CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

Overall, U.S. equities provided slim returns for the second half of 2015, while equity markets in other developed markets posted negative returns and emerging market equities posted double-digit losses. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24, 2015. However, U.S. and other equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%, while the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index returned -5.92% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -17.18%.

Generally, bond markets had a weak performance during the second half of 2015 as interest rates remained low globally. However, increased volatility in financial markets pushed investors toward lower risk securities in developed market sovereign debt and away from lower-rated bonds. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned 0.65%, the Barclays High Yield Index returned -6.82% and the Barclays Emerging Market Index returned -1.34% for the second half of 2015.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      (3.57)%   
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index      0.65%   
MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      (3.41)%   
Access Balanced Composite Benchmark      (2.85)%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015    $ 830,637,548   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Access Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return.

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

As the Fund invests in fixed income and equity securities, its performance is compared to broad-based fixed income and equity benchmarks, as well as a blended composite benchmark. The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, its broad based fixed income benchmark, and the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), its broad based equity benchmark, for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

The Fund’s investments in emerging market equity and its underweight position in core fixed income led to underperformance relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Fund’s overweight position in emerging market equities, which underperformed U.S. and other developed market equities, led to underperformance versus the MSCI World Index.

The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark, which consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (50%), Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (35%), Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (5%), Bloomberg Commodity Index (5%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%).

The Fund’s underweight allocation to fixed income was a leading detractor from performance relative to the composite benchmark, particularly the Fund’s underweight position in core fixed income. The Fund’s overweight position in emerging markets and its security selection in equities in Europe, Australasia and the Far East also detracted from performance relative to the composite benchmark.

The Fund’s security selection in alternative strategies and its underweight position in commodities were leading positive contributors to performance relative to the composite benchmark.

To implement these tactical asset allocation decisions, the Fund invested in J.P. Morgan Funds, as well as third party investment companies (which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), structured products and exchange traded funds. Among the actively managed underlying strategies, excess return was mixed during the reporting period. The Fund’s allocations to the International Equity strategy and the Emerging Market Equity strategy delivered negative returns, while its allocation to the Liquid Alternatives strategy provided positive returns.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund is a multi-asset class portfolio that focuses on both traditional and liquid alternative investments across the global marketplace. The portfolio management team managed the Fund using a tactical approach to asset allocation across global markets, seeking opportunities in sectors and regions based on valuations and the potential for longer-term growth. The Fund invested its assets in a combination of domestic and international equity, fixed income and liquid alternative assets.

In terms of Fund positioning, the Fund’s portfolio managers continued to favor an overweight to equities, especially U.S. equities. Within equities, they were focused on being tactical and continued to monitor economic data, sentiment, current account deficits, and flows across geographies recognizing that regional allocations may be an important driver of returns. Within emerging markets, the Fund’s managers tilted toward more mature markets in Asia, through passive investment vehicles and active managers whom they believe are poised to capitalize on market opportunities.

Within fixed income, the Fund’s portfolio managers favored an underweight to core bonds, given their opinion that U.S. interest rates would gradually move higher. This underweight position is balanced by an overweight to high yield debt (also known as junk bonds), which offers a yield cushion.

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 September 30, 2009.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in the Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Access Balanced Fund, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the S&P 500 Index and the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark from September 30, 2009 to December 31, 2015. 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. Aggregate Index and the Access Balanced 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 MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) 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 rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit

from double taxation treaties. 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 gains of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. 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 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. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Access Balanced Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that correspond to the Fund’s model allocation and consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (50%), Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (35%), Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (5%), Bloomberg Commodity Index (5%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%). 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Access Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation.

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

As the Fund invests in fixed income and equity securities, its performance is compared to broad-based fixed income and equity benchmarks, as well as a blended composite benchmark. The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), its broad based equity benchmark, and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, its broad based fixed income benchmark, and for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

The Fund’s underperformance versus the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index was due to the Fund’s investments in emerging market equity, which underperformed most other asset classes during the reporting period, and the Fund’s underweight position in core fixed income. The underperformance versus the MSCI World Index was due to its overweight positions in emerging market equities and its allocation to fixed income securities, which lagged behind the MSCI World Index.

The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark, which consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (70%), Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (15%), Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (5%), Bloomberg Commodity Index (5%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%).

The Fund’s fixed income positioning, particularly its underweight position in core fixed income securities, and its overweight position in emerging market equity were leading detractors from performance relative to the composite benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in alternative investment

strategies and its underweight position in commodities were leading contributors to relative performance.

To implement these tactical asset allocation decisions, the Fund invested in J.P. Morgan Funds, as well as third party investment companies (which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), structured products and exchange traded funds. Among the actively managed underlying strategies, excess return was mixed during the reporting period. The International Equity strategy and the Emerging Market Equity strategy came under pressure, while the Liquid Alternatives strategy provided positive returns.

The portfolio management team managed the Fund using a tactical approach to asset allocation across global markets, seeking opportunities in sectors and regions based on valuations and the potential for longer-term growth. The Fund invested its assets in a combination of domestic and international equity, fixed income and liquid alternative assets.

In terms of Fund positioning, the Fund’s portfolio managers continued to favor an overweight to equities, especially U.S. large cap equities and equities of developed markets outside the U.S.

Within equities, they were focused on being tactical and continued to monitor economic data, sentiment, current account deficits, and flows across geographies recognizing that regional allocations may be an important driver of returns. Within fixed income, the Fund’s portfolio managers have favored an underweight to core bonds, given their opinion that U.S. interest rates would gradually move higher.

The performance of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) 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 rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from

double taxation treaties. 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 gains of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. 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 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. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Access Growth Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that correspond to the Fund’s model allocation and consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (70%), Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (15%), Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (5%), Bloomberg Commodity Index (5%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%). 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

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
Access Balanced Fund    Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class       Diversified
Access Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class       Diversified

The investment objective of the Access Balanced Fund is to seek total return.

The investment objective of the Access Growth Fund is to seek capital appreciation.

All share classes are publicly offered on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Share Classes’ prospectuses.

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 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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.

Basis for Consolidation for the Funds

Access Balanced Fund CS Ltd. and Access Growth Fund CS Ltd. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), each a Cayman Islands exempted company, were incorporated on March 11, 2013 and are currently each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Access Balanced Fund and Access Growth Fund, respectively. The Subsidiaries act as investment vehicles for each Fund to effect certain investments consistent with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies as described in each Fund’s prospectus. As of December 31, 2015, net assets of the Access Balanced Fund were $830,637,548 of which $76,571, or approximately less than 0.1%, represented its Subsidiary’s net assets. Net realized loss in the Subsidiary amounted to $8,650,266. As of December 31, 2015, net assets of the Access Growth Fund were $759,553,361 of which $72,488, or approximately less than 0.1%, represented its Subsidiary’s net assets. Net realized loss in the Subsidiary amounted to $6,936,862. The Consolidated Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“CSOIs”) include positions of each Fund and its Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each Fund and its Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Funds within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Funds and their Subsidiaries. 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 Funds in the preparation of their consolidated financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include 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. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations

 

 
32       JPMORGAN ACCESS FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

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.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments shall be valued by applying an international fair value factor provided by an approved Pricing Service. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated. Investments in open-end investment companies, including J.P Morgan Funds, excluding exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

See Note 2.C. for further details on structured notes.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The following tables represent each valuation input by sector as presented on the CSOIs:

There were no significant transfers among any levels for the period ended December 31, 2015.

Transfers between fair values are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the period.

B. Structured Notes — The Funds invest in structured notes, whose values may be linked to the performance of underlying stock market indices, foreign currencies or other financial instruments. Structured notes are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. Structured notes are valued daily, under procedures approved by the Board, based upon values provided by an approved pricing service for the note. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying instrument, and various other market and economic factors. Changes in the value of structured notes are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (“CSOPs”). The Funds record a realized gain or loss when a structured note is sold or matures.

Investments in structured notes entail varying degrees of risk. While some structured notes offer full or partial principal protection, others can subject the Funds to a loss of their full principal investment amount. The Funds may also be exposed to additional risks associated with structured notes including: counterparty credit risk related to an issuer’s ability to make payment at maturity; a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risks associated with the underlying financial instruments; liquidity risk related to a lack of a liquid market for these notes, preventing the Funds from trading or selling the notes easily.

Certain notes held by the Funds include automatic call provisions, which allow an issuer the right to redeem the note prior to maturity. The Funds also hold notes that are subject to a stated maximum return, which may limit the payment amount at maturity, regardless of the performance of the underlying financial instrument. Structured notes may also yield a return, positive or negative, at a multiple of the underlying financial instruments. The Funds’ risk of loss associated with these structured notes is limited to the principal investment amount.

C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invest in certain Underlying Funds which are advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”) or their affiliates pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be

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.

The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the CSOPs.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, 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 Funds’ books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported

 

 
DECEMBER 31, 2015   JPMORGAN ACCESS FUNDS         35   


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the CSOPs. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the CSOPs.

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. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

        Class A        Class C        Institutional Class        Select Class        Total  

Access Balanced Fund

                        

Transfer agent fees

     $ 256         $ 247         $ 2,732         $ 2,703         $ 5,938   

Sub-transfer agent fees

       75           718           298           101           1,192   

Access Growth Fund

                        

Transfer agent fees

       372           262           5,718           1,927           8,279   

Sub-transfer agent fees

       107           441           386           194           1,128   

The Funds invest in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the CSOPs and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

G. 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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income of each Fund and its Subsidiary are separately calculated. Each 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 respective Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of each Subsidiary are not deductible by the respective Fund either in the current period or carried forward to future periods.

H. 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.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least 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 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, each Fund’s assets are allocated to sub-advisers and the Adviser is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the overall management of the Funds and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.80% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser and J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), sub-adviser to the Funds and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, have agreed to contractually waive the investment advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee, respectively, for each Fund by 0.25% through March 1, 2016.

The Subsidiaries have entered into separate contracts with the Adviser and its affiliates to provide investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiaries. The fee for services to the Subsidiaries is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.80% of each Subsidiary’s respective

 

 
36       JPMORGAN ACCESS FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed to waive the advisory fees that it receives from each Fund in an amount equal to the advisory fees paid to the Adviser by the Subsidiaries. This waiver will continue in effect so long as each Fund invests in its Subsidiaries and may not be terminated without approval by the Funds’ Board.

JPMPI, Capital Guardian Trust Company — Personal Investment Management Division (“Capital Guardian”), TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC (“TimesSquare”) and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) are sub-advisers for the Funds. Each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day investment decisions of its portion of the Funds. The allocation of the assets of each Fund is determined by the Adviser, subject to review of the Board. The Adviser monitors and evaluates the sub-advisers to help assure that they are managing the Funds in a manner consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and restrictions and applicable laws and guidelines

Under the terms of the Sub-advisory Agreements for each Fund, the Adviser pays JPMPI a monthly sub-advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the portion of each Fund’s average daily net assets managed by JPMPI.

At December 31, 2015, the allocation of assets for each Fund was as follows:

 

        Access
Balanced Fund
       Access
Growth Fund
 

JPMPI

       89.0        85.5

Capital Guardian

       4.2           5.2   

TimesSquare

       2.6           4.1   

T. Rowe Price

       4.2           5.2   

The Funds and the Adviser have obtained an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Adviser is permitted, subject to the supervision and approval of the Funds’ Trustees, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with non-affiliated sub-advisers without such agreements being approved by the shareholders of the Funds. As such, the Funds and Adviser may hire, terminate, or replace non-affiliated sub-advisers without shareholder approval, including, without limitation, the replacement or reinstatement of any sub-advisers with respect to which a sub-advisory agreement has automatically terminated as a result of an assignment. Shareholders will be notified of any changes in sub-advisers.

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, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, provides certain administration services to the Funds and its Subsidiaries. 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the effective rate was 0.09% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In consideration for services rendered to the Subsidiaries, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Subsidiaries.

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 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  
     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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following amounts:

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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        Institutional Class        Select Class  

Access Balanced Fund

       0.25        0.25        0.10        0.25

Access Growth Fund

       0.25           0.25           0.10           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. For these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the CSOPs. 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 on the CSOPs.

Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the CSOPs.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the CSOPs.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Fund, inclusive of the Subsidiary (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Access Balanced Fund

       1.55        2.05        1.15        1.30

Access Growth Fund

       1.55           2.05           1.15           1.30   

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and are in place until at least October 31, 2016.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate investment advisory and shareholder servicing fees. To avoid charging an investment advisory fee and a shareholder servicing fee at an effective rate above 0.80% for investment advisory and 0.25% for shareholder servicing on affiliated investments for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares and 0.10% for shareholder servicing on affiliated investments for Institutional Class Shares, the Adviser and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive investment advisory and shareholder servicing fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of affiliated investment advisory fees not to exceed 0.55% during the period and affiliated shareholder servicing fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. These contractual waivers are in place until at least March 1, 2016. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Funds’ contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Funds’ shareholder servicing fees.

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, may waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Funds’ 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 six months ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

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.

 

 
38       JPMORGAN ACCESS FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

The Board 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 on the CSOPs.

