LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December 6, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

Equity markets largely rewarded investors with strong returns amid a global economic rebound in 2021 that withstood the emergence and spread of Covid variants, strained supply chains and accelerating inflation. Despite uneven progress against the pandemic, continued monetary and fiscal support helped bolster corporate profits and consumer spending throughout the twelve months ended October 21, 2021.

“Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals.” — Andrea L. Lisher

While leading central banks maintain accommodative policies throughout the period, select emerging market nations – particularly Brazil — raised interest rates and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) laid out a potential timetable for winding down its asset purchasing program and raising interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic. While the Fed initially insisted that price inflation fueled by the reopening of the global economy would likely be temporary, by the end of the period Fed officials conceded that inflation was stronger and more persistent than expected.

By the end of the period – and in subsequent weeks – financial market volatility increased amid investor uncertainty about the ongoing pandemic and concerns about the potential for the Fed to move more quickly to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation. However, economic data point toward a continued rebound in the global economy into 2022.

Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals. We seek to maintain our focus on the needs of our clients and shareholders with the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Globally, equity markets outperformed fixed income markets by a wide margin amid a global economic rebound from the initial economic shock of the pandemic. While the development and distribution of multiple vaccines unleashed a sharp increase in economic activity in the first half of the period, uneven success against the pandemic, supply chain constraints and inflationary pressure weighed on growth in the latter part of the period. Overall, U.S. equity outperformed both developed market and emerging market equities.

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the S&P 500 returned 42.91%; the MSCI EAFE Index returned 34.18% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 16.96%. Within fixed income, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned -0.48%, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index returned 10.53% and the Bloomberg Emerging Markets Index returned 3.01% for the period.

At the start of the period, global equity prices began to rebound amid development of the first vaccines against COVID-19 and its leading variants. The rally in equity prices was largely led by investor demand for U.S. large cap stocks, particularly in the technology sector. Notably, emerging markets equity surged ahead of developed markets in December as China, Taiwan and other emerging market nations appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

While the global rally in equity markets appeared to take a pause in January 2021, equity prices surged higher from February through June 2021. In the U.S., the successful if uneven distribution of vaccines combined with a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal relief and recovery package—and the prospect of additional federal government spending – helped push leading equity indexes higher in the first half of 2021. Corporate earnings and cash flows reached record highs in the first quarter of 2021. Robust growth in consumer spending, business investments and manufacturing data added further fuel to the rally in U.S. equity markets.

In May, historically high valuations for U.S. equity fueled investor demand for higher returns elsewhere in both developed and emerging markets. However, the uneven distribution of vaccines, continued spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and disparities in the re-openings of national economies weighed on equity markets in June.

In the following months global economic growth was increasingly hindered by uneven progress against the pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks and rising prices for both commodities and finished goods. Energy prices rose sharply amid a rebound in demand, which helped petroleum exporting nations but weighed on the economies of net importers. Extended inflationary pressures led to modest divergence in central bank policies at the end of the period. Leading central banks maintained their ultra-low interest rate policies, while monetary authorities in emerging markets—particularly Brazil—raised rates to head off rising prices.

Global equity prices largely continued their upward trajectory in the final months of the period, with the exception of a modest retreat in September 2021. While developed markets equity and emerging markets equity generally provided positive returns, equity markets slumped in select nations facing political unrest and/or rapidly rising inflationary pressures. Notably, equity prices in China were weighed down by real estate company China Evergrande’s struggles to meet debt payments as investors worried about the potential impact on financial markets. Additionally, shares of large information technology companies in China were hurt by investor uncertainty over increased domestic regulatory scrutiny.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      11.31%  
ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index      0.06%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $19,187  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares posted a positive absolute performance and outperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s long equity strategies were leading contributors to absolute performance during the reporting period. The Fund’s fixed income strategies had an overall neutral impact on absolute performance and the Fund’s short bias equity strategies detracted from absolute performance.

In equity, the Fund’s exposures in the technology, financials and consumer discretionary sectors were leading contributors to absolute performance. Within the technology sector, the Fund benefitted from increased exposure to select semiconductor manufacturers that benefitted from both long term trends, including the spread of 5G networks and the transition to cloud computing, and short-term cyclical trends, particularly increased semiconductor demand across most end markets amid constrained global supply. The Fund’s exposures in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors benefitted from exposure to U.S. financial services and consumer companies that performed well in the pandemic recovery and were supported by the broader expansion in economic activity during the period.

The leading detractors from absolute performance included the Fund’s short positions in U.S. and European equity via options and futures that were held as hedges to moderate overall portfolio risk during the period.

Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s allocation to equity was the leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, which is a fixed income index that contains no equity.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the portfolio managers increased the Fund’s cyclical tilt and its exposure to the value factor as investor sentiment improved amid positive vaccine developments and a recovery in global economic activity. The portfolio managers also initiated a long U.S. dollar versus short emerging markets currencies strategy.

Amid slowing economic growth and rising inflation in the latter half of the period, the portfolio managers sought to reduce the Fund’s portfolio risk and cyclical tilt by adding short-bias futures and options across the U.S., European and emerging markets, as well as exiting positions in the semiconductors and energy sectors. The portfolio managers also initiated a long Australia versus short U.S. fixed income strategy, reflecting their expectation that U.S. interest rates may rise more rapidly than rates in Australia, given the relative strength of the U.S. economy.

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 April 15, 2020.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Macro Opportunities Fund and the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index from April 15, 2020 to October 31, 2021. 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 ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has

been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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 applicable 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 on gains resulting from 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s long positions in the communication services sector and its short positions in the consumer staples sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s long and short positions in the health care sector and its short positions in the financials sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from absolute performance included the Fund’s long positions in Fidelity National Information Services Inc., Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Fiserv Inc. Shares of Fidelity National Information Services, an electronic payments technology provider, fell late in the period after the company lowered its earnings forecast for 2021. Shares of Alibaba Group Holding, a Chinese electronic commerce conglomerate, fell amid tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in China as well as broader investor concerns about China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments. Shares of Fiserv, a financial service technology provider, underperformed the broader market due to a slow recovery in revenue growth across its businesses.

Leading individual contributors to absolute performance included the Fund’s long positions in Tesla Inc., Blackstone Inc. and Zscaler Inc. Shares of Tesla, a maker of electric automobiles and batteries, rose on growth in quarterly earnings and continued investor demand for large cap technology stocks. Shares of Blackstone, an investment and fund management company, rose amid consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Zscaler, a cloud internet security platform provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for its fourth fiscal quarter and raised its sales forecast.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the Fund invested an average of 130% of its assets in long and short positions in equity securities, selecting from a universe of equity securities with market capitalizations similar to those included in the Russell 1000 Index and/or the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to achieve lower volatility than the Benchmark through a disciplined research process, security selection and risk management. For the twelve month reporting period, the Fund’s average gross exposure was 130% and its average net exposure was 66%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021. During the period, equity markets generally outperformed bond markets.

The Fund’s security selection in the semiconductors and consumer stable sectors was a leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the retail and industrial cyclical sectors was a leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s short positions in Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Spotify Technology SA and its long position in Diamondback Energy Inc. Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software, a video game publisher, fell amid delays in the rollout of a key game update and a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast. Shares of Spotify Technology, a music streaming provider, fell in the middle of the period amid signs that the company’s user growth was slowing. Shares of Diamondback Energy, an oil and gas company focused on U.S. shale deposits, rose amid a rebound in global energy demand.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s short positions in AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., Macy’s Inc. and Acuity Brands Inc. Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings, an owner/operator of movie theaters, rose sharply in the first half of 2021 as users of Internet forums pushed the share price higher in response to large short positions in the stock. Shares of Macy’s, a department store operator, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter of 2021 and reinstated its quarterly dividends. Shares of Acuity Brands, a provider of lighting and building management systems, rose amid consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to construct a portfolio of long and short positions with a low correlation to the broader market for stocks and bonds. The Fund’s portfolio managers used fundamental research to estimate companies’ long-term earnings forecasts, ranking approximately 600 large and mid-cap stocks into five quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top two quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and the bottom two quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund and ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. 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 ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index

is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I”) and JPMorgan Trust IV (“JPM IV”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004 and November 11, 2015, respectively, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and November 11, 2015, respectively, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.

The following are 3 separate funds of the Trusts (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Trust    Diversification Classification
JPMorgan Macro Opportunities Fund(1)    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6(2)    JPM IV    Diversified
JPMorgan Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    JPM I    Non-Diversified
JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund    Class A, Class C and Class I(3)    JPM I    Diversified

 

(1) 

Commenced operations on April 15, 2020.

