The Fund seeks to provide total return.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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

“Acquired Fund (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund.

1 The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding (1) dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, and
  extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund and any underlying fund and (2) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses incurred by an underlying fund) exceed 1.23%, 0.53% and 0.48% of the average daily net assets of Class R2, Class R5, and Class R6 Shares, respectively. This waiver is in effect through 6/30/17, at which time the advisor and/or affiliates will determine whether to renew or revise it.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/17 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

 

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:
 
     1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years  
CLASS R2 SHARES ($)     125        982        1,854        4,105  
CLASS R5 SHARES ($)     54        753        1,477        3,396  
CLASS R6 SHARES ($)     49       221       408       949  

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The Fund seeks to provide exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. (including emerging markets) fixed income securities. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) will strategically and tactically allocate the Fund’s assets across fixed income sub-asset classes or sectors seeking attractive risk-adjusted returns.

The Fund intends to gain exposure to various fixed income sectors by investing in other J.P. Morgan Funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs) managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (unaffiliated ETFs), and individual securities.

As part of its main investment strategy, the Fund will invest in debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies, corporate debt, and debt issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign government or its agencies.

The Adviser may also allocate the Fund’s assets to inflation-linked securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), investment grade and non-investment grade (otherwise referred to as high yield or ‘junk’) corporate bonds, loan participations and assignments, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, emerging market debt, and fixed income-linked derivatives and underlying funds that invest primarily in such instruments.

The Adviser will invest across the credit spectrum to provide the Fund exposure to various credit rating categories. Under normal conditions, at least 65% of the Fund’s total assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The balance of the Fund’s assets is not required to meet any minimum credit quality.

In managing the Fund, the Adviser establishes strategic target allocations to fixed income sub-asset classes that it believes in aggregate will outperform the Barclays US Aggregate Index, the Fund’s benchmark (the “Benchmark”) over the long term. The Adviser will review these strategic allocations at least annually and that may result in adding or removing sectors, or changing the allocation to different sectors.

The Adviser will also use a tactical asset allocation process to pursue short to intermediate term opportunities through a combination of investments in individual securities and underlying funds. As a result of tactical allocations decisions, the Fund’s actual allocations may deviate from the strategic target allocations at any given time. The Adviser will review its tactical allocations on a periodic basis and may make modifications in its discretion. Updated information concerning the Fund’s allocations to underlying funds and investments in individual securities

will be available in the Fund’s shareholder reports and on the Fund’s website from time to time.

In addition to investing in other J.P. Morgan Mutual Funds, unaffiliated ETFs and individual securities, the Fund may also invest in derivatives. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives, such as futures contracts, for purposes of cash management, to manage its exposure to specific sectors and markets, and for interest rate risk management by adjusting the duration and yield curve position of the Fund.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

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

 

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

The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.

Investment Risk. The Fund is subject to investment risk, including fixed income market risk. The market may be volatile causing the Fund’s share price to drop and an investor to lose money.

Investments in Mutual Funds Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates may provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit may the Adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest.

ETF Risk. The Fund and underlying funds may invest in shares of ETFs. The Fund indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may

 

 

2


result in a loss. ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount).

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes, due to a number of factors, including inflation, interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters or events, terrorism, regulatory events and government controls.

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

Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s and the underlying funds’ investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund and the underlying funds may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened.

Credit Risk. The Fund’s and the underlying funds’ investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.

Government Securities Risk. The Fund and the underlying funds invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae),

the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund and the underlying funds may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to certain other risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the property market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the Fund or underlying fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund or underlying fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the Fund or underlying fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility.

Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as IOs and POs, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the

 

 

3


rate of prepayments than other mortgage related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk”, for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.

The Fund or underlying fund will be exposed to additional risk to the extent that it uses inverse floaters and inverse IOs, which are debt securities with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. These securities are more volatile and more sensitive to interest rate changes than other types of debt securities. If interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the Adviser, the Fund or underlying fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment in inverse IOs.

High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund and the underlying funds invest in instruments including junk bonds, loan assignments and participations (Loans) and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments are subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protections under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. High yield instruments and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s instruments and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity risk may be more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the Adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.

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

Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.

Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund and the underlying funds may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.

Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund and underlying funds securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant

 

 

4


impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations.

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

Inflation-Managed Strategies Risk. Certain underlying funds may use inflation-managed strategies including using swaps that are based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in combination with a core portfolio of fixed income securities to create the equivalent of a portfolio of inflation-protected fixed income securities. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds or reflect the actual rate of inflation. In addition, some of the underlying funds may make direct investments in inflation-protected securities. Inflation-linked securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-linked securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the underlying fund will not receive the principal until maturity. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. An underlying fund’s investments in inflation-linked securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index.

Securities and Financial Instruments Risks. The Fund may invest directly in securities and other financial instruments, such as derivatives. The intention of doing so is to gain exposure to, or to overweight or underweight its investments, among various sectors or markets. There is no guarantee that the use of these securities and financial instruments will produce the intended result of effectively allocating the Fund’s investments to a specific market or sector. In addition, securities and financial instruments are subject to additional risks specific to their structure, sector or market (e.g., futures and swaps on foreign securities are subject to foreign investment, emerging market and derivative risks). Depending on the type of security or instrument, the market value may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably causing a security or instrument to be worth less than the price originally paid for it. To the extent that a security or instrument decreases in value, the value of your investment in the Fund will be affected.

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

Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities.

Transactions Risk. The Fund and/or an underlying fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, its shares’ values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R6 Shares has varied from year to year for the past three calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year and the life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and the Lipper Global Income Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the Lipper index includes the fees and expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
