CEO’S LETTER

October 11, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

The U.S. economy continued to expand through the six months ended August 31, 2017, amid continued low interest rates, rising corporate profits and growth in the leading economies of Europe, Asia and Latin America.

 

LOGO   

 

“We believe investors who maintain a properly diversified portfolio and a long term perspective will be best positioned to gain from opportunities presented by the current market environment.” — George C.W. Gatch

Synchronized economic growth in both developed market and emerging market nations helped drive global increases in investment, trade and employment. In turn, global corporate profits rose 25% in the second quarter of 2017, driven by growth in both revenue and profit margins.

In the U.S., the economic expansion entered its 98th consecutive month in August 2017, the third longest expansion on record. Over the course of the six month reporting period, the unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.5%. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in both March and June of 2017, and signaled it would raise rates once more before the end of 2017.

Meanwhile, demand from overseas and a weakening U.S. dollar helped drive U.S. corporate profits to their highest levels in 13 years. In the second quarter of 2017, more than an estimated three-fourths of the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) reported earnings that surpassed analysts’ consensus estimates, according to Bloomberg News. U.S. corporations also took advantage of low interest rates and issued a record $1 trillion of bonds from January through August 2017.

Equity and bond markets generally provided investors with positive returns for the six month reporting period. A rally in the U.S. stock market, which followed the Republican Party’s success in the November 8, 2016 elections, extended well into 2017 amid investor expectations for tax cuts, infrastructure spending and regulatory reform. Equity prices continued to reach new record highs through August 2017. Financial market volatility held near 10-year lows, spiking only briefly in early August 2017 amid rising military tension between the U.S. and North Korea. For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the S&P 500 returned 5.4%, while the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index returned 12.8% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 17.8%.

The leading economies of Europe, Asia and Latin America provided a notable boost to global growth during the reporting period and the world’s central banks largely maintained accommodative policies that benefitted both corporations and investors. We believe investors who maintain a properly diversified portfolio and a long term perspective will be best positioned to gain from opportunities presented by the current market environment.

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.

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

Global equity and bond markets generally had positive returns for the six month reporting period amid a surge in corporate profits, continued low interest rates and relatively steady economic growth.

Within fixed-income markets, high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) continued to outperform investment grade corporate debt and U.S. Treasury bonds throughout the six month reporting period. Notably, U.S. companies sold new bonds at a record pace in 2017 — more than $1 trillion combined — amid expectations for further interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve over the course of the year. U.S. financial market volatility remained historically low through July but then spiked briefly in early August amid rising tensions between the U.S. and North Korea.

Overall, municipal bonds produced positive returns amid fading investor expectation for changes in federal tax rates or increased infrastructure spending. For the six months August 31, 2017, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 3.79%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Tax Aware High Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of after-tax income from a portfolio of fixed income investments.

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

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Benchmark”). During the reporting period, interest rates generally fell.

In the municipal bond sector, the Fund’s overall shorter duration detracted from performance relative to the Benchmark as interest generally fell during the reporting period. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio of bonds relative to changes in interest rates. Generally, bond portfolios with shorter duration will experience a smaller increase in price, compared with longer duration portfolios, when interest rates fall. The Fund’s underweight positions in local general obligation bonds and leading sector bonds also detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s slightly longer duration in bonds in the eight-to-twelve year maturity sector was a positive contributor to relative performance. The Fund’s overweight allocation to bonds rated single-A also contributed to relative performance.

In taxable leveraged loans, the Fund’s allocation to taxable high yield loans was a leading detractor from relative performance. The Fund’s underweight position in bonds rated single-B and its security selection in the energy, food and drug and health care sectors also detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in the retail and manufacturing sectors made a positive contribution to performance relative to the Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s assets were invested among various sectors, including both high-grade debt securities and leveraged loans. Sector allocations were determined by input from analyst teams organized by sector that assessed relative value and risk, among other factors.