(2) 

Commenced operations on September 30, 2020.

(3) 

On July 2, 2020, Class L Shares were converted into Class I Shares. Additionally, as of July 2, 2020, Class L Shares are no longer offered.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Macro Opportunities Fund (“Macro Opportunities Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund (“Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund”) is to seek capital appreciation.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (“Research Market Neutral Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

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 and Class R6 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

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 (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Boards”), 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 their market value 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 Boards.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards 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 Boards. 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 Boards.

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

Table of Contents

 

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated.

Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

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

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”):

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, as amended (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 NAVs of the Funds.

As of October 31, 2021, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

Table of Contents

 

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.12% to 0.06%. For the year ended October 31, 2021, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:

 

Macro Opportunities Fund

   $ (a) 

 

(a)

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2021. Macro Opportunities Fund did not have any securities out on loan at October 31, 2021.

D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in an Underlying Fund, which is advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuer listed in the tables below to be an affiliated issuer. The Underlying Fund’s distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Fund. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

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 in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

F. Derivatives — The Funds used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with their respective investment strategies. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. Derivatives may also be used to effectively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio, manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Funds 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 potential lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a 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 Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

 
44         J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2021


Table of Contents

 

The Funds are party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Funds’ 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 Funds in the event the Funds’ net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Funds to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Funds often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. The ISDA agreements give the Funds and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.

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

Notes F(1) — F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.

(1). Options — Macro Opportunities Fund and Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund purchased and/or sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities, options on indices and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within their portfolios and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Funds for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Funds will lose the entire premium they paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Funds for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statements of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Funds is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Funds to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Funds are not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

The Funds’ exchange-traded option 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). The Funds’ over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are subject to master netting agreements.

The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for OTC options. Cash collateral posted by the Funds is considered restricted.

(2). Futures Contracts — Macro Opportunities Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund used index, interest rate and treasury futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also used index futures contracts to more effectively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio. The Funds also purchased futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts 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, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price and interest rate risks. The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The Funds’ 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).

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Macro Opportunities Fund is 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 the 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. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund also records a realized gain or loss, upon settlement, when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty.

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 Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Funds’ outstanding OTC options and non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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 Funds is held in a segregated account at the Funds’ custodian bank. For certain counterparties cash collateral posted by the Funds is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.F.), otherwise the cash collateral is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash for OTC derivatives. Collateral received by the Funds is held in a separate segregated account maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Funds.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2021 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

G. Short Sales — Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund engaged in short sales as part of their normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Funds sell securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Funds borrow securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Funds deliver the same securities to the broker.

The Funds are required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as Deposits at broker for securities sold short, while cash collateral deposited at the Funds’ custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net amounts of income or fees are included as interest income or interest expense on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds are obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statements of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. The Funds are obligated to pay the broker interest accrued on short positions while the position is outstanding. Interest expense on short positions is reported as Interest expense to non-affiliates on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the

Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Funds are also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Funds will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds replace the borrowed security. The Funds will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.

As of October 31, 2021, Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on their SOIs.

H. Offering and Organization Costs — Total offering costs of $21 paid in connection with the offering of shares of Macro Opportunities Fund are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time the Fund commenced operations. For the year ended October 31, 2021, total offering costs amortized were $10.

I. 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 and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

J. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the applicable funds. 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 are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2021 are as follows:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Class R6        Total

K. 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 (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 October 31, 2021, no liability for Federal 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. Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund’s and Research Market Neutral Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. When filed, Macro Opportunities Fund’s Federal tax return since inception will be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

L. Foreign Taxes The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

M. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

N. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts 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 Boards designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.

The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2021, Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were 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 LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended October 31, 2021.

The Trusts and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 31, 2022.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have 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 1.25%, which has decreased to 1.00% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the “Applicable Margin”), 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 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

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 brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2021, the following Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

        Number of
Individual
Shareholder
and/or
Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts
       % of the Fund        Number of
Individual
Shareholder
and/or
Non-Affiliated

       % of the Fund  

Macro Opportunities Fund

       1          89.4                

Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund

                         3          61.5  

Research Market Neutral Fund

                         2          38.0  

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

Macro Opportunities Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2021, a significant portion of the investments of Macro Opportunities Fund consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

As of October 31, 2021, the following Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments (excluding investment of cash collateral from securities loaned) as follows:

 

      Macro Opportunities Fund  

Japan

     22.4

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 possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses.

The Funds are also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Funds.

Since Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities.

As of October 31, 2021, Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund pledged substantially all of their assets to Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. for securities sold short. For the Funds, deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, are held at Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s investments and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for the periods indicated in the table below, and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(2)   Statement of changes in net assets for the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2021.

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 titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2021, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for the JPMorgan Macro Opportunities Fund, JPMorgan Opportunistic Equity Long Short Fund and JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund, whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2021.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk/ and performance return assessment as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel

to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

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 each Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

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 considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients. 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.

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 considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from

increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. 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 investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The special analysis includes a multi-factor quantitative scoring

system for summarizing a Fund’s historical investment performance. The approach relies on multiple metrics, incorporates several time periods, adjusts for risk and considers how a fund’s customized peer group (as selected by the Independent Consultant) has performed. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge 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 the performance of the Macro Opportunities Fund since its inception on April 15, 2020, as compared with that of its benchmark index. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and in the first quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first, second and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, for the one-, three-and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and in the first quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. 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 satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Research Market Neutral Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, second and second quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, 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 satisfactory.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Macro Opportunities Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class R6

shares were both in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the fourth quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were both in the third and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second quintile, based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Research Market Neutral Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were both in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were both in the first quintile based upon the Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December 6, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

Equity markets largely rewarded investors with strong returns amid a global economic rebound in 2021 that withstood the emergence and spread of Covid variants, strained supply chains and accelerating inflation. Despite uneven progress against the pandemic, continued monetary and fiscal support helped bolster corporate profits and consumer spending throughout the twelve months ended October 21, 2021.

“Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals.” — Andrea L. Lisher

While leading central banks maintain accommodative policies throughout the period, select emerging market nations – particularly Brazil — raised interest rates and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) laid out a potential timetable for winding down its asset purchasing program and raising interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic. While the Fed initially insisted that price inflation fueled by the reopening of the global economy would likely be temporary, by the end of the period Fed officials conceded that inflation was stronger and more persistent than expected.

By the end of the period – and in subsequent weeks – financial market volatility increased amid investor uncertainty about the ongoing pandemic and concerns about the potential for the Fed to move more quickly to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation. However, economic data point toward a continued rebound in the global economy into 2022.

Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals. We seek to maintain our focus on the needs of our clients and shareholders with the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Globally, equity markets outperformed fixed income markets by a wide margin amid a global economic rebound from the initial economic shock of the pandemic. While the development and distribution of multiple vaccines unleashed a sharp increase in economic activity in the first half of the period, uneven success against the pandemic, supply chain constraints and inflationary pressure weighed on growth in the latter part of the period. Overall, U.S. equity outperformed both developed market and emerging market equities.

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the S&P 500 returned 42.91%; the MSCI EAFE Index returned 34.18% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 16.96%. Within fixed income, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned -0.48%, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index returned 10.53% and the Bloomberg Emerging Markets Index returned 3.01% for the period.

At the start of the period, global equity prices began to rebound amid development of the first vaccines against COVID-19 and its leading variants. The rally in equity prices was largely led by investor demand for U.S. large cap stocks, particularly in the technology sector. Notably, emerging markets equity surged ahead of developed markets in December as China, Taiwan and other emerging market nations appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

While the global rally in equity markets appeared to take a pause in January 2021, equity prices surged higher from February through June 2021. In the U.S., the successful if uneven distribution of vaccines combined with a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal relief and recovery package — and the prospect of additional federal government spending — helped push leading equity indexes higher in the first half of 2021. Corporate earnings and cash flows reached record highs in the first quarter of 2021. Robust growth in consumer spending, business investments and manufacturing data added further fuel to the rally in U.S. equity markets.

In May, historically high valuations for U.S. equity fueled investor demand for higher returns elsewhere in both developed and emerging markets. However, the uneven distribution of vaccines, continued spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and disparities in the re-openings of national economies weighed on equity markets in June.

In the following months global economic growth was increasingly hindered by uneven progress against the pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks and rising prices for both commodities and finished goods. Energy prices rose sharply amid a rebound in demand, which helped petroleum exporting nations but weighed on the economies of net importers. Extended inflationary pressures led to modest divergence in central bank policies at the end of the period. Leading central banks maintained their ultra-low interest rate policies, while monetary authorities in select nations, including Brazil, Norway and New Zealand, raised rates to head off rising prices.

