the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses as dated above

Use of Securities Lending. Effective immediately, the Funds may engage in securities lending. Securities lending is not a principal investment strategy of the Funds. In connection with the use of securities lending, the following will be added to the end of the “Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursement” and “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses

 

2


After Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursement” footnote under the “ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES” table in the “Risk/Return Summary — Fees and Expenses of the Fund” section for each Fund:

To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.

In addition, the following paragraph is added as a new paragraph under the “More About the Funds — ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENT STRATEGIES” or “More About the Fund — ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES” section of each prospectus, as applicable:

Securities Lending. Each Fund may engage in securities lending to increase its income. Securities lending involves the lending of securities owned by a Fund to financial institutions such as certain broker-dealers in exchange for cash collateral. The Fund may invest cash collateral in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates and from which the adviser or its affiliates may receive fees. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to receive amounts equivalent to distributions paid on the loaned securities as well as the return on the cash collateral investments. Upon termination of the loan, the Fund is required to return the cash collateral to the borrower plus any agreed upon rebate. Cash collateral investments will be subject to market depreciation or appreciation, and a Fund will be responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of cash collateral. If the adviser determines to make securities loans, the value of the securities loaned may not exceed 33  1/3% of the value of total assets of a Fund. Loan collateral (including any investment of that collateral) is not subject to the percentage limitations regarding a Fund’s investments described elsewhere in this Prospectus.

In addition, the following paragraph is added as a new paragraph under the “More About the Funds — Additional Risks for the Funds” or “More About the Fund — Additional Risks for the Fund” section of each prospectus, as applicable:

Securities Lending Risk. Each Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent defaults. This risk is increased when a Fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. In addition, each Fund bears the risk of loss in connection with its investments of the cash collateral it receives from the borrower. To the extent that the value or return of a Fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. In situations where the adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the cash collateral investments in the market, a Fund may borrow money to repay the borrower the amount of cash collateral owed to the borrower upon return of the loaned securities. This will result in financial leverage, which may cause a Fund to be more volatile because financial leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

In addition, the following disclosure replaces the applicable paragraph under the “Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds — DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES” section of each prospectus:

Distributions of net investment income generally are taxable as ordinary income. Dividends of net investment income paid to a non-corporate U.S. shareholder that are properly reported as qualified dividend income generally will be taxable to such shareholder at a maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” is either 15% or 20%, depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts. The amount of dividend income that may be so reported by a Fund generally will be limited to the aggregate of the eligible dividends received by each Fund. In addition, a Fund must meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to the shares on which the Fund received the eligible dividends, and the non-corporate U.S. shareholder must meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to the Fund. The amount of a Fund’s distributions that would otherwise qualify for this favorable tax treatment may be reduced as a result of a Fund’s securities lending activities or high portfolio turnover rate. Dividends of net investment income that are not reported as qualified dividend income and dividends of net short-term capital gain will be taxable to a U.S. shareholder as ordinary income.

 

3


In addition, to the extent that a Fund includes a paragraph in the “Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds — DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES” section concerning “foreign withholding or other foreign taxes,” the following shall replace the last sentence of such paragraph:

Any foreign tax withheld on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest with respect to loaned securities will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits to shareholders. Although in some cases a Fund (or an Underlying Fund as applicable) may be able to apply for a refund or a portion of such taxes, the ability to successfully obtain such a refund may be uncertain.

(All Share Classes)

(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

Supplement dated October 5, 2018 to

the Statements of Additional Information as dated above

Effective immediately, each of the Funds may engage in securities lending. The following new disclosure replaces the “Securities Lending” section of the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) Part II:

