PRESIDENT’S LETTER

DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

When we last wrote to you, few of us could have imagined that today we would still find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic. Now, as then, it is our fervent hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.

The 12-month period covered by this annual report will likely stand out as among the most consequential in our lifetime. Against the backdrop of the pandemic and a tumultuous U.S. Presidential election year, investors were faced with unprecedented market volatility and uncertainty.

The Six Circles Funds were designed in part to help our discretionary portfolios navigate through all types of markets, by providing us with the means to isolate and target our highest conviction ideas. On the following pages, we provide detailed discussions on each of the Six Circles Funds.

As a reminder, the Six Circles Funds are not meant to be standalone investments. They are purposefully constructed as completion funds and, as such, we believe they should be reviewed and evaluated within the context of your broader portfolio for a complete picture of their performance.

Introducing Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund

In the Semi-Annual Report for the Funds, you learned that we had expanded the Six Circles Fund family to include Six Circles Global Bond Fund and Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund. Since

then, we have further grown our suite of Funds to include Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund, which seeks to provide total return by investing mainly in global fixed income opportunities, including below investment-grade debt and other tactical credit opportunities.

As with all of the Six Circles Funds, J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), an affiliate of J.P. Morgan, is investment adviser to Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund, and is engaging third party investment managers with demonstrated asset class specialization to sub-advise the Funds in accordance with our investment philosophy.

I hope you find the information on these pages to be informative and helpful. If you should have any questions about the Funds, you can contact your J.P. Morgan team, visit the Fund’s website at www.sixcirclesfunds.com, or call us at 212-464-2070.

Wishing you all the best in 2021.

Sincerely,

Market Overview

As Of December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Equity markets across the globe posted positive returns in 2020. U.S. Equities witnessed a steep fall towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 on the back of the initial spread of COVID-19 and the sharp fall in oil prices, followed by a recovery during the second and third quarters. The fourth quarter saw continued concerns around rising COVID-19 cases and a moderating economic recovery. Despite that, U.S. Equities reached new highs as investors priced in increased certainty around the U.S. election, additional fiscal stimulus, and positive COVID-19 vaccine developments. The MSCI USA Index was up 21.4% in 2020, with developed non-U.S. and Emerging Markets Equities also closing in positive territory. The MSCI World ex-USA Index was up 7.6% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was up 18.3%.

Global Bond and cash markets broadly underperformed equities; the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Month Treasury Bills Index

returned 0.5% and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Hedged Index returned 5.6%, while the MSCI World Index was up 15.9% in 2020.

Accommodative monetary and fiscal policy have helped stabilize global economies and markets, as policymakers globally acted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fed made two emergency cuts in March 2020, moving the federal funds rate to 0 - 0.25% and continued to maintain that target range, with the view that this level is appropriate to support economic activities, the labor markets and inflation.

While we believe that it will likely take until 2022 for absolute levels of growth to reach pre-COVID highs, we expect economic activity to continue to recover, and believe we are at or near the start of a new economic cycle.

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN  
Fund*      2.05%  
Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.54%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $516,528  
Duration      0.68 years  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to generate current income consistent with capital preservation. The Fund mainly invests in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated investment grade short-term fixed and floating rate debt securities. Allocates assets among securities with various maturities which, under normal market conditions, will not exceed an average effective portfolio duration of two years.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”) constructs the Fund’s portfolios by allocating the Fund’s assets among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each a “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser currently allocates Fund assets to the following Sub-Advisers:

 

 

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“Goldman”)*

 

BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”)

 

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”)

(*During the reporting period, the Adviser has reduced Goldman’s allocated portion and strategy of the Fund to zero)

The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the broader Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

During the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted a positive return on an absolute basis, and outperformed relative to the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. T-Bill Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

By sector composition, Investment Grade Credit and Securitized Credit comprised approximately 80% of the Fund’s exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector overweights relative to the Index. During the reporting period, both sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis, as well as relative to the Index.

The Fund’s exposure to Government Bonds was the Fund’s largest sector underweight relative to the Index and comprised approximately 9% of the Fund’s exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period. During the reporting period, this sector contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis, but detracted relative to the Index.

On an allocation level, both of the Fund’s allocations — Global Markets and Core Ultra Short — contributed to the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the start of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to three Sub-Advisers across various sectors, credit ratings, maturity buckets, and regional exposures. During the reporting period, the Adviser reduced the Conservative Income allocation of the Fund to zero and added to the Core Ultra Short allocation, given that market volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19 created significant opportunities in areas of the fixed income market other than what the Conservative Income allocation targeted. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to two strategies managed by two Sub-Advisers as follows:

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION***  
Core Ultra Short (BlackRock)      70
Global Markets (PIMCO)      30  

 

*   The return shown is based on the net asset value calculated for shareholder transactions. Certain adjustments were made to the net assets of the Fund at December 31, 2020 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result, the net asset value for shareholder transactions and the total return based on that net asset value may differ from the adjusted net assets and the total return for financial reporting.
**   The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s objective. There can be no guarantee it will be achieved.
***   Percentages are based on total investments as of December 31, 2020. The portfolio allocation is subject to change.

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Within the fixed income allocation on the broader Portfolio level, the Adviser prefers high-quality liquid investments combined with flexibility to implement opportunistic ideas across fixed income markets. The majority of the Fund’s assets were invested into the more liquid segments of the fixed income market, with approximately 91% of the Fund invested in instruments with maturities of three years and under as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser allocates to the two Sub-Advisers with the expectation that the Sub-Advisers will capitalize on the opportunities present in the segment of the fixed income market that their specific mandate is focused on.

The Core Ultra Short allocation, which comprised approximately 70% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, invests in a diversified fixed income portfolio on the shorter end of the U.S. fixed income market, balancing income against credit quality, within the context of the broader Portfolios.

The Global Markets allocation, which comprised approximately 30% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, has a broad investment universe, seeking total return opportunities within the global fixed income markets.

Presented percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding to the nearest percent. The above Sector allocation uses The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) and may differ from categories listed within the Schedule of Investments.

The allocation of the various strategies employed by the Fund may shift and therefore, the performance shown may not be a true indication of how the Fund may perform going forward. Performance quoted is past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than returns shown. As of the latest prospectus, the gross and net expense ratios for the Fund were 0.41% and 0.25% respectively. Contact your J.P. Morgan representative or call 1-212-464-2070 for the most recent month-end performance.

The Fund commenced operations on July 9, 2018.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund and the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index from July 9, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Index, if applicable. The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of Treasury securities and is selected by a Market Value process. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and/or 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 may pay on Fund distributions or redemptions or sales of Fund shares.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to generate current income consistent with capital preservation. Invests at least 50% of its net assets in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax1). The Fund also may invest in taxable instruments. Allocates assets among securities with various maturities which, under normal market conditions, will not exceed an average effective portfolio duration of two years.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”) constructs the Fund’s portfolios by allocating the Fund’s assets among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each a “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser currently allocates Fund assets to the following Sub-Advisers:

 

 

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“Goldman”)*

 

Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”)

 

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”)

(*During the reporting period, the Adviser has reduced Goldman’s allocated portion and strategy of the Fund to zero)

The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the broader Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

During the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted a positive return on an absolute basis, and outperformed relative to the iMoneyNet Tax-Free National Institutional Money Market (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

By sector composition, Municipal Bonds and Investment Grade Credit were the largest sector exposures in the Fund on a look-through basis and comprised approximately 70% and 10% of the Fund, respectively, at the end of the reporting period. Both of these exposures contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis.

On an allocation level, both of the Fund’s allocations — Global Markets and Core Municipal Ultra Short — contributed to the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the start of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to three Sub-Advisers across various sectors, credit ratings, maturity buckets, and regional exposures. During the reporting period, the Adviser reduced the Municipal Conservative Income allocation of the Fund to zero and added to the Core Municipal Ultra Short allocation, given that market volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19 created significant opportunities in areas of the fixed income market other than what the Municipal Conservative Income allocation targeted. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to two strategies managed by two Sub-Advisers as follows:

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION***  
Core Municipal Ultra Short (Mellon)      70
Global Markets (PIMCO)      30  

 

*   The return shown is based on the net asset value calculated for shareholder transactions. Certain adjustments were made to the net assets of the Fund at December 31, 2020 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result, the net asset value for shareholder transactions and the total return based on that net asset value may differ from the adjusted net assets and the total return for financial reporting.
**   The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s objective. There can be no guarantee it will be achieved.
***   Percentages are based on total investments as of December 31, 2020. The portfolio allocation is subject to change.

Interest on Municipal securities is exempt from federal income tax however interest on certain bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.

Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN  
Fund*      27.64%  
MSCI USA Index      21.37%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 13,064,418  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities issued by U.S. companies and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities issued by U.S. companies. The Fund is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or industry sector.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), actively allocates the Fund’s investments among a range of indexed investment strategies that are managed by the current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”). For each indexed investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser seeks to replicate the performance of an index or sub-index selected by the Adviser. The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the broader Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

During the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted a positive return on an absolute basis, and outperformed relative to the MSCI USA Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

Industrials, Financials and Communication Services sectors comprised approximately 56% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector overweights relative to the Index. During the reporting period, all the three sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis, as well as relative to the Index.

Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors comprised approximately 23% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector underweights relative to the Index. Both sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis. While Consumer Discretionary positioning relative to the Index contributed, relative positioning in Information Technology detracted.

The allocation to Dividend Growth, which the Adviser initiated as a way to obtain exposure to companies capable of consistently raising their dividend payments, was the largest detractor from the Fund’s return. The Adviser eliminated the allocation to Dividend Growth during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to thirteen strategies managed by one Sub-Adviser, across various sector and sub-industry exposures as follows:

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION***        
USA      19
U.S. Financials      16  

U.S. Interactive Media & Services

     12  
U.S. Industrials      9

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Allocation to Broad USA comprised approximately 19% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. Within the context of the broader Portfolios, the Adviser believes that the allocation provides ability to tactically allocate to broad U.S. large cap exposure and use as a potential funding source for future targeted allocations.

Allocation to the U.S. Financials comprised approximately 16% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. The Adviser believes in capital adequacy and dividend sustainability in the sector, and has conviction in the position given compelling valuations and more realistic market expectations about potential credit costs and buybacks.

Allocation to U.S. Interactive Media & Services focuses on companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms, where revenues are derived primarily through pay-per-click advertisements.

The Adviser believes in the opportunities available in the cloud market and see potential for continued strength in earnings growth.

Allocation to U.S. Software and U.S. Internet Retail provides what the Adviser believes is a multi-year opportunity for the leaders in this space to take advantage of businesses shifting workloads onto Cloud-based platforms. These exposures collectively comprised approximately 9% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to U.S. Beverages was approximately 5% of the Fund’s exposure as of December 31, 2020 and reflects the Adviser’s belief that major players of this sector are going through structural changes and are set to improve free cash flow conversion.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund and the MSCI USA Index from July 9, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the MSCI USA Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Index, if applicable. The MSCI USA Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid-cap segments of the U.S. market. With 627 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the United States. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and/or reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date.

Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN  
Fund*      6.17%  
MSCI World ex USA Index      7.59%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 8,621,638  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities. Primarily invests in the equity securities of non-U.S. companies and is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or sector or non-U.S. country.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), actively allocates the Fund’s investments among a range of indexed investment strategies that are managed by the current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”). For each indexed investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser seeks to replicate the performance of an index or sub-index selected by the Adviser. The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

During the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted a positive return on an absolute basis, and underperformed the MSCI World ex USA Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

Information Technology, Utilities and Health Care sectors comprised approximately 48% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector overweights relative to the Index. All three sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis. While Information Technology and Utilities contributed, Health Care detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors comprised approximately 8% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector underweights relative to the Index. Both sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis but detracted relative to index.

The allocation to European Mid Cap detracted from the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the reporting period. The allocation to European Mid Cap was removed by the Adviser during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to eleven strategies managed by one Sub-Adviser, across various sector and sub-industry exposures as follows:

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION***        
Europe Pharmaceuticals      18
Europe Industrials      17  
Europe Insurance      12  
Europe ex-UK Utilities      10

Allocation to Europe Pharmaceuticals comprised approximately 18% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020 and provides what the Adviser believes to be a defensive exposure with attractive fundamentals, within the context of the broader Portfolios.

Table of Contents

 

 

Allocation to the Europe Industrials was approximately 17% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. The Adviser believes that the Industrials sector is built on cyclical exposures that would benefit from economic recovery.

The Adviser believes that the Europe Insurance allocation allows the portfolios to be broadly underweight European Equities but allow the portfolios to target an overall overweight to European Insurance. This allocation was approximately 12% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to Europe ex-UK Utilities serves as a defensive position with exposure to renewable energy, which helps diversify against European Energy positions and provides a growth dynamic to the sector. This allocation was approximately 10% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that the allocation to Korea Technology Hardware, Software and Peripherals provides exposure to a strong player within the global technology supply chain. The allocation was approximately 10% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to Broad UK comprised approximately 8% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. Within the context of the broader Portfolios, the Adviser believes that the allocation is poised to recover with clarity around Brexit and as COVID-19 subsides.

Allocation to Europe Information Technology, which allows the Adviser to access broad European Technology within the Technology sector, was approximately 7% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to Broad Europe comprised approximately 6% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. Within the context of the broader Portfolios, the Adviser believes that the allocation provides ability to tactically allocate to broad Europe large cap exposure and use as a potential funding source for future targeted allocations.

The Adviser believes that the valuations of Emerging Markets look reasonable and the prospects for growth have improved. The sector has become less dependent on commodity-based industries like energy and is gaining more technology exposure. This allocation was approximately 4% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to Europe Automobiles is expected to perform well as the economy recovers. The focus on electric vehicles are likely to be a tailwind. This allocation comprised approximately 4% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to Europe Food, Beverage & Tobacco serves as a defensive anchor in the broader Portfolios, with better fundamentals and valuations than many other defensive exposures. This allocation was approximately 4% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Fund commenced operations on July 9, 2018.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund and the MSCI World ex-USA Index from July 9, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the MSCI World ex-USA Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Index, if applicable. The MSCI World ex USA Index captures large and mid-cap representation across 22 of 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries—excluding the United States. With 1016 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Seeks to provide total return. Invests mainly in a global portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities with varying maturities mainly across government, corporate, and securitized fixed income sectors. The fund will also allocate across a number of different countries around the world.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund was launched on May 19, 2020. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”) constructs the Fund’s portfolios by allocating the Fund’s assets among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each a “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser currently allocates Fund assets to the following Sub-Advisers:

 

 

BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”)

 

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”)

 

PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”)

The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the broader Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

Since its launch on May 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Fund posted a positive return on an absolute basis, and performed in line with the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index (the “Hedged Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

By sector composition, Government Bonds were the largest sector exposure in the Fund on a look-through basis and comprised approximately 42% of the Fund at the end of the reporting period, with the Fund being underweight this sector relative to the Index. Core Bonds contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

Emerging Market Debt comprised approximately 6% of the Fund’s exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, with the Fund being underweight this sector relative to the Index. During the reporting period, exposure to Emerging Markets Debt contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis.

On an allocation level, the Fund’s allocation to Global Credit was the largest contributor, while the allocation to U.S. Government was the largest detractor from the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to ten strategies across various sectors, credit ratings, maturity buckets, and regional exposures.

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION***  
Asian Pacific Government (BlackRock)      40
Global Credit (PGIM)      10  
Global Securitized (PIMCO)      10

The return shown is based on the net asset value calculated for shareholder transactions. Certain adjustments were made to the net assets of the Fund at December 31, 2020 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result, the net asset value for shareholder transactions and the total return based on that net asset value may differ from the adjusted net assets and the total return for financial reporting.

Allocations to Asia Pacific Government and Pan-European Government comprised approximately 49% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020 and provide what the Adviser believes is a low tracking error, tactical way to allocate to government bonds within these regions.

As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

Since its launch on May 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Fund posted positive returns on an absolute basis, but outperformed relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Blend 1-15 Year Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

By sector composition, Municipal Bonds were the largest sector exposure in the Fund on a look-through basis and comprised approximately 90% of the Fund at the end of the reporting period. This sector contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

High Yield Municipal Bonds were approximately 2% of the Fund’s exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, with the Fund being underweight this sector relative to the Index. During the reporting period, exposure to High Yield Municipal Bonds contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis.

On an allocation level, the Municipal allocation managed by Nuveen was the largest contributor, the Long Duration Municipal allocation was a detractor on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to five strategies across various sectors, credit ratings, maturity buckets, and regional exposures.

FUND COMMENTARY

Period May 19, 2020 (Fund Inception Date) Through December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Allocations to Short Duration Municipal, Intermediate Duration Municipal and Long Duration Municipal comprised approximately 26%, 8% and 6% of the Fund, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. These allocations provide what the Adviser believes to be low tracking error, flexible access points to municipal debt within short and intermediate maturity ranges.