Global equity prices largely continued their upward trajectory in the final months of the period, with the exception of a modest retreat in September 2021. While developed markets equity and emerging markets equity generally provided positive returns, equity markets slumped in select nations facing political unrest and/or rapidly rising inflationary pressures. Notably, equity prices in China were weighed down by real estate company China Evergrande’s struggles to meet debt payments as investors worried about the potential impact on financial markets. Additionally, shares of large information technology companies in China were hurt by investor uncertainty over increased domestic regulatory scrutiny.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class L Shares)*      11.63%  
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      16.96%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $13,835,784  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its underweight position and security selection in the materials sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

By country, the Fund’s underweight position in Russia and its security selection in Brazil were leading detractors from relative performance. The Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Belarus and Singapore, which solely consisted of EPAM Systems Inc. and Sea Ltd., respectively, were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc., KE Holdings Inc. and Magazine Luiza SA. Shares of New Oriental Education & Technology Group, a Chinese provider of educational services, fell amid efforts by Chinese government regulators to tighten controls on private education providers. Shares of KE Holdings, a Chinese online platform provider for new and existing home sales, fell as China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments weighed on China’s real estate sector. Shares of Magazine Luiza, a Brazilian consumer goods retailer, fell amid the con-

tinued spread of COVID-19 in Brazil and the Brazilian central bank’s decision to sharply raise interest rates.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Sea Ltd. and EPAM Systems Inc., and its overweight position in Wuxi Biologics Inc. Shares of Sea, a Singapore internet and mobile platform provider, rose as the company continued to increase its market share during the period. Shares of EPAM Systems, a global provider of software development and digital platform services that largely operates from Belarus, rose amid several consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings during the period. Shares of Wuxi Biologics (Cayman), a Chinese developer of biological testing and drug research, rose amid increased demand for its products and services driven by the pandemic.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the security level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth.

As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest sector overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors and its largest relative underweight allocations were in the materials and energy sectors. The Fund’s largest country overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in China and India and its largest relative underweight allocations were in Taiwan and South Korea.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

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

Returns shown for Class R2 Shares and Class R3 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares and Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares and Class R3 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R4 Shares have higher expenses than Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class L Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class R6 Shares outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

By sector, the Fund’s security selections in the health care and financials sectors were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selections in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.

By country, the Fund’s security selections China and South Korea were leading contributors to relative performance, while the Fund’s security selections in India and Poland were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in TAL Education Group and its overweight positions in Yunnan Energy New Material Co. and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Shares of TAL Education Group, a Chinese provider of after-school tutoring services, fell amid efforts by Chinese government regulators to tighten controls on private education providers. Shares of Yunnan Energy New Material, a Chinese maker of electric vehicle battery materials, rose amid growth in domestic demand and investor expectations of accelerating U.S. adoption of electric vehicle technology due to proposed U.S. government incentives. Shares of Contemporary Amperex Technology, a Chinese batteries and energy storage systems maker, rose after the company reported its earnings more than doubled in the third quarter of 2021 amid surging sales.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. and Britannia Industries Ltd., and its underweight position in ICICI Bank Ltd. Shares of New Oriental Education & Technology Group, a Chinese provider of educational services, fell amid efforts by Chinese government regulators to tighten controls on private education providers. Shares of Britannia Industries, an Indian food manufacturer and distributor, fell amid disruptions in global supply chains. Shares of ICICI Bank, an Indian banking and financial services company, rose following several quarter of earnings growth during the period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a combination of a disciplined portfolio construction process with in-depth fundamental research into individual securities conducted by a global

network of research analysts to identify what they believed to be their relative value.

As a result of this process, by sector, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the energy and consumer staples sectors and its largest underweight allocations were in the industrials and materials sectors. By country, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in Mexico and South Africa and its largest relative underweight allocations were in Taiwan and Malaysia.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      44.26%  
MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      40.93%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $1,074,518  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s security selections and its overweight positions in both the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment and banks sectors were leading contributors to performance. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer durables & apparel sector and its overweight position in the retailing sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in ASM International NV, its out-of-Benchmark position in Bank of Ireland Group PLC and its underweight position in Unilever PLC. Shares of ASM International, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Bank of Ireland Group rose amid

investor expectation that the financials sector in general would benefit from a rebound in economic activity in 2021. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products company that was not held in the Fund, fell amid rising global costs for raw materials.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in ASML Holdings NV and Royal Dutch Shell PLC and its out-of-Benchmark position in Stillfront Group AB. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Royal Dutch Shell, a U.K. integrated oil and gas producer not held by the Fund, rose amid an increase in global energy prices. Shares of Stillfront Group, a Swedish digital game publisher, fell amid investor expectations for falling demand for video games as countries lifted pandemic social restrictions.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that attractively valued, high quality securities with positive momentum have the potential to outperform the market. During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers invested in securities that they believed had these style characteristics. Portfolio positions were based on bottom-up security selection rather than top-down asset allocation decisions.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund and the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted

market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of the developed markets in Europe. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% sales charge.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fund Commentary

Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Reporting Period Return:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      32.94%  
MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      34.18%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $4,845,717  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth and income. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s security selections in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s security selections in the information technology and health care sectors were leading contributors to relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark allocation to emerging markets and its overweight position in the U.K. were leading detractors from relative performance, while its security selection and underweight position in Japan and its security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its out-of-Benchmark position in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. and its underweight position in Roche Holding AG. Shares of both Alibaba Group

Holding, a Chinese electronic commerce conglomerate, and Tencent Holdings, a Chinese online platform provider, fell amid tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in China as well as broader investor concerns about China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments. Shares of Roche Holding, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for 2021.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASML Holding NV, Capgemini SE and ING Groep NV.

Shares of ASML Holding, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor sector. Shares of Capgemini, a French provider of technology consulting and outsourcing services, rose amid growth in revenue and earnings during the period. Shares of ING Groep, a Dutch banking and financial services company, rose amid better-than-expected results during the period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of companies with solid financial positions that possessed the potential to increase their earnings faster than their industry peers.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 3,920,288  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index, Ex-U.S. (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s security selection in the financials sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and information technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s underweight position in Canada and its security selection in emerging markets were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in Japan and its security selection in the Pacific Rim were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Kone Oyj. Shares of both Alibaba Group Holding, a Chinese electronic commerce conglomerate, and Tencent Holdings, a Chinese online platform

provider, fell amid tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in China as well as broader investor concerns about China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments. Shares of Kone, a Finnish manufacturer of elevators, escalators and automatic doors, fell after the company warned of rising costs and shortages of equipment parts.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in ASML Holding NV, Sea Ltd. and KBC Group NV. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Sea, a Singapore internet and mobile platform provider, rose as the company continued to increase its market share during the period. Shares of KBC Group, a Belgian banking and insurance provider, rose amid better-than-expected earnings during the period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

By harnessing their team’s global sector specialists, the Fund’s portfolio managers sought to build a high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic portfolio of growth, value and unique companies, whose future prospects, the portfolio managers believed, were under-appreciated by the market and thus possessed the potential to deliver higher-than-expected earnings that could have a positive effect on their share prices.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 152,776  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) and outperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021. The Fund’s options hedge allowed the Fund to generally perform as designed during the reporting period with about 57% of the Benchmark’s volatility.

The Fund’s security selection in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and health care sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

By country, the Fund’s security selection in Switzerland and Italy was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in Japan and the Netherlands was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Orsted A/S, Kao Corp. and Iberdrola SA. Shares of Orsted, a Danish renewable energy generator, fell after reporting weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue growth for the first half of the 2021. Shares of Kao, a Japanese consumer products and chemicals manufacturer, fell amid a decline in demand for cosmetics and household products in Japan due to the pandemic. Shares of Iberdrola, an electric utility based in Spain, fell after the Spanish government responded to surging domestic electricity prices by limiting profits of energy utilities.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASML Holdings NV, Capgemini SE and Novo Nordisk A/S. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Capgemini, a French provider of technology consulting and outsourcing services, rose amid growth in revenue and earnings during the period. Shares of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceuticals company, rose after the company reported earnings growth for the first quarter of 2021 and raised its 2021 forecast for earnings and revenue.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of companies with solid financial positions that possessed the potential to increase their earnings faster than their industry peers.

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 March 15, 2019.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index from March 15, 2019 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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 MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue

purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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 applicable 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The MSCI information may only be used for your internal use, may not be reproduced or redisseminated in any form and may not be used as a basis for or a component of any financial instruments or products or indices.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Research Enhanced Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s security selection in the semiconductors & hardware sector and in the banks sector was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the basic industries and utilities sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s security selection in Japan and security selection and overweight position in Europe, excluding the U.K., were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the U.K. and in the Pacific, excluding Japan, were the smallest contributors to relative performance.

