PRESIDENT’S LETTER
JANUARY 5, 2007 (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the JPMorgan Multi-Manager Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2006. Inside, you’ll find information detailing the performance of the Funds along with reports from the portfolio managers.


 
           

“We expect economic growth to remain subdued over the next few quarters, keeping the pressure off inflation.”

 

After a strong start to the year, the U.S. economy weakened during the six-month reporting period. The slowdown began in the second quarter of 2006, as gross domestic product (GDP) growth weakened to only 2.6%, compared with 5.6% in the previous quarter. The economy declined further in the third quarter, with GDP growth of 2.0%. The economy’s deceleration was attributed to a number of factors, including a rapidly cooling housing market, high oil prices and the lagged impact of 17 consecutive short-term interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed).

Given mounting evidence of a weakening economy, the Fed then chose to hold interest rates steady at its meetings during the reporting period. Given the economic slowdown, some market pundits are speculating that the Fed’s next move may be to lower rates. However, the Fed continues to be vigilant about inflation and has not ruled out additional rate hikes in 2007. In the statement that was released in conjunction with its December meeting, the Fed stated, “The extent and timing of any additional firming that may be needed to address these [inflation] risks will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.”

Stocks Rallied in Latter Half of the Year

While the economy was uneven during the reporting period, the same could not be said about the returns in the equity markets. After largely treading water in the first half of 2006, the overall stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 12.74% for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The market’s rally was initially triggered by the Fed’s interest rate pause and falling oil prices. This reduced inflationary pressures and lifted the clouds of uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s future actions. With investors flocking back into the market, the S&P 500 Index rose in each of the six months covered by this report.

Looking more closely at the market over this period, large-cap stocks outperformed their mid- and small-cap counterparts, with the Russell 1000, Russell Midcap and Russell 2000 Indexes returning 12.36%, 9.94% and 9.38%, respectively. After a prolonged period of lagging smaller-cap stocks, many large-caps appeared attractively valued and expectations were that larger companies may perform better during an economic slowdown.

Outlook

We expect economic growth to remain subdued over the next few quarters, keeping the pressure off inflation. Although home sales appear to be stabilizing, inventories of unsold homes remain bloated. Consumer spending, which reaccelerated in recent months as products were put on “sale,” appears likely to moderate. We expect moderate equity gains in the U.S. and globally in 2007. There may be some jarring bumps in the road, as lofty investor expectations come face to face with the messy realities of a continued slowdown in growth. But 2007 is expected to be much like the prior year, with an improving inflation picture likely to give a green light to the markets again.

On behalf of everyone at JPMorgan Asset Management, thank you for your confidence and the continued trust you have placed in us. We look forward to serving your investment needs for many years to come. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the JPMorgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely,

Q:  
  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

A:  
  The JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, which seeks to provide long-term capital growth by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, returned 6.80% over the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the 6.86% return for the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the same period.*

Q:  
  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

A:  
  The Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark for the period due to stock selection in the healthcare and materials sectors. Small-cap stocks continued to generate positive returns, supported by robust corporate earnings, moderate inflation and low interest rates.

At the stock level, healthcare holding Aspreva Pharmaceuticals, a developer of treatments for rare diseases, fell on news of poor clinical study results for its transplant anti-rejection drug. LCA-Vision, an operator of vision-correction surgery centers, announced a slowdown in earnings growth, pushing the stock price lower. In materials, Steel Dynamics, Inc., a U.S. steelmaker, guided down future profit growth due to rising steel costs and reduced customer orders. Zoltek Cos., Inc., a manufacturer of carbon and nylon fibers, announced a greater-than-expected loss and indicated its future may be in jeopardy if it cannot secure additional financing.

Stock selection in the industrials and technology sectors contributed most to returns. In industrials, Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, Inc., a management consulting firm, delivered solid earnings and revenue growth, and successfully sold parts of its international operations. Shares of TurboChef Technologies, Inc., a maker of high-speed, commercial cooking systems, rose as the company began to widen its market to include high-end residential customers. In technology, Redback Networks, Inc., a broadband network systems producer, was acquired by Ericsson at a substantial premium. ValueClick, Inc., an Internet advertising company, increased its profit forecasts.

