Changes to Investment Advisory Agreement effective September 1, 2016.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has approved changes to the investment advisory fee of the Fund as set forth below. Effective September 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), the advisory fee for the Fund, which is currently 0.25%, will be changed to 0.04%.

In connection with this change, the sections “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and “Example” in the Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus will be replaced by the following on the Effective Date:

1 As of September 1, 2016, the Fund’s advisory fee was reduced; therefore, the Management Fees and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses have been restated to reflect the current fees.

 

2 “Remainder of Other Expenses” have been calculated based on the actual other expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal year, except that these expenses have been adjusted to reflect a reallocation of sub-transfer agency and transfer agency expenses among the classes as if they had been in effect during the most recent fiscal year.

 

3 The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.45%, 1.20% and 0.20%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder serving agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 8/31/2017, at which time the adviser and/or its affiliates will determine whether to renew or revise them.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 08/31/2017 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses, or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 5% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The Fund invests in stocks included in the S&P 500 Index1 and also may invest in stock index futures. The Fund’s adviser attempts to track the aggregate price and dividend performance of securities in the S&P 500 Index to achieve a correlation of at least 0.95 between the performance of the Fund and that of the index without taking into account the Fund’s expenses. Perfect correlation would be 1.00.

The percentage of a stock that the Fund holds will be approximately the same percentage that the stock represents in the S&P 500 Index. The adviser generally picks stocks in the order of their weightings in the S&P 500 Index, starting with the heaviest weighted stock. The Fund may acquire, hold and dispose of the common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co. for the sole

purpose of maintaining conformity with the S&P 500 Index on which the Fund is based and measured. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Assets will be invested in stocks of companies included in the index or indices identified by the Fund and in derivative instruments that provide exposure to stocks of such companies. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. As of the reconstitution of the S&P 500 Index on September 30, 2015, the market capitalization of the companies in the index ranged from $1.5 billion to $629 billion.

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to its index, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. In managing cash flows, the Fund buys futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures contracts in response to cash outflows, thereby gaining market exposure to the index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

 

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this Prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Index Investing Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and is designed to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Therefore, securities may be purchased, retained and sold by the Fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. If the value of securities that are heavily weighted in the

2


index changes, you can expect a greater risk of loss than would be the case if the Fund were not fully invested in such securities. There is also the risk that the Fund’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.

Large Cap Company Risk. Because the Fund invests principally in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s securities are out of favor.

Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Derivative Risk. Derivatives, including futures, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

 

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Select Class Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the performance to the S&P 500 Index (including the aggregate price and dividend performance) and the Lipper S&P 500 Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the Lipper index includes the fees and expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

Tax Information

The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, except when your investment is in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged investment plan, in which case you may be subject to federal income tax upon withdrawal from the tax-advantaged investment plan.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
