Information dated March 1, 2020, as supplemented

Conversion of Class L Shares to Class I Shares. At a meeting held on May 12, 2020, the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I (“the Board”) approved the conversion of the Fund’s Class L Shares into Class I Shares. Effective on or about July 2, 2020, the Fund will automatically convert its Class L Shares into Class I Shares. Beginning July 3, 2020, Class L Shares of the Fund will no longer be available for purchase. Prior to the conversion, shareholders of Class L Shares may redeem or exchange their investments as described in the Fund’s Prospectus. Depending on the tax status of the shareholder and whether or not the account is invested through a tax-deferred arrangement such as a 401(k) plan account, such redemption or exchange may be a taxable event resulting in taxable income to the shareholder. Please consult your tax advisor on this issue. The conversion will not be considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes. Effective on or about July 3, 2020, all references to Class L Shares will be removed from the Prospectus, Summary Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Reduction of Investment Advisory Fee and Changes to the Fund’s Expense Limitation Agreement. In addition, at a meeting held on May 12, 2020, the Board approved changes to the investment advisory fee and the expenses limitation agreement for the Fund. Effective June 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the investment advisory fee will be reduced from 0.60% to 0.35%. In addition, on the Effective Date, the contractual expense waiver in effect for Class I Shares of the Fund will be extended such that it will remain in effect through May 31, 2022, at which time it will be determined whether such waiver will be renewed or revised.

On the Effective Date, the “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and “Example” tables in the Fund’s Summary Prospectuses and Prospectus will be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the corresponding tables below:

  and Class I Shares, respectively. With respect to Class A and Class C Shares, these waivers are in effect through 5/31/21, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. With respect to Class I Shares, these waivers are in effect through 5/31/22, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 5/31/21, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Your actual costs may be higher or lower.