Among the underlying sub-advisors, BlackRock outperformed its benchmark and provided the highest absolute returns. Seligman performed in line with the index, while Oberweis and UBS trailed the benchmark.

Q:  
  HOW WAS THE FUND MANAGED?

A:  
  We aim to invest with subadvisors that represent a complementary balance of approaches to small-cap growth investing. During the reporting period, we withdrew our allocation to Seligman, placing 15% of assets instead with ClariVest Asset Management LLC, a quantitative manager that seeks companies demonstrating accelerating growth with sustainable fundamentals that are not yet fully recognized by the market place. We believe ClariVest’s approach brings style and process diversification to our current sub-advisor mix. Our largest allocations continue to be with BlackRock and Oberweis at approximately 30% and 35%, respectively. BlackRock’s investment style of growth at a reasonable price worked well. In contrast, Oberweis, which focuses on companies demonstrating top- and bottom-line growth of at least 30% per year while trading at half its growth rate, faced a much more challenging market environment. While its approach can lead to volatility, over the long-term, Oberweis has demonstrated an ability to generate strong returns. Rounding out the Fund is UBS at approximately 20%.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (2/28/03 TO 12/31/06)

 

    

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risk. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2003.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in shares of the JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, Russell 2000 Growth Index and Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index from February 28, 2003 to December 31, 2006. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000 Growth Index does not reflect the reduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund or a sales charge and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of the securities included in the benchmark. The performance of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses charged by the Fund.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth rates. The Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated categories as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment and carry no sales charge.

Performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and 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 would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares.

Q:
  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

A:
  The JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund, which seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, returned 7.08% over the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the 11.81% return for the Russell 2000 Value Index over the same period.*

Q:
  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

A:
  The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the period mainly due to stock selection in the healthcare and industrials sectors. In addition, underweight allocations in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and utilities — areas where our sub-advisors feel valuations are most stretched — detracted from returns.

In healthcare, an overweight in Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc., a contract research company, declined due to lower-than-expected earnings and revenue growth. Nuvelo, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, fell on news that its experimental anti-clotting drug failed clinical trials. Among industrial names, Watsco, Inc., a heating and air conditioning parts distributor, fell on fears of slowing residential housing purchases and improvements. Timken Co., a manufacturer of specialty metals and roller bearings, came under pressure as product demand from domestic automakers was reduced.

From a positive perspective, stock selection in the consumer discretionary, utilities and telecommunications sectors contributed to returns. At the stock-specific level, Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., the clothing manufacturer, climbed after raising its earnings forecast. Harman International Industries, Inc., the audio-visual equipment manufacturer, announced increased demand for its infotainment units, specifically from European auto manufacturers. Among utilities, PNM Resources, Inc., the New Mexico electricity provider, announced a joint energy trading venture with Cascade Investments, the investment fund for Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. Windstream Communications, the rural telephone service provider in 16 states, sold its directory business to a private equity firm, allowing it to consequently pay down debt and repurchase stock.

At the sub-advisor level, all of our sub-advisors struggled to keep up with the index. The strongest generators of returns were JPMorgan Investment Management Inc. and Vaughan Nelson. In contrast, Earnest Partners, which uses a fundamentally driven, relative value approach, and First Quadrant, which employs a quantitative approach, lagged the index. For Earnest, this was primarily due to its healthcare and industrial exposure. For First Quadrant, stock selection in financials and industrials detracted from returns.

Q:
  HOW WAS THE FUND MANAGED?

A:
  We aim to remain diversified across sub-advisors and multiple styles of small-cap value investing. Over the past six months, we have reduced our exposure to both JPMorgan and Earnest Partners. Both managers have reached capacity and we have moved to increase our weightings to both First Quadrant and Vaughan Nelson. Presently, JPMorgan and Earnest Partners constitute approximately 60% of the Fund, while First Quadrant and Vaughan Nelson make up the remaining 40%.