Due to the Fund holding a relatively large number of securities during the reporting period, the impact of individual holdings on the Fund’s relative performance tended to be small.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Using the fundamental equity insights generated by analysts, the Fund’s portfolio managers took overweight positions in securities included within the universe of the Benchmark that they considered undervalued, while underweighting or not holding securities in the Benchmark that they considered overvalued.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class L Shares)*      46.77%  
MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      38.31%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $396,699  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s underweight positions in the utilities and consumer staples sectors were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s overweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the technology-software sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s security selection in Europe and the U.K. was a leading contributor to relative performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, was the leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in SoftBank Group Corp., Unilever PLC and Sanofi SA. Shares of SoftBank Group, a Japanese technology sector holding company not held in the Fund, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s

exposure to technology businesses in China. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products company note held in the Fund, fell amid the increasing costs of key commodities. Shares of Sanofi, a French pharmaceuticals maker not held in the Fund, underperformed amid efforts by the Biden administration to curb drug prices.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corp. Shares of Royal Dutch Shell, an integrated petroleum and natural gas provider, rose amid a sharp increase in global energy prices. Shares of Commonwealth Bank Australia, which were not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported strong earnings growth for fiscal 2021. Shares of Westpac Banking, an Australian bank and financial services company, rose amid earnings growth during the period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed behavioral-based and quantitative screens in addition to conducting fundamental analysis to seek out companies that they believed had attractive valuations. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the banks and insurance sectors, while the largest underweight positions were in the utilities and consumer staples sector.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111. Effective May 2018, some of the Fund’s investment strategies changed. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund was managed under the current strategies.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan International Value Fund and the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge.

The MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted

index that is designed to measure the performance of value-oriented stocks in the world’s equity markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class L Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

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.

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 (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Boards”), 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 their market value 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 Boards.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards 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 Boards. 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 Boards.

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/or 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 Boards. This may include the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated.

Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

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

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.

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, as amended (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 NAVs of the Funds.

As of October 31, 2021, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued

interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of October 31, 2021.

Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower.

**

Subsequent to October 31, 2021, additional collateral was received.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.12% to 0.06%. For the year ended October 31, 2021, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:

The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

International Hedged Equity Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2021.

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 in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes

recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

F. Derivatives — The Funds, except for Emerging Markets Equity Fund, used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with their respective investment strategies. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. Derivatives may also be used to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Funds 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 potential lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a 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 Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds are party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Funds’ 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 Funds in the event the Funds’ net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Funds to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Funds often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. The ISDA agreements give the Funds and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.

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

Notes F(1) — F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.

(1). Options — International Hedged Equity Fund purchased and sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities, options on indices and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statements of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

The Fund’s exchange-traded option 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). Futures Contracts — Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, Europe Dynamic Fund, International Equity Fund, International Hedged Equity Fund, International Research Enhanced Equity Fund and International Value Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also purchased futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts 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, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

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

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts—International Focus Fund is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of its 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. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund also records a realized gain or loss, upon settlement, when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty.

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 Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2021 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the applicable funds. 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 are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2021 are as follows:

J. 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 (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 October 31, 2021, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

As a result of several court rulings in certain European countries, the tax authorities of each of these countries, recently paid European Dynamic Fund (Finland & Sweden), International Equity Fund (Sweden), International Focus Fund (Finland), International Research Enhanced Equity Fund (Finland & Sweden) and International Value Fund (Finland, Spain & Sweden) tax reclaims for prior tax withholding. These tax reclaim payments are included in Foreign withholding tax reclaims on the Statements of Operations. Interest income, if any, related to these tax reclaim payments is included in Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

In the event that tax reclaims received by the Funds during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021 exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Funds for other foreign investments, and the Funds have previously passed foreign tax credits on to their shareholders, the Funds will have a U.S. tax liability. The Funds will enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to pay the associated tax liability (fees) on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. These IRS fees are estimated through the year ended October 31, 2021 and are included in IRS Compliance Fees for foreign withholding tax reclaims on the Statements of Operations, if applicable.

L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

M. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts 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 Boards designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.

The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2021, Europe Dynamic Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were 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 LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPM II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund at October 31, 2021. Average borrowings from the Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021 were as follows:

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 October 31, 2022.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have 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 1.25%, which has decreased to 1.00% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the “Applicable Margin”), 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 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.

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 brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2021, the following Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

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

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject each of these Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2021, a significant portion of each Fund’s investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

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 possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s investments and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Boards of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I, JPMorgan Trust II and JPMorgan Trust IV and Shareholders of JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Focus Fund, JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Research Enhanced Equity Fund and JPMorgan International Value Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Focus Fund and JPMorgan International Value Fund (five of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I), JPMorgan International Research Enhanced Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust II) and JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund and JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund (two of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust IV) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2021.

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 titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY 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 June and August 2021 at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2021.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessment as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their

consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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 each Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees

also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.

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 considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels,

was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer

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

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. 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 investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe

(the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The special analysis includes a multi-factor quantitative scoring system for summarizing a Fund’s historical investment performance. The approach relies on multiple metrics, incorporates several time periods, adjusts for risk and considers how a fund’s customized peer group (as selected by the independent consultant) has performed.

Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December 6, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

Equity markets largely rewarded investors with strong returns amid a global economic rebound in 2021 that withstood the emergence and spread of Covid variants, strained supply chains and accelerating inflation. Despite uneven progress against the pandemic, continued monetary and fiscal support helped bolster corporate profits and consumer spending throughout the twelve months ended October 21, 2021.

“Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals.” — Andrea L. Lisher

While leading central banks maintain accommodative policies throughout the period, select emerging market nations – particularly Brazil — raised interest rates and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) laid out a potential timetable for winding down its asset purchasing program and raising interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic. While the Fed initially insisted that price inflation fueled by the reopening of the global economy would likely be temporary, by the end of the period Fed officials conceded that inflation was stronger and more persistent than expected.

By the end of the period – and in subsequent weeks – financial market volatility increased amid investor uncertainty about the ongoing pandemic and concerns about the potential for the Fed to move more quickly to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation. However, economic data point toward a continued rebound in the global economy into 2022.

Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals. We seek to maintain our focus on the needs of our clients and shareholders with the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Globally, equity markets outperformed fixed income markets by a wide margin amid a global economic rebound from the initial economic shock of the pandemic. While the development and distribution of multiple vaccines unleashed a sharp increase in economic activity in the first half of the period, uneven success against the pandemic, supply chain constraints and inflationary pressure weighed on growth in the latter part of the period. Overall, U.S. equity outperformed both developed market and emerging market equities.

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the S&P 500 returned 42.91%; the MSCI EAFE Index returned 34.18% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 16.96%. Within fixed income, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned -0.48%, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index returned 10.53% and the Bloomberg Emerging Markets Index returned 3.01% for the period.

At the start of the period, global equity prices began to rebound amid development of the first vaccines against COVID-19 and its leading variants. The rally in equity prices was largely led by investor demand for U.S. large cap stocks, particularly in the technology sector. Notably, emerging markets equity surged ahead of developed markets in December as China, Taiwan and other emerging market nations appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

While the global rally in equity markets appeared to take a pause in January 2021, equity prices surged higher from February through June 2021. In the U.S., the successful if uneven distribution of vaccines combined with a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal relief and recovery package — and the prospect of additional federal government spending — helped push leading equity indexes higher in the first half of 2021. Corporate earnings and cash flows reached record highs in the first quarter of 2021. Robust growth in consumer spending, business investments and manufacturing data added further fuel to the rally in U.S. equity markets.

In May, historically high valuations for U.S. equity fueled investor demand for higher returns elsewhere in both developed and emerging markets. However, the uneven distribution of vaccines, continued spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and disparities in the re-openings of national economies weighed on equity markets in June.

In the following months global economic growth was increasingly hindered by uneven progress against the pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks and rising prices for both commodities and finished goods. Energy prices rose sharply amid a rebound in demand, which helped petroleum exporting nations but weighed on the economies of net importers. Extended inflationary pressures led to modest divergence in central bank policies at the end of the period. Leading central banks maintained their ultra-low interest rate policies, while monetary authorities in select nations, including Brazil, Norway and New Zealand, raised rates to head off rising prices.