The Fund’s portfolio managers allocated the majority of the Fund’s assets to municipal securities and invested the remainder of the Fund’s assets mostly in taxable leveraged loans.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (9/17/07 TO 8/31/17)

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 17, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Tax Aware High Income Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Index, the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index from September 17, 2007 to August 31, 2017. The performance of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. 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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Index and the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond 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 securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt

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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Index is a total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-grade tax-exempt bond market. The Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index made up of bonds that are non-investment grade, unrated, or rated below Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service with a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index represents total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I 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.

Duration as of 8/31/2017      2.1 years  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return.

HOW DID THE FUND AIM TO MEET ITS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

The Fund has an absolute return orientation, which means that it was not managed relative to a benchmark during the reporting period. The Fund attempted to provide a positive total return in diverse market environments and accordingly, the Fund was not required to meet target benchmark weights, allowing the Fund’s portfolio managers to avoid sectors that they believed were unattractive. While the Fund was not managed to a benchmark, its return is compared to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”).

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

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Index. The Fund’s allocation investment grade debt and emerging markets debt was the main detractor from relative performance.

The Fund’s allocation to high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) and high yield credit default swaps — was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Index. The Fund’s overweight position in municipal bonds, particularly in the housing sector, also helped relative performance.

 

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund employed a bottom-up, security-selection-based investment approach and sought to take advantage of opportunities in the municipal bond market stemming from increased volatility, supply pressures and headline credit risk.

In addition, when the Fund’s portfolio managers believed that credit default swaps were attractively valued, they used these instruments to initiate long and short exposures in different sectors of the fixed income market.

(1) 

The Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is generally obligated to make periodic payments and may also pay or receive an upfront premium to or from the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment, upon occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation, as defined under the terms of individual swap contracts.

(2) 

Implied credit spreads are an indication of the seller’s performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make payment to a buyer. Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform (i.e. make payment) under the swap contract. Increasing values, in absolute terms and relative to notional amounts, are also indicative of greater performance risk. Implied credit spreads for credit default swaps on credit indices are linked to the weighted average spread across the underlying reference obligations included in a particular index.

(3) 

The notional amount is the maximum amount that a seller of credit protection would be obligated to pay and a buyer of credit protection would receive, upon occurrence of a credit event.

(4) 

Upfront payments and receipts generally represent premiums paid or received at the initiation of the agreement to compensate the differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and current market conditions (credit spreads, interest rates and other relevant factors).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017 (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
Tax Aware High Income Fund    Class A, Class C and Class I*    Diversified
Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund    Class A, Class C and Class I*    Diversified

 

  * Effective April 3, 2017, Select Class was renamed Class I.

The investment objective of Tax Aware High Income Fund is to seek to provide a high level of after-tax income from a portfolio of fixed income investments.

The investment objective of Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund is to seek to provide total return.

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 I Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares will automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. 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 (through April 2, 2017), distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Effective April 3, 2017 sub-transfer agency and shareholder servicing fees were consolidated into a single service fee.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”) acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

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.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Investment 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.

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.

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, including J.P. Morgan Funds, (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. Swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.

See the tables 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 Tax Aware High Income Fund and Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund at August 31, 2017.

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):

# The table above does not include level 3 securities that are valued by brokers and pricing services. At August 31, 2017, the value of these securities was $428,000. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note A.

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 default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds 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 asset value of the Funds.

As of August 31, 2017, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

C. Loan Assignments — The Funds may invest in debt instruments that are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates (a “Lender”) by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers (a “Borrower”). A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “Agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The Agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The funds invest in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When a fund purchases a loan assignment, the fund has direct rights against the Borrower on a loan, provided, however, the fund’s rights may be more limited than the Lender from which they acquired the assignment and the funds may be able to enforce their rights only through the Agent. As a result, a fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower as well as any other persons interpositioned between the fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). A fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on a loan assignment or suffer a loss of principal and/or interest if assets or interests held by the Agent or other Intermediate Participants are determined to be subject to the claims of the Agent’s or other Intermediate Participant’s creditors. In addition, it is unclear whether loan assignments and other forms of direct indebtedness offer securities law protections against fraud and misrepresentation. Also, because JPMIM may wish to invest in publicly traded securities of a Borrower, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the Borrower to which other investors have access. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, a fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing the value on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the Borrower. Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic

conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid and they may be difficult to value. In addition, the settlement period for loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Therefore, a fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of such investments for a period after the sale.