Under the terms of a Service Agreement, JPMIM and its affiliates perform various non-advisory services on behalf of JPMPI in support of JPMPI’s management of the Funds. JPMPI pays JPMIM a fee for these services.

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Funds 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 Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Access Balanced Fund and Access Growth Fund incurred $4,331 and $6,740, respectively in brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The 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 SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to invest in certain instruments in addition to Underlying Funds and securities.

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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the period then ended.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

As of December 31, 2015, an affiliate of the Adviser had investment discretion with respect to its clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively owned shares representing the following percentage of each Fund’s net assets:

 

Access Balanced Fund

     97.6

Access Growth Fund

     96.1   

By investing in a subsidiary, each Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with its Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiaries are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by each Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Funds.

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ 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 market securities, commodities; and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

The Fund invests 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 or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures contracts, 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.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

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, 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) 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, July 1, 2015 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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), redemption fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement with JPMIM and the sub-advisory agreements with JPMPI, Capital Guardian Trust Company, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., and TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC for each of the Funds whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their

consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser or sub-advisers were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds over the course of the year. 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 and by the sub-advisers from the Adviser under the applicable Advisory Agreements was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements 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 and sub-advisers’ senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser and sub-advisers. 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-advisers’ risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser and JPMPI.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and sub-advisers 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

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

affiliates and sub-advisers, the commitment of the Adviser and sub-advisers to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ integrity and the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund. In addition, the Trustees considered the different roles and responsibilities performed by the Adviser and sub-advisers under the applicable Advisory Agreements, including the Adviser’s monitoring and evaluating of the sub-advisers to help ensure that the sub-advisers are managing the Funds consistently with their investment objectives and restrictions.

Based upon 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 sub-advisers.

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 sub-advisers and/or their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with each Fund’s investments in the underlying J.P. Morgan Funds in which each Fund invests. The Trustees 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 and/or sub-advisers.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser and certain sub-advisers, 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/or sub-advisers. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s 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.

Table of Contents

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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 Access Balanced Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 JPMPI and, based upon this discussion, the Adviser’s, JPMPI’s and/or consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable. The Trustees

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.

The Trustees noted that the Access Growth Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 JPMPI and, based upon this discussion, the Adviser’s, JPMPI’s and/or consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable. The Trustees 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.

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 also noted that the Adviser reduced each Fund’s contractual advisory fee from 1.00% to 0.80% and the Adviser, JPMPI, JPMDS and/or JPMFM reduced Fee Caps effective February 23, 2015. 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 Access Balanced 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 fifth and fourth quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, including the reduction in advisory fee from 1.00% to 0.80% and additional fee waivers and/or expenses reimbursements effective February 23, 2015, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory

fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser and by the Adviser to the sub-advisers was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Access Growth Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the second and third quintiles, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the fifth and fourth quintiles, of the Universe Group, respectively. After considering the factors

identified above, in light of this information, including the reduction in advisory fee from 1.00% to 0.80% and additional fee waivers and/or expenses reimbursements effective February 23, 2015, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser and by the Adviser to the sub-advisers was reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equities financial markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24, 2015, dragging down the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) by 3.9% for the day.

However, U.S. equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The S&P 500 turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011.

In general, the U.S. equities market for the six month reporting period was marked by large gains in a few select stocks, especially technology sector stocks, while most other stocks ended the period lower or essentially flat. The energy, materials and industrials sectors underperformed the broader market, while the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care sectors outperformed the broader market. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%.

Intrepid Investment Philosophy and Process

The JPMorgan Behavioral Finance Team employs a philosophy that is rooted in behavioral finance, a field of study that emphasizes the importance of human psychology in financial markets. Behavioral finance examines how investor behavior can be affected by emotional biases and reactions. The field theorizes that inefficiencies arise in the stock market because investors are consistently irrational in making many investment decisions.

The Team aims to capitalize on these market inefficiencies by targeting attractively valued stocks of companies that it believes have positive momentum characteristics, and looks to sell these stocks when they no longer exhibit these criteria. A disciplined quantitative ranking methodology is utilized to identify attractive stocks in each sector, a process that is combined with qualitative research and value-added trading.

During the reporting period, the Funds were managed and positioned in accordance with this investment philosophy and process.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -0.99%   
Russell 3000 Index      -1.43%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)      $20,935   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares outperformed the Russell 3000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and energy sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Microsoft Corp., Northrop Corp. and Tyson Foods Inc. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and services, rose on growth in its Azure cloud computing platform as investors sought large cap stocks amid market volatility. Shares of Northrop, an aerospace and electronics company, rose on strong growth in earnings and dividends. Shares of Tyson Foods, a meat processing company, rose amid industry consolidation and better-than-expected sales.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Amazon.com Inc. and its overweight positions in Apple Inc. and Devon Energy Corp. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer not held in the Fund, rose on continued expansion of its business and an increase in 2015 online holiday season sales. Shares of Apple, a maker of computers and mobile devices, fell on weakness in iPhone sales and analysts’ expectation for declining revenue and earnings. Shares of Devon Energy, an oil and natural gas producer, fell amid continued weakness in global energy prices.

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 graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid Advantage Fund, the Russell 3000 Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 3000 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 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 Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which

represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Lipper Multi-Cap Core 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.

Effective April 10, 2006, the Fund changed its investment policies. Although past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future, in view of these changes, the Fund’s performance record prior to this date might be less relevant for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund.

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 Intrepid America Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and energy sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its underweight positions in Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. and its overweight position in Archer Daniels Midland Co. Shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google and its subsidiaries and affiliates, rose on continued growth in Google advertising revenue and investors’ desire for defensive large cap stocks amid market volatility. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer not held in the Fund, rose on continued expansion of its business and an increase in 2015 online holiday season sales. Shares of Archer Daniels, an agricultural products processor, fell sharply on continued weakness in global commodities prices.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in Northrop Corp., Activision Blizzard Inc. and Kroger Co. Shares of Northrop, an aerospace and electronics company, rose on strong prospects for growth. Shares of Activision, a developer of video games not held in the Benchmark, rose on strong product sales and investor expectations of earnings growth. Shares of Kroger, a supermarket chain, rose on increased consumer spending in the U.S. and an increase in its dividend and a share repurchase program.

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

Shares of Activision, a developer of video games not held in the Benchmark, rose on strong product sales and investor expectations of 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 R5 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Select Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Select Class Shares.

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

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares from May 15, 2006 to November 1, 2015 and the performance of Select Class Shares prior to May 15, 2006. During these periods, the actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 and Select Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid Growth Fund, the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to

December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 1000 Growth 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 Growth 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 Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth 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.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -5.38%   
Russell Midcap Index      -4.68%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)      $856,495   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Mid Cap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and information technology sectors was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Macy’s Inc., Community Health Systems Inc. and Lexmark International Inc. Shares of Macy’s, a department store retail chain, fell on weakness in earnings and a lowered profit forecast. Shares of Community Health Systems, an owner/operator of hospitals, declined on lower-than-expected earnings amid declining hospital admissions. Shares of Lexmark, a maker of printers and imaging technology, fell on lower-than-expected earnings and revenue.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Leidos Holdings Inc., Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. and Equinix Inc. Shares of Leidos, a data technology company, rose on better-than-expected earnings and a $4.34 billion contract to build a health records system for the U.S. military. Shares of Huntington Ingalls, a maker and repairer of military ships, rose on better-than-expected earnings and healthy contract growth. Shares of Equinix, an information technology network provider, rose on growth in so-called cloud computing and data center traffic.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and financials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and energy sectors was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in General Electric Co. and Microsoft Corp. and its overweight position in Archer Daniels Midland Co. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, rose on expectations for profit growth after the company shed large parts of its finance business. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and services that was not held in the Fund, rose on growth in its Azure cloud computing platform as investors sought large cap stocks amid market volatility. Shares of Archer Daniels, an agricultural products processor, fell sharply on continued weakness in global commodities prices.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Northrop Corp. and Valero Energy Corp. and its underweight position in Kinder Morgan Inc. Shares of Northrop, an aerospace and electronics company, rose on strong growth in earnings and dividends. Shares of Valero Energy, a refinery operator specializing in gasoline and diesel fuel, rose on the company’s plans to expand its refining and transport systems to reduce operating costs. Shares of Kinder Morgan, an owner/operator of natural gas pipelines and terminals, declined amid continued weakness in energy prices.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I”) and JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II”) (the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.

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

 

      Classes Offered    Trust    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Intrepid Advantage Fund    Class A, Class C, and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Intrepid America Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6* and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Intrepid Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6* and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Intrepid Mid Cap Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R6* and Select Class    JPM II    Diversified
Intrepid Value Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified

 

* Class R6 Shares commenced operations on November 2, 2015 for Intrepid America Fund, Intrepid Growth Fund and Intrepid Mid Cap Fund.

The investment objective of both the Intrepid Advantage Fund and the Intrepid Value Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation.

The investment objective of both the Intrepid America Fund and the Intrepid Growth Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital growth.

The investment objective of the Intrepid Mid Cap Fund is to seek long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.

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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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.

On June 19, 2015, all remaining Class B Shares converted to Class A Shares of the same Fund. Prior to June 19, 2015, Class B Shares automatically converted to Class A Shares after eight years and provided for a CDSC.

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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include 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. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the 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.

Table of Contents

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

B. Futures Contracts — Intrepid America Fund, Intrepid Growth Fund, Intrepid Mid Cap Fund and Intrepid Value Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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.

Ending Notional Balance Long

       89,659           42,845           21,878           69,509   

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting agreements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. 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.

To the extent such information is publicly 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.

D. 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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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

E. 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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

F. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least annually, except for the Intrepid Mid Cap Fund and Intrepid Value Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least 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.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after June 30, 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.

At June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards.

At June 30, 2015, the Funds had the following pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the years 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 JPM 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 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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months then ended.

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.

As of December 31, 2015, an affiliate of the Adviser had investment discretion with respect to its clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent the following percentage of each Fund’s net assets:

 

        % of the Fund  

Intrepid Advantage Fund

       14.1

Intrepid Mid Cap Fund

       15.1   

As of December 31, 2015, Intrepid Advantage Fund and Intrepid Value Fund had one shareholder and two shareholders, respectively, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that collectively own shares representing the following percentage of each applicable Fund’s net assets:

 

        % of the Fund  

Intrepid Advantage Fund

       10.6

Intrepid Value Fund

       63.0   

As of December 31, 2015, J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:

 

        J.P. Morgan
Investor Funds
       JPMorgan
SmartRetirement Funds
 

Intrepid America Fund

       31.5        56.0

Intrepid Growth Fund

       53.5           n/a   

Intrepid Mid Cap Fund

       25.8           n/a   

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

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 (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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in

executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds over the course of the year. 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 Advisory Agreements 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their 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 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.

Table of Contents

Based upon 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 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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as

assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Intrepid Advantage Fund, Intrepid America Fund, Intrepid Growth Fund, and Intrepid Value 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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves

 

 

 
DECEMBER 31, 2015   J.P. MORGAN INTREPID FUNDS         67   


Table of Contents

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 Intrepid Advantage 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Intrepid America 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Intrepid Growth 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Intrepid Mid Cap 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Value 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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.

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’ 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 Intrepid Advantage 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

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equities financial markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24th, dragging down the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) by 3.9% for the day.

However, U.S. equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The S&P 500 turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011.

In general, the U.S. equities market for the six month reporting period was marked by large gains in a few select stocks, especially technology sector stocks, while most other stocks ended the period lower or essentially flat. The energy, materials and industrials sectors underperformed the broader market, while the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care sectors outperformed the broader market. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      0.48%   
S&P 500 Index      0.15%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 306,091   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and energy sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Valero Energy Corp., Cameron International Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Shares of Valero Energy, a refinery operator specializing in gasoline and diesel fuel, rose on the company’s plans to expand its refining and transport systems to reduce operating costs. Shares of Cameron International, an oil field services provider, rose on news that Schlumberger Ltd. would acquire the company. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and technology services, rose on growth in its Azure cloud computing platform as investors sought large cap stocks amid market volatility.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s lack of a position in in Amazon.com Inc. and its overweight positions in Apple Inc. and HP Inc. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer not held in the Fund, rose on continued expansion of its business and a 20% increase in 2015 online holiday season sales from a year earlier. Shares of Apple, a maker of mobile devices and computers, fell amid slowing global demand for iPhones. Shares of HP, a maker of printers and personal computers, declined on lower-than-expected sales and a weak outlook for its printers business.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employ a philosophy that is rooted in behavioral finance, a field of study that emphasizes the importance of human psychology in financial markets. Behavioral finance examines how investor behavior can be affected by emotional biases and reactions. The field theorizes that inefficiencies arise in the stock market because investors are consistently irrational in making many investment decisions.

The portfolio managers aim to capitalize on these market inefficiencies by targeting attractively valued stocks of companies that they believe possess strong management, earnings quality and positive momentum characteristics, looking to sell these stocks when they no longer exhibit these criteria. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio managers look to short stocks that do not possess these characteristics. A disciplined quantitative ranking methodology is utilized to identify attractive stocks in each sector, a process that is combined with qualitative research and value-added trading.