Global equity prices largely continued their upward trajectory in the final months of the period, with the exception of a modest retreat in September 2021. While developed markets equity and emerging markets equity generally provided positive returns, equity markets slumped in select nations facing political unrest and/or rapidly rising inflationary pressures. Notably, equity prices in China were weighed down by real estate company China Evergrande’s struggles to meet debt payments as investors worried about the potential impact on financial markets. Additionally, shares of large information technology companies in China were hurt by investor uncertainty over increased domestic regulatory scrutiny.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      41.22%  
S&P 500 Index      42.91%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $1,439,313  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high after-tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s security selection in the financial services sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s overweight position and security selection in the big banks & brokers sector and its underweight position in the consumer stable sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Amazon.com Inc., Union Pacific Corp. and Stanley Black & Decker Inc. Shares of Amazon.com, a provider of online retail shopping and related services, fell late in the period after reporting lower-than-expected earnings and revenue and issued a weaker-than-expected forecast for the fourth quarter of 2021. Shares of Union Pacific, a freight railroad operator, fell late in the period amid investor concerns about supply chain disruptions. Shares of Stanley Black & Decker, a power tools and accessories manufacturer, fell after the company warned that inflation and supply chain disruptions would increase operating costs in 2022.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Alphabet Inc., Eli Lilly & Co. and ASML Holding NV. Shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, Inc., rose amid general investor demand for shares of large technology companies. Shares of Eli Lilly, a pharmaceuticals company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenue — largely due to COVID-19 drug sales — for the third quarter of 2021. Shares of ASML Holding, a maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security

selection, researching companies to determine what the portfolio managers believed to be the companies’ underlying value and potential for future earnings growth.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund and the S&P 500 Index from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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

The Tax Aware strategy seeks to minimize shareholders’ tax liability in connection with the Fund’s distribution of realized capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will minimize or eliminate such tax liability.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares, with the exception of returns noted above as returns after taxes.

Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

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.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $565,834  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares had a positive absolute return and outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index (the “Benchmark”) and underperformed the Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

The Fund’s hedge against inflation, which was implemented through the use of swaps contracts, was a leading contributor to absolute performance as the U.S. economic rebound, bolstered by stimulus spending and ongoing vaccination efforts, led to rising prices generally and sharp increases in energy prices during the period. The Bloomberg Inflation Swap 5-Year Zero Coupon Index returned 10.40% for the period.

Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s underweight allocations to the housing and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight allocations to state general obligation bonds and pre-refunded bonds and its overweight allocation to single-A rated bonds were leading contributors to relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Among the Fund’s tax-exempt fixed income investments, the Fund employed a bottom-up, security-selection-based investment approach and sought to take advantage of opportunities stemming from increased volatility, supply pressures and headline credit risk. The Fund maintained its bias to high quality debt securities, as the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred higher quality issuances. The Fund’s portfolio managers also maintained an inflation-overlay hedging strategy, using zero coupon inflation linked swaps (“inflation swaps”) to purchase protection against inflation along the yield curve. The yield

curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds at a given point in time.

During the period, the Fund’s portfolio managers increased the aggregate amount of hedged positions to 94% of the portfolio from 89% at the start of the period.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund uses inflation swaps in combination with tax-exempt municipal bonds to seek to replicate a portfolio of inflation protected securities. The Fund is designed to protect the total return generated by its tax-exempt fixed income holdings from inflation risk. The inflation swaps used by the Fund are based on cumulative percentage movements in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The inflation swaps are structured so that one counterparty agrees to pay the cumulative percentage change in the CPI-U over the duration of the swap. The other counterparty (the Fund) pays a compounded fixed rate (zero coupon inflation-swap rate), which is based on the “breakeven inflation rate,” calculated as the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security of equal maturity.

The Fund’s portfolio managers aim to protect the portfolio from inflation risk across maturities. Therefore, the yield curve positioning of the underlying bonds is used as the general basis for the Fund’s inflation swap positioning. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that matching the duration of the inflation protection to the duration of the underlying bonds is the most effective and efficient way to protect the portfolio from both actual realized inflation as well as the loss of value that results from an increase in inflation expectations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. However, the inflation protection is actively managed, and the Fund’s portfolio managers may elect to deviate from the curve positioning of the underlying bonds as a result of opportunities that may result from macroeconomic or technical factors.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

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 (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversification Classification
JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified
JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified

The investment objective of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (“Tax Aware Equity Fund”) is to seek to provide high after-tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (“Tax Aware Real Return Fund”) is to seek to maximize after-tax inflation protected 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 and Class R6 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

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 (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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 their market value 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 Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.

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

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 (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.

Table of Contents

 

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”):

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, as amended (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 NAVs of the Funds.

As of October 31, 2021, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments Tax Aware Real Return purchased when-issued 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 Fund 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.

Tax Aware Real Return had when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities or forward commitments outstanding as of October 31, 2021, which are shown as a Receivable for Investment securities sold — delayed delivery securities and a Payable for Investment securities purchased — delayed delivery securities, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The values of these securities held at October 31, 2021 are detailed on the SOIs.

D. Securities Lending The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

The Funds did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2021.

E. Investment Transactions with Affiliates The Funds invested in Underlying Funds, which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

F. Futures Contracts Tax Aware Real Return 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 futures contracts 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, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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).

G. Swaps  Tax Aware Real Return Fund engaged in various swap transactions to manage interest rate (e.g., duration, yield curve) and inflation risks within its portfolio. The Fund also used swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are contracts negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC swaps”) between the fund and a counterparty or are centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) through a central clearinghouse managed by a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) that exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.

Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund 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, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 swaps 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 central clearinghouse acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction; therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearinghouse.

Inflation-Linked Swaps

Tax Aware Real Return Fund used inflation-linked swaps to provide inflation protection within its portfolio. These are agreements between counterparties to exchange interest payments based on interest rates over the life of the swap. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon the Consumer Price Index upon while the other is a pre-determined fixed interest rate. The use of swaps exposes the Fund to interest rate risk.

For the period November 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020.

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds. 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 are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2021 are as follows:

 

        Class A        Class C      Class I        Class R6        Total

J. 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 (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 October 31, 2021, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Distributions to Shareholders Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly for Tax Aware Equity Fund and declared and paid at least monthly for Tax Aware Real Return Fund. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.

L. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

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 year ended October 31, 2021, Tax Aware Real Return Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund at October 31, 2021. Average borrowings from the Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021 were as follows:

 

        Average
Borrowings
       Average

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

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 October 31, 2022.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 1.25%, which has decreased to 1.00% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the “Applicable Margin”), 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 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

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 brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2021, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

        Number of

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. The Funds may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Funds’ yield (and total return) also may be low or the Funds may be unable to maintain positive returns. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of a Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.

Tax Aware Real Return Fund invests primarily 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 Fund’s 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.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s investments and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2021.

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 titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2021, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2021.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessment as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consid-

eration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

Table of Contents

 

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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 each Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase

Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.

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 considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. 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 investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The special analysis includes a multi-factor quantitative scoring system for summarizing a Fund’s historical investment performance. The approach relies on multiple metrics, incorporates several time periods, adjusts for risk and considers how a fund’s customized peer group (as selected by the independent consultant) has performed. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge 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 Equity Fund’s performance for both Class A and Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees noted that performance for Class R6 shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analyses and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, fourth and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group, for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020, and in the third, third and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class R6 shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and in the third, second and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the 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 satisfactory, under the circumstances.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity 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 third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively.

The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were both in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second and first 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 satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fifth 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 and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the fifth 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 satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December 6, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

Equity markets largely rewarded investors with strong returns amid a global economic rebound in 2021 that withstood the emergence and spread of Covid variants, strained supply chains and accelerating inflation. Despite uneven progress against the pandemic, continued monetary and fiscal support helped bolster corporate profits and consumer spending throughout the twelve months ended October 21, 2021.

“Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals.” — Andrea L. Lisher

While leading central banks maintain accommodative policies throughout the period, select emerging market nations – particularly Brazil — raised interest rates and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) laid out a potential timetable for winding down its asset purchasing program and raising interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic. While the Fed initially insisted that price inflation fueled by the reopening of the global economy would likely be temporary, by the end of the period Fed officials conceded that inflation was stronger and more persistent than expected.

By the end of the period – and in subsequent weeks – financial market volatility increased amid investor uncertainty about the ongoing pandemic and concerns about the potential for the Fed to move more quickly to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation. However, economic data point toward a continued rebound in the global economy into 2022.

Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals. We seek to maintain our focus on the needs of our clients and shareholders with the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. 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

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Globally, equity markets outperformed fixed income markets by a wide margin amid a global economic rebound from the initial economic shock of the pandemic. While the development and distribution of multiple vaccines unleashed a sharp increase in economic activity in the first half of the period, uneven success against the pandemic, supply chain constraints and inflationary pressure weighed on growth in the latter part of the period. Overall, U.S. equity outperformed both developed market and emerging market equities.

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the S&P 500 returned 42.91%; the MSCI EAFE Index returned 34.18% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 16.96%. Within fixed income, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned -0.48%, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index returned 10.53% and the Bloomberg Emerging Markets Index returned 3.01% for the period.

At the start of the period, global equity prices began to rebound amid development of the first vaccines against COVID-19 and its leading variants. The rally in equity prices was largely led by investor demand for U.S. large cap stocks, particularly in the technology sector. Notably, emerging markets equity surged ahead of developed markets in December as China, Taiwan and other emerging market nations appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

While the global rally in equity markets appeared to take a pause in January 2021, equity prices surged higher from February through June 2021. In the U.S., the successful if uneven distribution of vaccines combined with a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal relief and recovery package—and the prospect of additional federal government spending – helped push leading equity indexes higher in the first half of 2021. Corporate earnings and cash flows reached record highs in the first quarter of 2021. Robust growth in consumer spending, business investments and manufacturing data added further fuel to the rally in U.S. equity markets.

In May, historically high valuations for U.S. equity fueled investor demand for higher returns elsewhere in both developed and emerging markets. However, the uneven distribution of vaccines, continued spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and disparities in the re-openings of national economies weighed on equity markets in June.

In the following months global economic growth was increasingly hindered by uneven progress against the pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks and rising prices for both commodities and finished goods. Energy prices rose sharply amid a rebound in demand, which helped petroleum exporting nations but weighed on the economies of net importers. Extended inflationary pressures led to modest divergence in central bank policies at the end of the period. Leading central banks maintained their ultra-low interest rate policies, while monetary authorities in select nations, including Brazil, Norway and New Zealand, raised rates to head off rising prices.

Global equity prices largely continued their upward trajectory in the final months of the period, with the exception of a modest retreat in September 2021. While developed markets equity and emerging markets equity generally provided positive returns, equity markets slumped in select nations facing political unrest and/or rapidly rising inflationary pressures. Notably, equity prices in China were weighed down by real estate company China Evergrande’s struggles to meet debt payments as investors worried about the potential impact on financial markets. Additionally, shares of large information technology companies in China were hurt by investor uncertainty over increased domestic regulatory scrutiny.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      24.96%  
MSCI All Country World Index1      37.28%  
MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      40.42%  
Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged USD) (formerly known as Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged USD))      (1.24)%  
Global Allocation Composite Benchmark      20.93%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $5,122,597  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize long-term total return.

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

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) and outperformed the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged USD) and the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark (the “Composite Benchmark”), which consists of 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index.

Relative to the Benchmark, which is an all-equity index, the Fund’s overall underweight position in equity detracted from

performance. The Fund’s allocation to U.S. equity was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark.

Relative to the Composite Benchmark, the Fund’s allocation to U.S. equity and its tilt toward cyclically oriented equities, including the financials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, were leading contributors to performance. The Fund’s allocation to government bonds was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Composite Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers increased their overall equity allocation, preferring U.S. equity and international developed equity. The portfolio managers maintained the Fund’s allocation to corporate credit and continued to hold non-U.S. government bonds and U.S. Treasury futures.

 

 

 

1    On November 30, 2020, the MSCI All Country World Index replaced the MSCI World Index as the Fund’s benchmark index and as a component of the Fund’s Composite Index to better reflect the Fund’s global asset allocation mandate. The MSCI All Country World Index includes emerging markets while the MSCI World Index does not.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date, month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

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

Returns for Class R3 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R3 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R4 Shares have higher expenses than Class I Shares.

 

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund, the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index – (Unhedged USD) and the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index – (Unhedged USD) and the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark do not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.

free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Global Allocation Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that includes 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged USD). The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index – (Unhedged USD) provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund through May 30, 2013, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

Effective November 30, 2020, the Fund’s benchmark changed from the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) to the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) to better reflect how the Fund is managed for comparison purposes.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.

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

For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and underperformed the Income Builder Composite Benchmark (the “Composite Benchmark”), which is comprised of 60% MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index.

The Fund’s allocations to government bonds was the leading detractor from performance relative to the MSCI World Index, which is an equity index and holds no bonds.

Relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, which primarily contains U.S. government bonds, the Fund’s allocations to a diversified set of equities contributed to performance.

Relative to the Composite Index, the Fund’s overall underweight allocation to developed markets equity detracted from performance, while the Fund’s allocation to U.S. equity and its tilt toward cyclically oriented sectors, including the financials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, contributed to relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the period, the Fund’s portfolio managers increased the Fund’s allocation to equities and preferred equity securities. The Fund largely maintained its credit allocation to participate in the global economic recovery from the pandemic as financial conditions remained easy. The portfolio managers also sought to balance credit allocations with more conservative exposures, including U.S. Treasury futures.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Income Builder Fund, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and the Income Builder Composite Benchmark from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and the Income Builder Composite Benchmark do not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) assumes the dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate

Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The Income Builder Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that includes 60% MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

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 (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversification Classification
JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6    Diversified
JPMorgan Income Builder Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified

The investment objective of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund (“Global Allocation Fund”) is to seek to maximize long-term total return.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (“Income Builder Fund”) is to seek to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

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 (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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 their market value 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 Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and/or 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 the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for 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.

Table of Contents

 

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated.

Investments in open-end investment companies, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures contracts and options 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 the Funds at October 31, 2021.

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”):

The changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at October 31, 2021, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3), amounted to $24,037. This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

There were no significant transfers into or out of level 3 for the year ended October 31, 2021.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ investments are listed below. 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 enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

The table above does not include certain level 3 investments that are valued by brokers and Pricing Services. At October 31, 2021, the value of these investments was $26,824. The inputs for these investments are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2.A.

(a)

Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

(b)

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

(c)

Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account such multiples when pricing the investments.

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, as amended (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 NAVs of the Funds.

As of October 31, 2021, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Loan Assignments — The Funds invested 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 it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its 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 claims by their 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 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.

Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described under Note 7.

D. Unfunded Commitments — The Funds entered into commitments to buy and sell investments including commitments to buy loan assignments to settle on future dates as part of their normal investment activities. Unfunded commitments may include revolving loan facilities which may obligate the Funds to provide cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related loan assignment (Note 2.C.). The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation/depreciation from unfunded commitments is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any difference between the sales price and current value of the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to buy to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. The Funds may receive an ongoing commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying loan facility, which is recorded as a component of Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

At October 31, 2021, Income Builder Fund had the following loan commitments outstanding in which all or a portion of the commitment was unfunded which could be extended at the options of the borrower:

E. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — The Funds purchased when-issued 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 may be required to post or receive collateral for delayed delivery securities in the form of cash or securities under a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement with the counterparties (each, an “MSFTA”). The collateral requirements are generally calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for a Fund’s transactions under the MSFTA and comparing that amount to the value of the collateral pledged by a fund and the counterparty. Daily movement of cash collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Collateral posted by a Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian bank and is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash. Collateral received by the Funds is held in a separate segregated account maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan. These amounts are not reflected on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds had when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities or forward commitments outstanding as of October 31, 2021, which are shown as a Payable for Investment securities purchased — delayed delivery securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The values of these securities held at October 31, 2021 are detailed on the SOIs.

F. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of October 31, 2021.

*

Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.12% to 0.06%. For the year ended October 31, 2021, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:

The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

H. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

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 in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

I. Derivatives — The Funds used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps in connection with their respective investment strategies. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. Derivatives may also be used to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets.

The Funds 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 potential lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a 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 Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds are party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Funds’ 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 Funds in the event the Funds’ net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Funds to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Funds often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. The ISDA agreements give the Funds and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.

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

Notes I(1) — I(4) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.

(1). Options — Global Allocation Fund purchased and/or sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities, and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statements of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

The Funds pledge collateral to the counterparty in the form of securities for options written. Securities designated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs.

 

 
150         J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2021


Table of Contents

 

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

The Fund’s exchange-traded option 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). Futures Contracts — The Funds used currency, index, interest rate, treasury or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to particular countries or regions. The Funds 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 Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts 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, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks. The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The Funds’ 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).

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Global Allocation Fund is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of its portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of its 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. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund also records a realized gain or loss, upon settlement, when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty.