Securities Lending

To generate additional income, certain Funds may lend up to 33 1/3% of such Fund’s total assets pursuant to agreements requiring that the loan be continuously secured by collateral equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent. The Funds use Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) as their securities lending agent. Pursuant to a Third Party Securities Lending Rider to the Custody Agreement between JPMorgan Chase Bank, Citibank and the Funds (the “Third Party Securities Lending Rider”) approved by the Board of Trustees, Citibank compensates JPMorgan Chase Bank for certain custodial services provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank in connection with the Funds’ use of Citibank as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to the Global Securities Lending Agency Agreement approved by the Board of Trustees between Citibank and the Trust on behalf of the applicable Funds, severally and not jointly (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”), collateral for loans will consist only of cash. The Funds receive payments from the borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on the securities lent. For loans secured by cash, the Funds seek to earn interest on the investment of cash collateral in investments permitted by the Securities Lending Agency Agreement. Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, cash collateral may be invested in IM Shares of JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund, JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, and Class Agency SL Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for non-U.S. securities). Loans are subject to termination by a Fund or the borrower at any time, and are therefore not considered to be illiquid investments. A Fund does not have the right to vote proxies for securities on loan over a record date for such proxies. However, if the Fund’s Adviser has notice of the proxy in advance of the record date, a Fund’s Adviser may terminate a loan in advance of the record date if the Fund’s Adviser determines the vote is considered material with respect to an investment.

Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent defaults or fails financially. This risk is increased when a Fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. The earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan. Also, the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of collateral posted. There are no limits on the number of borrowers a Fund may use and a Fund may lend securities to only one or a small group of borrowers. In addition, loans may be made to affiliates of Citibank as identified. Funds participating in securities lending bear the risk of loss in connection with investments of the cash collateral received from the borrowers, which do not trigger additional collateral requirements from the borrower.

To the extent that the value or return of a Fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. In situations where the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the cash collateral investments in the market, a Fund may borrow money to repay the borrower the amount of cash collateral owed to the borrower upon return of the loaned securities. This will result in financial leverage, which may cause the Fund to be more volatile because financial leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Effective immediately, the following disclosure will be added after the “TRANSFER AGENT” section of the SAI Part II:

SECURITIES LENDING AGENT

To generate additional income, certain Funds may lend up to 33  1/3% of their total assets pursuant to agreements (“Borrower Agreements”) requiring that the loan be continuously secured by cash. Citibank serves as securities lending agent pursuant to the Securities Lending Agency Agreement effective October 4, 2018. The Funds did not loan their securities or employ Citibank during their most recent fiscal year. To the extent that the Funds engage in securities lending during the current fiscal year, information concerning the amounts of income and fees/compensation related to securities lending activities will be included in the SAI in the Funds’ next annual update to its registration statement.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank acting as agent for the Funds, loans securities to approved borrowers pursuant to Borrower Agreements substantially in the form approved by the Board of Trustees in exchange for collateral. During the term of the loan, the Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities lent while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral in accordance with investment guidelines contained in the Securities Lending Agency Agreement. The Fund retains the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and the lending agent’s fee) is included in the Statement of Operations as income from securities lending (net in the Fund’s financial statements). Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (in the Fund’s financial statements).

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank is entitled to a fee equal to 8% of (i) the investment income (net of rebates) on cash collateral delivered to Citibank on the Fund’s behalf in respect of any loans by the Borrowers; and (ii) fees paid by a Borrower with respect to a Loan for which non-cash collateral is provided (to the extent that the Funds subsequently authorize Citibank to accept non-cash collateral for securities loans).

Effective immediately, the following disclosure is added at the end of the fourth paragraph in the “DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS — Fund Distributions” section of the SAI Part II:

The amount of a Fund’s distributions that would otherwise qualify for this favorable tax treatment may be reduced as a result of a Fund’s securities lending activities or high portfolio turnover rate.

In addition, the following disclosure is added at the end of the tenth paragraph in the “DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS — Fund Distributions” section of the SAI Part II:

The amount eligible for the dividends received deduction may also be reduced as a result of a Fund’s securities lending activities or high portfolio turnover rate.

Effective immediately, the following disclosure is added as the last sentence of the first paragraph in the “DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS — Foreign Taxes” section of the SAI Part II:

Any foreign taxes withheld on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest with respect to loaned securities will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits to shareholders.