During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in accordance with this investment philosophy and process.

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 31, 2006.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Alternative Active Extension Funds Average from January 31, 2006 to December 31, 2015. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends, 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 Alternative Active Extension 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. The Lipper Alternative Active Extension 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and materials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and telecommunication services sectors was a positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Time Warner Inc., U.S. Steel Corp. and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.

Shares of Time Warner, a media and entertainment company, fell on lower-than-expected advertising revenue amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of U.S. Steel, a steelmaker not included in the Benchmark, came under pressure from declining global demand for steel and an increase in less expensive steel from China. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker, fell amid questions about its accounting practices.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ACE Ltd. and Alphabet Inc. and its short position in Freeport McMoRan Inc. Shares of ACE Ltd, an insurance company, rose ahead of its acquisition of Chubb. Shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, rose on continued growth in Google advertising revenue and investors’ desire for defensive large cap stocks amid market volatility. Shares of Freeport McMoRan, a mining and metals company, declined amid global weakness in commodities prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

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

determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to take advantage of mispriced stocks that appeared attractive relative to fair value for long positions, and looked for overvalued stocks in which to take short positions. The long-to-short exposure ratio at the end of the reporting period was 130% to 30%.

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 the Class R5 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Select Class Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Select Class Shares.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Alternative Active Extension Funds Average from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Alternative Active Extension 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. The Lipper Alternative Active Extension Funds Average is an average based on 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 redemptions 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

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
U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Diversified
U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5 and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of the U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation.

The investment objective of the U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund is to seek to provide a high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

Effective as of the close of business on April 17, 2014, the Fund was publicly offered on a limited basis. During the periods where share classes are publicly offered on a limited basis, investors are not eligible to purchase shares of the Fund unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Fund’s prospectuses.

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 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

B. Futures Contracts — The Funds used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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.

The table below discloses the volume of the Funds’ futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

Plus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. 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 on 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 on 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 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 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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Funds had outstanding short sales as listed on the 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, and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly 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.

Transfer Agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R 5        Select Class        Total

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

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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least 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.

 

 
36       J.P. MORGAN EQUITY FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

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, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), 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:

 

U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund

     0.75

U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund

     0.80   

Prior to September 1, 2015, the investment advisory fee for each Fund was 1.00%.

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, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the effective annualized 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 has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, 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  

U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund

       0.25        0.75        n/a   

U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund

       0.25           0.75           0.50

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following (amounts in thousands):

 

        Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC  

U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund

     $ (a)       $   

U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund

       6           (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. 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  

U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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. For these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on 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 on the Statements of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). Effective November 1, 2015, the Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Funds’ investment in such affiliated money market fund. Prior to November 1, 2015, a portion of the waiver was voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 were as follows (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 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 on 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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.

At June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.

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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months then ended.

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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Funds each had two shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that collectively own shares representing the following percentage of each applicable Fund’s net assets:

 

      % of
the Fund
 

U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund

     40.3

U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund

     36.5   

As of December 31, 2015, an affiliate of the Adviser had investment discretion with respect to its clients’ holdings in the Fund, which represent 22.7% of U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund’s net assets.

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 (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, July 1, 2015 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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 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 AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information received about the Funds from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in

executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds over the course of the year. 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 Advisory Agreements 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their 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 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.

Table of Contents

Based upon 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 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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as

assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund’s performance was in the second, fourth and fourth quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that Fund’s performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund’s performance was in the third, second, and third quintiles for Class A shares and in the third, first, and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 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. 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 also noted that the Adviser, JPMDS and/or JPMFM agreed to reduce each Fund’s contractual advisory fee and increase the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements effective September 1, 2015. 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 U.S. Dynamic Plus Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Universe Group, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, including the reduction in advisory fee from 1.00% to 0.75% and additional fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that would take effect on September 1, 2015, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the U.S. Large Cap Core Plus 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 both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, including the reduction in advisory fee from 1.00% to 0.80% and additional fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that would take effect on September 1, 2015, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies – particularly those of emerging market exporting nations – put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets – including a 2% devaluation of the yuan – the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks – particularly those of large cap technology companies – while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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 Diversified Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      -3.06%   
MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      -3.41%   
Diversified Composite Benchmark      -1.66%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015      $1,403,774   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Diversified Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high total return from a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income investments.

HOW DID THE MARKETS PERFORM?

Overall, U.S. equity markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015, while equity markets in other developed market nations posted negative returns and emerging market equities posted double-digit losses. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24, 2015. However, U.S. and other equity markets rebounded in October and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) turned in its best one-month performance since 2011. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%, while the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index returned -5.92% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -17.18%.

Generally, bond markets had a weak performance during the second half of 2015 as interest rates remained low globally. Also, increased volatility in financial markets pushed investors toward lower risk securities in developed market sovereign debt and away from lower-rated bonds. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned 0.65%, the Barclays High Yield Index returned -6.82% and the Barclays Emerging Market Index returned -1.34% for the second half of 2015.

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

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares), which invests in a mix of domestic, international, and emerging market equities and fixed income securities, outperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “World Index”), which is made up of U.S. and international equities, for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s holdings in fixed income securities helped performance relative to the World Index, while the Fund’s holdings in emerging market equities detracted from relative performance.

For the same period, the Fund underperformed its Diversified Composite Benchmark, which consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (60%) and Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (40%).

Based on their view of market conditions and valuations during the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers implemented overweight and underweight positions versus the targeted weights of the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation. The Fund’s overweight position in high yield debt (also known as “junk bonds”) detracted from performance within its fixed income strategy, while the Fund’s overweight position in developed markets and underweight position in emerging markets contributed to performance relative to the combined weighted average return of the MSCI World Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

Security selection within the Fund’s U.S. Small Company strategy helped performance relative to that strategy’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, while security selection within the Fund’s Disciplined Equity strategy detracted from performance relative to that strategy’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. Within fixed income, the Fund’s allocation to non-agency mortgages contributed positively to performance relative to the World Index.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund targeted a long-term strategic asset allocation consisting of the following asset classes: U.S. large-cap equity, U.S. small-cap equity, real estate investment trusts, international equity (including emerging markets equities) and U.S. and international fixed income. The Fund invested in individual securities and underlying J.P. Morgan funds to implement its long-term strategic asset allocation and short-to-intermediate-term tactical adjustments.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred high yield bonds among fixed income securities. The Fund also had an opportunistic allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities. Among equities, the Fund was overweight in U.S. large cap stocks. The Fund used futures to more easily implement the portfolio managers’ short-to-intermediate-term tactical asset allocation views. The Fund also employed futures and currency forwards to help manage cash flows and bring the Fund’s currency exposure closer in line with its U.S. dollar-denominated benchmarks.

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 graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Diversified Fund, the MSCI World Index, the Diversified Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Diversified 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 Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth 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 Diversified Composite Benchmark is comprised of the MSCI World Index (60%) and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (40%). 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 Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth 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.

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 redemptions 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

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 Fund    Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a high total return from a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income investments.

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 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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.

On June 19, 2015, all remaining Class B Shares converted to Class A Shares of the same Fund. Prior to June 19, 2015, Class B Shares automatically converted to Class A Shares after eight years and provided for a CDSC.

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 Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Fund’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by affiliated and unaffiliated approved pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include 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. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the 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.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments shall be valued by applying an international fair value factor provided by an approved Pricing Service. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services 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 in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Table of Contents

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.

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 December 31, 2015.

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 valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

Purchases include all purchases of securities received in corporate actions.

(2) 

Sales include all sales of securities, maturities, paydowns and securities tendered in corporate actions.

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.
(b) Value is zero.

Transfers between fair value levels are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the period.

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 December 31, 2015, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), amounted to approximately $(306,000).

# The table above does not include certain Level 3 investments that are valued by brokers and pricing services. At December 31, 2015, the value of these investments was approximately $552,000. The inputs for these investments are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2.A.
(a) Value is 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 the 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.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). 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 December 31, 2015, 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.

C. Futures Contracts — The Fund used treasury, index or other financial futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond markets, maintain liquidity or minimize transactions costs. The Fund also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 on 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 on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price and interest rate risks. 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.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

The Fund’s future contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore, at times, used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Fund also bought 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 U.S. dollar 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 also records a realized gain or loss when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty upon settlement.

The Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions). As of December 31, 2015, the Fund did not receive or post collateral for forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

(a) This amount represents the cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the SOI. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities only reflects the current day variation margin receivable/payable from/to brokers.

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 may 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 agreements 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.

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.

The Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, 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. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.

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 net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publically 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.

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.

Transfer Agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

      Class A      Class C      Institutional
Class
     Select Class      Total  

Transfer agent fees

   $ 37       $ 2       $ 5       $ 4       $ 48   

Sub-transfer agent fees

     38         9         30         16         93   

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 on the Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratio to average net assets shown on the Financial Highlights. 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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 remains 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. 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 enacted rules imposing a tax on the indirect transfers of Indian shares. Based upon current guidance from Indian tax authorities, 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.

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.

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 0.55% 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, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the effective annualized 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following (amounts in thousands):

 

        Front-End Sales Charge      CDSC  
     $10      $ (a) 

 

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

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      Institutional Class        Select Class  
     0.25%      0.25%        0.10        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. For these services the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on 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 on the Statement of Operations.

Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Institutional Class        Select Class  
       1.14%           1.65        0.65        0.89

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and is in place until at least October 31, 2016.

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, 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 reimbursed expenses in future years.

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). Effective November 1, 2015, the Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. Prior to November 1, 2015, a portion of the waiver and/or reimbursement was voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015, was approximately $33,000.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory and shareholder servicing fees. 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 Underlying Funds. These waivers may 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 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 on 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Fund incurred less than $1,000 in 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):

At June 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any net capital loss carryforward.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II”) and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are both 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 7, 2016.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months 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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Adviser or an affiliate had discretion on behalf of certain of their clients with respect to the purchase or sale of shares representing 10.3% of the Fund’s net assets. Investment activities on behalf of these shareholders could impact the Fund.

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 the 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, 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.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the affiliated 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 Fund invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate investments may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. 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 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.

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 (not including expenses of the Underlying 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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund received from the Adviser. This information includes the Fund’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 its peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreement. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreement in executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund over the course of the year. 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 Advisory Agreement 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates 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 upon 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, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s investments in underlying J.P. Morgan Funds in which the Fund invests (“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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Fund and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allows the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Fund over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Fund, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior 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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 that the Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for Class A shares for each of the one-, three-, and five- year periods ended December 31, 2014, and in the third, second, and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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.

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 for Class A and Select Class shares was in the first and second quintiles, respectively, 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 fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48%

of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equities financial markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24th, dragging down the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) by 3.9% for the day.

However, U.S. equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The S&P 500 turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011.

In general, the U.S. equities market for the six month reporting period was marked by large gains in a few select stocks, especially technology sector stocks, while most other stocks ended the period lower or essentially flat. The energy, materials and industrials sectors underperformed the broader market, while the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care sectors outperformed the broader market. Over the reporting period, growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks and small cap stocks generally underperformed both mid cap and large cap stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and the Russell 1000 Index returned -0.78%.

JPMorgan Disciplined Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      -4.61%   
S&P 500 Index      0.15%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 8,163,167   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Disciplined Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a consistently high total return from a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities with risk characteristics similar to the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “Benchmark”).

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

The Fund’s Institutional Class Shares underperformed the Benchmark for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and media sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the energy and utilities sectors was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Time Warner Inc., 21st Century Fox Inc. and Mosaic Co. Shares of media and entertainment companies Time Warner and 21st Century Fox fell on lower-than-expected advertising revenue amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of Mosaic, a fertilizer company, fell on a decline in slower sales and earnings.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Valero Energy Corp. and its underweight positions in Walt Disney Co. and Kinder Morgan Inc. Shares of Valero Energy, a refinery operator specializing in gasoline and diesel fuel, rose on the company’s plans to expand its refining and transport systems to reduce operating costs. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment and media company, declined amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of Kinder Morgan, an owner/operator of natural gas pipelines and terminals, declined amid continued weakness in energy prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers attempted to construct the portfolio so that stock selection was the principal source of

potential excess return. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought investment opportunities in companies that they believed were attractive based on valuation and strong fundamentals.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Disciplined Equity Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 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.

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.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      3.54%   
Russell 1000 Growth Index      1.64%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 373,247   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Dynamic Growth 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 Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and technology sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection and underweight position in the consumer staples sector and its security selection and overweight position in the health care sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc. and its underweight position in Apple Inc. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer, rose on continued expansion of its business and an overall increase in online shopping during the 2015 holiday season. Shares of Facebook, an online social media business, rose on growth in advertising sales. Shares of Apple, a maker of computers and mobile devices, fell on weakness in iPhone sales and analysts’ expectation for declining revenue and earnings.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lululemon Athletica Inc., Gilead Sciences Inc. and Kansas City Southern Co. Shares of Lululemon, an athletic apparel maker, fell after the company reduced its earnings forecast and said its profit margins would not likely recover until 2017. Shares of Gilead Sciences, a pharmaceutical company, fell on investor expectations that revenue growth would slow in 2016. Shares of Kansas City Southern, a freight railroad, declined amid slowing freight traffic.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies in an effort

to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals and positive price momentum. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in companies with attractive fundamentals that, in their view, possessed the potential to significantly exceed expectations for a prolonged period of time.