The Adviser believes that the allocations to Municipal strategies sub-advised by Nuveen and WellsCap provide full tracking error, flexible access to a broad range of municipals across different sectors and credit qualities. Each of these allocations were approximately 30% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Presented percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding to the nearest percent. The above Sector allocation uses The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) and may differ from categories listed within the Schedule of Investments.

The allocation of the various strategies employed by the Fund may shift and therefore, the performance shown may not be a true indication of how the Fund may perform going forward. Performance quoted is past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than returns shown. As of the latest prospectus, the gross and net expense ratios for the Fund were 0.39% and 0.24% respectively. Contact your J.P. Morgan representative or call 1-212-464-2070 for the most recent month-end performance.

The Fund commenced operations on May 19, 2020.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund and the Bloomberg Barclays 1-15 Year Municipal Bond Index from May 19, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-15 Year Municipal Bond Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Index, if applicable. The Bloomberg Barclays 1-15 Year Municipal Bond Index consists of a broad selection of investment grade general obligation and revenue bonds of maturities ranging from one year to 17 years. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and/or 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 may pay on Fund distributions or redemptions or sales of Fund shares.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Seeks to provide total return. Invests mainly in global fixed income opportunities, including below investment-grade debt, as well as other tactical credit opportunities.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”) constructs the Fund’s portfolios by allocating the Fund’s assets among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each a “Sub-Adviser”).

The Adviser currently allocates Fund assets to the following Sub-Advisers:

 

 

BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”)

 

Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”)

 

PGIM, INC. (“PGIM”)

 

Lord Abbett & Co, LLC (“Lord Abbett”)*

 

*   During the reporting period, the Adviser has not allocated assets to Lord Abbett.

The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the broader Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

Since its launch on August 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted positive return on an absolute basis, and outperformed relative to the Bloomberg Barclays US Intermediate Corporate Bond Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

By sector composition, High Yield was the largest sector exposure in the Fund on a look-through basis and comprised approximately 90% of the Fund at the end of the reporting

period. This sector contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis during the reporting period.

Investment Grade Corporate Bonds was the largest sector underweight, with approximately 5% of the Fund’s exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period. During the reporting period, exposure to Investment Grade Corporate Bonds contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

As the Fund was launched on August 19, 2020, changes to the Fund were limited given the brief reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to three Sub-Advisers across various sectors, credit ratings, maturity buckets, and regional exposures.

Allocations to High Yield managed by BlackRock comprised approximately 38% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. The Adviser believes that the allocation provides flexibility in the portfolio construction process for adjusting credit quality and sector allocations in response to market movements.

Allocations to High Yield managed by PGIM comprised approximately 37% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020. This allocation provides what the Adviser believes to be a broader market exposure, with potential ability to offer excess returns without taking large sector or credit rating bets.

(1)

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

(2)

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

(3)

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

(4)

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

(1)

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

(2)

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

(3)

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

(4)

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

(1)

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

(2)

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

(3)

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

(4)

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

(1)

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

(2)

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

(3)

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

(4)

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020

 

1. Organization

Six Circles Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on November 8, 2017, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 8, 2017, as amended and restated June 12, 2018, and further amended to add fund series on September 21, 2018, November 19, 2019, and April 13, 2020, 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 seven separate series of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report. Each Fund currently offers one class of shares.

The investment objective of each of the Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund and the Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund is to generate current income consistent with capital preservation.

The investment objective of each of the Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund and the Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund is to provide capital appreciation.

The investment objective of the Six Circles Global Bond Fund and the Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund is to provide total return.

The investment objective of the Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund is to provide after-tax total return.

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Adviser has engaged certain Sub-Advisers to manage the assets of 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Board has appointed the Six Circles Funds Valuation Committee (“VC”), comprised of officers of the Funds and other personnel of the Adviser, to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The VC oversees and carries out policies and procedures for the valuation of investments held by 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 due diligence. The VC, through the Adviser, is responsible for assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and discussing this on at least a quarterly basis with the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments for which market quotations are readily available and which are generally valued at their current market value. Other securities and assets, including securities for which market quotations are not readily available, market quotations are determined not to be reliable, or whose value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded but before a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated, are valued by approved 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. The valuation may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment in order to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based on 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.

Table of Contents

Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean (“Americas”) securities exchange are generally valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets values of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. The Funds calculate their NAV as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.

Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or as of 4 p.m. Eastern time. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. Eastern time on the day that the value of the security is determined. Generally foreign equity securities, as well as certain derivatives with equity reference obligations, 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. The fair valued securities are converted at the exchange rates available at 4 p.m. Eastern time.

Fixed income securities are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. 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, Pricing Services may consider a variety of inputs and factors, including, but not limited to proprietary models that may take into account market transactions in securities with comparable characteristics, yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, underlying collateral and estimated cash flows.

Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

Shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the ETF is principally traded. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

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

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

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net asset value of the Funds.

C. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — The Funds may purchase when-issued securities, including To Be Announced (“TBA”) securities, and enter into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price that may be settled a month or more after the trade date, or purchase 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.

D. Loan Assignments — The Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund invests 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 typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a group of loan investors (“Loan Investors”). The Agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. 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, each Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between each Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, each Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. The Adviser or Sub-Advisers may have access to material non-public information regarding the Borrower.

Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described under Note 5.

Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of each Fund to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. The unrealized appreciation/depreciation from unfunded commitments is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any. As of December 31, 2020, The Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments (amounts in thousands):

E. Derivatives — The Funds used derivative instruments including futures, 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 as well as 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 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 by the Sub-Advisers, 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 with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

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

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

(1) Futures Contracts — The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Global Bond Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund and Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund used interest rate futures to manage interest rate risks associated with portfolio investments. The Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund and Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund used index futures to gain or reduce exposure to certain countries or regions, to maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs.

Futures contracts may 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 the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s SOI.

The use of futures contracts may expose the Funds to interest rate and equity price 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 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 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 the liquidation of positions.

Table of Contents

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).

(2) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Global Bond Fund and Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of the portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of an investment strategy. The Funds 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 foreign currency. Forward contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s SOI.

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/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 when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty upon settlement.

The Funds’ forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions). The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

(3) Swaps — The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund and Six Circles Global Bond Fund engaged in various swap transactions, including interest swaps, to manage interest rate (e.g., duration, yield curve) risks within their respective portfolios. The Funds also used swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are negotiated contracts over the counter (“OTC swaps”) between a fund and a counterparty or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearinghouse through a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”), to exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s SOI.

Upfront payments made and/or received are recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. The value of an OTC swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period.

Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Funds are required to deposit with the FCM cash or securities, which is referred to as initial margin deposit. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a variation margin receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.

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

The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral in the form of cash or securities based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding OTC swap contracts with the counterparty. Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Collateral posted by the Funds is held in a segregated account at the Funds’ custodian bank. Collateral received by the Funds is held in escrow in segregated accounts maintained by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.

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

Credit Default Swaps

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Global Bond Fund and Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund entered into credit default swaps to simulate long and short bond positions or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a default or credit event by the issuer of the underlying reference obligation.

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

Credit default swaps involve one party, the protection buyer, making a stream of payments to another party, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment if there is a credit event related to the underlying reference obligation. In the event that the reference obligation matures prior to the termination date of the contract, a similar security will be substituted for the duration of the contract term. Credit

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)

 

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

Interest Rate Swaps

The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund and Six Circles Global Bond Fund entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage fund exposure to interest rates and/or to preserve or generate a return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio. These are agreements between counterparties to exchange periodic 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 a fixed interest rate.

(e)

(f)

Positions were open for 2 months during the period.

F. 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 the Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency. Currency gains or losses may be 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 period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

G. Short Sales — The Funds may engage 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 custodian is recorded as Restricted cash 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 income or fee is reported as Interest income or Interest expense, respectively, 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.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)

 

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.

H. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expense Allocation — Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. 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. Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund may receive income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund and Six Circles Global Bond Fund invested in treasury inflation Protected securities (TIPS) during the year ended December 31, 2020. The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded as increases or decreases to interest income on the Statements of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. Distributions received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and returns of capital. The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments. The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer.

The Funds are charged for those expenses of the Trust that are directly attributable to each Fund. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets.

I. Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short term investments whereby the Funds acquire ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future date at a specified price. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Funds’ policy that their custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market value of which, at all times, shall equal at least 100% of the principal amount of the repurchase transaction. The repurchase agreements further authorize the Funds to demand additional collateral in the event that the dollar value of the collateral falls below 100%. The Funds will make payments for such securities only upon physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the custodian.

The Funds’ repurchase agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.

J. Reverse Repurchase Agreements — In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund delivers a security in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date. In an open maturity reverse repurchase agreement, there is no pre-determined repurchase date and the agreement can be terminated by the Fund or counterparty at any time. A Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by a Fund to counterparties are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by a Fund to counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. A Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser or will otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.