DECEMBER 31, 2006        JPMORGAN MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS   27



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund and JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) are series of JPMorgan Fleming Series Trust (the “Trust”), which was organized on December 24, 2002, as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — Listed securities are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded. The value of National Market System equity securities quoted by the NASDAQ Stock Market shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Unlisted securities are valued at the last sale price provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Listed securities for which the latest sales prices are not available are valued at the mean of the latest bid and ask price as of the closing of the primary exchange where such securities are normally traded. Fixed income securities (other than short-term investments maturing in 61 days or less) are valued each day based on readily available market quotations received from third party broker-dealers of comparable securities or independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services and broker-dealers will generally provide bid-side quotations. Generally, short-term investments (other than certain high yield securities) maturing in 61 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Futures, options and other derivatives are valued on the basis of available market quotations. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company’s current day closing net asset value per share.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations do not represent the value at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. 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 have been material. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in their portfolios by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless a Fund’s advisor determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value.

B. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities at a fixed price at some future date or for the change in the value of a specified financial index over a predetermined time period. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in fair value of the position. Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the Funds realize a gain or loss.

Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value 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 Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade.

Index futures contracts are used to control the asset mix of the portfolio in the most efficient manner, allowing a Fund to adjust exposures while incurring minimal transaction costs. Short index futures contracts are used for hedging purposes, i.e. to reduce the exposure to equities. Long index futures contracts are used to gain exposure to equities, when it is anticipated that this will be more efficient than buying stocks directly.

As of December 31, 2006, Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund had outstanding futures contracts as listed on its Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds first learn of the dividend.

The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of

28   JPMORGAN MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS        DECEMBER 31, 2006





capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently its/their net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

D. Allocation of Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds.

E. Federal Income Taxes — 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 the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.

F. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

G. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains are generally declared and paid at least annually. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

H. New Accounting Pronouncements — In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Management continues to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to the Funds, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.

In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

A. Advisory Fees — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor to the Funds. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”). The Advisor allocates portions of the Funds’ assets to sub-advisors and is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the overall management of the Funds and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual fee rate of 0.85% based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets.

BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. (“BlackRock”), ClariVest Asset Management LLC (“ClariVest”), UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) and Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. (“Oberweis”) are the sub-advisors for the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund. Each is responsible for the day-to-day investment decisions of its portion of this Fund. The allocation of the assets of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund among BlackRock, ClariVest, UBS Global AM and Oberweis is determined by the Advisor, subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. At December 31, 2006, the allocation of assets was 32%, 17%, 16% and 35%, respectively. The Advisor, not the Fund, will pay the sub-advisors at an annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily allocated net assets for their services.

On February 15, 2006 BlackRock Inc., the parent company of BlackRock Advisers, Inc., and Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) announced their agreement to merge Merrill Lynch’s investment management business, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, with BlackRock Inc. As a result of the merger, Merrill Lynch holds 65 million shares and has a 45% voting interest in the combined company. In connection with the merger, BlackRock Advisers, Inc. transferred the subadvisory agreement between it and the Adviser to its wholly-owned subsidiary, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”).

The transaction between BlackRock Inc. and Merrill Lynch and the transfer of the subadvisory agreement from BlackRock Advisers, Inc. to BCM may have been deemed to be an “assignment” of the subadvisory agreement under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. If an assignment had occurred, the Adviser’s subadvisory agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. would have terminated automatically in accordance with its terms. To prevent any disruption of subadvisory services, JPMIM entered into a new subadvisory agreement with BCM. Pursuant to the terms of an exemptive order obtained by J.P. Morgan Fleming Series Trust (the “Trust”) and the Adviser from the SEC (the “Exemptive Order”), the Adviser is permitted, subject to supervision and approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, to enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements without seeking shareholder approval.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (Unaudited) (continued)

On September 13, 2006 the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the disinterested Trustees, approved the new subadvisory agreement between the Adviser and BCM, which became effective after the close of business on September 29, 2006. The new subadvisory agreement with BCM is substantially the same as the previous subadvisory agreement between the Adviser and BlackRock Advisors, Inc. An Information Statement providing notice of the new subadvisory agreement between the Adviser and BCM was mailed to shareholders of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund on or about November 15, 2006.