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, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Dynamic Growth Fund, the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index from November 30, 2007 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 1000 Growth 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 Growth 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 Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures

the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth 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.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through August 5, 2010, 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.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      1.97%   
S&P 500 Index      0.15%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 83,636   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Equity Focus 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 S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the technology and consumer discretionary sector was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the producer durables sector and its underweight position in the consumer staples sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer, rose on continued expansion of its business and an overall increase in online shopping during the 2015 holiday season. Shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google and its subsidiaries and affiliates, rose on continued growth in Google advertising revenue and investors’ desire for defensive large cap stocks amid market volatility. Shares of Facebook, an online social media business, rose on growth in advertising sales.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Gilead Sciences Inc., Kohl’s Corp. and WestRock Co. Shares of Gilead Sciences, a pharmaceutical company, fell on investor concerns about industry-wide pricing practices. Shares of Kohl’s, a department store chain, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of WestRock, a packaging manufacturer, declined on lower-than-expected revenue and investor concerns about pricing trends in the packaging industry.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection. As a result of this approach

to stock selection, the Fund’s largest overweight positions versus the Benchmark were in the consumer discretionary and financial services sectors. The Fund’s largest underweight positions versus the Benchmark were in the consumer staples and utilities sectors.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation and current income.

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

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection and an underweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the consumer staples sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and information technology sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Altria Group Inc., Home Depot Inc. and Airgas Inc. Shares of Altria Group, a tobacco company, rose on strong quarterly sales growth and investor expectations that it would benefit from Anheuser-Busch InBev SA’s proposed takeover of SABMiller PLC, in which Altria held a 27% stake as of October. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement retail chain, rose on strong sales growth amid continued strength in the U.S. housing sector. Shares of Airgas, a supplier of specialty gases to the industrial and medical sectors, rose on news of a $13.4 billion takeover bid by Air Liquide SA.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in General Electric Co. and its overweight positions in Time Warner Inc. and Apple Inc. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, rose on expectations of profit growth after the company shed large parts of its finance business. Shares of Time Warner, a media and entertainment company, fell on lower-than-expected advertising revenue amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of Apple, a maker of computers and mobile devices, fell on weakness in iPhone sales and analysts’ expectation for declining revenue and earnings.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers’ focus remained on stock selection, as they believed that quality companies trading at

attractive valuations have the greatest potential to outperform in the long term. As the Fund aimed to purchase stocks with above average dividend yields, the research process was designed to identify companies with predictable and durable business models deemed capable of generating sustainable free cash flow.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares and, prior to February 28, 2011, Select Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 and Select Class Shares.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital growth over the long term and earn income from dividends.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection and underweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the consumer staples sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in the utilities sector and its security selection in the financials sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Molson Coors Brewing Co., Alphabet Inc. and Home Depot Inc. Shares of Molson Coors, a brewing company, rose on investor expectations that it would acquire control of a valuable joint venture MillerCoors following the proposed acquisition of SABMiller by Anheuser Busch InBev. Shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, rose on continued growth in Google advertising revenue and investors’ desire for defensive large cap stocks amid market volatility. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement retail chain, rose on strong sales growth amid continued strength in the U.S. housing sector. Alphabet and Home Depot were not constituents of the Benchmark.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Apple Inc. and Affiliated Managers Group Inc. and its underweight position in Intel Corp. Shares of Apple, a maker of computers and mobile devices that was not held in the Benchmark, fell on weakness in iPhone sales and analysts’ expectation for declining revenue and earnings. Shares of Affiliated Managers, a financial asset manager not held in the Benchmark, weakened after the company lowered its earnings forecast amid declines in the market for high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”). Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held by the Fund, rose on solid quarterly earnings and investors’ desire for defensive large cap stocks amid market volatility.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers focused on stock selection and aimed to invest in undervalued companies with durable franchises, strong management and the ability to grow their intrinsic value per share. The portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to security selection and fundamental research. During the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweight position relative to the Benchmark was in the consumer discretionary sector, while its largest underweight position was in the energy 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 R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R2 Shares have different expenses than Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R5 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Select Class Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Select Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Growth and Income Fund, the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 1000 Value 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 benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper Large-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 Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index, which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index are indices based on the total returns of certain groups of mutual funds as determined 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.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -2.05%   
S&P 500 Index      0.15%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 255,632   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Hedged Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation.

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

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s options hedge allowed the Fund to perform as designed, delivering returns with roughly half of the Benchmark’s volatility during the reporting period. The Fund provided a downside buffer in the third quarter of 2015, while also capturing 56% of the fourth quarter market rebound, with less volatility.

The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and pharmaceutical/medical technology sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the technology and utilities sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Time Warner Inc., 21st Century Fox Inc. and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. Shares of media and entertainment companies Time Warner and 21st Century Fox fell on lower-than-expected advertising revenue amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker not held in the Benchmark, fell amid questions about its accounting practices.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Walt Disney Co. and Kinder Morgan Inc. and its overweight position in Microsoft Corp. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment and media company not held in the Fund, declined amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of Kinder Morgan, an owner/operator of natural gas pipelines and terminals, declined amid continued weakness in energy prices. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and services, rose on growth in its Azure cloud computing platform as investors sought large cap stocks amid market volatility.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund used an enhanced index strategy that invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization U.S. companies,

while systematically purchasing and selling exchange-traded index put options and selling exchange-traded index call options. The option overlay is known as a “Put/Spread Collar” strategy. The combination of the diversified portfolio of equity securities, downside protection from index put options and income from index call options provided the Fund with a portion of the returns associated with equity market investments, while exposing the Fund to less risk than traditional long-only equity strategies.

The Fund commenced operations on December 13, 2013.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Hedged Equity Fund, the S&P 500 Index, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Average from December 13, 2013 to December 31, 2015. 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 and 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 approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses charged 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 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. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the funds designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

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

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through May 30, 2014, 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection and overweight positions in the health care and consumer staples sectors were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and technology sectors was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Ltd. and Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. and its underweight position in Microsoft Corp. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker, fell amid questions about its accounting practices. Shares of Biomarin Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker, declined after the Food and Drug Administration issued a negative review of the company’s drug candidate for a muscle wasting disorder. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and technology services, rose on growth in its Azure cloud computing platform as investors sought large cap stocks amid market volatility.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Amazon.com Inc., Facebook Inc. and Home Depot Inc. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer not held in the Benchmark, rose on continued expansion of its business and an overall increase in online shopping during the 2015 holiday season. Shares of Facebook, an online social media business, rose on growth in advertising sales. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement retail chain, rose on strong sales growth amid continued strength in the U.S. housing sector.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, rigorously researching individual companies

in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals and positive price momentum. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in companies with attractive fundamentals that, in their view, possessed the potential to significantly exceed expectations for a prolonged period of time.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation with the incidental goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities.

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

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection and underweight positions in the energy sector and its security selection in the utilities sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and materials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s overweight positions in Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Southwest Airlines Co. and Ace Ltd. Shares of Caribbean Cruises, an owner/operator of cruise ships, rose on better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Southwest Airlines rose amid improved utilization and consumer demand. Shares of Ace Ltd., an insurance company, rose ahead of its acquisition of Chubb Ltd.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in General Electric Co. and its overweight positions in PVH Corp. and Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate, rose after the company shed its financing business. Shares of PVH, an owner of brand-name apparel, fell after the company lowered its sales forecast. Shares of Cabot Oil & Gas, a producer of oil and gas, declined amid continued weakness in global energy prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers combined a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection with a systematic valuation process. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio managers looked to

take advantage of mispriced stocks that they believed appeared attractive relative to their fair value.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund, the Russell 1000 Value Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 1000 Value 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 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 Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Value 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.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      -1.33%   
S&P 500 Index      0.15%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 13,224,927   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

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

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceutical/medical technology and the basic materials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the software & services sector and the semiconductor & hardware sector was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Time Warner Inc., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. and 21st Century Fox Inc. Shares of media and entertainment companies Time Warner and 21st Century Fox fell on lower-than-expected advertising revenue amid a consumer trend away from cable TV and toward online entertainment providers. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker, fell amid questions about its accounting practices.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Avago Technologies Ltd. and Ace Ltd. and its underweight position in Kinder Morgen Inc. Shares of Avago, a maker of analog semiconductors, rose on continued demand for its products for mobile devices. Shares of Ace Ltd., an insurance company, rose ahead of its acquisition of Chubb Ltd. Shares of Kinder Morgan, an owner/operator of natural gas pipelines and terminals, declined amid continued weakness in energy prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, researching companies to determine what they believed to be their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of this

approach to stock selection, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the Benchmark at December 31, 2105, were in the big banks and brokerages sector, the insurance sector and the media sector. The Fund’s largest underweight positions were in the consumer staples and retail sectors.

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 R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Returns for Class R5 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares and, prior to May 15, 2006, Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 and Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Equity Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 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.

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.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(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 earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(e) 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.
(f) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(g) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by several of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.08), $(0.21), $(0.05) and $(0.09) for Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been (0.35)%, (0.92)%, (0.23)% and (0.40)% for Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class Shares, respectively. These amounts have been revised to correct a calculation error in the previously issued June 30, 2014 financial highlights’ footnote disclosure. These revisions are not considered material to the previously issued financial statements.
(h) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of the classes.
(i) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by several of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.10), $(0.19), $(0.03) and $(0.08) for Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been (0.60)%, (1.10)%, (0.15)% and (0.45)% for Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class Shares, respectively.
(j) Amount rounds to less than $0.01.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

* Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares commenced operation on November 2, 2015 for Growth and Income Fund.

The investment objective of Disciplined Equity Fund is to seek to provide a consistently high total return from a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities with risk characteristics similar to the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

The investment objective of Dynamic Growth Fund is to seek long-term capital growth.

The investment objective of Equity Focus Fund and Large Cap Growth Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

The investment objective of Equity Income Fund is to seek capital appreciation and current income.

The investment objective of Growth and Income Fund is to seek to provide capital growth over the long-term and to earn income from dividends.

The investment objective of Hedged Equity Fund is to seek to provide capital appreciation.

The investment objective of Large Cap Value Fund is to seek capital appreciation with the incidental goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities.

The investment objective of U.S. Equity Fund is to seek to provide high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

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, 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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.

On June 19, 2015, all remaining Class B Shares converted to Class A Shares of the same Fund. Prior to June 19, 2015, Class B Shares automatically converted to Class A Shares after eight years and provided for a CDSC.

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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to con-

 

 
92       J.P. MORGAN LARGE CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

sideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include 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. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the 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.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services 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 in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

B. Futures Contracts — Disciplined Equity Fund, Hedged Equity Fund and U.S. Equity Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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.

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. Options — Hedged Equity Fund purchased and sold (“wrote”) put and call options on indices to manage and hedge equity risk within its portfolio. 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.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a 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 underlying investment.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. 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 change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, 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.

The Fund pledges collateral to the counterparty in the form of securities for options written. Securities designated as collateral are denoted on the SOI.

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.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended December 31, 2015 were as follows (amounts in thousands except for number of contracts):

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.

To the extent such information is publicly 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 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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

      Class A     Class C     Class R2     Class R5     Class R6     Institutional

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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly, except for Dynamic Growth Fund and Equity Focus Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid annually, and Equity Income Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid 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.

Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreements (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 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 the 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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015 or at anytime during the six months then ended.

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.

As of December 31, 2015, an affiliate of the Adviser had investment discretion with respect to its clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent the following percentage of each Fund’s net assets:

 

        % of the fund

Equity Income Fund

       11.7   

Growth and Income Fund

       22.0

       23.8   

As of December 31, 2015, J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, owned in the aggregate shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:

As of December 31, 2015, Dynamic Growth Fund, Hedged Equity Fund and Large Cap Growth Fund each had shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that collectively owned shares representing the following percentage of each applicable Fund’s net assets:

 

        Number of Shareholders        % of the Fund

Hedged Equity Fund

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 (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, July 1, 2015 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ 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 Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed

the proposed agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds over the course of the year. 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 each Advisory Agreement 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their 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 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 upon 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 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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as

assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Disciplined Equity Fund, Dynamic Growth Fund, Equity Focus Fund, Growth and Income Fund, and Hedged Equity 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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 Disciplined 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, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 Dynamic Growth Fund’s performance was in the fifth, third, and third quintiles for Class A shares and in the fifth, second, and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Equity Focus Fund’s performance was in the fifth and second quintiles for Class A shares and in the fifth and first quintiles for Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable. The Trustees requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Equity Committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of next year.