Six Circles Global Bond Fund had an average amount of borrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $6,492,210 at a weighted average interest rate of 0.193%

K. Federal Income Tax — 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 Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies. Each Fund intends to distribute to shareholders, substantially all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.

The Funds follow the provisions of FASB Codification Section 740 (“ASC Section 740”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. ASC Section 740 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds are required to recognize the tax effects of certain tax positions under a “more likely than not” standard, that based on their technical merits, have more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns for all open years, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. At December 31, 2020, the Funds did not have any uncertain tax benefits that require recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

L. Foreign Tax — 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 its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. When capital gain 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 to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are generally declared and paid according to the following schedule:

 

Fund Name    Net Investment Income      Net Realized Capital Gains  

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund

     Monthly        Annual  

Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund

     Monthly        Annual  

Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund

     Annual        Annual  

Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund

     Annual        Annual  

Six Circles Global Bond Fund

     Monthly        Annual  

Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund

     Monthly        Annual  

Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund

     Monthly        Annual  

Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character.

Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short- term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) reported on the Fund financial statements presented under GAAP.

Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid-in capital.

N. Sale-buyback Transactions — A sale-buyback financing transaction consists of a sale of a security by a Fund to a counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. The Fund is not entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security sold to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. The agreed-upon proceeds for securities to be repurchased by the Fund are reflected in the payable for investments purchased on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund will recognize net income represented by the price differential between the price received for the transferred security and the agreed-upon repurchase price. This is commonly referred to as the ‘price drop’. A price drop consists of (i) the foregone interest and inflationary income adjustments, if any, the Fund would have otherwise received had the security not been sold and (ii) the negotiated financing terms between the Fund and counterparty. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Sub-adviser or will otherwise cover its obligations under sale-buyback transactions. Sale-buyback transactions are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”), which are agreements between the Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, transaction initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination and maintenance of collateral. The market value of sale-buyback transactions as of period end, if any, is disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund had an average amount of borrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $189,535 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.463%. Six Circles Tax Aware Short Duration Fund had an average amount of borrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $165,897 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.283%.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fees — The Adviser serves as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser generally manages the Funds’ investments in accordance with the stated policies of each Fund, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

An expense reimbursement by the Fund’s Adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund only to the extent it can be made within thirty-six months following the date of such reimbursement by the Adviser. Repayment must be limited to amounts that would not cause the Fund’s operating expenses (taking into account any reimbursements by the Adviser and repayments by the Fund) to exceed the Expense Cap in effect at the time of the reimbursement by the Adviser or at the time of repayment by the Fund. This expense reimbursement is in effect through the dates noted above, at which time the Adviser and/or its affiliates will determine whether to renew or revise it.

5. 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. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Since the Funds are non-diversified, they may invest a greater percentage of their assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Funds` shares being more sensitive to economic results among those issuing the securities.

The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund and Six Circles Global Bond 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 countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period depending on the Funds. Such concentrations may subject the 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 December 31, 2020, the Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of Net Assets allocated as follows:

 

Japan                            
14.4%.        

As of December 31, 2020, the Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of Net Assets as follows:

 

France   Germany     South Korea     Switzerland     United Kingdom  
11.7%     14.3     10.2     15.1     18.3

As of December 31, 2020, the Six Circles Global Bond Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of Net Assets allocated as follows:

 

China   Japan                                                                              
11.3%     20.1

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)

 

As of December 31, 2020, a significant portion of the Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity and Six Circles Global Bond Funds’ net assets 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.

The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund and Six Circles Global Bond Fund are subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Global Bond Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund and Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund may be subject to leveraging risk, which is the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged.

The Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Global Bond Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund and Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund may 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.

Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund may invest a substantial portion of the Fund’s total assets in below investment grade credit instruments including “high-yield” instruments (also known as “junk bonds”) and “distressed” debt instruments.

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

The Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund invests in Loan Assignments. Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid and they may be difficult to value. In addition, the settlement period for loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Therefore, a Fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of such investments for a period after the sale. Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described above.

The value of the Funds’ investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Funds invest. The effects of this pandemic on public health and business and market conditions may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Funds’ investments, increase the Funds’ volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may contribute to the 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 have a significant negative impact on the Funds’ investment performance. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics or pandemics, is currently unknown.

The Funds may also invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. ETFs are ownership interests in unit investment trusts, depositary receipts, and other pooled investment vehicles that hold a portfolio of securities or stocks designed to track the price performance and dividend yield of a particular broad-based, sector or international index. ETFs include a wide range of investments. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed each Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

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

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 Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities 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 ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund and Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund invest 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. 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.

The London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of 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 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.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides optional exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is elective and is effective on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management expects that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

9. Subsequent Events

The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and have determined that there are no material events that need disclosure.

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 December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from agent banks and 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 redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each fund at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2020 and for Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund the beginning of reporting period is August 19, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

For 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 under the heading entitled “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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 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 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.

The law varies in each state as to whether and what percentage of dividend income attributable to Federal obligations is exempt from state income tax. We recommend that you consult with your tax adviser to determine if any portion of the dividends you received is exempt from state income taxes.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

 

Board Review and Initial Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Credit Opportunties Fund

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the Six Circles Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the “1940 Act”) of J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), the Sub-Advisers (as defined below) or their affiliates (the “Independent Trustees”), as part of the Board’s quarterly meeting for the Trust, met on June 30, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to consider and approve (i) the proposed amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, and JPMPI to add the Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”), a new series of the Trust; (ii) the proposed amendment to the Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) to add the Fund, as well as new Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement between BlackRock and its affiliate, BlackRock International Limited (together, “BlackRock”) with respect to the Fund; the proposed amendment to the Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”) to add the Fund, as well as a new Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement between PGIM and its affiliate, PGIM Ltd. (together, “PGIM”) with respect to the Fund; the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”) with respect to the Fund, (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”); and (iii) the proposed Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and Russell Investments Implementation Services, LLC (the “Interim Agreement” and, together with the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) each for an initial term of two years. At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Interim Agreement.

Materials Requested Prior to Meeting. Prior to the Meeting, Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes & Gray”), counsel to the Independent Trustees, had prepared letters on behalf of the Independent Trustees requesting detailed information from JPMPI and each Sub-Adviser in connection with the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Interim Agreement in an effort to observe the requirement under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act that the Trustees request and evaluate, and that the investment adviser and sub-advisers furnish, such information as may be necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed agreements. JPMPI and each Sub-Adviser responded to the information requests and provided memoranda and related materials and information for consideration by the Trustees, which were included in the materials for the Meeting (together, the “15(c) Materials”). Following receipt and review, the Independent Trustees and their counsel, Ropes & Gray, held a separate conference call to consider the 15(c) Materials and related proposed advisory, sub-advisory, and interim

sub-advisory arrangements in anticipation of the upcoming in person Meeting.

Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Interim Agreement. The Trustees’ conclusions as to the approval of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees. In deciding to approve the Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Interim Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or particular information that, in isolation, was controlling. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

Materials Reviewed. In considering the approval of (i) an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”) to add the Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”); (ii) an amendment to the Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) to add the Fund, as well as new Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements between BlackRock and its affiliate, BlackRock International Limited (together, “BlackRock”) with respect to the Fund; (iii) an amendment to the Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and PGIM, Inc. with respect to the Fund, as well as a new Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement between PGIM Inc. and its affiliate, PGIM Ltd. (together, “PGIM”) with respect to the Fund; (iv) a new Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”) with respect to the Fund; and (v) an amendment to the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement between JPMPI and Russell Investments Implementation Services LLC (“RIIS”) as stand-by Interim Sub-Advisor, and an amendment to the Implementation Services Agreement between JPMPI and RIIS, each to add the Fund; each of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS are referred to herein as a “Sub-Adviser” and, together, the “Sub-Advisers”, the Trustees took into account the wide variety of materials relating to the services to be provided by JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers provided prior to and during the Meeting, the presentations made during the Meeting, and the extensive discussions during the Meeting. It was noted that RIIS, as Interim Sub-Adviser, is not expected to be an active Sub-Adviser on day one of the Fund’s operations. The Trustees reviewed information relating to, among other things, proposed operations, including the compliance programs of JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers, valuation, and other information related to personnel of JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers who would be providing investment management services to the Fund. They also reviewed comparative fee information prepared by Broadridge, and a memorandum provided by Independent Trustee Counsel

regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in considering the approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements.

Representatives of JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers also participated in the Meeting, at which the Trustees discussed the proposed arrangements with the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements in an executive session of the Meeting with Independent Trustee Counsel at which no representatives of JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers were present.

