J.P. Morgan Income Focus Efficiente DS 4 Index

Performance Update - April 2014

OVERVIEW
The J.P. Morgan Income Focus Efficiente DS 4 Index (the "Index") provides
dynamic exposure to a diverse universe of income-oriented assets while
targeting an annualized volatility of 4% on a daily basis. The Index employs
the same framework based on momentum and modern portfolio theory that underlies
J.P.
Morgan's family of Efficiente indices, to determine a monthly asset allocation
("Monthly Reference Portfolio") that targets 4% volatility. In addition to the
monthly asset selection process, the Index targets the 4% volatility on a daily
basis by varying the exposure the Index takes to the Monthly Reference
Portfolio daily.

Recent Composition of the Monthly Reference Portfolio

Key Features of the Index

n Exposure to income-oriented  ETFs: the Index provides dynamic exposure to a
diverse range of income-oriented  exchange-traded  funds ("ETFs") representing
U. S.  Treasuries, U. S.  Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"),
investment grade bonds, higher yielding bonds (high yield corporate and
emerging market bonds), dividend-themed  stocks, preferred stocks and real
estate) n Monthly asset selection: the Index employs J. P.  Morgan's Efficiente
methodology, which is based on momentum and modern portfolio theory, to
allocate on a monthly basis to the Monthly Reference Portfolio with a target
annualized volatility of 4% or less over the preceding three months n Dynamic
daily exposure: the Index aims to target the volatility of 4% on a daily basis
by overlaying onto the Efficiente framework a mechanism that varies the
exposure the Index takes to the Monthly Reference Portfolio on a daily basis
based on historical volatility.  The exposure ranges from 0% to 150%,
increasing when the volatility of the portfolio decreases and decreasing when
the volatility increases.  Accordingly, ff the volatility of the synthetic
portfolio is less than the target volatility of 4%, the Index employs leverage,
subject to the maximum exposure of 150% n Potential hedge against inflation:
the universe of assets includes Treasury Inflation Protected Securities as well
as real estate, which we believe can be viewed as providing a hedge against
inflation n Potential hedge in a rising rate environment: because the Index
employs a momentum strategy that aims to allocate to the assets with the
strongest historical performance (subject to volatility and other constraints),
if rates were to increase in a gradual manner, all else being equal, we believe
that the Index would allocate away from the assets that are most sensitive to
rising interest rates (and therefore may be declining) and towards assets with
the least sensitivity to rising rates n Excess return index: the Index is an
excess return index and reflects the weighted performance of its underlying
assets (including reinvested dividends for the ETF Underlyings) in excess of
the performance of the Cash Index n Index adjustments: the Index levels
incorporate the daily deduction of a fee of 0.75%  per annum and are published
on Bloomberg under the ticker IEJPRC4E.

Note: Past performance is not indicative of future returns.
* Because the Index did not exist prior to July 23, 2012, all retrospective
levels provided in the graph above are simulated and must be considered
illustrative only. The simulated data was constructed using certain procedures
that may vary from the procedures used to calculate the Index going forward,
and on the basis of certain assumptions that may not hold during future
periods. The variations in procedures used in producing simulated historical
data from those used to calculate the Index going forward could produce
differences in returns of indeterminate direction and amount. Past hypothetical
performance results are neither indicative of nor a guarantee of future
returns. Actual results will vary, potentially materially, from the
hypothetical historical performance described herein.

** The "Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return)" and the "iShares
Barclays 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund (Excess Return)" are hypothetical excess
return versions of the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index and the Treasury Bond
Fund, respectively. The "hypothetical excess return version" of an asset refers
to a hypothetical index or fund constructed from the returns of such asset with
the returns of the Cash Index deducted. There is no guarantee that the Index
will outperform the Barclays Capital Aggregate Index (Excess Return) or the
Treasury Bond Fund (Excess Return) during the term of any investment linked to
the Index.