The Trustees noted that the Equity Income 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Growth and Income 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Hedged Equity Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2014. 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 Large Cap Growth Fund’s performance was in the third, fifth and second quintiles for Class A shares and in the third, fourth and first quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Large Cap Value Fund’s performance was in the first, first, and second quintiles for both Class A

and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 U.S. Equity Fund’s performance was in the first, first, and second quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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.

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’ 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 Disciplined Equity 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 Dynamic Growth Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the second and third quintiles, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the third and fourth quintiles of the Universe Group, respectively. 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 Equity Focus Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the second and

third quintiles, respectively, 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 fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the 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 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 Growth and 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 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.

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

CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equities financial markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24th, dragging down the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) by 3.9% for the day.

However, U.S. equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The S&P 500 turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011.

In general, the U.S. equities market for the six month reporting period was marked by large gains in a few select stocks, especially technology sector stocks, while most other stocks ended the period lower or essentially flat. The energy, materials and industrials sectors underperformed the broader market, while the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care sectors outperformed the broader market. Over the reporting period, growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks and small cap stocks generally underperformed both mid cap and large cap stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and the Russell Mid Cap Index returned -4.68%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      -1.19%   
Russell 3000 Growth Index      0.73%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)      $6,474,576   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide 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 Russell 3000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and financial services sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., Range Resources Corp. and Nimble Storage Inc. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker not held in the Benchmark, fell amid questions about its revenue accounting practices. Shares of Range Resources, an oil and gas producer, declined on global weakness in energy prices. Shares of Nimble Storage, a data storage provider, declined after the company lowered its forecast for earnings and revenue.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Acuity Brands Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc. Shares of Acuity Brands, a maker of commercial and residential lighting, rose on better-than-expected quarterly results amid growth in the U.S. construction sector. Shares of Amazon.com, an online retailer not held in the Benchmark, rose on continued expansion of its business and an overall increase in online shopping during the 2015 holiday season. Shares of Facebook, an online social media business, rose on growth in advertising sales.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies across

market capitalizations in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate strong 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 the Class C Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class B Shares, all of which converted to Class A Shares on June 19, 2015 and are no longer offered. The actual returns of Class C Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class C Shares had similar expenses to Class B Shares at the time of their inception.

Returns for the Select Class Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. During this period, the actual returns of Select Class Shares would have been different than those shown because Select Class Shares have different expenses than Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R5 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Select Class Shares from May 1, 2006 to January 7, 2009 and Class A Shares prior to May 1, 2006. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Select Class and Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares from January 8, 2009 to December 23, 2013, Select Class Shares from May 1, 2006 to January 8, 2009 and Class A Shares prior to May 1, 2006. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than the other classes.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund, the Russell 3000 Growth Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 3000 Growth 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 Multi-Cap Growth 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 Russell 3000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies (largest 3000 U.S. companies) with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Multi-Cap Growth 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.

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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth.

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

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing and producer durables sectors was a leading positive contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Energen Corp., Southwestern Energy Co. and Brookdale Senior Living Inc. Shares of oil and natural gas producers Energen and Southwest Energy declined on continued weakness in global energy prices. Shares of Brookdale, an operator of assisted living and retirement homes, fell on lower-than-expected earnings and the company’s reduced earnings forecast.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Acuity Brands Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc. and Netflix.com Inc. Acuity Brands, a maker of commercial and residential lighting that was not held in the Benchmark, rose on strength in its LED lighting business and market share gains. Shares of Delta Air Lines rose amid lower fuel costs and increased U.S. consumer spending. Shares of Netflix, an Internet television programming provider, rose on increased subscriptions and growth in its business.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing a portfolio based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to identify dominant franchises with predictable business models

deemed capable of achieving, in their view, sustained growth, as well as undervalued companies with the potential to grow their intrinsic value per share.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      -3.93%   
Russell Midcap Value Index      -5.17%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 14,700,150   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth from capital appreciation.

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

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the materials sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its security section and underweight position in the utilities sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Jack Henry & Associates Inc. and Chubb Corp. and its underweight position in Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Shares of Jack Henry, a provider of data processing systems to the financial services sector that was not included in the Benchmark, rose on better than expected earnings and revenue amid increased market share. Shares of Chubb, an insurance company not held in the Fund, rose on news of its acquisition by Ace Ltd. Shares of Freeport-Mc MoRan, a copper mining and petroleum producer not held in the Fund, fell on weak global commodities prices, particularly for copper and oil.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Energen Corp., Gap Inc. and EQT Corp. Shares of Energen, an oil and gas exploration company, fell amid low energy prices and general weakness in the energy sector. Shares of Gap, an apparel retailer not held in the Benchmark, fell on sales weakness due to the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and disappointing holiday season sales at its Old Navy brand. Shares of EQT, a natural gas producer and transporter, fell amid continued weakness in global energy prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection and sought to identify durable franchises

possessing the ability to generate, in their view, sustainable levels of free cash flow.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund, the Russell Midcap Value Index, the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell Midcap Value 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

Mid-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper 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 Russell Midcap Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index are indices based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the mid cap and multi cap fund categories, respectively, as determined 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.

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.

JPMorgan Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      3.48%   
BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.04%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/15 (In Thousands)    $ 272,017   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital preservation and growth by using strategies designed to produce returns which have no correlation with general domestic market performance.

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 (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection process produced positive returns in the energy and producer durables sectors and negative returns in the financial services and consumer discretionary sector.

Leading individual contributors to Fund returns included its short positions in SM Energy Co., Consol Energy Inc. and Tenet Healthcare Corp. Shares of oil and gas producers SM Energy and Consol Energy fell on continued weakness in global energy prices. Shares of Tenet Healthcare, a hospitals operator, fell on a third quarter loss amid declining patient visits.

Leading individual detractors from Fund returns included its long positions in Staples Inc., Denbury Resources Inc. and Mosaic Co. Shares of Staples, an office supply retail chain, fell amid regulatory obstacles to its proposed takeover of Office Depot Inc. Shares of Denbury Resources, an oil and gas producer, declined amid continued weakness in global energy prices. Shares of Mosaic, a fertilizer company, fell on a decline in slower sales and earnings.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing a portfolio based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to identify dominant franchises with predictable business models deemed capable of achieving, in their view, sustained growth, as well as undervalued companies with the potential to grow their intrinsic value per share. Companies that ranked lowest in the above factors were selected by the Fund’s portfolio managers for possible short sales.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      -5.04%   
Russell 3000 Value Index      -3.64%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 11,154,765   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term total return from a combination of income and capital gains.

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

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) underperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection and its overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its security selection in the health care sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the consumer staples sectors were leading positive contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in General Electric Co. and its overweight positions in Southwestern Energy Co. and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate, rose after the company moved to shed its consumer financing business. Southwestern Energy, an oil and gas exploration and production company, fell amid continued weakness in global energy prices. Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond, a home products retailer, fell after the company reduced its earnings forecast.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Delta Air Lines Inc., Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. and PBF Energy Inc. Shares of Delta Air Lines, which were not included in the Benchmark, rose amid lower fuel costs and increased U.S. consumer spending. Shares of Dr. Pepper Snapple, a maker and distributor of non-alcoholic beverages not included in the Benchmark, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast. Shares of PBF Energy, a petroleum refiner and transportation company, rose on investor expectations that demand for refined products will exceed new refinery capacity amid weakness in energy prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection and sought to identify durable franchises

possessing the ability to generate, in the portfolio managers’ view, significant levels of free cash flow. The Fund’s largest overweight position remained the consumer discretionary sector, where the Fund’s portfolio managers found what they believed to be compelling investment opportunities. The Fund’s largest underweight position was in the energy sector.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(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 earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% or 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 1.32% and 1.75% for the six months ended December 31, 2015, 1.48% and 1.95% for the year ended June 30, 2015, 1.49% and 1.91% for 2014, 1.48% and 1.88% for 2013, 1.48% and 1.94% for 2012, and 1.49% and 1.95% for 2011; for Class C are 1.82% and 2.28% for the six months ended December 31, 2015, 1.98% and 2.45% for the year ended June 30, 2015, 1.99% and 2.40% for 2014, 2.15% and 2.38% for 2013, 2.23% and 2.44% for 2012, 2.24% and 2.45% for 2011; for Select Class are 1.06% and 1.36% for the six months ended December 31, 2015, 1.23% and 1.64% for the year ended June 30, 2015, 1.23% and 1.65% for 2014, 1.23% and 1.63% for 2013, 1.23% and 1.69% for 2012, and 1.24% and 1.70% for 2011, respectively.
(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) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(h) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by several of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.13), $(0.19) and $(0.11) for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been (1.38)%, (2.06)% and (1.16)% for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively.

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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Table of Contents

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

(a) All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 are disclosed individually on the SOIs. Please refer to the SOIs for industry specifics of portfolio holdings. There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

B. Short Sales — Multi-Cap Market Neutral 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 anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. 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 SOIs. 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 on 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 December 31, 2015, the Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on the SOIs.

C. Futures Contracts — Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Fund also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk. 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 six months ended December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

Neutral Fund
 

Futures Contracts:

  

Average Notional Balance short

   $ 4,221   

Ending Notional Balance Short

     2,727   

 

The Fund’s futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

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, and dividend expense on securities sold short, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly 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 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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

G. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least annually, except for the Mid Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least quarterly. Distributions are declared separately for each class of each Fund. 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

Prior to November 1, 2015, a portion of the waiver was voluntary.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts 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 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 on the Statements of Operations.

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any post-enactment capital loss carryforwards.

At June 30, 2015, the following Funds had pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the years indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund

* Amount includes capital loss carryforwards from business combinations, which are limited in future years under Internal Revenue Code Sections 381—384. Excludes approximately $5,263,000 of losses no longer available due to merger limitations.

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 the 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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months then ended.

7. Redemptions in-Kind

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, certain Select Class shareholders sold their shares of Mid Cap Growth Fund. The portfolio securities were delivered primarily by means of a redemption in-kind in exchange for shares of the Fund. Cash and portfolio securities were transferred as of the close of business on the date and at the market value listed below (amounts in thousands):

8. 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.

As of December 31, 2015, an affiliate of the Adviser had investment discretion with respect to its clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent the following percentage of each Fund’s net assets:

9. Subsequent Events

During the period December 31, 2015 through February 23, 2016 certain shareholders of Mid Cap Equity Fund redeemed approximately $693,000,000. This amount represents 21.6% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2015.

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 (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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in

executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds over the course of the year. 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 each Advisory Agreement 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their 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 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 upon 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 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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as

assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer for the Mid Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Growth Advantage Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, and Value Advantage 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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 Advantage Fund’s performance was in the third, first, and first quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 Mid Cap 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Growth Fund’s performance was in the first, first and second quintiles for Class A shares for the one-, three- and five- year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and in the first quintile for

Select Class shares for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Value 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Multi-Cap Market Neutral Fund’s performance was in the third, third and fourth quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Value Advantage Fund’s performance was in the first, second, and first quintiles for Class A shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and in the first quintile for Select Class shares for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 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. 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’ 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 Growth Advantage 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 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 fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Equity 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 both Class A and Select Class shares were in the second 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 Mid Cap Growth Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the second 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 Mid Cap Value Fund’s net advisory fee and 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.

The Trustees noted that the Multi-Cap 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 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 Value Advantage 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 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

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equities financial markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in Shanghai/Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24th, dragging down the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) by 3.9% for the day.

However, U.S. equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The S&P 500 turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011.

In general, the U.S. equities market for the six month reporting period was marked by large gains in a few select stocks, especially technology sector stocks, while most other stocks ended the period lower or essentially flat. The energy, materials and industrials sectors underperformed the broader market, while the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care sectors outperformed the broader market. Over the reporting period, growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks and small cap stocks generally underperformed both mid cap and large cap stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and the Russell 2000 Index returned -8.75%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      -10.89%   
Russell 2000 Growth Index      -9.31%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 404,416   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care sector and its security selection and overweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing sector and the consumer discretionary sector was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Men’s Wearhouse Inc., Nimble Storage Inc. and Barracuda Networks Inc. Shares of Men’s Wearhouse, a clothing retail chain, fell on weaker-than-expected comparable store sales for its Jos. A Bank business. Shares of Nimble Storage, a data storage provider, declined after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Barracuda Networks, a maker of data security, networking and storage systems, fell on weak quarterly results and a reduced forecast for billing.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Acuity Brands Inc., Wayfair Inc. and Monolithic Power Systems Inc. Shares of Acuity Brands, a maker of commercial and residential lighting, rose on strength in its LED lighting business and market share gains. Shares of Wayfair, an online retailer of furniture and other home products, rose on better-than-expected earnings and strong holiday season sales. Shares of Monolithic Power, a provider of electrical technology for commercial applications, rose on better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies in an effort

to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers preferred to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate strong future earnings growth.

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 Russell 2000 Growth 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 Small-Cap Growth 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 Russell

2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Small-Cap Growth 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.

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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Core Fund seeks capital growth over the long term.