Review Process. In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed written materials provided by JPMPI, which included, among other things, comparative fee data prepared by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company performance and fee and expense data. The Trustees also requested and received assistance and advice regarding applicable legal standards from Independent Trustee Counsel. The Trustees additionally considered the written information provided by JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers in response to the Trustees’ requests for information, and other information provided by JPMPI. The Trustees also heard oral presentations on matters related to the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, as well as related arrangements from representatives of JPMPI and RIIS. In deciding to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees did not identify any single factor or particular information that, in isolation, was controlling.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the depth and quality of the investment management process of JPMPI and each of the Sub-Advisers, including for each entity, the experience and capabilities of its senior management, investment and other personnel, and the overall financial strength and stability of the organizations. The Trustees also considered the nature, extent and quality of the various services that JPMPI would provide under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also noted JPMPI’s commitment to investing in information technology, supporting compliance, as well as JPMPI’s continuing efforts to attract and retain qualified personnel and to maintain and enhance its resources and systems. The Trustees considered its review of JPMPI’s policies, procedures and systems to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to conduct effective oversight of each sub-adviser; and its processes to keep the Trustees informed about matters relevant to the Fund and their shareholders.

Similarly, the Trustees considered the sub-advisory services proposed to be provided by each Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also considered information about the investment personnel of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS that would be responsible for providing services under the Sub-Advisory Agreements. For each of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS, the Trustees reviewed the nature and quality of the investment

management, trading, risk management, compliance capabilities and resources, research capabilities, and the experience and capabilities of its portfolio management personnel, and the overall financial strength of each organization. The Trustees noted the certificates received from JPMPI and the Sub-Advisers regarding both their compliance programs and codes of ethics, which noted that that each of JPMPI, BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS had compliance policies and procedures in place that were reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws with respect to the services provided by them and had each adopted a code of ethics that included provisions reasonably necessary to prevent access persons from (i) engaging in certain specified conduct and (ii) violating the code of ethics.

Ultimately, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided by each of JPMPI, BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS under the Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, were likely to benefit the Fund and their shareholders.

Investment Performance. Since the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees did not receive or consider investment performance information related to the Fund. The Trustees considered the manner in which the Adviser, and each of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS proposed to manage the Fund or particular sleeves of the Fund, as well as each of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS’s performance records in managing accounts similar to the strategies they will use to manage their respective sleeves of the Fund, as applicable, as described in the Meeting Materials. The Trustees also discussed the background and experience of each of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS and their personnel. The Trustees concluded that based on the experience of the Adviser, each of BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS, the Adviser had a reasonable expectation of delivering acceptable performance to shareholders of the Funds.

Advisory Fees and Total Expenses. JPMPI reported to the Trustees that, in proposing fees and expenses for the Fund, JPMPI considered a number of factors, including the type and complexity of the services to be provided, the estimated cost of providing services, the risk assumed by JPMPI in the provision of services, the impact on potential returns from different levels of fees, the competitive marketplace for financial products, and the attractiveness of potential returns to prospective investors in the Fund. In setting this contractual fee, JPMPI reported to the Trustees that they looked at peer data for comparative funds, and determined what fee level would be appropriate in light of its services and the services of the proposed sub-advisers, taking into account that, notwithstanding the low fees JPMPI had negotiated with the Funds’ proposed sub-advisers for the initial high yield strategies, JPMPI might need additional fee flexibility should more complex or expensive sub-adviser strategies be introduced for the Fund in

the future (while noting that JPMPI would not be retaining any excess fees due to the waiver discussed below).

The Trustees next reviewed the proposed advisory fee schedule under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had: 1) agreed to contractually waive any advisory fees that exceeded the aggregate advisory fees JPMPI is contractually required to pay to the Sub-Advisers, and (2) agreed to contractually reimburse expenses for the Fund to the extent the total expense ratio the Fund exceeded a certain specified limit. The Trustees considered how these agreements would affect the expenses borne by shareholders.

The Trustees reviewed the proposed advisory fee and estimated total expenses of the Fund (each as a percentage of average net assets) and compared such amounts with the average and median fees and expense levels of other similar funds. With respect to advisory fees, the Trustees reviewed data from Broadridge that compared the average and median advisory fees of other funds in a peer group of comparable funds. The Trustees compared the Fund’s estimated total expenses to other funds in the applicable peer group provided by Broadridge and found the total expenses of the Fund to be reasonable. The Trustees noted that the Broadridge information showed that the proposed advisory fee for the Fund was in the middle range of the applicable Broadridge peer group and universe. They further noted that the estimated total expense ratio for the Fund was also within the lower range of total expenses, when taking into account the proposed fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements for the Fund. The Trustees also found the proposed fees to be paid by JPMPI to BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS’s to be reasonable, noting that the Fund will not pay the fees to the Sub-Advisers directly, but that JPMPI will compensate them out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s views regarding the limitations of fee comparisons to separately managed accounts in light of the differences in services provided to the Fund as compared to those provided to separately managed accounts. Additionally, the Trustees noted the most-favored nation provisions agreed to by BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS, which should help ensure the sub-advisory fee rates charged are at least equal to the range of fees charged to similar clients.

Based on the information presented by JPMPI, BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS and Broadridge, the Trustees determined that the level of the advisory fees to be charged by JPMPI, the level of the sub-advisory fees to be paid by JPMPI to BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS, as well as the estimated total expenses of the Fund, are reasonable, fair and equitable and that approval of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements would likely benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Adviser Costs, Level of Profits and Economies of Scale. As the Fund is newly organized, information regarding JPMPI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ actual costs in providing services to the Fund was not available.

The Trustees considered the estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser in connection with the operation of the Fund as well as the estimated profits to be realized by the Sub-Advisers in connection with the operation of the Fund based on profitability estimates included in the Meeting Materials, and whether the amount of estimated profit represented a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the Fund. In doing so, the Trustees also took into account the entrepreneurial and business risk JPMPI will undertake as investment manager and sponsor of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the Fund’s estimated operating expenses and the expected impact of the proposed expense limitation agreement and fee waiver agreement to be observed by JPMPI on the Adviser’s estimated profits. The Trustees noted that JPMPI did not expect to be profitable with respect to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that JPMPI had no current plans to utilize RIIS as interim sub-adviser for the Fund as of the date thereof, or what level of assets might be managed by RIIS over any particular time period. Accordingly, it was noted that RIIS’s profitability with respect to its sub-advisory services on behalf of the Fund could not reasonably be estimated at this time.

The Trustees further noted that the proposed advisory fee rates to be paid to JPMPI do not have break points, but that, due to the proposed fee waiver arrangements, JPMPI will not retain any portion of the advisory fees paid by the Fund. The Adviser has negotiated break points with the Sub-Advisers to take advantage of anticipated growth of the Fund.

Ultimately, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s proposed fee and expense structure is reasonable, fair and equitable.

Ancillary Benefits. The Trustees next considered whether the Adviser, BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS or any of their affiliates may receive other benefits as a result of the proposed relationship with the Trust or the Fund. The Trustees considered that the Adviser was not affiliated with any of the Fund’s proposed service providers, and therefore would not benefit from those contractual relationships. The Trustees additionally considered that BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS were not affiliated with any of the Fund’s proposed service providers, and therefore would not benefit from those contractual relationships. The Trustees also considered portfolio trading practices of RIIS, noting the relatively low trading costs that RIIS expects to incur in completing portfolio transactions for the Fund. Additionally, the Trustees considered that RIIS may receive ancillary benefits of potentially receiving fees from serving as transition manager to the Fund under the Implementation Services Agreement between the Adviser and RIIS, but noted that those possible fees are not contingent on RIIS serving as an interim sub-adviser and would be for services

that are distinct from RIIS sub-advisory services. The Trustees also considered the proprietary nature of the Fund and whether any benefit would result to the Adviser by placing assets of J.P. Morgan managed account clients into the Fund and existing Funds. The Trustees also considered portfolio trading practices, noting that while the Adviser was affiliated with a broker-dealer, the broker-dealer affiliate would not execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund and would not receive the benefit of research provided by any such broker-dealer.

Additionally, the Trustees considered that J.P. Morgan will receive the ancillary benefit of collecting fees from J.P. Morgan accounts that invest in the Fund, and that although the Fund are not expected to be profitable to JPMPI because JPMPI will not retain any management fees from the Funds, that J.P. Morgan may be profitable with respect to the assets invested in the Fund as part of J.P. Morgan’s overall managed account program, although the managed account fees are product agnostic (i.e., J.P. Morgan would be paid fees on those managed account assets regardless of whether they were invested in the Fund or another investment product). Taking these considerations into account, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser, BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS and their affiliates would not receive collateral benefits that would materially affect the reasonableness of the proposed advisory fees under the proposed Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Conclusions. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser, BlackRock, PGIM, Federated and RIIS as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the proposed advisory fee and sub-advisory fee structures were reasonable and, in light of the matters that the Trustees had considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, approved the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements for an initial term of two years.