D. Derivatives — Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund used derivative instruments including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps, in connection with its investment strategy. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Fund. Derivatives may also be used to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparties (e.g., 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 agreement 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.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

Notes D(1) — D(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Fund.

(1). Futures Contracts — Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund used treasury futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments. The Fund also used futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.

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 interest rate 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 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).

(2). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of the portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of an investment strategy. 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

Table of Contents

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 contract offsets another forward foreign currency 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). The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

(3). Swaps — Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund engaged in various swap transactions, including interest rate, credit default and total return swaps, to manage credit and interest rate (e.g., duration, yield curve) risks within its portfolio. The Fund also used swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are negotiated contracts over the counter (“OTC swaps”) between a fund and a counterparty or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearing house through a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”), to exchange investment cash flows, assets or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.

Upfront payments made and/or received are recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. The value of an OTC swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit with the FCM cash or securities, which is referred to as initial margin deposit. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a variation margin receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.

The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for Over the Counter Swaps.

The central clearing house acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction, therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearing house.

The Fund’s swap contracts (excluding centrally cleared swaps) are subject to master netting arrangements.

Credit Default Swaps

Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund entered into credit default swaps to simulate long and short bond positions or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a default or credit event by the issuer of the underlying reference obligation.

The underlying reference obligation may be a single issuer of corporate or sovereign debt, a basket of issuers or a credit index. A credit index is a list of credit instruments or exposures that reference a fixed number of obligors with shared characteristics that represents some part of the credit market as a whole. Index credit default swaps have standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. The composition of the obligations within a particular index changes periodically.

Credit default swaps involve one party, the protection buyer, making a stream of payments to another party, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment if there is a credit event related to the underlying reference obligation. In the event that the reference obligation matures prior to the termination date of the contract, a similar security will be substituted for the duration of the contract term. Credit events are defined under individual swap agreements and generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, repudiation/moratorium, obligation acceleration and obligation default.

If a credit event occurs, the Fund, as protection seller, would be obligated to make a payment, which may be either: (i) a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount of the swap less the auction value of the reference obligation or (ii) the notional amount of the swap in exchange for the delivery of the reference obligation. Selling protection effectively adds leverage to a Fund’s portfolio up to the notional amount of swap agreements. The notional amount represents the maximum potential liability under a contract and is not reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Potential liabilities under these contracts may be reduced by: the auction rates of the underlying reference obligations; upfront payments received at the inception of a swap; and net amounts received from credit default swaps purchased with the identical reference obligation.

Return Swaps

Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund used return swaps to gain long or short exposure to an underlying index. To the extent the total return of the index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. These arrangements involve the periodic exchange of cash flows based on the total return of the underlying index and interest rate obligations.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding OTC swap contracts, Non-deliverable Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts and/or OTC options with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Daily movement of cash collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Collateral posted by the Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank. For certain counterparties cash collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.G.). Otherwise the cash collateral is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash. Collateral received by the Fund is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, which provides collateral management services to the Fund (See Note 3.F.).

E. 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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.

F. When Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — The Funds purchased when issued securities or delayed delivery securities, including To Be Announced (“TBA”) securities and entered into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price that may be settled a month or more after the trade date or purchased delayed delivery securities which generally settle seven days after the trade date. When issued securities are securities that have been authorized, but not issued in the market. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date that may be settled a month or more after the trade date. A delayed delivery security is agreed upon in advance between the buyer and the seller of the security and is generally delivered beyond seven days of the agreed upon date. The purchase of securities on a when issued delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. The sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. The Funds may be exposed to credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the transaction. Interest income for securities purchased on a when issued delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis is not accrued until the settlement date.

The Funds had when issued securities and delayed delivery securities outstanding as of August 31, 2017, which are shown as Receivable for Investment securities sold-delayed delivery securities and Payable for Investment securities purchased-delayed delivery securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The values of these securities held at August 31, 2017 are detailed on the SOIs.

