 55% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading]

rr_StrategyHeading

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund’s assets are invested primarily in equity securities of companies from developed countries other than the United States. The Fund’s assets may also be invested to a limited extent in emerging markets issuers. Developed countries include Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and most of the countries of Western Europe and Hong Kong; emerging markets include most other countries in the world.

The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities, trust or partnership interests, depositary receipts, privately placed securities and warrants and rights.

The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars, other major reserve currencies, such as the euro, yen and pound sterling, and currencies of other countries in which it can invest.

The Fund will invest substantially in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may seek to manage currency risk where appropriate through managing currency exposure.

The Fund may utilize currency forwards to reduce currency deviations, where practical, for the purpose of risk management. The Fund may also use exchange-traded futures for the efficient management of cash flows.

Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a three-step process that combines research, valuation and securities selection.

The adviser selects securities for the Fund’s portfolio using its own investment process to determine which companies it believes are most likely to provide high total return to shareholders. The adviser chooses what it believes to be the most attractive securities in each sector and builds the portfolio bottom up. Securities in each industry are ranked with the help of fundamental valuations, then selected for investment. The adviser may adjust currency exposure to manage risks and enhance returns.

Through its extensive global equity research and analytical systems, the adviser seeks to generate an information advantage. Using fundamental analysis, the adviser develops proprietary research, primarily on companies but also on countries and currencies. In these processes, the analysts focus on a relatively long period rather than on near-term expectations alone.

Fundamental security stock research is used to produce a ranking of companies in each industry group according to their relative value. The Fund’s adviser then buys and sells securities, using the research and valuation rankings as well as its assessment of other factors, including:

catalysts that could trigger a change in a security’s price;

potential reward compared to potential risk; and

temporary mispricings caused by market overreactions.

The Fund may invest a substantial part of its assets in just one region or country.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

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.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund 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 Market Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, 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,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery 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 “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers.

Smaller Cap Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier and more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including forward currency contracts and 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 (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

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

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

The Fund’s Past Performance

Performance Narrative [Text Block]

rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R6 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares that performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance for Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares prior to the inception of the Class R6 Shares. The returns of the Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Institutional Class Shares have different expenses than Class R6 Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