Board Review and Approval of Lord Abbett Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Credit Opportunties Fund

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the Six Circles Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the “1940 Act”) of J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), the Sub-Adviser (as defined below) or their affiliates (the “Independent Trustees”), as part of the Board’s quarterly meeting for the Trust, met on November 17-18, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to consider and approve a proposed new Sub-Advisory Agreement between Lord Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”) and JPMPI with respect to the Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) (the “Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for an initial term of two

years. At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Materials Reviewed. In considering the approval of the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement with Lord Abbett for the Fund, the Board took into account the wide variety of materials relating to the services to be provided by Lord Abbett provided prior to and during the Meeting, the presentations made during the Meeting, and the extensive discussions during the Meeting. The Board reviewed information relating to, among other things, proposed investment management services to be provided by Lord Abbett to the Fund, including the compliance program of Lord Abbett and other information related to personnel of Lord Abbett that would be providing investment management services to the Fund. Among other items, the Board discussed a memorandum prepared by independent legal counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board in approving advisory and Sub-Advisory agreements and information regarding Lord Abbett personnel who would be providing investment management services to the Fund.

Review Process. In connection with the approval of the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed written materials provided by Lord Abbett. The Board also requested and received assistance and advice regarding applicable legal standards from independent legal counsel. The Board additionally considered the written information provided by Lord Abbett in response to the Board’s request for information. The Board also heard oral presentations on matters related to the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement. In deciding to approve the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or particular information that, in isolation, was controlling.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the depth and quality of the investment management process of Lord Abbett to be used for the Fund, including the experience and capabilities of its senior management, investment and other personnel, and the overall financial strength and stability of the organization. The Board considered the sub-advisory services proposed to be provided by Lord Abbett to the Fund. The Board also considered information about Lord Abbett’s investment personnel responsible for providing services under the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the nature and quality of Lord Abbett’s investment management, trading, risk management, compliance capabilities and resources, research capabilities, and the experience and capabilities of its portfolio management personnel, and the overall financial strength of the organization. The Board noted the certificates received from Lord Abbett regarding both its compliance program and code of ethics, which noted that Lord Abbett has compliance policies and procedures in place that are reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws with respect to the services provided by

Lord Abbett and that Lord Abbett has adopted a code of ethics that includes provisions reasonably necessary to prevent access persons from: (i) engaging in certain specified conduct; and (ii) violating the code of ethics.

Ultimately, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided by Lord Abbett under the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement were likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Investment Performance. Since the Fund had not yet utilized Lord Abbett’s sub-advisory services, the Board did not receive or consider investment performance information related to the Fund’s performance with Lord Abbett as a Sub-Adviser. The Board considered the manner in which Lord Abbett proposed to manage a particular sleeve of the Fund, as well as Lord Abbett’s performance records in managing accounts similar to the strategy it will use to manage its respective sleeve of the Fund, as described in the Meeting materials. The Board also discussed the background and experience of Lord Abbett and its personnel. The Board concluded that based on the experience of Lord Abbett, Lord Abbett had a reasonable expectation of delivering acceptable performance to shareholders of the Fund.

Advisory Fees and Total Expenses. The Adviser reported to the Board that, in proposing the sub-advisory fees to be paid to Lord Abbett by the Adviser for the Fund, the Adviser considered a number of factors, including the type and complexity of the services to be provided, the estimated cost of providing services, the impact on potential returns from different levels of fees, the competitive marketplace for financial products, and the attractiveness of potential returns to prospective investors in the Fund.

The Board also reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule under the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser had agreed to contractually waive any advisory fees that exceeded the aggregate advisory fees the Adviser is contractually required to pay to the Sub-Advisers. The Board considered how these agreements would affect the expenses borne by Fund shareholders with respect to the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Board found the fees to be paid by the Adviser to Lord Abbett to be reasonable. In doing so, they noted that the Fund will not pay the fees to Lord Abbett directly, but that the Adviser will compensate Lord Abbett out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund. The Board noted the funds advised by Lord Abbett with similar investment objectives and strategies as the sleeve of the Fund to be managed by Lord Abbett, noting the Adviser’s views regarding the limitations of fee comparisons to other funds and accounts that are not registered under

the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), in light of the differences in services provided to the Fund compared to those provided to other funds and other accounts that are not registered under the 1940 Act. Further, the Board noted the limitations of fee comparisons to other funds for which Lord Abbett serves as primary investment adviser, as opposed to fees charged to funds that Lord Abbett sub-advises, in light of the differences in sub-advisory services provided to the Fund compared to those provided to other funds for which Lord Abbett serves as primary adviser. Additionally, the Board noted the most-favored nation provision agreed to by Lord Abbett in the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, which it determined should help ensure that the sub-advisory fee rates paid to Lord Abbett with respect to the Fund are no greater than the range of fees it charges to similar clients.

Based on the information presented by Lord Abbett and the Adviser, the Board determined that the level of the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Adviser to Lord Abbett are reasonable, fair and equitable and that approval of the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement would likely benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Adviser Costs, Level of Profits and Economies of Scale. As the Fund had not yet utilized Lord Abbett’s sub-advisory services, information regarding Lord Abbett’s costs in providing services to the Fund was not available. The Board further noted that the sub-advisory fees paid to Lord Abbett have breakpoints, which may help to reflect economies of scale.

Ancillary Benefits. The Board next considered whether Lord Abbett may receive other benefits as a result of Lord Abbett’s proposed relationship with the Trust or the Fund. The Board considered that Lord Abbett was not affiliated with any of the Fund’s service providers, and therefore would not benefit from those contractual relationships. Taking these considerations into account, the Board concluded that Lord Abbett would not receive collateral benefits that would materially affect the reasonableness of the proposed sub-advisory fee under the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Conclusions. Having requested and received such information from Lord Abbett as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee structure was reasonable and, in light of the matters that the Board had considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, approved the Proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

When we last wrote to you, few of us could have imagined that today we would still find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic. Now, as then, it is our fervent hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.

The 12-month period covered by this annual report will likely stand out as among the most consequential in our lifetime. Against the backdrop of the pandemic and a tumultuous U.S. Presidential election year, investors were faced with unprecedented market volatility and uncertainty.

The Six Circles Funds were designed in part to help our discretionary portfolios navigate through all types of markets, by providing us with the means to isolate and target our highest conviction ideas. On the following pages, we provide detailed discussions on each of the Six Circles Funds.

As a reminder, the Six Circles Funds are not meant to be standalone investments. They are purposefully constructed as completion funds and, as such, we believe they should be reviewed and evaluated within the context of your broader portfolio for a complete picture of their performance.

Introducing Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund

In the Semi-Annual Report for the Funds, you learned that we had expanded the Six Circles Fund family to include Six Circles Global Bond Fund and Six Circles Tax Aware Bond Fund. Since

then, we have further grown our suite of Funds to include Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund, which seeks to provide total return by investing mainly in global fixed income opportunities, including below investment-grade debt and other tactical credit opportunities.

As with all of the Six Circles Funds, J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), an affiliate of J.P. Morgan, is investment adviser to Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund, and is engaging third party investment managers with demonstrated asset class specialization to sub-advise the Funds in accordance with our investment philosophy.

I hope you find the information on these pages to be informative and helpful. If you should have any questions about the Funds, you can contact your J.P. Morgan team, visit the Fund’s website at www.sixcirclesfunds.com, or call us at 212-464-2070.

Wishing you all the best in 2021.

Sincerely,

Market Overview

As Of December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Equity markets across the globe posted positive returns in 2020. U.S. Equities witnessed a steep fall towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 on the back of the initial spread of COVID-19 and the sharp fall in oil prices, followed by a recovery during the second and third quarters. The fourth quarter saw continued concerns around rising COVID-19 cases and a moderating economic recovery. Despite that, U.S. Equities reached new highs as investors priced in increased certainty around the U.S. election, additional fiscal stimulus, and positive COVID-19 vaccine developments. The MSCI USA Index was up 21.4% in 2020, with developed non-U.S. and Emerging Markets Equities also closing in positive territory. The MSCI World ex-USA Index was up 7.6% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was up 18.3%.

Global Bond and cash markets broadly underperformed equities; the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Month Treasury Bills Index

returned 0.5% and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Hedged Index returned 5.6%, while the MSCI World Index was up 15.9% in 2020.