On December 6, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the disinterested Trustees, approved a new sub-advisory agreement by and between the Advisor and ClariVest. On December 9, 2006, pursuant to the terms of the Exemptive Order, the Adviser entered into a new subadvisory agreement with ClariVest, pursuant to which ClariVest is engaged by the Adviser, to serve as a subadviser to the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund. An Information Statement providing notice of the new subadvisory agreement between the Adviser and ClariVest was mailed to shareholders of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund on or about January 26, 2007.

The sub-advisory agreement with J.&W. Seligman and Co. Incorporated, one of the sub-advisors to the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, was terminated effective December 8, 2006.

EARNEST Partners, LLC (“EARNEST”), First Quadrant, L.P. (“First Quadrant”) and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”) are the sub-advisors for the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund. The Advisor also directly manages a portion of the Fund. Each is responsible for the day-to-day investment decisions of its portion of this Fund. The allocation of the assets of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund among EARNEST, First Quadrant, Vaughan Nelson and the Advisor is determined by the Advisor, subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. At December 31, 2006 the allocation of assets was 28%, 21%, 21% and 30% respectively. The Advisor, not the Fund, will pay the sub-advisors at an annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily allocated net assets for their services.

The Funds and the Advisor have obtained an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Advisor is permitted, subject to supervision and approval of the Funds’ Trustees, to enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements without such agreements being approved by the shareholders of the Funds. As such, the Fund and the Advisor may hire, terminate, or replace sub-advisors without shareholder approval, including, without limitation, the replacement or reinstatement of any sub-advisors with respect to which a subadvisory agreement has automatically terminated as a result of an assignment. Shareholders will be notified of any changes in sub-advisors.

The Advisor waived Investment Advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

The Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. Advisory, administration and shareholder servicing fees are waived and/or reimbursed from the Funds in an amount sufficient to offset any doubling up of these fees related to each Fund’s investment in an affiliated money market fund to the extent required by law.

The amount of these waivers/reimbursements resulting from investments in the money market funds for the period ended are as follows (amounts in thousands):

B. Administration Fees — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the JPMorgan Fund Complex (excluding funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. As of December 31, 2006, the Funds were accruing Administration fees at a rate of 0.10% as a percentage of net assets.

J.P. Morgan Investor Services, Co. (“JPMIS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ Sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMIS receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares. The Distributor receives no compensation in its capacity as the Funds’ underwriter.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets.

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

30   JPMORGAN MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS        DECEMBER 31, 2006




E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) provides portfolio custody and accounting services for the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The custodian fees may be reduced by credits earned by each Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in as Interest expense in the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceed 1.40% of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets.

The contractual expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The expense limitation percentages above are in place until at least October 31, 2007.

For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expects the Funds to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor, the Administrator, the Sub-administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. Each Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in the Trustees’ and Officers’ fees in the Statement of Operations.

During the period, certain Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Advisor.

The Funds may use related party brokers/dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with brokers/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments subject to certain conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (Unaudited) (continued)

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order (“Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The Interfund Loan Rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because they are investment companies in the same ”group of investment companies“ (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the JPMorgan Funds including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 20, 2007.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2006, or at any time during the six months then ended.

Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense in the Statement of Operations.

7. Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

From time to time, the Funds’ investment advisor or an affiliate may exercise discretion on behalf of certain of its clients with respect to the purchase or sale of a significant portion of the Funds’ outstanding shares. Investment activities on behalf of these shareholders could impact the Funds.

Because each Sub-advisor makes investment decisions independently, it is possible that the stock selection process of the Funds’ exposure to a given stock, industry or market capitalization could unintentionally be smaller or larger than intended.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment at Beginning of Period
December 31, 2006

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs, including investment advisory fees, administration 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 costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Fund at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2006.