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

The JPMorgan Small Cap Core Fund’s Select Class Shares outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and producer durables sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer staples and utilities sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Hawaiian Holdings Inc., Rovi Corp. and American Woodmark Co. Shares of Hawaiian Holdings, owner and operator of Hawaiian Airlines, rose on low fuel prices, traffic growth and overall improvement in the airline sector. Shares of Rovi, a provider of pay-TV programing guides, rose after several large entertainment providers renewed their contracts for Rovi’s technology. Shares of American Woodmark, a maker of cabinets and other home furnishings, rose on better-than-expected earnings amid a strong U.S. housing market.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Dynegy Inc., Triangle Petroleum Corp. and SunEdison Inc. Shares of Dynegy, an energy utility, fell on general weakness in energy prices and the company’s downward revision to its earnings forecast. Shares of Triangle Petroleum, an oil and gas extraction and oil field services company, fell on continued weakness in global oil prices. Shares of SunEdison, a solar energy company not held in the Benchmark, declined on investor concerns about the company’s high debt levels and its pending acquisition of Vivint Solar Inc.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

In accordance with its investment process, the Fund’s portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so that stock selection is typically the primary driver of its relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio

managers employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, using quantitative screening and proprietary analysis to construct a portfolio of companies that they believe are attractively valued and possess strong momentum. During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in accordance with this investment process.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing sector and the producer durables sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials sector and its underweight position in the technology sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Waste Connections Inc., Pool Corp. and Aptargroup Inc. Shares of Waste Connections, a provider of waste collection and disposal services, rose on consistently positive earnings amid strength in its core solid waste business. Shares of Pool Corp., a distributor of swimming pool supplies and equipment, rose on better-than-expected quarterly earnings. Shares of Aptargroup, a provider of containers and packaging, rose on better-than-expected earnings.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Ascent Media Corp., Iconix Brand Group Inc. and Crocs Inc. Shares of Ascent Media, a provider of security monitoring systems and services, fell on weaker-than-expected earnings. Shares of Iconix Brands, a manager of brand name apparel, declined after the company replaced its management team and had to restate its financial statements. Shares of Crocs, a maker of casual footwear, fell after the company cut its revenue forecast.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals and proprietary analysis. The Fund’s

portfolio managers looked for companies that, in their view, had leading competitive advantages, predictable and durable business models, and sustainable free cash flow generation with management teams committed to increasing intrinsic value.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of small-capitalization and emerging growth companies.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care sector and its security selection and overweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing sector and the consumer discretionary sector were leading positive contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Men’s Wearhouse Inc., Nimble Storage Inc. and Barracuda Networks Inc. Shares of Men’s Wearhouse, a clothing retail chain, fell on weaker-than-expected comparable store sales at its Jos. A. Bank business. Shares of Nimble Storage, a data storage provider, declined after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Barracuda Networks, a provider of data security, networking and storage systems, fell on a weak quarterly results and a reduced forecast for billing.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Acuity Brands Inc., Wayfair Inc. and Monolithic Power Systems Inc. Shares of Acuity Brands, a maker of commercial and residential lighting, rose on strength in its LED lighting business and market share gains. Shares of Wayfair, an online retailer of furniture and other home products, rose on better-than-expected earnings and strong holiday season sales. Shares of Monolithic Power, a provider of electrical technology for commercial applications, rose on better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. All prior class performance for Class R2 Shares has been adjusted to reflect the differences in expenses between classes.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Small Cap Growth Fund, the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2015. 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 Russell 2000 Growth 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 Small-Cap Growth 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 Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Small-Cap Growth 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.

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.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -8.19%   
Russell 2000 Value Index      -8.17%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 1,775,738   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies.

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

The Fund’s Select Class Shares underperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and materials & processing sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while security selection in the energy and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in oil and gas producers Bill Barrett Corp., Penn Virginia Corp. and Stone Energy Corp. Shares of these companies declined amid continued weakness in global energy prices.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Thoratec Corp., CoreSite Realty Inc. and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. Shares of Thoratec, a medical device maker, rose on news that it would be acquired by St. Jude Medical Corp. Shares of CoreSite Realty, a data center real estate investment trust, rose on better than expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Take-Two Interactive, a maker of video games, rose on better than expected earnings.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

In accordance with its investment process, the Fund’s portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so that stock selection is typically the primary driver of its relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio managers use a quantitative ranking methodology to identify stocks in each sector that, in their view, trade at attractive levels. Through bottom-up fundamental research, they seek companies that they believe have attractive valuations, exhibit high earnings quality and have management teams that make

effective capital deployment decisions. During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in accordance with this investment process.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      -7.45%   
Russell 2000 Index      -8.75%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands)    $ 1,101,185   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of small company stocks.

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

The Fund’s Institutional Class Shares outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and producer durables sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s overweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the consumer staples sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., Coresite Realty Corp. and Strayer Education Inc. Shares of Take-Two Interactive, a developer and publisher of interactive games and entertainment, rose on better-than-expected earnings. Shares of Coresite Realty, a data center real estate investment trust, rose on better than expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Strayer Education, a for-profit higher education company, rose on the company’s stock buyback plan and investor expectations for growth.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Outerwall Inc., Iconix Brand Group Inc. and Bill Barrett Corp. Shares of Outerwall, a provider of automated retail technologies, fell after the company lowered its revenue forecast.

Shares of Iconix Brands, a manager of brand name apparel, declined after the company replaced its management team and had to restate its financial statements.

Shares of Bill Barrett, an oil and gas producer, declined amid continued weakness in global energy prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

In accordance with its investment process, the Fund’s portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so that stock selection is typically the primary driver of its relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio

managers use a quantitative ranking methodology to identify stocks in each sector that, in their view, trade at attractive levels.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(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 earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(e) 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.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(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 earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(e) 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.
(f) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(g) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by one of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $0.11, $(0.05), $0.05, $0.22, $0.23 and $0.18 for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been 0.41%, (0.20)%, 0.20%, 0.79%, 0.82% and 0.66% for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares, respectively.
(h) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by one of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $0.12, $(0.01), $0.06, $0.19, $0.20 and $0.17 for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been 0.57%, (0.08)%, 0.27%, 0.86%, 0.89% and 0.77% for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares, respectively.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(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 earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(e) 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.
(f) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(g) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by one of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.02), $(0.09), $(0.05), $0.06, $0.05 and $0.02 for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been (0.12)%, (0.61)%, (0.36)%, 0.38%, 0.34% and 0.13% for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares, respectively.
(h) Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by one of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.01), $(0.07), $(0.07), $0.07, $0.05 and $0.03 for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been (0.08)%, (0.57)%, (0.58)%, 0.56%, 0.41% and 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares, respectively.
(i) 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 $(0.34), $(0.35), $1.28 and $(0.34) for Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Select Class Shares, respectively, and the total return would have been (3.01)%, (3.52)%, 14.66% and (2.70)% for Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Select Class Shares, respectively. The impact was less than $0.01 to the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments per share and less than 0.01% to total return for Class R2 and Institutional Class Shares.
(j) Amount rounds to less than $0.01.
(k) Commencement of offering of class of shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I”) and JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.

The following are 6 separate funds of the Trusts (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Trust    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Small Cap Core Fund    Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Small Cap Equity Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5 and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Small Cap Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class    JPM II    Diversified
Small Cap Value Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class    JPM II    Diversified
U.S. Small Company Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6, Institutional Class and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified

The investment objectives of Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Core Fund and Small Cap Equity Fund are to seek capital growth over the long term.

The investment objective of Small Cap Growth Fund is to seek long-term capital growth primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of small-capitalization and emerging growth companies.

The investment objective of Small Cap Value Fund is to seek long-term capital growth primarily by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies.

The investment objective of U.S. Small Company Fund is to seek to provide high total return from a portfolio of small company stocks.

All share classes of the Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund are publicly offered only on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Funds’ prospectuses.

Prior to November 16, 2015, Small Cap Equity Fund was publicly offered only 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 R2, Class R5, 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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.

On June 19, 2015, all remaining Class B Shares converted to Class A Shares of the same Fund. Prior to June 19, 2015, Class B Shares automatically converted to Class A Shares after eight years and provided for a CDSC.

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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include 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. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the 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.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2015 for Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund.

There were no significant transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the six months ended December 31, 2015 for Small Cap Core Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund.

B. Futures Contracts — Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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.

The table below discloses the volume of the Funds’ futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

Ending Notional Balance Long

       4,979           60,988           38,471   

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. 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.

To the extent such information is publicly 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.

D. 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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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

E. 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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

F. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least annually, except for Small Cap Value Fund, which are generally 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.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), 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:

 

Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund

     0.65

Small Cap Core Fund

     0.65   

Small Cap Equity Fund

     0.65   

Small Cap Growth Fund

     0.65   

Small Cap Value Fund

     0.65   

U.S. Small Company Fund

Table of Contents

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the effective annualized 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 Trusts’ exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, 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  

Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund

       0.25        0.75        n/a   

Small Cap Equity Fund

       0.25           0.75           0.50

Small Cap Growth Fund

       0.25           0.75           0.50   

Small Cap Value Fund

       0.25           0.75           0.50   

U.S. Small Company Fund

       0.25           0.75           0.50   

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following (amounts in thousands):

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have entered into Shareholder Servicing Agreements with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders.

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. For these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on 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 on the Statements of Operations.

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). Effective November 1, 2015, the Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Funds’ investment in such affiliated money market fund. Prior to November 1, 2015, a portion of the waiver was voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts 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 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 on the Statements of Operations.

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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.

At June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any capital loss carryforwards.

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 the 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 7, 2016.

7. Redemptions In-Kind

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, certain shareholders sold their shares of Small Cap Core Fund. The portfolio securities were delivered primarily by means of a redemption in-kind in exchange for shares of the Fund. Cash and portfolio securities were transferred as of the close of business on the date and at the market value listed below (amounts in thousands):

 

December 18, 2015      Value        Realized Gains (Losses)        Type  
     $ 530,784      $ 35,980           Redemptions in-kind   

 

* This amount includes cash of approximately $16,676,000 associated with the redemptions in-kind.

8. 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.

As of December 31, 2015, an affiliate of the Adviser had investment discretion with respect to its clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent the following percentage of each Fund’s net assets:

As of December 31, 2015, Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund each has shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that collectively own shares representing the following percentage of each applicable Fund’s net assets:

U.S. Small Company Fund

     1           15.6   

As of December 31, 2015, the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of certain Funds as follows:

 

        J.P. Morgan
Investor
Funds
       JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds
 

Small Cap Growth Fund

       n/a           24.0

Small Cap Value Fund

       11.2        16.4   

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

Because the Funds may invest a significant portion of their assets in REITs, the Funds may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

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 (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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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 AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each of the Funds whose semi-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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in

executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds over the course of the year. 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 each Advisory Agreement 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their 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 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Based upon 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 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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as

assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and U.S. Small Company 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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that

 

 

 
86       J.P. MORGAN SMALL CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 Dynamic Small Cap Growth Fund’s performance was in the fourth, third, and third quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable. They requested, however, that the Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the equity committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Core Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for Select Class shares for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Small Cap Equity Fund’s performance was in the first, second, and first quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 Small Cap Growth Fund’s performance was in the fourth, third, and third quintiles for Class A shares and in the fourth, third, and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable. They requested, however, that the Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the equity committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Value Fund’s performance was in the third, second and second quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 U.S. Small Company Fund’s performance was in first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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.

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

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

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’ 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 Dynamic Small Cap Growth 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 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 Small Cap Core Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for 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 Small Cap Equity Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the second 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 Small Cap Growth 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 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 Small Cap Value 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 U.S. Small Company 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 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

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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.

FUNDS COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES*

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The JPMorgan SmartRetirement® 2015 Fund seeks total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes its target retirement date. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Overall, U.S. equity markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015, while equity markets in other developed market nations posted negative returns and emerging market equities posted double-digit losses. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24, 2015. However, U.S. and other equity markets rebounded in October and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) turned in its best one-month performance since 2011. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%.

Generally, bond markets had a weak performance during the second half of 2015 as interest rates remained low globally. Also, increased volatility in financial markets pushed investors toward lower risk securities in developed market sovereign debt and away from lower-rated bonds. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned 0.65% and the Barclays High Yield Index returned -6.82% for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUNDS’ PERFORMANCE?

All ten JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds (Institutional Share Class or Select Share Class) (the “Funds”) underperformed their respective S&P Target Date indexes (the “benchmarks”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

The Funds’ manager selection, particularly investments in the JPMorgan Disciplined Equity Fund and the Value Advantage Fund, detracted from performance during the six month period. However, the Funds’ allocation to the JPMorgan Corporate Bond Fund and the JPMorgan Inflation Managed Bond Fund made a positive contribution to performance.

Strategic allocation to real estate investment trusts and equities in the U.S. and other developed markets made a positive contribution to the Funds’ performance. From a tactical perspective, the Funds’ overweight position in high yield debt (also known as “junk bonds”) detracted from performance, while the Funds’ underweight position in emerging market equity contributed to performance.