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 Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

(4). Swaps — Global Allocation Fund engaged in various swap transactions to manage total return risks within its portfolio. The Fund also used swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are contracts negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC swaps”) between the fund and a counterparty or are centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) through a central clearinghouse managed by a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) that exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.

Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund 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, while cash

deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 swaps 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 Fund’s OTC swap contracts are subject to master netting arrangements.

Total Return Basket Swaps

Global Allocation Fund entered into total return basket swap agreements to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities. This is a highly specialized activity.

Under the terms of the agreement, each swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and/or short equity positions. This means that the Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within each swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. Each swap value also includes interest charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within each swap. These interest charges and credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread and are referred to herein as “financing costs” and net dividends. Positions within each swap, accrued financing costs and net dividends, are part of the periodic reset. During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing costs become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the swap counterparty are recorded as Due from/to counterparty on swap contract on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and as Net realized gain (loss) on transactions from swaps on the Statements of Operations.

Each swap involves additional risks than if the Fund had invested in the underlying positions directly including: the risk that changes in the value of each swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying long and short securities; counterparty risk related to the counterparty’s failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for each swap contract, which may limit the ability of the Fund to close out its positions; and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. The total return basket swaps consists of securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities. The Fund’s activities in each total return basket swap are concentrated with one counterparty. Investing in swaps results in a form of leverage (i.e., the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities).

The value of each swap is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing prices on the principal exchange on which the underlying securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends; (iv) cash balances within the swap and/or other receivables (payables) from gains/(losses) realized when the swap resets; and (v) other factors, as applicable. The value of each swap is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Outstanding swap contracts, at value. Changes in the value of the swap are recognized as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swaps on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Funds’ outstanding options, non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts and/or OTC swap contracts 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 Funds is held in a segregated account at the Funds’ custodian bank. For certain counterparties cash collateral posted by the Funds is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.F.), otherwise the cash collateral is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash for OTC derivatives. Collateral received by the Funds is held in a separate segregated account maintained by JPMCB, an affiliate of the Funds. These amounts are not reflected on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are disclosed in the table below.

Global Allocation Fund’s derivative contracts collateral requirements and collateral posted or received by counterparty as of October 31, 2021 are as follows:

     $ 2,250        $ (2,520

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2021 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

J. Equity-Linked Notes — Income Builder Fund invested in Equity-Linked Notes (“ELNs”). These are hybrid instruments which combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. ELNs’ values are linked to the performance of an underlying index. ELNs are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. ELNs are valued daily, under procedures adopted by the Board of JPM I, based on values provided by an approved pricing source. These notes have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations. Changes in the market value of ELNs are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when an ELN is sold or matures, which is recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on transactions from investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

As of October 31, 2021, Income Builder Fund had outstanding ELNs as listed on the SOI.

K. Short Sales — Global Allocation Fund engaged in short sales as part of its normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund delivers the same securities to the broker.

The Fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as Deposits at broker for securities sold short, while cash collateral deposited at the Fund’s custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net amounts of income or fees are included as interest income or interest expense on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations.

The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statements of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay the broker interest accrued on short positions while the position is outstanding. Interest expense on short positions is reported as Interest expense

to non-affiliates on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Fund will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.

As of October 31, 2021, Global Allocation Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on its SOI.

L. 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 and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend. 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 Funds. These amounts are included in Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

M. 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 applicable funds. 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 are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2021 are as follows:

 

      Class A      Class C      Class I      Class R2      Class R3     Class R4     Class R5     Class R6      Total

(a)

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

N. 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 (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 October 31, 2021, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

O. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

P. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least monthly for Income Builder Fund and declared and paid at least quarterly for Global Allocation Fund. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.

Q. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Global Allocation Fund

     0.55

Income Builder Fund

     0.42  

The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to each Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the effective rate was 0.07% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMCB 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”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares of each fund do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R3

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. Pursuant to such contracts, 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.F.

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.

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

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

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

 

        Class A      Class C      Class I      Class R2      Class R3      Class R4      Class R5      Class R6

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2021 were as follows:

 

Global Allocation Fund

   $ 316  

Income Builder Fund

     567  

G. 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 designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with 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.

*

The tax cost includes the proceeds from short sales which may result in a net negative cost.

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to investments in debt instruments, investments in futures contracts, investments in PFICs, investments in forward foreign currency contacts and wash sale loss deferrals.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended October 31, 2021.

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 October 31, 2022.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 1.25%, which has decreased to 1.00% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the “Applicable Margin”), 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 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

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 brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2021, the following Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

        Number of Individual
Shareholder and/or
Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts
       % of the Fund        Number of Individual
Shareholder and/or
Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts
       % of the Fund  

Global Allocation Fund

                       2          21.7

Income Builder Fund

       1          16.7          3          32.8  

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

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

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

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. The Funds may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Funds’ yield (and total return) also may be low or the Funds may be unable to maintain positive returns. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of a Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.

The Funds invest in high yield securities that are not rated or rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). These securities are considered to be high risk investments. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The market price of these securities can change suddenly and unexpectedly. As a result, the Funds are intended for investors who are able and willing to assume a high degree of risk.

Global Allocation Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2021, a significant portion of each Fund’s investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

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 possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Funds do not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

The Funds are also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Funds.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s investments and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund and JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (two of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2021.

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 titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

 

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 June and August 2021, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for each Fund and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which the Funds may invest (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2021.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (“independent consultant”). In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessment as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees

reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. 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

 

 

 
168         J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2021


Table of Contents

 

also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to each Fund and Underlying Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to each Fund and Underlying Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund and Underlying Fund.

Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund and Underlying Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to each Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser and the Adviser, earn fees from each Fund and/or Underlying Funds for providing shareholder and administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services for each Fund and/or Underlying Funds.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.

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 considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems,

technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for each Fund in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of each Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge methodology for selecting mutual

funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 each Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared for the certain Funds by the independent consultant. The special analysis includes a multi-factor quantitative scoring system for summarizing a Fund’s historical investment performance. The approach relies on multiple metrics, incorporates several time periods, adjusts for risk and considers how a fund’s customized peer group (as selected by the independent consultant) has performed. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge 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 Global Allocation Fund’s performance for both Class A and Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020.. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and the Universe, for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020. 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 satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Income Builder Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, third and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, fourth and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class I shares was in the third, second and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, fourth and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and in the fourth quintile based upon the Universe, for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020. 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Global Allocation Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for

Class I shares was in the second 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. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the Income Builder Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were both in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December 6, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

Equity markets largely rewarded investors with strong returns amid a global economic rebound in 2021 that withstood the emergence and spread of Covid variants, strained supply chains and accelerating inflation. Despite uneven progress against the pandemic, continued monetary and fiscal support helped bolster corporate profits and consumer spending throughout the twelve months ended October 21, 2021.

“Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals.” — Andrea L. Lisher

While leading central banks maintain accommodative policies throughout the period, select emerging market nations – particularly Brazil — raised interest rates and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) laid out a potential timetable for winding down its asset purchasing program and raising interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic. While the Fed initially insisted that price inflation fueled by the reopening of the global economy would likely be temporary, by the end of the period Fed officials conceded that inflation was stronger and more persistent than expected.

By the end of the period – and in subsequent weeks – financial market volatility increased amid investor uncertainty about the ongoing pandemic and concerns about the potential for the Fed to move more quickly to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation. However, economic data point toward a continued rebound in the global economy into 2022.

Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals. We seek to maintain our focus on the needs of our clients and shareholders with the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Reporting Period Return:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      5.48%  
J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified      4.41%  
Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Composite Benchmark**      3.54%  
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands)      $605,982  
Duration as of 10/31/2021      6.2 years  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Emerging markets debt generally provided positive returns but continued to underperform emerging markets equity throughout the period. Within emerging markets, U.S. dollar-denominated debt largely outperformed local currency debt.

The economic rebound from 2020 unleashed a surge in global demand for commodities that helped bolster prices for emerging markets debt. Additionally, low yields on developed market sovereign debt fueled investor appetite for higher yields in emerging markets. However, investors began to pivot away from the highest yielding emerging markets debt halfway through the period.

Generally, emerging markets debt returns narrowed in the second half of the period amid uneven progress against the pandemic, inflationary pressure and investor concerns over the growth outlook for China’s economy. While stronger commodities prices supported debt prices in select emerging markets nations, accelerating inflation and supply chain disruptions had acute economic impacts that weighed on sovereign debt in particular across emerging markets.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares had a positive performance and outperformed both the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (the “Index”) and the Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Composite Benchmark (the “Composite Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.

Relative to the Index, the Fund’s country allocations and overall security selection were leading contributors to performance.

