MODIFICATION OF BROAD-BASED INDEX. On June 1, 2017, S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that establishes the broad-based securities market index used by the Fund, changed the methodology used to calculate the S&P Target Date Retirement Indices. The S&P Target Date Retirement Index previously used by the Fund was comprised of exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., gross return) (the “Old Index”). Going forward, the S&P Target Date Retirement Index used by the Fund will be comprised of underlying indices of securities (the “New Index”). In addition, the Old Index has been discontinued. As a result, performance for the New Index prior to June 1, 2017 will be linked to an S&P Target Date Retirement Index that was comprised of ETFs that was not adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., total return). Performance prior to June 1, 2017 listed under the New Index will therefore be lower than such performance listed under the Old Index. The name of the Fund’s S&P Target Date Retirement Index will not change and there will be no change in the Fund’s investment strategies as a result of the change.

The following “The Fund’s Past Performance” and “Average Annual Total Return” table in the “Risk/Return Summary” section of the Prospectus replace the corresponding paragraph and table on page 62-63 of the Prospectus.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. Because Class R3 and Class R4 Shares have not operated for a full calendar year, the bar chart and table show how the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares has varied from year to year for the past four calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year and life of the Fund. It compares that performance to the S&P Target Date 2055 Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2055+ 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 S&P 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 any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