Strategic asset allocation involves setting long-term target allocations to various asset classes and periodically rebalancing the portfolio in accordance with those targets. Tactical asset allocation generally involves a more active trading approach and seeks to take advantage of short-to-intermediate term opportunities.

HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED?

The Funds invested in underlying J.P. Morgan Funds to implement the Funds’ portfolio managers’ asset allocation decisions. The Funds’ portfolio managers used a systematic screening and selection process to choose the underlying funds in their construction of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement portfolios. Relative to their respective S&P Target Date benchmarks, the Funds invested across a broader range of asset classes. The Funds’ portfolio managers believed that this diversification would help shield the Funds from market volatility and contribute to the Funds’ long-term risk-adjusted returns. In addition, they sought to invest in asset classes that have had historically lower correlations to the broader fixed income and equity markets, investing in underlying funds that hold real estate investment securities, commodity-related investments and U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. The Funds’ portfolio managers also used futures contracts to help manage cash flows and implement tactical asset allocations.

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 15, 2006.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average from May 15, 2006 to December 31, 2015. 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 indices reflects an initial investment at the end of the month following the Fund’s inception. The performance of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income 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 Mixed-Asset Target Today 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 S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index (the “Index”) reflects exposure to various asset classes included in target date funds driven by a survey of such funds for the particular target date. These asset class exposures include U.S. large cap, U.S. mid cap, U.S. small cap, international equities, emerging markets, U.S. and international REITs, core fixed income, short term treasuries, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, high yield corporate bonds and commodities and are represented by exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the Index calculation. Effective March 1, 2010, S&P modified the method used to calculate Index levels and returns for the Index. Prior to March 1, 2010, the Index was reconstituted once per year on the last trading day of May, with effect on the first trading day of June. Reconstitution is the process whereby asset class weights are established for the upcoming year. Effective March 1, 2010, the Index is reconstituted on the same schedule. However, the Index is now rebalanced on a monthly basis. Rebalancing is the process whereby the asset class weights that were determined at the previous reconstitution are reestablished. This process takes place after the close of business on the last trading day of each month, with effect on the first trading day of the following month. The Index returns are calculated on a daily basis and will continue to be calculated daily. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

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,

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 July 31, 2007.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2025 Fund, the S&P Target Date 2025 Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Funds Average from July 31, 2007 to December 31, 2015. 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 Target Date 2025 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 Mixed-Asset Target 2025 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 S&P Target Date 2025 Index (the “Index”) reflects exposure to various asset classes included in target date funds driven by a survey of such funds for the particular target date. These asset class exposures include U.S. large cap, U.S. mid cap, U.S. small cap, international equities, emerging markets, U.S. and international REITs, core fixed income, short term treasuries, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, high yield corporate bonds and commodities and are represented by exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the Index calculation. Effective March 1, 2010, S&P modified the method used to calculate Index levels and returns for the Index. Prior to March 1, 2010, the Index was reconstituted once per year on the last trading day of May, with effect on the first trading day of June. Reconstitution is the process whereby asset class weights are established for the upcoming year. Effective March 1, 2010, the Index is reconstituted on the same schedule. However, the Index is now rebalanced on a monthly basis. Rebalancing is the process whereby the asset class weights that were determined at the previous reconstitution are reestablished. This process takes place after the close of business on the last trading day of each month, with effect on the first trading day of the following month. The Index returns are calculated on a daily basis and will continue to be calculated daily. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2025 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.

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 July 31, 2007.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2050 Fund, the S&P Target Date 2050 Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050 Funds Average from July 31, 2007 to December 31, 2015. 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 Target Date 2050 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 benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050

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 S&P Target Date 2050 Index (the “Index”) reflects exposure to various asset classes included in target date funds driven by a survey of such funds for the particular target date. These asset class exposures include U.S. large cap, U.S. mid cap, U.S. small cap, international equities, emerging markets, U.S. and international REITs, core fixed income, short term treasuries, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, high yield corporate bonds and commodities and are represented by exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the Index calculation.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes interest expense, if applicable, which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Commencement of offering of class of shares.
(j) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of classes.
(k) Amount rounds to less than 0.01%.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes interest expense, if applicable, which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Commencement of offering of class of shares.
(j) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of classes.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes interest expense, if applicable, which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Commencement of offering of class of shares.
(j) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of classes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

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 10 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Income Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
JPMorgan SmartRetirement® 2015 Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

JPMorgan SmartRetirement® 2025 Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
JPMorgan SmartRetirement® 2030 Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
JPMorgan SmartRetirement® 2035 Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

JPMorgan SmartRetirement® 2055 Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R6*, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

 

* Class R6 commenced operations on November 3, 2014.

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2015 Fund seeks total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes its target retirement date. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

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 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies excluding exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services 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 in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

(a) All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually on the SOIs. Level 2 consists of U.S. Treasury Notes that are held for futures collateral. Please refer to the SOIs for asset class specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

B. Futures Contracts — The Funds used treasury and index futures contracts to gain exposure to or to overweight or underweight allocations among various sectors or markets, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price and interest rate risks. 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.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2015 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

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.

The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, 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. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

E. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invest in Underlying Funds advised by the J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), or its affiliates pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Included in the purchases and sales amounts in the table below are exchanges between certain share classes of the affiliated Underlying Funds. Such exchanges are not treated as purchases and sales for

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

Transfer Agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

The Funds invest in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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 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

Table of Contents

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 receives no compensation for performing such services, although the Adviser and its affiliates receive investment advisory fees from the Underlying Funds.

The Adviser reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, provides certain administration services to the Funds. The Administrator does not receive a separate fee for services to the Funds but does receive fees for services to the Underlying Funds.

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.

The Administrator pays many of the ordinary expenses incurred by the Funds in their operations including taxes, ordinary fees and expenses for legal and auditing services, fees and expenses of pricing services, the expenses of preparing (including typesetting), printing and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of additional information, proxy solicitation material and notices to existing shareholders, all expenses incurred in connection with issuing and redeeming shares (other than transfer agency and sub-transfer agency expenses), the cost of custodial and fund accounting services, and the cost of initial and ongoing registration of the shares under Federal and state securities laws.

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 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  
     0.25%        0.75        0.50

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following amounts:

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        Institutional Class        Select Class  
     0.25%        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. As part of its Administration Agreement, the Administrator pays fees and certain expenses for custody and fund accounting.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate shareholder service fees. To avoid charging a shareholder service fee at an effective rate above 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Select Class Shares and 0.10% for Institutional Class Shares, the shareholder servicing agent will waive shareholder service fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of shareholder service fees charged by the Underlying Funds up to 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Select Class Shares and up to 0.10% with respect to Institutional Class Shares.

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in futures.

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 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 on 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.

At June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any pre-enactment or post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards.

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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months then ended.

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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Funds each have one shareholder, which is an account maintained by a financial intermediary on behalf of their clients, that collectively owned shares representing the following percentage of each applicable Fund’s net assets:

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ 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.

Table of Contents

The Funds 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 indices, as well as indices 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 or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs 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.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

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 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying 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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each of the Funds whose semi-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 concerning the Funds and the underlying J.P. Morgan Funds in which each of the Funds invests (the “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 Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees’ considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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’ and Underlying Funds’ expense ratios and those of their 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 and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ 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 Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agree-

ments with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds over the course of the year. 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 each Advisory Agreement 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and 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 Funds and Underlying 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 and Underlying Fund.

Based upon 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 noted that there was no advisory fee charged to the Funds. At the request of the Trustees, the Adviser provided information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Funds and 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 Funds and Underlying 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 and Underlying 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 including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees 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.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds and/or Underlying 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 to the Underlying Funds, noting that JPMFM pays such fees for the Funds pursuant to the Administration Agreement.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees also noted that there was not an investment advisory fee or administrative fee charged to the Funds. The Trustees further noted that JPMFM paid many of the ordinary expenses incurred by the Funds including organization costs, taxes, ordinary fees and expenses for legal and auditing services, fees and expenses of pricing services, the expenses of preparing (including typesetting), printing and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of additional information, proxy solicitation material and notices to existing shareholders, all expenses incurred in connection with issuing and redeeming shares (not including transfer agency fees), the cost of custodian and fund accounting services, and the cost of initial and ongoing registration of the shares under Federal and state securities laws. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser and/or its affiliates, has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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 of the Underlying Funds. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Chief Compliance Officer’s report.

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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement Income 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2015 Fund’s performance was in the first, third and second 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, 2014, respectively, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2020 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2025 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2030 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2035 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2040 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 SmartRetirement 2045 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 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 SmartRetirement 2055 Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2014, and that the Trustees’ 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 Funds are not charged a separate investment advisory fee by the Adviser and the Trustees considered the reasonableness of the investment advisory fee and expense ratio of the Underlying Funds with respect to the Funds. The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Underlying Fund to the Adviser or its affiliates by comparing that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Underlying Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Underlying Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate. The Trustees also considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Underlying Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account 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 advi-

sory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement 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 Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement 2015 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 third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement 2020 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 third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group.

CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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.

FUNDS COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES*

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend 2015 Fund seeks total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes its target retirement date. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement dates.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Overall, U.S. equity markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015, while equity markets in other developed market nations posted negative returns and emerging market equities posted double-digit losses. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in the Shanghai and Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24th. However, U.S. and other equity markets rebounded in October and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) turned in its best one-month performance since 2011. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%.

Generally, bond markets had a weak performance during the second half of 2015 as interest rates remained low globally. Also, increased volatility in financial markets pushed investors toward lower risk securities in developed market sovereign debt and away from lower-rated bonds. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned 0.65% and the Barclays High Yield Index returned -6.82% for the second half of 2015.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUNDS’ PERFORMANCE?

Nine out of ten JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds’ (the “Funds”) Class R6 Shares outperformed their respective S&P

Target Date indexes for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

The Funds’ investments in iShares of the MSCI Europe Australasia and Far East Index exchange traded fund in particular, detracted from performance relative to the respective indexes. However, the Funds’ fixed income investments, particularly the JPMorgan Corporate Bond Fund and JPMorgan Inflation Managed Bond Fund, made a positive contribution to relative performance.

Strategic allocation to real estate investment trusts and equities in the U.S. and other developed markets made a positive contribution to the Funds’ relative performance. From a tactical perspective, the Funds’ underweight position in emerging market equity contributed to relative performance, while the overweight position in high yield debt (also known as “junk bonds”) detracted from performance.

Strategic asset allocation involves setting target allocations to various asset classes and periodically rebalancing the portfolio to those targets. Tactical asset allocation generally involves a more active trading approach and seeks to exploit shorter-term inefficiencies in markets.

HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED?

The Funds primarily invested in underlying J.P. Morgan funds and third-party exchange-traded funds to implement the asset allocation views of the Funds’ portfolio managers. The Funds’ portfolio managers used a systematic screening and selection process to choose the underlying funds in their construction of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend portfolios. Relative to their respective S&P Target Date indexes, the Funds invested across a broader range of asset classes. The Funds’ portfolio managers believed that this diversification would help shield the Funds from market volatility and contribute to the Funds’ long-term risk-adjusted returns. In addition, they sought to invest in asset classes that they believe have had historically lower correlations to the broader fixed income and equity 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 July 2, 2012.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $15,000,000 invested in Class R6 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2015. 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 Target Date Retirement Income 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 Mixed-Asset Target Today 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 S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index (the “Index”) reflects exposure to various asset classes included in target date funds driven by a survey of such funds for the particular target date. These asset class exposures include U.S. large cap, U.S. mid cap, U.S. small cap, international equities, emerging markets, U.S. and

international REITs, core fixed income, short term treasuries, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, high yield corporate bonds and commodities and are represented by exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the Index calculation. The Index is reconstituted once per year on the last trading day of May, with effect on the first trading day of June. Reconstitution is the process whereby asset class weights are established for the upcoming year. The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis. Rebalancing is the process whereby the asset class weights that were determined at the previous reconstitution are reestablished. This process takes place after the close of business on the last trading day of each month, with effect on the first trading day of the following month. The Index returns are calculated on a daily basis. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today 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 R6 Shares generally have a $15,000,000 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.

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 July 2, 2012.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $15,000,000 invested in Class R6 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2030 Fund, the S&P Target Date 2030 Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2015. 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 Target Date 2030 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 Mixed-Asset Target 2030 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 Target Date 2030 Index (the “Index”) reflects exposure to various asset classes included in target date funds driven by a survey of such funds for the particular target date. These asset class exposures include U.S. large cap, U.S. mid cap, U.S. small cap, international equities, emerging markets, U.S. and international REITs, core fixed income, short term treasuries,

Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, high yield corporate bonds and commodities and are represented by exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the Index calculation. The Index is reconstituted once per year on the last trading day of May, with effect on the first trading day of June. Reconstitution is the process whereby asset class weights are established for the upcoming year. The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis. Rebalancing is the process whereby the asset class weights that were determined at the previous reconstitution are reestablished. This process takes place after the close of business on the last trading day of each month, with effect on the first trading day of the following month. The Index returns are calculated on a daily basis. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 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 directly invest in an index.