The Fund’s allocation to U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market sovereign and corporate bonds also contributed to relative performance. At the country level, the Fund’s positions in Mexico and Peru helped performance in the period. Mexico’s economy benefited from rising global oil and gas prices, while Peruvian bonds rebounded during the period amid rising prices for copper, its leading export. The Fund’s exposure to Ethiopia and Turkey detracted from relative performance amid an expanding civil war in Ethiopia’s Tigray region and decline in the relative value of the Turkish lira.

The Fund’s positioning in local currency sovereign bonds detracted from performance, notably bonds issued by Kazakhstan, Brazil and Chile. Bonds in Kazakhstan were hurt by accelerating inflation, while central banks in both Brazil and Chile raised interest rates significantly, which hurt local currency bonds.

Relative to the Composite Benchmark, the Fund’s allocation to U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt contributed to performance, while the Fund’s allocation to local currency-denominated debt detracted from performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the period, the Fund’s portfolio managers maintained a shorter duration position relative to the Index. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with longer duration will experience a larger increase or decrease in price as interest rates fall or rise, respectively, versus bonds with shorter duration.

The Fund also increased its position in U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign bonds and maintained smaller allocations to U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt and local currency-denominated bonds.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (6/29/12 TO 10/31/21)

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. Effective September 30, 2016, some of the Fund’s investment strategies changed. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund were managed using the current strategies.

The Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2012.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Fund, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified and Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Composite Benchmark from June 29, 2012 to October 31, 2021. 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 J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified and the Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Composite Benchmark do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. By contrast, the performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of fund expenses, including sales charges if applicable. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified tracks total returns for U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities: Brady

bonds and Eurobonds. The diversified index limits the exposure of some of the larger countries. The Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Composite Benchmark is comprised of unmanaged indices that include an equally weighted average of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified, J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified and the J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (CEMBI) Broad Diversified. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversification
Classification
JPMorgan Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5(1) and Class R6    Diversified

 

(1) 

Liquidated on December 7, 2020.

The investment objective of the 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, Class R2 and Class R6 Shares. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

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 Fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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 their market value 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 Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Fund’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and/or 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 the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for 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.

Table of Contents

 

Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s net asset values (“NAV”) per share as of the report date.

Futures contracts and options 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.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

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

 

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

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”):

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 NAVs of the Fund.

As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Securities Lending — The Fund is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Fund is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund retains the interest earned on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Fund). Upon termination of a loan, the Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.

The Fund bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

The Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2021.

D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Fund invested in an Underlying Fund, which is advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the issuer listed in the table below to be an affiliated issuer. The Underlying Fund’s’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Fund. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amount in the table below.

Investment in an affiliated fund, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

(b)

The rate shown is the current yield as of October 31, 2021.

E. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

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

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.

F. Derivatives — The Fund used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts, 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.

 

 
28         J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2021


Table of Contents

 

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 potential 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 its value, as recorded on the Statement 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 may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements give the Fund and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.

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

Notes F(1) — F(4) below describe the various derivatives used by the Fund.

(1). Options — The Fund purchased and/or sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities, options on indices and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statement of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statement of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

The Fund’s over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are subject to master netting agreements.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for OTC options. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is considered restricted.

(2). Futures Contracts — The Fund used interest rate and 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 futures contracts on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statement of Operations at the closing or

expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

The 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).

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund is 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 the 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. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund also records a realized gain or loss, upon settlement, when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty.

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 Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

(4). Swaps — The Fund engaged in various swap transactions to manage credit and interest rate (e.g., duration, yield curve) within its portfolio. The Fund also used swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are contracts negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC swaps”) between the Fund and a counterparty or are centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) through a central clearinghouse managed by a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) that exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.

Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund are recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively, on the Statement 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 Statement 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 SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement 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 Statement 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 swaps on the Statement 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 central clearinghouse acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction; therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearinghouse.

Credit Default Swaps

The Fund entered into credit default swaps to simulate long and/or short bond positions or to take an active long and/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 the 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 Statement 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.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Fund entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage fund exposure to interest rates or to either preserve or generate a return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio. These are agreements between counterparties to exchange periodic interest payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate, while the other is typically based on a fixed interest rate.

For the period February 1, 2021 through October 31, 2021.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding OTC options, non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts and/or OTC swap contracts 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.F.), otherwise the cash collateral is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash for OTC derivatives. Collateral received by the Fund is held in a separate segregated account maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund. These amounts are not reflected on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are disclosed in the table below.

The Fund’s derivative contracts collateral requirements and collateral posted or received by counterparty as of October 31, 2021 are as follows:

 

Fund Counterparty            Value of swap contracts        Collateral
amount
 

BNP Paribas

   Collateral Received      $        $ (1,080

The Fund’s derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2021 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

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 the Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds. 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.

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

I. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2021, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

J. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

K. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least 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 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

        Paid-in-Capital       

Accumulated

undistributed

(distributions in
excess of)

net investment

income

      

Accumulated

net realized

gains (losses)

 
     $ (9      $ 1,429        $ (1,420

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to investments in swaps and foreign currency gains or losses.

L. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Fund’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the effective rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

JPMCB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

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

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. For performing these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.

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

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

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

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2021 was $19.

G. 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 Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

4. Investment Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2021, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

 

      Purchases
(excluding U.S.
Government)
       Sales
(excluding U.S.
Government)
 
   $ 677,653        $ 330,155  

During the year ended October 31, 2021, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at October 31, 2021 were as follows:

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund at October 31, 2021. Average borrowings from the Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021 were as follows:

 

        Average
Borrowings
       Average
Interest
Rate Paid
       Number of
Days
Outstanding
       Interest
Paid
 
     $ 5,405          0.82        8        $ 1  

The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 31, 2022.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 1.25%, which has decreased to 1.00% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the “Applicable Margin”), 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 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.

The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had three individual shareholder and/or affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 38.4% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

As of October 31, 2021, JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows:

 

        JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds
       JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Blend Funds
 
       67.2        28.2

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity.

The Fund’s investments in sovereign and corporate debt obligations within emerging market countries may be subject to potentially higher risks than investments in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The yields of emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The consequences of political, social or economic instability in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of the Fund’s investments and the income they generate, as well as the Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.

The Fund is subject to the risk that, should the Fund decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems to be representative of its value, the value of the Fund’s net assets could be adversely affected.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Fund invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate investments may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low or the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.

The Fund invests in high yield securities that are not rated or rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). These securities are considered to be high risk investments. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The market price of these securities can change suddenly and unexpectedly. As a result, the Fund is intended for investors who are able and willing to assume a high degree of risk.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments (excluding investment of cash

collateral from securities loaned) as follows:

 

Mexico

     10.8

As of October 31, 2021, a significant portion of the Fund’s investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

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 Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain of the Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Fund’s investments and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Fund is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Fund’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

8. Subsequent Events

At its meeting held on November 17, 2021, the Board approved a change to the Fund’s fiscal year end from October 31st to the last day of February, which will be effective on February 28, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and Shareholders of JPMorgan Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Emerging Markets Strategic Debt Fund (one of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2021.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

 

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 June and August 2021, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2021.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund received from the Adviser. This information includes the Fund’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessment as compared to the Fund’s objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also discussed

the Advisory Agreement in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Fund during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Fund and its shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(continued)

 

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Fund for providing shareholder and administration 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 Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Fund and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Fund of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Fund. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Fund, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for the Fund, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Fund.

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

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Fund in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The special analysis includes a multi-factor quantitative scoring system for summarizing a Fund’s historical investment performance. The approach relies on multiple metrics, incorporates several time periods, adjusts for risk and considers how a fund’s customized peer group (as selected by the independent consultant) has performed. The Trustees also

engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, fifth and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class I shares was in the third, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. 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 satisfactory under the circumstances. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Board’s fixed income committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Fund, the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each class after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’

(continued)

 

determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fourth quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe,

respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third quintile based upon the Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintiles based upon the Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Disclose whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party.

2021 – Not applicable

2020 – Not applicable

(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of                Regulation S-X.

Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the

“Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.

(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

2021 – 0.0%

2020 – 0.0%

(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

Not applicable - Less than 50%.

(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:

2020 - $30.3 million

2019 - $30.6 million

(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

(a) If the registrant is a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3), state whether or not the registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). If the registrant has such a committee, however designated, identify each committee member. If the entire board of directors is acting as the registrant’s audit committee as specified in Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(B)), so state.

(b) If applicable, provide the disclosure required by Rule 10A-3(d) under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3(d)) regarding an exemption from the listing standards for all audit committees.

Not applicable.

(b) Disclose any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
