Valuation of Investments

The net asset value of J.P. Morgan Access Multi-Strategy Fund, L.L.C. (the “Fund”) is determined as of the last day of each month in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Fund’s investments in the Investment Funds are considered to be illiquid and can only be redeemed periodically. The Board has approved procedures pursuant to which the Fund values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value. In accordance with these procedures, fair value as of each month-end ordinarily is the net asset value determined as of such month-end for each Investment Fund in accordance with the Investment Fund’s valuation policies and reported at the time of the Fund’s valuation.

On a monthly basis, the Fund uses the net asset value to determine the fair value of all underlying investments which (a) do not have readily determinable fair values and (b) either have the attributes of an investment company or prepare their financial statements consistent with measurement principles of an investment company. As a general matter, the fair value of the Fund’s interest in an Investment Fund will represent the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from an Investment Fund if the Fund’s interest were redeemed at the time of the valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Fund believes to be reliable. In the unlikely event that an Investment Fund does not report a month-end net asset value to the Fund on a timely basis, the Fund would determine the fair value of such Investment Fund based on the most recent value reported by the Investment Fund, as well as any other relevant information available at such time. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the factors used to develop estimates at fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, a review of the underlying securities of the Investment Fund when available, ongoing due diligence of the style, strategy and valuation methodology employed by each Investment Fund, and a review of market inputs that may be expected to impact the performance of a particular Investment Fund. The use of different factors and estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value and could be material to the financial statements. Some of the Investment Funds may invest all or a portion of their assets in investments which may be illiquid. Some of these investments are held in “side pockets”, sub funds within the Investment Funds, which provide for their separate liquidation potentially over a much longer period than the liquidity an investment in the Investment Funds may provide. Should the Fund seek to liquidate its investment in an Investment Fund which maintains investments in a side pocket arrangement or which holds substantially all of its assets in illiquid securities, the Fund might not be able to fully liquidate its investment without delay, which could be considerable. In such cases, during the period until the Fund is permitted to fully liquidate its interest in the Investment Funds, the value of its investment could fluctuate.

The Board has established an Audit and Valuation Committee to assist with the oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s Administrator (“JPMFM”) has established a Valuation Committee (“VC”) that is comprised of senior representatives from JPMFM, the Fund’s Investment Advisor (“JPMIM”), Legal and Compliance, Risk Management and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Office. The VC’s responsibilities include making determinations regarding fair value measurements (“Fair Values”) and/or providing recommendations for approval to the Board’s Audit and Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.


J.P. Morgan Access Multi-Strategy Fund, L.L.C.

Schedule of Investments (continued)

June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

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. JPMFM and JPMIM are responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair values and discuss and assess fair values on an ongoing, and at least a quarterly, basis with the VC and Board, as applicable. The appropriateness of fair values is assessed based on results of due diligence procedures performed on the valuation of the underlying Investment Funds.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such company’s net asset value per share as of the report date.

The Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability.

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 fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below

 

   

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

   

Level 2 inputs are other significant observable inputs (including the Investment Fund’s ability to be redeemed within 12 months of the reporting date at fair value).

   

Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs and include restrictions on redemptions of the Investment Funds due to terms of the investment or gates, suspensions, etc. imposed by the Investment Fund such that the Fund cannot redeem at fair value within 12 months of the reporting date.

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

The following table represents each valuation input, by strategy, as presented on the Schedule of Investments:

The Fund recognizes transfers into and out of the levels indicated above at the beginning of the reporting period. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 were primarily related to the change in liquidity terms of the underlying Investment Funds during the reporting period. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were primarily related to the expiration of lock-up periods imposed by the underlying Investment Funds and due to liquidity provisions considered by the Fund. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period ended June 30, 2012.

The Fund had no unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2012.

The change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) attributable to securities owned at June 30, 2012, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), is as follows:

Opportunistic/Macro

Portfolio Managers utilizing this strategy invest in a wide variety of instruments using a broad range of strategies, often assuming an aggressive risk posture. Most Portfolio Managers utilizing this strategy rely on a combination of macro-economic models and fundamental research to invest across countries, markets, sectors and companies, and have the flexibility to invest in numerous financial instruments. Futures and options are often used for hedging and speculation in order to quickly position a portfolio to profit from changing markets. The use of leverage varies considerably. Investment Funds within this strategy are generally subject to 45 - 95 day redemption notice periods. Less than 1 percent of the fair value of investments in Investment Funds in this strategy is in side pockets or liquidating trusts. The remaining Investment Funds have monthly to quarterly liquidity. Certain funds may have lock up periods of up to one year as of June 30, 2012. During the period ended June 30, 2012, the Fund had no transfers into or out of Level 3.

Relative Value

Portfolio Managers utilizing this strategy make simultaneous purchases and sales of similar securities to exploit pricing differentials or have long exposure in non-equity oriented beta opportunities (such as credit). The Portfolio Managers attempt to neutralize long and short positions to minimize the impact of general market movements. Different relative value strategies include convertible bond arbitrage, statistical arbitrage, pairs trading, yield curve arbitrage and basis trading. The types of instruments traded vary considerably depending on the Portfolio Manager’s relative value strategy. Because the strategy attempts to capture relatively small mis-pricings between two related securities, moderate to substantial leverage is often employed to produce attractive rates of return. Investment Funds within this strategy are generally subject to 45 - 120 day redemption notice periods. Approximately 5 percent of the fair value of investments in Investment Funds in this strategy is in side pockets or liquidating trusts. The remaining Investment Funds have quarterly to semi-annual liquidity. Certain funds may have lock up periods of up to one year as of June 30, 2012. During the period ended June 30, 2012, the Fund had two transfers into Level 3 with a fair market value of $2,391,703. Also, during the period ended June 30, 2012, Level 3 sales for this strategy totaled $153,994.

Any restriction noted above was imposed at various points throughout the year, at the discretion of the underlying Investment Funds and the time at which the restriction might lapse cannot be estimated.