Class R6 Shares generally have a $15,000,000 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.

The Index is reconstituted once per year on the last trading day of May, with effect on the first trading day of June. Reconstitution is the process whereby asset class weights are established for the upcoming year. The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis. Rebalancing is the process whereby the asset class weights that were determined at the previous reconstitution are reestablished. This process takes place after the close of business on the last trading day of each month, with effect on the first trading day of the following month. The Index returns are calculated on a daily basis. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2055+ 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 directly invest in an index.

Class R6 Shares generally have a $15,000,000 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) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Calculation of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share do not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented on the Statement of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments.
(j) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of the classes.
(k) Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the year ended June 30, 2014 and for the period ended June 30, 2013.
(l) Commencement of operations.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of the classes.
(j) Calculation of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share do not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented on the Statement of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments.
(k) Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the year ended June 30, 2014 and for the period ended June 30, 2013.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% or unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Calculation of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share do not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented on the Statement of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments.
(j) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of the classes.
(k) Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the year ended June 30, 2014 and for the period ended June 30, 2013.
(l) Commencement of operations.

(a) Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Net investment income (loss) is affected by timing of distributions from Underlying Funds.
(c) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d) 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.
(e) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.
(f) Does not include expenses of Underlying Funds.
(g) 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.
(h) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(i) Calculation of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share do not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented on the Statement of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments.
(j) Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of the classes.
(k) Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the year ended June 30, 2014 and for the period ended June 30, 2013.
(l) Commencement of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

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 10 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend 2055 Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class    Diversified

Currently, Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Funds are not publicly offered for investment.

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2015 Fund seeks total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as the Fund approaches and passes the target retirement date. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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 Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services 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 in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Table of Contents

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ 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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments. The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”):

C. Futures Contracts — The Funds used treasury and index futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate and equity price risk associated with portfolio investments. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 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 on 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.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to interest rate and equity price risk. 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.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2015 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

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. Distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

                             3,139                 580         3,719   

The Funds invest in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown on the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds and ETFs are waived as described in Note 3.F.

G. 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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains 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 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 at an annual rate of 0.30% 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, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the effective annualized 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 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  
       0.25        0.75        0.50

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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing

 

 
84       JPMORGAN SMARTRETIREMENT BLEND FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

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 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. For these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on 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 on the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on 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 of the Funds and Underlying Funds and ETFs (excluding dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses incurred by the Funds and any Underlying Fund and ETFs and acquired fund fees incurred by an Underlying Fund and ETFs) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R5        Class R6        Select Class  
       0.85        1.45        1.10        0.50        0.45        0.70

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and are in place until at least October 31, 2016.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory and shareholder servicing fees. To avoid charging a shareholder servicing fee at an effective rate above 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Select Class Shares and above 0.05% for Class R5 Shares, the Funds’ Distributor may waive shareholder servicing fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of shareholder servicing fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Funds’ contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Funds’ shareholder servicing fees.

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

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 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 on 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.

At June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.

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 7, 2016.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months then ended.

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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Funds each had two shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that collectively owned shares representing the following percentage of each applicable Fund’s net assets:

 

        % of the
Fund
 

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund

       58.8

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2015 Fund

       58.7   

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2020 Fund

       65.3   

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2025 Fund

       62.4

       58.6   

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2050 Fund

       55.7   

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2055 Fund

       51.0   

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

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ 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.

The Funds 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 indices, as well as indices 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 or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs 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.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

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 (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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) 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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each of the Funds whose semi-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 concerning the Funds and the underlying J.P. Morgan Funds in which each of the Funds invests (the “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 Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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’ and Underlying Funds’ expense ratios and those of their 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 and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ 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 Advisory Agreements. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreements with representatives of the

Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds over the course of the year. 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 Advisory Agreements 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and 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 Funds and Underlying 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 and Underlying Fund.

Based upon 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 Funds and 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 Funds and Underlying 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 and Underlying 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 including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees 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.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Funds and/or Underlying 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 to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Chief Compliance Officer’s report.

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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory,

 

 

 
94       JPMORGAN SMARTRETIREMENT BLEND FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 applicable 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. 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 SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2014, and that the independent consultant indicated that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory.

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 SmartRetirement Blend 2055 Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2014, 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. 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’ 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 SmartRetirement Blend 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 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 the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement Blend 2015 Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the fifth quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and third quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement Blend 2020 Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the fourth and fifth quintiles, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and third quintiles, of the Universe Group, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement Blend 2025 Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the fourth and fifth quintiles, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, of the Universe Group, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement Blend 2030 Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares was in the fourth and fifth quintiles, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, of the Universe Group, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the SmartRetirement Blend 2035 Fund’s net advisory for Class A and Select Class shares was in the fourth and fifth quintiles, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, of the Universe Group, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

The past six months have cemented key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies. In the face of slowing economic growth in China and a tentative economic recovery in Europe, U.S. employment and consumer spending were strong enough to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates in December for the first time in a decade.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

While U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for the six month period, the broader U.S. economy continued to strengthen. Unemployment dropped to 5.0% and remained there for the final three months of 2015, the lowest levels since April 2008. Thanks to cheap gasoline, easy credit and overall economic improvement, the U.S. auto industry continued to show strong sales growth through the second half of 2015, on pace for an all-time high of 17.5 million vehicles for the full year. While U.S. wage growth had averaged 2% throughout most of the post financial crisis recovery, U.S. wages rose 2.5% from one year earlier in both October and December 2015.

While the Fed determined the domestic economy was healthy enough to move toward normalized interest rate policy, U.S. gross domestic product fluctuated throughout 2015 and slowed to 2.0% in the July-September period and an estimated 0.7% in the October-December period. It became apparent during the second half of 2015, that economic weakness in both developed and emerging markets was a significant drag on U.S. growth. Furthermore, the strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies — particularly those of emerging market exporting nations — put U.S. exports at a comparative disadvantage.

Against this backdrop, demand for oil and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, foods and precious metals were trading at levels not seen since the 1990s. While an oversupply of petroleum and natural gas hurt global energy prices, slowing economic growth in China and the nation’s transition away from a decade-long construction boom reduced demand for a range of other basic materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for raw materials are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

 

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30% in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October and the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks — particularly those of large cap technology companies — while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, U.S mergers and acquisitions activity in 2015 had surpassed previous records by November and in December the U.S. bull market for equities reached 82 consecutive months. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15% and closed 4.08% below its all-time high, reached on May 21, 2015.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility over the past six months. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fueled market gyrations. However, the Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

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 SmartAllocation Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class R6 Shares)*      -4.01%   
MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      -3.41%   
Standard & Poor’s 500 Index      0.15%   
Net Assets as of 12/31/15    $ 134,265,224   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan SmartAllocation Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to provide exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies (including companies in emerging markets) across all market capitalization ranges.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

U.S. equity markets provided slim returns for the second half of 2015. Global weakness in commodities prices, slowing economic growth in China, anxiety over U.S. interest rate policy and slowing growth in corporate earnings combined to put pressure on equity prices during the summer months.

In mid-August, Chinese authorities devalued the yuan by 2% amid declines in Shanghai/Shenzhen equity markets. A global sell-off followed on August 24, 2015, dragging down the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) by 3.9% for the day.

However, U.S. equity markets rebounded in October as China’s central bank undertook further actions to bolster domestic financial markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at historically low levels. The S&P 500 turned in its best one-month performance since October 2011.

In general, the U.S. equities market for the six month reporting period was marked by large gains in a few select stocks, especially technology sector stocks, while most other stocks ended the period lower or essentially flat. The energy, materials and industrials sectors underperformed the broader market, while the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care sectors outperformed the broader market. For the six month ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 0.15%.

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

The Fund underperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and underperformed the S&P 500 (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2015. Based on their view of market conditions and valuations, the

Fund’s portfolio managers implemented overweight and underweight positions versus the targeted weights of the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s allocation to U.S. equities and REITs made a positive contribution to performance relative to the Benchmark and the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholdings), while the Fund’s exposure to emerging market equities detracted from relative performance.

In general, the Fund’s security selection detracted from relative performance over the last six months. Allocations to the Growth Advantage Fund helped performance relative to both the Benchmark and the MSCI World Index. The Fund’s allocation to the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund detracted from relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund targets a long-term strategic asset allocation consisting of JPMorgan Funds, as well as exchange-traded funds that are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers. During the period, the Fund had a slight overweight to U.S. large cap equities, offset by an underweight position in emerging market equities.

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 July 2, 2012.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $15,000,000 invested in Class R6 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartAllocation Equity Fund, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2015. 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 (net of foreign withholding taxes) 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 S&P 500 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 performance of the Lipper Global

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 charged by the Fund. 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. 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 Global Multi-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.

Class R6 Shares have a $15,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Subsequent to the inception of the Fund on July 2, 2012 until May 14, 2013, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

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
SmartAllocation Equity Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class    Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term 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 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 transfer agency, sub-transfer agency, 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 Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 —Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services 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 in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

 
14       JPMORGAN SMARTALLOCATION FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

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 instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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 six months ended December 31, 2015.

B. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Fund invests in certain Underlying Funds which are advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), 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 issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Included in the purchases and sales amounts in the table below are exchanges between certain share classes of the affiliated Underlying Funds. Such exchanges are not treated as purchases and sales for the purpose of recognizing realized gains (losses) or portfolio turnover. Included in the realized gain (loss) amounts in the table below are distributions of realized capital gains, if any, received from the affiliated Underlying Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

C. Futures Contracts — The Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond markets, maintain liquidity or minimize transactions costs. The Fund also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 on 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 on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity risk. 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.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2015:

 

Futures Contracts:

        

Average Notional Balance Long

   $ 3,920,259   

Average Notional Balance Short

     2,084,958   

Ending Notional Balance Long

     3,661,402   

Ending Notional Balance Short

     2,222,328   

 

The Fund’s futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

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. Distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

Transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agent fees and sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Fund for the six months ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R5        Class R6        Select Class        Total  

Transfer agent fees

     $ 353         $ 260         $ 158         $ 158         $ 502         $ 610         $ 2,041   

Sub-transfer agent fees

                                                         16           16   

The Fund invests in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result, bears a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds and ETFs are waived as described in Note 3.F.

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 capital gains 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 December 31, 2015, 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 remains 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 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 the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.50% 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, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the effective annualized 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 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following amounts:

 

        Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC  
     $ 37         $   

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        R2 Class        R5 Class        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. For these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on 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 on the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on 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 that total annual operating expenses of the Fund, Underlying Funds and ETFs (excluding dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund and any Underlying Fund and ETFs and acquired fund fees incurred by an Underlying Fund and ETFs) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A      Class C      R2 Class      R5 Class      R6 Class      Select Class
     1.13%      1.63%      1.38%      0.68%      0.63%      0.88%

       $357,842         $ 14,175         $ 1,261         $ 373,278         $ 936   

The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory and shareholder servicing fees. The Fund’s Distributor has agreed to waive the Fund’s fees in the weighted average pro-rata amount of the shareholder servicing fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Fund’s contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Fund’s shareholder servicing fee up to 0.25% of Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Select Class Shares and up to 0.05% of Class R5 Shares.

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 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 on 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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.

The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to invest in certain financial instruments in addition to Underlying Funds and securities.

4. Investment Transactions

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

 

        Purchases
(excluding U.S.
Government)
       Sales
(excluding U.S.
Government)
 
     $ 16,722,430         $ 24,639,993   

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, 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 held at December 31, 2015 were as follows:

 

        Aggregate
Cost
       Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation

     $ 137,018,329         $ 2,502,809         $ 5,707,092         $ (3,204,283

At June 30, 2015, 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 both investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

 

 
18       JPMORGAN SMARTALLOCATION FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


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 7, 2016.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the six months 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.

As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had two shareholders which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that collectively own shares representing 57.2% of the Fund’s net assets.

As of December 31, 2015, the Adviser or an affiliate had discretion on behalf of certain of their clients with respect to the purchase or sale of shares representing 26.4% of the Fund’s net assets.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund’s performance.

Because of the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. 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 the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as equity securities, foreign and emerging markets securities and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

The Fund invests 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 or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures contracts, 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.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

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 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) 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, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose semi-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 other J.P. Morgan Funds in which the Fund invests (the “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 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information included the Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“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 their 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 and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees’ 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 Advisory Agreement. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel

and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreement in executive sessions with independent legal counsel 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.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund and Underlying Funds over the course of the year. 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 Advisory Agreement 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 reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund and 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 Underlying Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 Underlying Funds.

Based upon 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 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 and Underlying 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 Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund and Underlying Funds.

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 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.

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.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Fund and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allows the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Fund over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Fund, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders.

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, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that

 

 

 
22       JPMORGAN SMARTALLOCATION FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2015


Table of Contents

serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. 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 at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ 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 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, 2014, and that the Trustees’

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, the Adviser’s and/or independent consultant’s analysis, and various other factors, concluded that the Fund’s 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 a certain representative class are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Universe Group, respectively. 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.