Actual Expenses

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 of each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 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 Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)

    

The Board of Trustees met in person in December 2006, to consider the continuation of investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements, as applicable (together, the “Advisory Agreements”) for the Funds whose annual report is contained herein. At the meeting, the Board reviewed and considered performance and expense information for each Fund, as well as information about the advisor to each Fund, which is J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Advisor”) and certain sub-advisors to the Funds, which are, in the case of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc., Oberweis Asset Management, Inc., and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. and in the case of Multi-Manager Small Cap Value, Earnest Partners, LLC, First Quadrant, L.P. and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (the “Sub-Advisors” and together with the Advisor, the “Advisors”). The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the Advisory Agreements on December 5, 2006.

The Trustees, as part of their ongoing oversight of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, receive from the Advisor and review on a regular basis over the course of the year, information regarding the performance of the Funds. This information includes the Funds’ performance against the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of each Fund’s performance. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of funds in the Funds’ peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the December meeting, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and with counsel to the Trust and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approval in private sessions with independent counsel at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Prior to and during the course of the meeting the Trustees requested and received additional information from the Funds’ management.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between each Fund and its applicable Advisors, as provided in the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. On this basis, the Trustees unanimously approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreements. In reaching their determinations with respect to approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following:

 1.  
  Comparative performance information;

 2.  
  The nature, extent and quality of investment and administrative services rendered by the Advisor and its affiliates and, where applicable, the Sub-Advisors;

 3.  
  Payments received by the Advisor and its affiliates in respect of each Fund and all Funds as a group;

 4.  
  The costs borne by, and profitability of, the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund and to all Funds as a group, and financial information provided by the Sub-Advisors;

 5.  
  Comparative fee and expense data for each Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives;

 6.  
  Extent to which the advisor may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing or supporting the Fund;

 7.  
  Fall-out benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates and to the Sub-Advisors from their relationships with the Funds;

 8.  
  Fees charged by the Advisor to other clients with similar investment objectives;

 9.  
  The professional experience and qualifications of each Fund’s portfolio management teams and other senior personnel of the Advisors; and

10.  
  The terms of the Advisory Agreements.

In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Trustees also took into account those interests of the Funds that were in common.

The matters discussed below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided
by each Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees took

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited) (continued)

    


into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee Meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees took into account shareholder expectations that the Advisor would be managing the Fund. The Trustees also considered the management and oversight services provided by the Advisor, which they viewed as being of very high quality; the significant investments management had made in the asset management business during 2006; the benefits to the Fund of being part of the larger JPMorgan family of funds; the integrity and reputation of JPMorgan and the asset management organization; the financial stability of the JPMorgan organization and the adequacy of the resources of the asset management organization; and the long-term strategic issues for the Fund. The Trustees also considered that the Advisor continues to recommend the retention of each Sub-Advisor.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisor’s services are of a nature, quality and extent that meet the Fund’s operational requirements, are satisfactory and are sufficient for renewal.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor

At the request of the Trustees, the Advisor provided information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and certain affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data, which included profitability of the Advisor and Administrator on both a separate and combined basis. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited. In addition, the Trustees recognized that this data represents the Advisor’s determination of its and its affiliates revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Advisor. The Trustees noted that the management entities are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for services to the funds. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular advisor, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Advisor of each of the Investment Advisory Agreements was not excessive in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund. The Trustees also considered the financial information provided by the Sub-Advisors, and concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable, in light of all matters considered.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Advisor and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor discontinued third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Funds but that certain Sub-Advisors continued to benefit from such soft dollar arrangements. The Trustees also considered that JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, earns fees from the Fund for providing administrative services. These fees were shown in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMCB for custody and fund accounting and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Funds does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Advisor has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMFM does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall non-money market fund assets, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds were benefiting from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services provided to other clients of the Advisor for investment products with comparable investment goals and strategies and the fee rates paid by these clients. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Advisor’s other clients and the differences in the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered relative performance and expense information for each Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included each Fund’s ranking within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for the one-year and three-year periods. The Trustees also considered each Fund’s performance in comparison to the performance results of a group (the “Peer Group”) of funds. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Peer Group and Universe Group. The Trustees recognized that performance of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund was below the median for the one and three year periods. The Trustees recognized that longer term performance of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund compared more favorably against its peers. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for each Fund at regular Board meetings and the Advisor’s analysis provided at this meeting of each Fund’s performance and each Sub-Advisor’s performance relative to its strategy and process and its Fund’s overall performance. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the processes being employed and asked that the Advisor continue to provide the Trustees with its regular performance reviews at each of the Trustees’ meetings.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Advisor by comparing that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Funds make no additional payment to the Sub-Advisors and that the Sub-Advisors are compensated for their services by the Advisor. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Funds’ management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee rate and the administration fee. The Trustees also considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking waivers and reimbursements into account. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The review of the Lipper reports and the actions taken as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios is summarized below:

The Trustees noted that although the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were above the median for competitor funds, the excess was a relatively small number of basis points, and they concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were consistent with the median for competitor funds, and they concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

BOARD REVIEW OF CLARIVEST SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)

    

The Board of Trustees, at meetings held in person in September and December 2006, considered a proposal to approve a Subadvisory Agreement with ClariVest on behalf of the Growth Fund. The ClariVest Subadvisory Agreement was approved by the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the ClariVest Subadvisory Agreement or “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of any such party, on December 6, 2006.

In considering the ClariVest Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees had before them information to evaluate the experience of ClariVest’ key personnel in portfolio management, the quality of services ClariVest is expected to provide to the Growth Fund, and the compensation proposed to be paid to ClariVest by JPMIM. The Trustees also considered the quality of the investment research capabilities of ClariVest, its financial resources and the other resources ClariVest would dedicate to performing services for the Growth Fund.

The Trustees reviewed the ClariVest Subadvisory Agreement, pursuant to which ClariVest will manage the Growth Fund’s assets allocated to it (the “Assets”) subject to the general supervision of the Trustees, in accordance with the Growth Fund’s investment objective, policies, and restrictions, in compliance with requirements applicable to registered investment companies, and such other limitations as JPMIM may institute. ClariVest will make investment decisions for its Assets, place purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions for its Assets, and employ professional portfolio managers and securities analysts to provide research services to its Assets. ClariVest will conduct a continual program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of its Assets. In addition, ClariVest will (i) regularly report to the Trustees and JPMIM with respect to its implementation of the investment program, compliance matters and other topics requested by the Trustees or JPMIM, (ii) consult with the Growth Fund’s pricing agent regarding the valuation of securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and (iii) provide information about other accounts managed by ClariVest that have investment objectives, policies, and strategies substantially similar to those employed by ClariVest for the Growth Fund. The Board believes that the terms and conditions of the ClariVest Subadvisory Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of the Growth Fund and its shareholders.

The Trustees noted that, while ClariVest was a relatively new company that commenced operations earlier in 2006, its portfolio management team had considerable experience managing small cap assets. The Trustees examined the portfolio management team’s historical performance and risk characteristics in the small-cap growth category against its benchmark index over the one year, three year, and five year periods ended September 30, 2006 as well as the period January 1, 2000 through September 30, 2006.

The Trustees further noted JPMIM’s role as the Advisor and its affiliate JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc.’s role as Administrator to the Growth Fund and their oversight of Subadvisors as such on behalf of the Growth Fund.

The Trustees also noted the pending litigation against ClariVest and its principals and consulted with Fund Counsel and Independent Trustee Counsel as to its potential implications for the Fund.

The Board determined that (i) the subadvisory services offered by ClariVest could reasonably be expected to complement the services provided by the Growth Fund’s other subadvisors in a manner that would be consistent with and further its “manager of managers” strategy, (ii) the investment performance history of ClariVest’s portfolio management team was favorable on an absolute and relative basis, (iii) ClariVest’s portfolio management team has experience in managing investment company assets and that ClariVest’s portfolio management team has demonstrated its ability to adhere to compliance procedures, and (iv) the fees for the advisory services to be rendered by ClariVest are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made by others offering the same or similar services.

BOARD REVIEW OF BLACKROCK SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)

    

The BCM Subadvisory Agreement was approved by the Trustees, including a majority of the Disinterested Trustees, on September 13, 2006.