Accommodative monetary and fiscal policy have helped stabilize global economies and markets, as policymakers globally acted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fed made two emergency cuts in March 2020, moving the federal funds rate to 0–0.25% and continued to maintain that target range, with the view that this level is appropriate to support economic activities, the labor markets and inflation.

While we believe that it will likely take until 2022 for absolute levels of growth to reach pre-COVID highs, we expect economic activity to continue to recover, and believe we are at or near the start of a new economic cycle.

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN  
Fund*      29.09%  
MSCI USA Index      21.37%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 2,081,512  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities issued by U.S. companies and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities issued by U.S. companies. The Fund is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or industry sector.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), actively allocates the Fund’s investments among a range of indexed investment strategies that are managed by the current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”). For each indexed investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser seeks to replicate the performance of an index or sub-index selected by the Adviser. The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary Managed Equity Portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the broader Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

During the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted a positive return on an absolute basis, and outperformed relative to the MSCI USA

Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

Health Care, Consumer Staples, Industrials and Communication Services sectors comprised approximately 60% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector overweights relative to the Index. During the reporting period, Health Care, Industrials and Communications Services contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis as well as relative to the Index, while Consumer Staples detracted.

Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors comprised approximately 10% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector underweights relative to the Index. During the reporting period, Consumer Discretionary contributed to the Fund’s performance, while Financials detracted from the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis. Both the sectors contributed positive performance relative to the Index.

The allocation to Dividend Growth, which the Adviser initiated as a way to obtain exposure to companies capable of consistently raising their dividend payments, was the largest detractor from the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the reporting period. The Adviser eliminated the allocation to Dividend Growth during the reporting period.

FUND COMMENTARY

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated to fifteen strategies managed by one Sub-Adviser, across various sector and sub-industry exposures as follows:

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION***        
USA      21
U.S. Pharmaceuticals      12  
U.S. Interactive Media & Services      11  
U.S. Software      10  
U.S. Air Freight & Logistics      8  
U.S. Machinery      7

*   The return shown is based on the net asset value calculated for shareholder transactions. Certain adjustments were made to the net assets of the Fund at December 31, 2020 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result, the net asset value for shareholder transactions and the total return based on that net asset value may differ from the adjusted net assets and the total return for financial reporting.
**   The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s objective. There can be no guarantee it will be achieved.
***   Percentages are based on total investments as of December 31, 2020. The portfolio allocation is subject to change.

Allocation to USA, which was approximately 21% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, provides what the Adviser believes to be an ability to tactically allocate broad U.S. large cap exposure and use as a potential funding source for future targeted allocations.

Allocations to U.S. Pharmaceuticals and U.S. Biotechnology comprised approximately 14% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, and provide what the Adviser believes is an opportunity as the market may be overestimating the risks potential policy changes would have, given the industry’s long-term growth tailwinds.

Allocation to U.S. Interactive Media & Services focuses on companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms, where revenues are derived primarily through pay-per-click advertisements. This allocation was approximately 11% of the Fund as of

December 31, 2020. The Adviser believes in the opportunities available in the cloud market and sees potential for continued strength in earnings growth.

Allocations to U.S. Software and U.S. Internet Retail provide what the Adviser believes is a multi-year opportunity for the leaders in this space to take advantage of businesses shifting workloads onto Cloud platforms. These exposures comprised approximately 14% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to U.S. Air Freight & Logistics has benefited from COVID-19 given e-commerce networks. This allocation comprised approximately 8% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to U.S. Machinery, which is a sub-industry of the Industrials sector, is comprised of concentrated exposure to companies in which the Adviser has high conviction. The allocation was approximately 7% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to U.S. Beverages was approximately 5% of the Fund’s exposure as of December 31, 2020 and reflects the Adviser’s belief that major players of this sector are going through structural changes and are set to improve free cash flow conversion.

The Adviser believes that allocation to U.S. Semis & Semi Equipment industries are attractive after the valuations have become more reasonable. This allocation comprised approximately 5% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to U.S. Technology Hardware Storage & Peripherals, which allows the Adviser to access specific exposures within the Technology sector, was approximately 4% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to U.S. Tobacco comprised approximately 4% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, reflecting what the Adviser believes to be a defensive sub-industry exposure, within the context of the broader Portfolios.

Allocation to U.S. Information Technology, which allows the Adviser to access specific exposures within the Technology sector, was approximately 3% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to U.S. Automobiles helps target direct exposure to a concentrated segment of the market that the Adviser has conviction in. This allocation comprised approximately 2% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to U.S. Home Entertainment Software comprised approximately 2% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, reflecting the Adviser’s belief that strong secular tailwinds and high barrier to entry could allow companies within this index to outperform.

The allocation of the various strategies employed by the Fund may shift and therefore, the performance shown may not be a true indication of how the Fund may perform going forward. Performance quoted is past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than returns shown.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund and the MSCI USA Index from April 10, 2019 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the MSCI USA Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Index, if applicable. The MSCI USA Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid-cap segments of the U.S. market. With 627 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the United States. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and/or 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 may pay on Fund distributions or redemptions or sales of Fund

shares.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY**

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities. Primarily invests in the equity securities of non-U.S. companies and is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or sector or non-U.S. country.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), actively allocates the Fund’s investments among a range of indexed investment strategies that are managed by the current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”). For each indexed investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser seeks to replicate the performance of an index or sub-index selected by the Adviser. The Fund is specifically designed to serve as a completion portfolio and accomplish particular goals within discretionary Managed Equity Portfolios managed by JPMPI or its affiliates (the “Portfolios”). The Adviser utilizes the Fund to express targeted investment views, while taking into consideration positions held at the aggregate level in the Portfolios. As such, the Fund’s allocations and performance should be evaluated in the context of the broader Portfolios and not on a standalone basis.

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

During the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund posted positive return on an

absolute basis, and outperformed the MSCI World ex USA Index (the “Index”). References to the Index are for informational purposes. The use of the Index does not imply the Fund is being managed to the Index, and is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of a well-known and widely-recognized index.

Health Care, Information Technology and Utilities sectors comprised approximately 41% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector overweights relative to the Index. All three sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis. Relative to the Index, Information Technology and Utilities contributed, while Health Care detracted from performance.

Consumer Discretionary and Financials comprised approximately 20% of the Fund’s sector exposure on a look-through basis at the end of the reporting period, and were the Fund’s largest sector underweights relative to the Index. While Consumer Discretionary contributed, Communication Services and Financials detracted from the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis. All the three sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

The Fund’s allocation to Europe Mid Cap was the largest detractor from the Fund’s return, while allocation to Europe Metal and Mining was the largest contributor on an absolute basis during the reporting period. The allocation to Europe Mid Cap was removed by the Adviser during the reporting period.

*   The return shown is based on the net asset value calculated for shareholder transactions. Certain adjustments were made to the net assets of the Fund at December 31, 2020 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result, the net asset value for shareholder transactions and the total return based on that net asset value may differ from the adjusted net assets and the total return for financial reporting.
**   The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s objective. There can be no guarantee it will be achieved.
***   Percentages are based on total investments as of December 31, 2020. The portfolio allocation is subject to change.

Allocation to Europe Pharmaceuticals comprised approximately 18% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020 and provides what the Adviser believes to be a defensive exposure with attractive fundamentals, within the context of the broader Portfolios.

Allocation to Europe Industrials was approximately 16% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020 and provides an exposure that the Adviser believes was beneficial during the pandemic.

The Adviser believes that the Europe Insurance allocation allows for an implementation of an underweight to European Banks and UK Insurance, which the Adviser doesn’t have con-

viction in from a fundamental perspective. This allocation was approximately 15% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to Europe Beverages was approximately 10% of the Fund’s exposure as of December 31, 2020 and reflects the Adviser’s belief that major players in this sector are going through structural changes with a potential to improve free cash flows conversion.

The allocation to Europe Metal and Mining provides what the Adviser believes is a cyclical exposure to companies with strong balance sheets. The allocation was approximately 10% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to Europe ex-UK utilities serves as a defensive position with exposure to renewable energy, which helps diversify against European Energy positions and provides a growth dynamic to the sector. This allocation was approximately 9% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that companies within the Europe Semiconductors sector have stable long term growth prospects and strong balance sheets. The sector comprised approximately 8% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The allocation to Korea Technology Hardware, Storage and Peripherals provides what the Adviser believes is exposure to a strong player within the global technology supply chain. The allocation was approximately 7% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The Adviser believes that allocation to Europe Automobiles is expected to perform well as the economy recovers. The focus on electric vehicles are likely to be a tailwind. This allocation comprised approximately 5% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Allocation to Europe Integrated Oil & Gas provides exposure to companies that the Adviser believes are at attractive valuations, and comprised approximately 2% of the Fund as of December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF December 31, 2020

 

1. Organization

Six Circles Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on November 8, 2017, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 8, 2017, as amended and restated June 12, 2018, and further amended to add fund series on September 21, 2018, November 19, 2019, and April 13, 2020, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund and Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund are two separate series of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report. The Funds are classified as “non-diversified” funds. Each Fund currently offers one class of shares. The Funds commenced operations on April 10, 2019.