G. 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. Certain Funds may receive other income from investment in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts are included in Interest Income on the Statement of Operations.

H. 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 agency fees and sub-transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses, and sub-transfer agency fees were class-specific expenses up through April 2, 2017. Effective April 3, 2017, the Funds ceased making direct payments to financial intermediaries for any applicable sub-transfer agency services. Payments to financial intermediaries for sub-transfer agency services are made by JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. from the Shareholder Servicing Fee, which has been renamed as the Service Fee. The amount of the transfer agency fees and sub-transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended August 31, 2017 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Total  

Tax Aware High Income Fund

 

Transfer agency fees

     $ 2        $ 1        $ 1        $ 4  

Sub-transfer agency fees

Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund

 

Transfer agency fees

       1          1          1          3  

Sub-transfer agency fees

       2          1                   3  

I. 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 August 31, 2017, 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 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

J. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid monthly 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 Investment Advisory Agreements, the Adviser 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:

 

Tax Aware High Income Fund

     0.35

Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund

     0.40  

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.G.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to Administration Agreements, the Administrator 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 August 31, 2017, the effective 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.G.

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. (“JPMDS”), 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 Class I Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, 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, JPMDS 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 August 31, 2017, JPMDS retained the following amounts (in thousands):

 

        Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC  

Tax Aware High Income Fund

     $ 2        $  

Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund

       2           

D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class.

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.G.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing 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. Collateral Management Fees — JPMCB provides derivatives collateral management services for Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for these services are included in Collateral management fees on the Statements of Operations.

G. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and JPMDS 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, 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). The Adviser, Administrator and JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, 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 amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended August 31, 2017 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

H. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. 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 August 31, 2017, the Funds purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Funds 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 Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Borrowing

 

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 both investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 6, 2017.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at August 31, 2017, or at any time during the six months ended August 31, 2017.

In addition, effective August 16, 2016, the Trust along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”) entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 15, 2017, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended August 31, 2017.

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 August 31, 2017, the Funds each had omnibus accounts, which each owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

     

Number of Affiliated

Omnibus Accounts

     % of the Fund    

Number of Non-Affiliated

Omnibus Accounts

     % of the Fund  

Tax Aware High Income Fund

     1        12.1     2        24.2

Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund

                  3        49.8  

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

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. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. 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.

The Funds are also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Funds such as swap and option contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, TBA securities, and insurance linked securities.

The Funds are subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Funds invest 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 that the Federal Reserve has recently raised interest rates and may continue to do so, the Fund(s) may face a heightened level of interest rate risk. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Funds invested substantially all of their assets in a portfolio of debt obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. An issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state or region. These debt obligations may be insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of issuer default. The value of these investments may be impacted by changes to bond insurers’ ratings and the Funds’ ability to collect principal and interest in the event of an issuer’s default may be limited if the private insurer does not have the wherewithal to satisfy its obligation.

8. Investment Company Reporting Modernization

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds’ financial statements as of August 31, 2017. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

(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 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 the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, March 1, 2017, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, August 31, 2017.

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.

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 2017 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 16, 2017.

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 Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the Funds’ performance, as well as a risk/return assessment of the Funds as compared to the Funds’ objectives and peers 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 discus-

sing 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 administrative services provided by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. in its role as administrator (“JPMIM”).

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 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 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 upon 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 JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and JPMIM earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 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.

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

(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 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 Broadridge/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 Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Trustees and Adviser determined that the Funds’ Peer Group and/or Universe were less meaningful and the independent consultant prepared an analysis of the Funds across various risk and return metrics including standard deviation, Sharpe ratio, credit quality, and duration compared to customized peer groups of funds with similar portfolio objectives (as selected by the independent consultant). The Broadridge/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 Tax Aware High Income Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, third and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, fifth and fourth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, fifth and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, fifth and fourth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, fifth and fifth quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe,

for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, fifth and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, fifth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s 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 Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/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’ determination as a result of the review of the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware High Income Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. 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 Tax Aware Income Opportunities Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.
