(1)Hypothetical, historical performance measures: Represents the performance of
the Efficiente EM Index based on, as applicable to the relevant measurement
period, the hypothetical back tested daily closing levels through January 31,
2013, and the actual historical performance of the ETFs based on the daily
closing level from February 4, 2013 through July 31, 2013, as well as the
performance of the MSCI Daily TR Net World USD Index (Excess Return), the Dow
Jones-UBS Commodity Index, and the MSCI Daily TR Net Emerging Markets USD Index
(USD) over the same periods. For purposes of these examples, each index was set
equal to 100 at the beginning of the relevant measurement period and returns are
calculated arithmetically (not compounded). There is no guarantee the Efficiente
EM Index will outperform the MSCI Daily TR Net World USD Index (Excess Return),
the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, the MSCI Daily TR Net Emerging Markets USD
Index (Excess Return), or any alternative investment strategy. Sources:
Bloomberg and JPMorgan. The Index reflects the weighted performance of the
Basket Constituents in excess of a cash index. Year to Date is the performance
of the Index from the last business day of the previous calendar year through
and including July 31, 2013

Volatility: hypothetical, historical six-month annualized volatility levels are
presented for informational purposes only. Volatility levels are calculated from
the historical returns, as applicable to the relevant measurement period. The
back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index returns
may use substitutes for any ETF that was not in existence or did not meet the
liquidity standards at that particular time.

The Sharpe Ratio, which is a measure of risk-adjusted performance, is computed
as the ten year annualized historical return divided by the ten year annualized
volatility.

The back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index
returns have inherent limitations. These volatility and return results were
achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested volatility model
designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that in the
future the relevant indices will have the volatility shown. Alternative modeling
techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and may
prove to be more appropriate. Actual annualized volatilities and returns may
vary materially from this analysis. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.

Key Risks

There are risks associated with a momentum-based investment strategy--The
Efficiente EM Index (the "Strategy") is different from a strategy that seeks
long-term exposure to a portfolio consisting of constant components with fixed
weights. The Strategy may fail to realize gains that could occur from holding
assets that have experienced price declines, but experience a sudden price spike
thereafter.

Correlation of performances among the basket constituents may reduce the
performance of strategy--performances among the Basket Constituents comprising
the index from time to time may become highly correlated from time to time
during the term of your investment. High correlation during periods of negative
returns among Basket Constituents representing any one sector or asset type that
have a substantial weighting in the Strategy could have a material adverse
effect on the performance of the Strategy.

Our affiliate, JPMSplc, is the Calculation Agent and may adjust the Index in a
way that affects its level--The policies and judgments for which JPMSplc is
responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the level of the
Index and the value of your investment. JPMSplc is under no obligation to
consider your interest as an investor with returns linked to the Index.

The Index may not be successful, may not outperform any alternative strategy
related to the Basket Constituents, or may not achieve its target volatility of
5%. The investment strategy involves monthly rebalancing and maximum weighting
caps applied to the Basket Constituents individually and in certain small groups
Changes in the value of the Basket Constituents may offset each other.

An investment linked to the Index is subject to risks associated with non-U.S.
securities markets, fixed income securities, commodities and futures contracts,
and to currency exchange risk. The Index was established on February 4, 2013 and
has a limited operating history

The risks identified above are not exhaustive. You should also review carefully