The investment objective of each of the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund and Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund is to provide capital appreciation.

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Adviser has engaged a Sub-Adviser to manage the assets of 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Board has appointed the Six Circles Funds Valuation Committee (“VC”), comprised of officers of the Funds and other personnel of the Adviser, to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The VC oversees and carries out policies and procedures for the valuation of investments held by 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 due diligence. The VC, through the Adviser, is responsible for assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and discussing this on at least a quarterly basis with the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments for which market quotations are readily available and which are generally valued at their current market value. Other securities and assets, including securities for which market quotations are not readily available, market quotations are determined not to be reliable, or whose value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded but before a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated, are valued by approved 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. The valuation may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment in order to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based on 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.

Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean (“Americas”) securities exchange are generally valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets values of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. The Funds calculate their NAV as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.

Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or as of 4 p.m. Eastern time. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. Eastern time on the day that the value of the security is determined. Generally foreign equity securities, as well as certain derivatives with equity reference obligations, 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. The fair valued securities are converted at the exchange rates available at 4 p.m. Eastern time.

Fixed income securities are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. 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, Pricing Services may consider a variety of inputs and factors, including, but

Table of Contents

 

not limited to proprietary models that may take into account market transactions in securities with comparable characteristics, yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, underlying collateral and estimated cash flows.

Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

Shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the ETF is principally traded. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

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

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

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net asset value of the Funds.

As of December 31, 2020, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Derivatives — The Funds used derivative instruments including futures, 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 as well as 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 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 by the Sub-Advisers, 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 with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

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

Note C(1) – C(2) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.

(1) Futures Contracts — The Funds used index futures to gain or reduce exposure to certain countries or regions, to maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs.

Futures contracts may 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 the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s SOI.

The use of futures contracts may expose 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 the 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).

(2) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of the portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of an investment strategy. The Funds 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 foreign currency. Forward contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s SOI.

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/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 when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty upon settlement.

The Funds’ forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions). The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts. As of December 31, 2020, the Funds did not receive or post collateral for forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

D. 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 the Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency. Currency gains or losses may be 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 period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

E. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expense Allocation — Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. 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. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. Distributions received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and returns of capital. The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments. The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer.

The Funds are charged for those expenses of the Trust that are directly attributable to each Fund. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets.

F. Federal Income Tax — 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 Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies. Each Fund intends to distribute to shareholders, substantially all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.

The Funds follow the provisions of FASB Codification Section 740 (“ASC Section 740”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. ASC Section 740 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds are required to recognize the tax effects of certain tax positions under a “more likely than not” standard, that based on their technical merits, have more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns for all open periods, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. At December 31, 2020, the Funds did not have any uncertain tax benefits that require recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

G. Foreign Tax — 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 its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. When capital gain 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF December 31, 2020 (continued)

 

H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are generally declared and paid according to the following schedule:

 

Fund Name    Net Investment Income      Net Realized Capital Gains  

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund

     Annual        Annual  

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund

     Annual        Annual  

Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character.

Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) reported on the Fund financial statements presented under GAAP.

Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid-in capital.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fees — The Adviser serves as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser generally manages the Funds’ investments in accordance with the stated policies of each Fund, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. For the services provided to the Funds, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.

The Adviser selects and oversees professional money managers (the “Sub-Advisers”) who are responsible for investing the assets of the Funds under sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”). Pursuant to each respective Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser agrees to pay each Sub-Adviser a sub-advisory fee from its investment advisory fees. BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) currently serves as the Sub-Adviser to the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is paid a management fee by the Adviser pursuant to their individually negotiated Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Adviser engaged Russell Investments Implementation Services, LLC (“Russell”) to provide stand-by interim sub-advisory services, as well as transition management services, for each Fund, to be utilized as needed in certain transitional circumstances involving a Fund Sub-Adviser. As of December 31, 2020, the Funds have not allocated assets to Russell.

During the reporting period, the Adviser made a payment to the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund of $654,165 and to the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund of $1,949 relating to an operational error.

The Adviser waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3G and reflected on the Statement of Operations.

B. Administration and Accounting Fees — Pursuant to an Administrative Agency Agreement, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the “Administrator”) provides certain administration and fund accounting services to the Funds.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”), will serve as the Funds’ principal underwriter and acts as the agent of the Funds’ in connection with the continuous offering of shares of each Fund. The Distributor and its officers have no role in determining the investment policies or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds. The Distributor does not receive compensation from the Funds, but instead is compensated by the Adviser for certain distribution-related expenses.

D. Custodian — Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. serves as the custodian (the “Custodian”) for each of the Funds and is responsible for holding portfolio securities and cash and maintaining the books of account and records of portfolio transactions.

E. Transfer Agent — Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as each Fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. The Transfer Agent is responsible for maintaining account records, detailing the ownership of Fund shares and for crediting income, capital gains and other changes in share ownership to shareholder accounts.

F. Offering Costs — Offering costs, including professional fees, printing fees and initial registration costs, are amortized over a period not longer than twelve months from the date the Fund commenced operations.

G. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser has contractually agreed through at least April 30, 2021, to waive any management fees that exceed the aggregate management fees the Adviser is contractually required to pay the Fund’s Sub-Adviser. Thereafter, this waiver will continue for subsequent one year terms unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Such waivers are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund. The Adviser has also contractually agreed through at least April 30, 2021, to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, and extraordinary expenses) exceed the following percentages of the average daily net assets of each Fund (the “Expense Cap”):

Table of Contents

 

Fund      Expense Cap  

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund

       0.45

Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund

       0.50

An expense reimbursement by the Fund’s Adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund only to the extent it can be made within thirty-six months following the date of such reimbursement by the Adviser. Repayment must be limited to amounts that would not cause the Fund’s operating expenses (taking into account any reimbursements by the Adviser and repayments by the Fund) to exceed the Expense Cap in effect at the time of the reimbursement by the Adviser or at the time of repayment by the Fund. This expense reimbursement is in effect through April 30, 2021, at which time the Adviser and/or its affiliates will determine whether to renew or revise it.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no amounts reimbursed by the Adviser, as well as the amounts available for potential future recoupment by the Adviser.

H. Cross Trades — The Funds may participate in purchase and sale transactions with other Six Circles Funds. These cross trades are executed in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board and comply with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act, which require, among other things, that such cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate value of purchase and sale cross trades with other Six Circles Funds were as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Fund Name      Purchases        Sales

       1,266,597          895,991                    

5. 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. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Since the Funds are non-diversified, they may invest a greater percentage of their assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Funds` shares being more sensitive to economic results among those issuing the securities.

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 countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period depending on the Funds. Such concentrations may subject the 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 December 31, 2020, the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of Net Assets as follows:

 

France   Germany     Switzerland     United Kingdom  
11.5%     14.1     14.4     18.5

As of December 31, 2020, a significant portion of the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund net assets 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.

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

The value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund

 

 
DECEMBER 31, 2020   SIX CIRCLES TRUST         39  


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF December 31, 2020 (continued)

 

invests. The effects of this pandemic on public health and business and market conditions may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate 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 contribute to the 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 have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics or pandemics, is currently unknown.

The Funds may also invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. ETFs are ownership interests in unit investment trusts, depositary receipts, and other pooled investment vehicles that hold a portfolio of securities or stocks designed to track the price performance and dividend yield of a particular broad-based, sector or international index. ETFs include a wide range of investments. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed each Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

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

The London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of 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 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.

6. Income Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of Six Circles Trust and Shareholders of Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund and Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund and Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund (two of the funds constituting Six Circles Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period April 10, 2019 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2019, including the related notes (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 December 31, 2020, the results of each of their operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the changes in each of their net assets and each of the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2020, and for the period April 10, 2019 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2019 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 December 31, 2020 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 redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Fund on July 1, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

For 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 under the heading entitled “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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 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 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.

The law varies in each state as to whether and what percentage of dividend income attributable to Federal obligations is exempt from state income tax. We recommend that you consult with your tax adviser to determine if any portion of the dividends you received is exempt from state income taxes.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.