The Board of Trustees met in person on September 13, 2006, to consider the approval of a Sub-Advisory Agreement with BCM to prevent any disruption of sub-advisory services to the Growth Fund. In considering the BCM Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees were presented with information demonstrating that the terms of the BCM Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Growth Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative.

The Board reviewed BlackRock’s historical performance against its benchmark index over the quarter-to-date, year-to-date, one-year and since-inception periods ended August 31, 2006. The Board also considered information presented at its meeting on March 28, 2006 by representatives of BlackRock, in which BlackRock’s transaction with Merrill Lynch and BlackRock’s investment process and performance were discussed. It was noted that the Board had received assurances that the same portfolio management personnel were expected to provide services to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with BCM as were providing services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc., and that there were not expected to be any changes in the sub-advisory services provided by BCM as compared with those provided by BlackRock Advisors, Inc.

The Board determined that because the advisory services to be provided by BCM were not expected to result in any changes to the advisory services provided by BlackRock Advisors, Inc., the appointment of the new sub-advisor would not impact any of the factors which the Board had previously considered to evaluate the services of BlackRock Advisors, Inc and the basis for its prior approval of the sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. remained valid. It was also noted that the Sub-Advisory Agreement with BCM would be reviewed again, along with the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Fund’s other Sub-Advisors, in conjunction with the December, 2006 Board meeting. The Board’s considerations in approving the sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. at its meeting held on March 9–10, 2005 were as follows:

•  
  The Board was presented with information demonstrating that the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund and its shareholders.

•  
  In considering the Subadvisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc., the Trustees had before them information to evaluate the experience of BlackRock’s key personnel in portfolio management, the quality of services BlackRock is expected to provide to the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, and the compensation proposed to be paid to BlackRock. The Trustees gave due consideration to all factors deemed to be relevant to the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, including, but not limited to the following:

•  
  The Trustees reviewed the Subadvisory Agreement, pursuant to which BlackRock will manage the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund’s assets allocated to it (the “Subadvisor Assets”) subject to the general supervision of the Trustees, in accordance with the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund’s investment objective, policies, and restrictions, in compliance with requirements applicable to registered investment companies, and such other limitations as JPMIM may institute. BlackRock will make investment decisions for its Subadvisor Assets, place purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions for its Subadvisor Assets, and employ professional portfolio managers and securities analysts to provide research services to its Subadvisor Assets. BlackRock will conduct a continual program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of its Subadvisor Assets. In addition, BlackRock will (i) regularly report to the Trustees and JPMIM with respect to its implementation of the investment program, compliance matters and other topics requested by the Trustees or JPMIM, (ii) consult with the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund’s pricing agent regarding the valuation of securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and (iii) provide information about other accounts managed by BlackRock that have investment objectives, policies, and strategies substantially similar to those employed by BlackRock for the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund. The Trustees also considered the quality of the investment research capabilities of BlackRock and the other resources BlackRock has dedicated to performing services for the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund.

•  
  The Trustees examined BlackRock’s historical performance and risk characteristics in the small-cap growth category against its benchmark index over the one-quarter, one-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2004.

•  
  The Trustees considered the investment subadvisory fee rate to be paid by JPMIM to BlackRock against the subadvisory fees charged by other subadvisors with investment objectives similar to those of BlackRock.

•  
  The Board determined that (i) the subadvisory services offered by BlackRock could reasonably be expected to

  complement the services provided by the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund’s other subadvisors in a manner that would be consistent with and further its “manager of managers” strategy, (ii) the investment performance history of BlackRock’s portfolio management team was favorable on an absolute and relative basis, (iii) BlackRock has experience in managing investment company assets and that BlackRock’s portfolio management team has demonstrated its ability to adhere to compliance procedures, and (iv) the fees for the advisory services to be rendered by BlackRock are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made by others offering the same or similar services.

As a result of its consideration of the information presented, Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Sub-Advisory Agreement or “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, approved the BCM Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Growth Fund to become effective on September 30, 2006.

Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).
